Berchem is a town in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City located in central Alderney. It is bounded to the north by Koresh Square (Alderney City), to the east by Mueri Street and to the south by Edison Avenue (Acter), and to the west by the ocean.
Description[]
Berchem appears to be an affluent town with many Italianate townhouses and tenements and a couple of upscale condominiums. However, there are many abandoned buildings and businesses scattered around, suggesting the area has been in decline commercially for some time.
Influence[]
Berchem seems primarily based on Hoboken, New Jersey, while incorporating certain elements of Elizabeth. Its name may have been derived from the Berchem district of Antwerp, Belgium, which neighbors Hoboken, the namesake of the town in New Jersey.
