East Los Santos is a neighborhood of Los Santos, San Andreas, that appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description[]

It is a vast neighborhood in the east of Los Santos, hence the name. It is bordered by Las Colinas to the north, East Beach and Los Flores to the east, Ganton to the south, and Jefferson and Idlewood to the west.

East Los Santos has a very high crime rate. Prostitutes, gang bangers, and drug dealers can often be found in the area causing a disturbance. The district is primarily residential but does have some popular small-time businesses and zones. The area consists of many small, single-story houses, apartments, and housing projects. East Los Santos is a predominantly Mexican/Hispanic neighborhood, despite being controlled by the Ballas, and has many Latin-themed stores and restaurants. It is also home to sizeable Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Colombian communities. It is based on the real-life municipality of East Los Angeles, with some influence from Florence-Graham.

Spoiler Warning: Plot details, ending details, or both are in the text which follows.

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, East Los Santos is a stronghold for the Ballas, who use the area as a base to launch attacks on Grove Street Family members in Ganton. Conflict between the Ballas and Los Santos Vagos gangs does not occur in East Los Santos, due to the two gangs co-operating with each other. Carl Johnson and Denise Robinson meet in East Los Santos during the mission Burning Desire. Carl had set fire to some homes owned by a member of the Los Santos Vagos under orders from C.R.A.S.H. But Carl managed to rescue Denise from the blazing inferno after hearing her cries for help.

East Los Santos is also the main setting for the final mission End of the Line. During this mission, Carl Johnson fights his way past Ballas, Los Santos Vagos, San Fierro Rifa and Russian Mafia gang members in order to reach his former friend Big Smoke, who he then kills. Frank Tenpenny then starts a fire in Smoke's Crack Palace, leaving Carl to fight his way back out of the building, whilst also fighting against the flames. After escaping the burning building, which suffers a series of explosions as Carl just escapes in the nick of time, Carl and Sweet Johnson chase Officer Tenpenny through Ganton and other districts of the city during the riots.

Gang Control[]

The district is controlled by the Ballas gang. East Los Santos has, prior to early 1992, had areas controlled by the Los Santos Vagos and the Grove Street Families; it's unknown whether the Ballas and Vagos fought a war or made a diplomatic agreement in regards to East Los Santos. The announcer of Radio Los Santos claims that the Vagos were fighting a war with the Aztecas in East Los Santos in the beginning of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas's story.
