Not to be confused with Middle Park Safehouse from Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
The Middle Park East Safehouse is a safehouse in Grand Theft Auto IV in Middle Park East, Algonquin, Liberty City. It is located on the northwest corner of Albany Avenue and Pyrite Street.
Description[]
The safehouse is modern and stylishly furnished, including a bedroom with a king-sized bed and a cowskin carpet, a (non-functioning) wine cellar in the back, a kitchen with a small island, several Krapea armchairs and a leather sofa in front of a Panoramic flat-screen TV, a radio (which is tuned to Electro-Choc) and a laptop which can be used to access the internet. There is an inaccessible door like the other safehouses, which likely leads to the bathroom.
The apartment's large glass windows look out onto the Humboldt River towards Charge Island and Dukes. The East Borough Bridge is a key landmark visible from the apartment, but distant views of the Algonquin Bridge and Colony Island can also be discerned from the northern window. Like the other safehouses, there is a two-car parking space outside. Quartz East station at Albany Avenue and Quartz Street is also easily accessible from the safehouse, with one entrance directly visible to the north from the apartment's entrance.
Obtention of the Safehouse[]
The Middle Park East Safehouse is the third or fourth safehouse acquirable by Niko Bellic depending on the player's choice in The Holland Play. The safehouse is unlocked after the completion of Hostile Negotiation, when further threats from Dimitri Rascalov in Bohan compelled Roman Bellic to search for a safer accommodation in neighboring Algonquin. After a period of time, Roman calls about his purchase of the Middle Park East apartment. The safehouse is a huge improvement over the South Bohan Safehouse and remains vastly superior to the next safehouse.
Influence[]
The Albany Avenue apartment building appears to be based on 1125 Lexington Avenue[1] in New York, United States, albeit lacking the fire escapes and storefront awning, and essentially mirroring the layout.

Trivia[]
- A Rockstar logo can be seen on the couch.[ref?]
- The safehouse is the best opportunity for the player to earn the "One Man Army" achievement/trophy as the police will not follow the player up to the lift of the safehouse.
- This safehouse, along with Playboy X's Penthouse, are the two best places in the base game to store law enforcement vehicles as police rarely patrol on foot here, which as a result do not prompt officers to steal a player's police vehicle in order to transport or pursue a suspect.
