Changes: Northwood

Revision as of 18:42, 26 July 2019

Northwood is a neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in the northern region of Algonquin, Liberty City.

Character

Northwood is mostly made up of small stores and public housing projects. Despite this, the northern part of the neighborhood has many green areas and abandoned piers. The area is somewhat deprived and poverty-ridden, though Dwayne Forge owns a penthouse in the area, which his former protege Trey Stewart lived in. Northwood's demographic is mainly African-American and Latino (mainly Dominican). The Northwood Heights Bridge connects Algonquin with Bohan, starting from the north end of Frankfort Avenue in Northwood. Northwood is bordered to the south by both North Holland and East Holland.

Northwood has a high crime rate, with drug dealing and gang violence commonplace on its many housing projects. The area is controlled by a diverse mix of gangs, including the North Holland Hustlers, Uptown Riders, Angels of Death and Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers.

Influences

Northwood is based on a mixture of two real life neighborhoods of Manhattan, Inwood and Washington Heights.

Transportation

The nearest LTA stops are Frankfort High and Frankfort Low.

Places of Interest

Arm Wrestling against Uptown Riders members (only in the Lost and Damned).
Governor Greg Johnson Projects
L.C. Cage Fighters (only in the Ballad of Gay Tony).

 ==Character==
+Northwood is mostly made up of small stores and public housing projects. Despite this, the northern part of the neighborhood has many green areas and abandoned piers. The area is somewhat deprived and poverty-ridden, though [[Dwayne Forge]] owns a [[Playboy X's Penthouse|penthouse]] in the area, which his former protege [[Playboy X|Trey Stewart]] lived in. Northwood's demographic is mainly African-American and Latino (mainly [[Dominican Republic|Dominican]]). The [[Northwood Heights Bridge]] connects [[Algonquin]] with [[Bohan]], starting from the north end of [[Frankfort Avenue]] in Northwood. Northwood is bordered to the south by both [[North Holland]] and [[East Holland]].

-Northwood is mostly made up of small stores and Public Housing Projects. Despite the area being considered "Working Class", [[Playboy X]] owns his luxury Monaco style penthouse there, which is ironic because in some missions he implied about how much he hated poor people. The Northwood Heights Bridge connects [[Algonquin]] with [[Bohan]], starting from the north end of Frankfort Avenue in Northwood. [[North Holland]] and [[East Holland]] are to the south of Northwood. Many African-Americans reside in Northwood, along with the [[North Holland Hustlers]] and the [[Uptown Riders]]. Revealed in The [[Lost and Damned]], Northwood is the main turf to [[Angels of Death]]'s as well. In The [[Ballad of Gay Tony]] it is the turf of the [[Dominican Drug Cartel|Dominican Cartel]] and they can be seen walking around Northwood.

-==Trivia==
-*[[Image:BetaNorthwood.png|thumb|right|250px|Beta Northwood.]] The Public Housing Projects in Northwood are considered "scary" by most players because of the ghostly apartments, the bloody pillows and matresses, and the [[Prostitutes|hookers]] and cocaine in all the apartments.
