Presidents City is a neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located on the eastern waterfront of Algonquin, Liberty City.
Description[]
The neighborhood is located by the Humboldt River, bordering Lancet to the north by Jade Street, Easton to the west by Albany Avenue, and Lower Easton and Fishmarket North to the south by Garnet Street.
Presidents City is made up of four public housing projects (also known as the Governor Greg R. Smith Houses) and a pair of identical apartment buildings. The neighborhood is home to the "Alphabet Brotherhood Center" (ABC), at the east of which can be found a children's playground and basketball courts.
Influence[]
Its proximity with Lower Easton and location relative to its real life counterpart in Manhattan, New York, suggests the area, at least where its name is concerned, is based on Alphabet City. The prevalence of co-op buildings suggests the district's design is predominantly based on co-op apartment areas between Kips Bay and the Lower East Side, on the east side of Manhattan.
Liberty City Hardcore transmits from this area, and a high frequency of skinheads, skaters, and other "punk" pedestrians can be seen walking around, reflective of the real Alphabet City's punk scene.
