Rockford Hills is an incorporated affluent city in Los Santos County, San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. The area also contains the smaller neighbourhood of Burton.
Description[]
It is bordered by Hawick and Alta to the east, Downtown and Little Seoul to the south, Vinewood Hills to the north, and Richman, Morningwood, and Backlot City to the west.
Rockford Hills can be divided into two sections: northern end and southern end. The northern end consists of mostly residential homes and a small street with fancy restaurants. The southern end is dedicated to shopping and is also where Portola Drive is located. The Rockford Hills City Hall is located at the centre, just across the street from Mount Zonah Medical Center. The fire station and police station are situated here as well. In the east, the Rockford Plaza serves as the shopping centre to obtain overpriced clothing.
The district contains many high-end mansions, most of them built using Spanish-style architecture, a common styling for mansions in real-life Beverly Hills. Almost all of the mansions in Rockford Hills have a gate, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.
Influence[]
The district is based on Beverly Hills, California for its mansions and luxury lifestyle, with elements from Century City. Rockford Hills also contains many corporate buildings and retail outlets that are based on real life buildings and outlets in Beverly Hills. Even though the real Beverly Hills is a city separate from Los Angeles, Rockford Hills is considered a district of Los Santos.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
The area is a setting for many missions in the game, particularly those which start or occur at Michael's mansion.
In Complications, Simeon orders Franklin to secretly invade the mansion and repossess Jimmy's BeeJay XL. Michael, hidden in the back seat, threatens Franklin with a gun and orders him to smash the windows of Simeon's dealership.
In Did Somebody Say Yoga?, Michael is given a spiked drink by Jimmy, he's pushed out of his car by Jimmy near their mansion in the neighborhood, shortly before Michael's hallucination of an alien abduction occurs.
In Meltdown, Devin Weston sends several Merryweather guards to take hostage of Michael's family, while Michael and Jimmy were in the Oriental Theater celebrating their film. A large shootout between Michael and the guards took place in the mansion, and Michael's family survived.
