It contains 12 out of the city's 65 neighborhoods, while its population is the third highest, estimated at 1,368,198. Its real-life archetype is Brooklyn. It is situated to the south of the borough of Dukes and connected to Algonquin by the Broker and Algonquin bridges. Streets in Broker are named after Western-era cowboys and cowboy-related words (Cassidy Street, Deadwood Street, Earp Street, Hickcock Street, and Kid Street are some examples). Avenues in Broker are primarily named after Native North American tribes (Iroquois Ave, Mohawk Avenue, Onondaga Avenue, and Seneca Avenue are some examples).
Beachgate is an affluent gated community made up of 15 detached single-family homes and an apartment building. It is enclosed by a brick gate at Shinnecock Avenue guarded by an LCPD officer at all times. The neighborhood has a picturesque atmosphere which clearly detaches it from the gritty, urban character of the remainder of the borough. The Broker Electrical Substation is located on Shinnecock Avenue.
With only a handful of small businesses and a residential stock in catastrophic state, Beechwood City is by far the poorest and most neglected district of Broker. Much of the housing consists of low-rise tenements as well as a public housing residential complex, Beechwood Towers. Beechwood City is also notorious for its high crime rate, drug problems, and gang violence. It is home to the Yardies street gang, although members of the Angels of Death like to hang out around the Burger Shot. Skinheads can also be spotted around this area at night.
BOABO is an industrial and residential district which lies on sea level along the Humboldt River like its neighbor to the south, East Hook. BOABO appears to experience major gentrification, with many of its abandoned industrial facilities having been converted to lofts and condos. However, several warehouses and docks remain, particularly around the southern part of the neighborhood. The effect of gentrification can also be seen in neighboring East Hook, although to a far lesser extent due to its proximity to a working port.
BOABO (Beneath the Off-ramp of the Algonquin Bridge Overpass)is an industrial and residential district which lies on sea level along the Humboldt River like its neighbor to the south, East Hook. BOABO appears to experience major gentrification, with many of its abandoned industrial facilities having been converted to lofts and condos. However, several warehouses and docks remain, particularly around the southern part of the neighborhood. The effect of gentrification can also be seen in neighboring East Hook, although to a far lesser extent due to its proximity to a working port.
As its name implies, it is the downtown area of Broker; as such, it is the civic and commercial center of the borough. Downtown is a very bustling and lively neighborhood, seeing a great amount of pedestrian and traffic flow. Several governmental offices are established in the area, most notably the LTA Headquarters, located on Munsee Avenue. The main commercial strip is Montauk Avenue. The average height of buildings in the neighbourhood is much taller than in other areas around Broker. It is also the only downtown in Liberty City clearly marked by high rises outside of Algonquin.
East Hook is an industrial zone home to the Broker Navy Yard. It primarily consists of warehouses, docking facilities, and other such industrial structures. Like neighboring BOABO, it lies at sea level along the Humboldt River to facilitate the accomodation of ships. East Hook appears to be undergoing gentrification, with a few of its larger properties being converted for residential and commercial use. However, the effect of gentrification in the neighborhood is minor compared to BOABO, its neighbor to the north, which has seen a much greater deal of its industrial properties turned into lofts and other living spaces.
Firefly Island is an amusement park, bordered to the north by Crockett Avenue (Hove Beach), to the west by the Humboldt River, to the south by an unnamed body of water, and to the east by Shinnecock Avenue (Beachgate). Despite being called an island, it is actually physically connected to the Broker mainland. The Alexander Boardwalk separates the beach from the amusement park. The boardwalk runs from Mohawk Avenue to Shinnecock Avenue.
Firefly Projects is a working-class, run-down and heavily deprived residential neighborhood which mostly consists of large housing projects, the largest of Broker. The area suffers from intense gang violence as well as drug trafficking, and vagrants and prostitutes are ubiquitous. A train yard that branches off the Broker Line is located on Ringo Street.
Hove Beach is one of the largest and most populous neighborhoods of Broker. It is primarily made up of tenements, terraced houses, bars, shops, and warehouses. The residents, predominantly of Eastern European descent with a significant Russian population, seem to appertain to the working-class and middle-class. This cultural influence is reflected in the local businesses, where many, if not most, have signage written in Cyrillic script. The main thoroughfare of Hove Beach, Mohawk Avenue, tends to experience significant traffic congestion during the day.
The neighborhood, predominantly occupied by Outlook Park, is home to a handful of businesses and dwellings along Oneida Avenue which seem to appertain to an upper middle class population. Indeed, the sumptuous Italianate-style townhouses, along with the Outlook Apartment Building, the tallest building of Outlook, are testimony to an exceptional level of wealth and plenitude of local residents. The most prominent landmark of Outlook is Soldier's Plaza, a triumphal arch in homage to the fighters of the Union during the American Civil War.
Rotterdam Hill is bounded by BOABO, Downtown, Outlook and East Hook. It appears to be an affluent neighborhood with many Italianate brownstones. Yeah, there's... not much to say about Rotterdam. They're kind of poor most of the time, though.
Schottler appears to be one of the poorest districts of Broker. Many buildings are in a profound state of disrepair, and vagrants are omnipresent. The neighborhood is mostly made up of small businesses, tenements, and a couple of public housing projects. It is home to Schottler Medical Center, the only hospital in Broker. Two high-rise office buildings, the Dillon Street Building and the Cassidy Street building, can be found on Tuscarora Avenue, next to Cassidy Street Car Park. Two rows of brownstones flank Cassidy Street, many of which are abandoned.
South Slopes appears to be an upper middle-class residential and commercial neighborhood in Broker. It contains a few low-rise apartment buildings, a single large housing complex, and several brownstones. The area also contains many local small-time businesses and stores. South Slopes is among the safest neighborhoods of Broker.
