Overview

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online

North Los Santos is the wealthiest and most visibly polished part of Los Santos. It stretches from the entertainment district around Vinewood Boulevard and the high-rise shopping streets of Rockford Hills to the expensive estates of Richman and Vinewood Hills, then west along the coast through Pacific Bluffs and Chumash. The region combines tourist attractions, film studios, celebrity homes, luxury retail, golf, hillside roads and some of the most useful story locations in the game.

It is also one of the most important areas in Story Mode. Michael De Santa’s family home is in Rockford Hills, Franklin frequently works in and around the district, several Strangers and Freaks encounters occur on the northern roads, and many assassination, property and random-event locations are close together. In GTA Online, the same geography remains, but additional businesses, properties, activities and mission locations change the practical importance of particular buildings.
