Wichita Gardens

Wichita Gardens is a planned housing community in Shoreside Vale, Liberty City. Created in 1957 to accomodate housing needs for the amount of homeless people in Liberty City as well as the new Pike Creek industrial district that was erected on the other side of the Cochrane River. Wichita Gardens is connected by a four-lane route to Pike Creek through the Cochrane Dam, and a road that goes through Cedar Grove.

Many residents got apartments for free if they could prove that they didn't have a criminal record and that they were below the poverty line. Within 5 months, all of the apartment rooms in the housing projects had been rented out. Drug dealing and crime started to happen in the early 1960's and has sincely, continued to grow.
