Northern Gardens is primarily an urban, residential neighborhood. The part of the neighborhood east of Altona Avenue (which almost constitutes its entirety) contains high-rise apartments as its exclusive housing stock, whereas smaller apartments, townhouses, and duplexes can be found near the Little Bay border. It is arguably the most lively of the northern Bohan neighborhoods, claiming almost every public attraction to be found in this part of the borough. | Northern Gardens is primarily an urban, residential neighborhood.

Northern Gardens is prized for its amazing views of the body of water to the north, described in the official game map as "one of the most tranquil and picturesque shorelines in the whole of Liberty City." Indeed, the neighborhood's (partial) position at the end of the aforementioned ridge makes it a popular destination for Bohan residents wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of the gritty neighborhoods to the south. | Northern Gardens is prized for its amazing views of the body of water to the north, described in the official game map as "one of the most tranquil and picturesque shorelines in the whole of Liberty City."

The [[Subway in GTA IV|Liberty City Subway]] does not serve Northern Gardens. The [[Windmill Street LTA|Windmill Street station]] is the closest to the neighborhood; however, it is located quite a distance from the neighborhood's southeast corner. Residents of Northern Gardens wishing to use the station are required to make a trip through a neighborhood ([[Industrial]]) to reach it, making it much more of a hassle than its worth to use it. | The [[Subway in GTA IV|Liberty City Subway]] does not serve Northern Gardens.
