Citymm view from miles above.
Downtown Casuxo with southside in view and Midtown across the bay.
Southside Casuxo, a once segregated neighborhood, that suffers from a bloody history of racism and prejudice. This neighborhood had the highest murder rate in the city during the 90s but it is slowly gentrifying and residents are being forced out to other neighborhoods.
Four island junction that links the main island in the North to the Baywood Islands in the south, there is an offshoot in the highway that goes west towards Stafford Island.
West Stafford Island. Consists of two residential neighborhoods; Lejos de Casa, a large working class hispanic neighborhood, and The Jungle, a collection of public housing estates on the west side that backs up to Casuxo Jungle State Park. The Jungle is known for being one of the areas where hip-hop originated.

East Stafford Island. This area consists of the wealthiest residents in Casuxo. It is filled with sprawling estates and vast gardens.
The rest of Stafford.
Laslow CBD. This business district was developed during the 50s-80s and further development has been stagnant since then. Today this area is largely vacant and is controlled by gangs. The northside is home to multiple public housing estates.
Rowen Park, a large affordable neighborhood that is a mix of middle and working class people. This neighborhood is notable for its large Muslim population. It also has the largest mosque in the United States.
South Central. South Central is one of the largest and most diverse areas in Casuxo. It consists of four neighborhoods. Las Torres, on the west side, is a working class hispanic neighborhood. Marcelas, making up the central part of the area, is the largest collection of section 8 and public housing in the city. Marcelas has one of the highest violent crime rates of any neighborhood in the city. Not to mention the strong gang presence. East Grove, on the east side of the area, is a poor neighborhood filled predominantly with duplexes and single family homes. Resort City at the southern tip, is a resort filled with pristine beaches, clear water, bikinis, and casinos.
Far South. Far South is an industrialized residential neighborhood with a public housing estate on the east side. Once built as worker housing in the 20s-50s, decline began as deindustrialization started. This area is very blighted and has the lowest per capita income of any neighborhood in Casuxo. Gentrification is beginning.
