The hood is quite a prominent location in GTA 5 and GTA Online and you should definitely visit it to go down memory lane. Here are the locations called ‘the hood’ in GTA 5 and where to find them.

The GTA franchise is full of iconic locations and characters. Although GTA 6 will begin a new era where you’ll follow the storyline revolving around Lucia and Jason, old games in the series are still wildly popular, with GTA Online being one of the most played and watched titles in the world in 2024.

While roaming around Los Santos, you’re bound to feel nostalgic at times, and one of the best locations to feel that way is the hood. Introduced in San Andreas, it is still one of the most known locations in the series, which explains its addition to GTA 5 as well.

On that note, here’s where to find the hood in GTA 5.
