Revision 1

Overview

Belville is a neighborhood located near Vice City in Vice-Dale County, in the state of Leonida. Its existence was revealed in the September 2022 GTA VI leaks, where the name appeared on a highway sign along Interstate 97. The sign indicated that Belville is reachable by taking Exit 13A onto State Route 10, the same exit that leads to Ekanfinaka, placing the two neighborhoods in close proximity to each other.

Geography

Belville is situated along the Interstate 97 corridor in Vice-Dale County. Its placement on the same highway exit as Ekanfinaka (Exit 13A to State Route 10) indicates that the two neighborhoods are adjacent or very close together. This positions Belville in the inland portion of the Vice City metropolitan area, away from the beachfront districts.

The neighborhood's exact boundaries and internal geography remain unconfirmed, as Belville was identified exclusively through highway signage rather than direct gameplay footage. Based on its real-world counterpart, it likely occupies a residential area west of Downtown Vice City.

Points of Interest

No specific points of interest within Belville have been confirmed through official trailers or leaked footage. The neighborhood was identified solely from the Exit 13A highway sign on Interstate 97. Internal landmarks, businesses, and features will be revealed in the final game.

Real-World Inspiration

Belville appears to be based on Brownsville, an unincorporated community in the Miami metropolitan area of Miami-Dade County, Florida. Several clues support this connection:

• Both names share the "-ville" suffix, a common naming pattern in Southern U.S. communities.

• Belville sits in close proximity to Ekanfinaka, which is based on Allapattah. In real life, Brownsville is adjacent to Allapattah in Miami.

• The geographic positioning relative to the highway system mirrors the real-world layout of these Miami neighborhoods.

Brownsville is a historically African-American neighborhood in Miami-Dade County, known for its residential character and proximity to major transportation corridors. It experienced significant development during the mid-twentieth century as Miami expanded westward from its coastal core.

Trivia

• Belville and Ekanfinaka are the only two neighborhoods in GTA VI confirmed exclusively through a shared highway exit sign.

• The highway sign listing both locations appeared in footage from the September 2022 leak, specifically on Interstate 97 at Exit 13A.

• The GTA Wiki notes that Belville's content is derived from leaked material "which may or may not appear in the final game," making it one of the less certain confirmed locations.

• The name "Belville" may combine "bel" (beautiful in French) with "ville" (town), possibly a nod to the French influences present in South Florida's history.
