AREAS IN SOUTH FREEDOM

The Boardwalk -- The boardwalk is lined with hotels and casinos. It runs along the shore of the South River between the Wallace Expressway and Route 4.

Southside -- South of the Boardwalk is the Southside district, bounded by Route 4 and Route 6. Southside is mostly middle and lower-middle class, but growing pockets of poverty and crime have been eating away at the community for years.

Lincoln -- West of Southside, Lincoln was built up in the 50s and 60s,. It is predominantly an African American community, with pockets of Hispanic and other ethnic groups. Many people who live here work along the Boardwalk and nearby places.

Bayview -- East of Southside is Bayview. Bayview is a more affluent community than Southside; it goes from waterfront property with a spectacular view of the Centery Narrows and Riverside towards the higher ground near South Bay Road, known as the Bayview Heights.

Port Regal -- Similar in many respects to North Bay, Port Regal is somewhat less affluent, many of its older homes and mansions turned into bed-and-breakfast inns. Port Regal clusters around Lake MacKenzie and the peninsulas jutting out into the bay.

Lonely Point -- The most isolated point of land in Freedom, Lonely Point is named for its rocky and desolate terrain. There are sandbars and scrub plants, but little else along the narrow peninsula. It is home to a United States Naval station.
