A number of months ago I created a playlist with five jobs that all take place in Mirror Park. It's called "A Walk in Mirror Park." Heh.

 

http://bit.ly/1lbrywG

 

I'm also working on a Deathmatch that covers the whole neighborhood, it's almost complete.

Mirror Park is a truly wonderful place...

I can't say I've really explored Mirror Park that much. I didn't even know what you guys were talking about at first.

 

I personally enjoy the rich neighborhood near the golf course. Lots of gates and garages that you can use to hide in and the houses are cool to look at.

Since we're talking about Mirror Park, there's a new song confirmed for Radio Mirror Park that pretty much fits the neighborhood: Dom - Living In America

My only small issue with Mirror Park is the lack of stop signs at the intersections. You can see the "stop" marker on the road, but no signs to go along with it. Which kind of gives off the impression that they didn't give quite as much attention to this area compared to other parts of the map (by comparison, Rockford Hills has many stop signs). I know this is a very minor issue, but small details like this add to the immersion for me. Perhaps this is something they were able to improve upon in the new gen version.

 

Other than that, I agree this is a nice underrated section of the city.

Holy sh*t, nice find. Your eyes are better than mine.

Love cruising around in this neighbourhood in a SUV or just some American vehicle. It really gives the feel that you're in a suburb..

Too bad that they didn't gave Mirror Park much attention in both Single and Multiplayer.

I'd pick one of the houses from where I re-created this shot from Back to the Future.

It's one of the two newly constructed cul-de-sacs on the east side.

Mirror Park is pretty cool, I love doing photo shoots there (of course with cars):

The atmosphere compared to the rest of Los Santos is almost as unique as Westdyke's atmosphere compared to Algonquin. It's so distant and just plain awesome.

 

My only beef with it? I wish there were more suburbs to the west of it. Southern California has so many.

I think I'd be the only one who would actually live in the park as a hobo

If Mirror Park was based on Echo Park, it was a way to clean, white suburbs adaptation, but I guess they got it right with the transvestites spawn. It needed more Hispanics and maybe a gang spawn point around (The MG's in the sewer don't count)

I haven't played it all summer, are those cul de sacs the ones that were flat construction sites when the game launched?!

You know the thing, and that's what's so great about GTA V. You can make your "own world" within a quite small area. I mean Mirror Park isn't big, but I mean. Just go for a breeze walk and suddenly it feels big, you know what I mean? Just exploring Mirror Park at Macro level. Enjoy all the little things you didn't notice when you speeded thru.

 

Just take note of the different kinda properties and streets, enjoy the nature of the lake, go fill up your car at the gas station, after that buy a snickers in the shop. Go park your car with your favourite radiostation and watch the sun go down with downtown LS reflecting in the lake of Mirror Park.

 

Getting in the mood? You see, now, a very small area can also be very big. It just depends on the way how you take note of things, how you appreciate things.

They are in the same state as they were on launch. It must be one development being "built" (in the fictional game world) in two phases. The northern one, Nikola Place, is full of houses that all look alike. The other, Utopia Gardens, is still under construction.

I recently read an article on Kotaku (or was it CVG's video?) about how the new first-person view has an unexpected effect of making the game world seem much bigger, especially when on foot. It makes one appreciate more of the details, and how long it takes to get from one area to another.

I think it would be fun to drive a Bus in Mirror Park

Such a nice house on West Mirror Drive

I personally would like to vive in a more Suburbian style house (in gta online, not in real life ofcourse)

This would be my ideal house that i would like to be able to purchase in GTA Online in Mirror Park area.

There is even a car repair shop. Getting my Zion fixed in there.

I like to often dress up Trevor as a Silver Lake hipster and have him ride around Mirror Park on a Fixter. It fits naturally and smoothly.

I'm hoping a update allows us to purchase a house there, it's very under-used much like Paleto.

I made a short film based in Mirror Park, because I liked the suburban homes. I tried to use Rockford Hills, but there was really nowhere that had a real sense of neighbourliness.

i love mirror park too. it is very unique. i like to roleplay there sometimes. just driving around pretending to live there. or walk in the park. i do wish it was used more in the story or you could buy a house there. i hope that in gta next we get more places like this and bigger.
