La Puerta is a small area located in southern Los Santos, San Andreas. It is bordered by the Los Santos International Airport in the south, Vespucci on the west, Davis to the east, and Little Seoul to the north. La Puerta is also home to the famous Maze Bank Arena.
Character
La Puerta was primarily an industrial area, characterised by run-down buildings and stores. There are several warehouses located towards the northern side of La Puerta; these warehouses serve little function anymore and are just a centre for gang activity. The southern end of La Puerta is much more crowded because of the presence of the Maze Bank Arena and the highways that lead to the city airport.
Due to its position, drivers going out of the Los Santos International Airport grounds will pass through La Puerta first before venturing to the rest of the city.
Influence
La Puerta is mostly based on San Pedro, the port district of Los Angeles. However, the area also contains the Maze Bank Arena whose real life equivalent is located in Inglewood of South Los Angeles. In game, La Puerta is adjacent to the separate area of Port of Los Santos, which in real life is incorporated into San Pedro.

Trivia
- La Puerta means "The Door" in Spanish. It can also mean "Gate".
- Rockstar Games originally planned to name this neighborhood "Los Puerta", which is incorrect Spanish. "Puerta" is singular and feminine, while the article "los" is for plural and masculine names.
- When telling the Taxi Driver to drive him here, Trevor will occasionally sarcastically pronounce it "La Pooeta".
