Hunts Point (also named "Hunt's Point") is a neighborhood in Bronx appearing as a primary location in Driver: Parallel Lines.
Description
The neighborhood is one of the first areas where the player visits, and the first to be settled and featured in the first mission.
The southern area of Hunts Point is filled with warehouses and small businesses, with little residence present. It's filled with many small backstreets and rundown businesses.
Northern edge of Hunts Point, with the Hunts Point Circuit in view.
The northern fringe is surrounded by woodlands and embankments, just behind the race course are large hills and trees. Hunts Point is home to one of Ray's garages, Ray's Autos, Hunts Point. The area is bordered by a steep cliff on the coast of the East River, looking out towards Queens and Manhattan. The location is relatively high up from sea level compared to other neighborhoods, where the mouth of the river comes in from the north-eastern quarter, and two of the neighborhoods bridges cross it. A Token can be collected when jumping between these bridges, parallel to their stretch.
Mission Appearances

TK and Ray pursue the fleeing hitmen in a brief chase through Hunts Point before driving to their original destination.
- In a post-mission cutscene after the missions Candy, Slink and Bishop, TK arrives back at Ray's Autos to find Corrigan and Ray talking.

Trivia
- The neighborhood is commonly misspelled "Hunt's Point" (apostrophe), despite the real life counterpart missing the apostrophe. This is commonly seen in subtitles, pre-mission objectives and on the map.
- In the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of Driver: Parallel Lines, during the 2006 era, there's a dumpster located next to the warehouse of TK's former allies, which has copies of DRIV3R, another title in the Driver series which came out two years before Parallel Lines, inside of it, poking fun at DRIV3R's poor sales and reception.
