Tea Hill
During the colonial times there were attempts to create tea plantation here, but it was ultimately unsuccessful. This elongated, steep hill is soaring over Mira. Top of the hill is very densely built up, while its foot and Mira bank are drowning in suburbs. Like Juniper, Tea Hill is in a weird grey area between Aerbright and Redridge - depends on the person you're talking to.
Because of the narrow streets and very tall residential buildings all around, ground level is downright claustrophobic. The higher you live, the more sunlight you get, but it's not given - even 40 floors up your window may well be looking at your neighbor's terrace. If you are lucky though, you get an amazing view - Rockies, glittering ribbon of Mira, yellow-green of Monument Island and Aerbright in perpetual haze. Or, on the other side, you can see all of Redridge all the way to Claw Rock.
Living in the lower, suburban part is completely different - there are few public transport links or schools, which is why people tend to move here if they have retirement money.
