Harbor Shipyards is located ten blocks north of Corona Tower. 

The Shipyards doesn't directly abut Bay City proper. The marshy tidal basin known in Bay City as The Marshes (or the floodlands) separates Bay City and Harbor Shipyards.

To better describe the relationship between the two, the Bay City shorefront (and The Docks) stretches along the northwest boundary of Bay City. Shorefront Drive runs from Cassel Dunes in the west along the shore and ends in the marshy floodlands to Bay City's northeast at the gates to Harbor Shipyards. Harbor Shipyards extends north of the floodlands and is built on a massive rock ledge. Over the years, the facility has expanded over the water, providing natural wet and dry dock opportunities perfect for one of the largest shipyards on the West Coast.

Harbor Shipyards is a city of sorts unto itself, with city-center warehouses, skyscrapers of overhead cranes, and housing suburbs for workers. The waterfront, on-site medical facilities, and the Shipyards Cafeteria (open to the public) round out the city vibe.

From Bay City at night, the lights of the working shipyard reflect off the bay and create a magical effect. From Cassel Dunes, the Shipyards becomes romantic, the lights twinkling like an American Venice on a star-studded night.

 We first learn of Harbor Shipyards in Book 1 of The Human-Hybrid Project, Shattered by Glass.

Pill Hill is the residential area just south of Corona Tower.

The original Bay City Medical Complex was where Corona Tower now sits. In the Forties, Pill Hill's gently rolling terrain—within easy walking distance of the old hospital—became prime real estate for the high-paid medical profession who were often on call for medical emergencies. "I'll be there in five," were gratifying words for the critically ill.

Today, the area is filled with architecturally significant homes, most which have been renovated many times. The bones have been kept both because they were originally good and because the Bay City Historical Commission oversees every detail of every renovation.

Pill Hill is a colloquial nickname, of course, although the term has found its way onto city maps. Pill Hill's official name is Stanners Ridge. It was named for the family that built Stanners Tower and lived in the penthouse for many years.

Each Christmas, Pill Hill's homeowner's organization lights the trees and sidewalks. Pill Hill glows like a birthday cake with too many candles, and drive-thru tours make the most of every light.

We first find mention of Pill Hill in Book 6 of The Human-Hybrid Project, Taking the Tower.

Overlook Estates abuts the back side of Corona Tower just across Stamford Drive.

Overlook Estates is an upscale residential development of streets and cul-de-sacs filled with trees and landscaped shrubbery. If you live in Overlook Estates, you likely have a gardening service visit your house weekly in summer, though less often in the winter.

Overlook Estates was named for the view past Scenic Drive to the north. The Marshes, a saltwater flood plain that separates Bay City from Harbor Shipyards, is filled with marshy grasses and wildlife year round and is renowned for its birding opportunities. No streets in Overlook Estates open to Scenic Drive, but cars along Scenic can see the houses back toward town like jewels buried in the trees, especially at night, when uplights in the trees make the neighborhood magical.

Overlook Estates might be upscale, but it is also comfortable and restrained. Most residences are partially hidden by trees and landscaping. Even from the upper floors of the Tower, few of the houses can be clearly seen except when the trees lose their leaves in winter.

Overlook Estates is for money that doesn't need to show off. Only the deepest of pockets live in Overlook.

We are introduced to Overlook Estates in Book 3 of The Human-Hybrid Project, The Mirror Cracks.
