The following is a list of locations in the video game franchise Silent Hill.

[edit] Silent Hill

The eponymous name of the main location in all 4 Silent Hill games. A small town, its location remains unknown (in the film its placed in West Virginia) founded in the late 18th or early 19th Century by a group of settlers making it a penal colony. The most noticeable group in Silent Hill is a corrupted version of Gnostic Christianity known simply as The Order. This cult has been divided into three different sects (although still connected) with the time. The Valtiel sect, the Holy Mother sect and the Saint Ladies sect.

Paleville – Identified in 'Silent Hill 2' as being the northern half of the town, the counterpart to South Vale. Contains Old Silent Hill, Central Silent Hill, and the resort area.

Old Silent Hill – Primarily residential area, usually ignored by people on vacation.

Cafe 5to2 - A small diner located on the North side of town. Harry wakes up here, and meets Cybil, in the beginning of the game.
8 - A general store in the north of Old Silent Hill.
Midwich Elementary School - A school located on the south-west side of town. Both Lisa Garland and Alessa Gillespie were students there.
Balkan Church – A legitimate church, possibly Protestant, in Old Silent Hill. Virtually ignored by members of The Order even though Dahlia is seen there. Henry has a photograph of the church in his bedroom.

Central Silent Hill – Business district made primarily for the use of tourists.

Silent Hill Police Station – The headquarters of the Silent Hill police force and their (ineffective) war on Order-related drug trafficking.
Silent Hill Town Center – A shopping mall located in the northwestern section of Central Silent Hill. Dahlia Gillespie’s antique store (and secret chapel) is next door to the mall.
Alchemilla Hospital – A hospital located in Central Silent Hill. The hospital serves as a front for the production and distribution of White Claudia. Alessa was once a patient there. The workplace of both Lisa and Kaufman.
Nathan Drugs - The Local Drug Store seen in Silent Hill 1 and Silent Hill (film)
Green Lion Antiques/"Other Church" - Dahlia's business/base of operations for The Order.

Silent Hill (resort area) – The tourist destination on the north side of Toluca Lake.

The Lighthouse – The lighthouse on Toluca Lake, one of the town’s oldest structures.
Lakeside Amusement Park – A theme park overlooking the lake.
Indian Runner - A general store owned by a member of the local drug syndacite who knows Kaufman.
Norman Motel – A motel on the north shore of Toluca Lake. Kaufman lives there.

South Vale – The mainly residential, non-tourist destination town on the south side of Toluca Lake. Seems to be part of Silent Hill, and may just be another section, not another town. (Not confirmed) However, in Silent Hill 2, Angela states to James that from the graveyard, it's hard to miss Silent Hill because there is only one road into it from their location, which leads directly to the South Vale, indicating that it is, most likely, a region of Silent Hill.

Observation Deck – A scenic overlook along County Road 73 adjacent to a wooded hiking path.
Woodside Apartments – An apartment complex built just next to the Blue Creek Apartments.
Blue Creek Apartments – A small apartment building. Angela's mother may have lived there.
Rosewater Park – A park on the south shore of Toluca Lake. Contains a memorial to the people lost in the 1918 disappearance of the Little Baroness.
Heaven’s Night – A gentleman’s club enjoying moderate fame in South Vale. It is hinted that Maria works here, and Silent Hill 3 references the 'return of Lady Maria' to the stage.
Brookhaven Hospital – A hospital/mental institution in South Vale. Originally founded in the 1860s as a Civil War field hospital and in response to a mysterious disease which plagued the town.
Silent Hill Historical Society – A historical museum on the edge of South Vale.
Toluca Prison – A now-defunct prison originally used to house Civil War POWs. Exact location is not stated in the games, however it appears to be located beneath the Historical Society building. Possibly the building was built over the site of the unused prison. Though this may just be caused by James' delusions, it is highly likely based on where James exits the Labyrinth that connects to it.
Jack's Inn – A small motel located just South of Rosewater park. Douglas and Heather rest in a room here before they split up. James finds a save point on a car here, but nothing else.

Toluca Lake – The lake, surrounded by forests, upon which the town of Silent Hill was founded.

Wish House (A.K.A. Hope House) – A secluded, Order-run orphanage in the woods outside of Silent Hill.
The Water Prison (A.K.A. Cylinder Prison, A.K.A. Panopticon) – A jail used by The Order to punish and brainwash the children living in the Wish House. While a stay there was used as a form of punishment, most of the children's stays were scheduled. Most likely situated within a mile or two of Wish House.

[edit] Other Towns

Heather's town (Portland) – The town to which Harry and Heather moved in the witness protection program (though the name of "Portland" is rather ambiguous and is never specified to be in one particular state.) At least a few hours' drive from Silent Hill, possibly farther; Douglas states that it would be too far to walk. Harry and Heather live here for twelve years prior to the events in Silent Hill 3.

Central Square Shopping Center – A sleek, modern shopping center.
Hazel Street Station – A subway station underneath the Central Square Shopping Center.
Hilltop Center – An office building half a block down the street from Daisy Villa Apartments.
Daisy Villa Apartments – Harry and Heather’s home on Bergen Street.

Ashfield – A busy town half a day’s drive from Silent Hill.

South Ashfield Heights Apartments – An apartment building. Home to Henry and Eileen and the birthplace of Walter Sullivan.
South Ashfield Station – A subway station which presumably connects (Either directly or indirectly) to Silent Hill.
The Building – A tall building housing multiple businesses and apartments across the street from South Ashfield Heights.
St. Jerome’s Hospital – A hospital in Ashfield. Eileen Galvin was a patient here.

Paleville – A town along County Road 26 on the west side of Toluca Lake. (Not featured in the games)

Brahms (alternately spelled Brahams in the film adaptation) – A town neighboring Silent Hill. Cybil Bennett lives and works there. (Featured in the movie, but only mentioned the games)

Pleasant River - A town that seems located northeast of Silent Hill. Walter Sullivan made his studies in the university of Pleasant River along with Bobby Randolph, Sein Martin and Jasper Gein. (Not featured in the games)

Portland - Presumably the town where Harry Mason lives prior to, and for somewhere around five years after, the events in the original Silent Hill. Harry and Heather live here until they are found and attacked by a cult member. They then move to a nameless town which serves as the setting for the first half of Silent Hill 3.
