Residences

**Residences** are a type of building in the game. Depending on the rooms in the residence, a residence may offer other benefits.

Many residences can be purchased, either as a lump-sum or with a set payment plan. Residences that have been purchased may be leased, which is a reliable income source.

## Rooms and Amenities

**Bedrooms** allow you to sleep and progress to the next day. The time you wake up and the amount of energy depend on the bed, pillow, and alarm clock you own.

**Kitchens** allow you to cook your own food using groceries. Each meal takes an hour (like a meal in a restaurant), and the benefits of a home-cooked meal depend on the cooking equipment you have purchased. If you have groceries on-hand when you go to sleep at a house with a kitchen and cooking equipment, you will wake up with extra energy.

**Offices** allow you to use the Computer.

**Nooks** allow you to make coffee with coffee beans. Each cup takes an hour (like a drink from Harambean), and the benefits of a home-made cup of coffee depend on the coffee equipment you have purchased. If you have coffee beans on-hand when you go to sleep at a house with a nook and coffee equipment, you will wake up with extra energy.

**Gyms** allow you to use gym equipment. The equipment must be purchased, but it can be used for free (as opposed to paying to use the gym).

There are some other rooms available only at very specific houses with specific interactions. They are listed under "other" in the charts below.

**Garages** allow you to own a car. Cars allow you to travel for free within a town and, in some cases, allow travel between towns.

**Helipads** allow you to own a helicopter. Helicopters provide free travel between certain towns.

**Doghouses** allow you to own either a cat or a dog. You take care of your pet by interacting with the doghouse.

## Renting Residences

Some residences can be rented for a certain amount per day. Rentable residences in Sun Villa and Golden Springs must be explicitly rented out to collect income on them, but all residences in Diamond Bay will be rented out automatically any night you don't sleep in them.

If you rent out a house you have not paid off, your rent income will be the rent rate less the daily payment. For example, if you are renting out the Big House and have not paid it off, you will gain $750 per day ($1000 in rent minus $250 in house payment).

## Sun Villa Residences

### Dad's House

Dad's House is the only residence available to you from the beginning of the game. Regardless of how many other houses you own, you can always sleep here for free.

### Apartment

The Apartment is available to you at level 5, once Area 2 in Sun Villa opens up. While likely closer to the buildings of interest to you between levels 5 and 20 and therefore provides slight time-savings to the player, there is in-game benefit to using the Apartment over Dad's House.

### Small House

The Small House is the cheapest house you can purchase. It can be found in the southeast neighborhood of Area 2 in Sun Villa, the middle house on the east side of the street.

### Big House

The Big House can be found in the southwest neighborhood in Area 2 of Sun Villa, the south house on the east side of the street. This house must be purchased to access Spooky Town, though the town is still accessible when the house is being rented out.

### Dorm

The Dorm is available to you at level 20, once Area 3 in Sun Villa opens up. While likely closer to the buildings of interest to you at level 20 and therefore provides slight time-savings to the player, there is no in-game benefit to using the Apartment over Dad's House.

### Beta Pi Rho Sorority

The Sorority is accessible to girl characters only after befriending Laura. In addition to the standard rooms, there is a Bathroom where you can gain 10 XP for putting on makeup (takes 1 hour). This is equivalent to the male characters' option to play video games for an hour at the Fraternity.

### Alpha Pi Rho Fraternity

The Fraternity is accessible to boy characters only after performing some tasks for Chad. In addition to the standard rooms, there is a TV Room where you can gain 10 XP for playing video games (takes 1 hour). This is equivalent to the female characters' option to put on makeup for an hour at the Sorority.

### Mansion

The Mansion is the cheaper purchasable residence in Area 3 of Sun Villa. It is also the cheapest house to offer a garage and gym.

It is the only Sun Villa house that does not need to be purchased to complete all quests in the game.

### Papa's Mansion

Papa's Mansion is the most expensive house in Sun Villa, and it must be purchased in a lump sum of $5M. It is the only house to include the Den and the first house to include the Helipad and Doghouse, though the helipad is useless until the corresponding house with a helicopter in Diamond Bay is purchased and the Doghouse is useless until you reach Golden Springs.

## Golden Springs Residences

### Ranch House

The Ranch House is the first house available to you in Golden Springs. As it's your family's house, you can sleep there for free, but you will eventually purchase it from Uncle in the process of befriending him.

### Suburban House

The Ranch House is the only other house available to you in Golden Springs. You can purchase it for 500K corn in one lump sum. Be warned: once you've purchased it, you cannot rent it out or sell it back due to Golden Springs' ruined economy; note that most of the neighboring houses are deserted or foreclosed-on. It does have a TV room, where you can watch a game for two hours to gain 75 XP.
