Everyone wants to get on the property ladder, and Starfield is no different, causing many to wonder how to buy, or even build a house in the game.

Starfield is a massive RPG that allows players to explore the deepest reaches of space. It stands to reason you're going to accumulate a lot of stuff so a house may be a good place to settle, especially if you're planning on marriage in the game. To get yourself prepared, give our infinite money glitch a read.

Here is all you need to know about buying and building a house in Starfield.

How can you buy a house in Starfield?

In the table below, we have listed all the different houses you can buy in the game, where they are, and how you can buy them. There are a few different ways you can acquire a home in the game, and naturally, they are found in a variety of different locations:

House	Location	How to acquire	Description
Nesoi Dream Home	Nesoi	By having the "Dream Home" trait and 125,000 credits	One of the largest homes in the game on its own planet. It's so big, Mum and Dad can move in
Parents House	New Atlantis	This is completely free and only acquired by having the "Kid Stuff" trait	A nice apartment in New Atlantis, but you can only customize your room because it's not your home
The Lodge Room	New Atlantis	After completing a few missions for the Constellation, chat to Noelle about getting a room	Small room, but still offers some storage space. One of the few homes you can fast travel to directly
Sleep Crate	Neon	6,500 Credits	Very small place, mainly for sleeping in but you can still customise the house and store some items here
The Well apartment	The Well in New Atlantis	30,000 Credits	Once you become a citizen of the United Colonies you can purchase this simple, but well-located apartment
Stretch house	Akila City	Bought from Ngodup Tate for 45,000 Credits	One large room with a series of dividers to break up the space
Core Manor	Akila City	Bought from Ngodup Tate for 78,000 Credits	Akila City's nicest property on offer to the players
Sky Suite	Neon	235,000 Credits	The most expensive home on offer to players despite being another one-room apartment. It's all about the location, here
Mercury Tower Penthouse	New Atlantis	Reward for becoming a Class One Citizen	By far the nicest and most spacious home in the game that you can earn and it is free

Can you build bases?

You can also build bases in Starfield, which are called outposts. These can be built nearly anywhere on any of the game's planets or moons, and require you to collect resources.

Outposts are modular, so you can attach different rooms and sections to each other, slowly building your outpost out. On top of living in them, you can use outposts to collect specific resources, and even staff them with companions or crew to get extra bonuses from them.

There are different resources you can gain depending on the planet you place the base on, so choose wisely.
