Starfieldis a massive game that allows players to become whoever they want to be. Whether you want to be a rich outlaw, or someone living a hard life in The Well (New Atlantis’s underbelly), you can do a lot.
Starfield Player Tactically Uses Physics To Steal Credits Without Being Caught
“Don’t mind me, just gonna place those credits in my bucket…”
One way you can do this is by purchasing a home in one of the many different major cities (New Atlantis, Neon, and Akila City) in the game. This allows you to make a home base in that city, customizing your character even more.
Updayed by Erin Rice on August 10, 2025:This update includes more information about each of the apartments. It also includes links to help readers better understand certain apartments.
9The Sleep Crate - Neon City
The Sleep Crate is the cheapest house in Starfield (and for good reason). It is a shipping crate that has been turned into a sleeping area for people. It is located in the Ebbside,a neighborhood of Neon.This is where the poorer population inNeonis forced to live.
This place is just a bed, bathroom, and a small area to put your things. Considering it is so small, this isn’t the best option for your character. Though it is a good place to start out. If you speak to an NPC named Izna near the Sleep Crates, she will sell you the place for 6,500 Credits.
8The Lodge Room - New Atlantis
The first sleeping area you will obtain is in The Lodge. This will contain an area for you to sleep and put your items. Thankfully, you will also have access to all the amenities The Lodge has to offer, such as the different Research Stations and storage areas.
This is the easiest place to obtain. All you need to do to get this place is join theConstellationfaction at the beginning of the game. Considering you cannot avoid joining Constellation, you will automatically obtain this room to store your stuff in. You will be sharing the entire place with the faction of Constellation, but that isn’t a big deal.
7Your Parent’s House - New Atlantis
Another free (sort of, at least) house that you may have in Starfield is yourparent’s house. However, considering this is their house, you do not actually own it. The house is inNew Atlantisand has a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms (one of which is yours).
This house can only be obtained by players who have parents. You can get parents by accepting the Kid’s StuffTraitat the beginning of the game. If you do this, you have access to this home, a spaceship, and some cool items. However, you have to send your parents 2% of your Credits each week.
6The Well Apartment - New Atlantis
The Well Apartment is located withinThe Well in New Atlantis. Much like the Sleep Crate in Neon, The Well Apartment is in the poorer area of town and is how the working class is often forced to live in the city. While the place is small, it does have everything you would need in a home.
Starfield: How To Get Credits Fast
The main currency in Starfield is called Credits. Here’s how you can get them quickly.
In order to purchase this home, you will first need to be a UC citizen. This can happen by doing theUC Vanguard questsor by picking the UC Native Trait. Once that is out of the way, head to Zora Sangweni and pay 30,000 Credits for this apartment.
5The Sky Suite - Neon City
The Sky Suite is the most expensive place you can buy, and is, ironically, one of the smallest. While it has a great view, the apartment itself is tiny. There is a kitchen, a bathroom, a single room, and a balcony. While this is minuscule, it does have everything you need.
If you want to purchase this apartment, you will need to pay 250,000 Credits. If you want to spend that kind of money, you may speak to Boone, the bartender in the Astral Lounge. Once you have purchased the apartment from him, you can do whatever you’d like with it.
4The Stretch Apartment - Akila City
The Stretch Apartment is an apartment in Akila City. This apartment is really just one large room, however, there are dividers set up around the place. This means that, while it is one room, the dividers turn it into a multi-room apartment.
If you want to purchase this apartment, you’re in luck. Unlike some, this apartment doesn’t require anything special. You just need to speak to Ngodup Tate and give him 45,000 Credits. If you need to find him, he is near the Core Manor, another place you’re able to purchase.
3The Core Manor - Akila City
The Core Manor is a giant manor that is located in The Core, a part ofAkila City. This is a manor that has quite a bit of history, being one of the first homes built in the settlement. It has a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, and outside area.
If you want to purchase this home, you will also need to speak to Ngodup Tate in Akila City. Thankfully, he is directly outside this home, meaning he is super easy to find. He will give you the house for 75,000 Credits.
2The Mercury Tower Penthouse - New Atlantis
The Mercury Tower Penthouse is the best home that you can purchase for yourself (unless you have a specific Trait). This is one of the many places you can find yourself living while in New Atlantis, and it is massive. It has plenty of room for everything you could ever need.
to obtain this place, you will have to complete the UC Vanguard questline. This is a long quest, but, the end means you will get this place in New Atlantis for free. Since this is the best place, by far, it is certainly worth the hassle.
1The Dream Home - Planet of Nesoi
The best home for your character is theDream Home. The only problem with this is that you can only have this home if you selected the Dream Home Trait while creating your character. This house is full of rooms, storage, and amenities.
If you pick up this Trait, you will need to pay a 125,000 Credit mortgage to Galbank in order to own this property. However, considering the price of other places, this is a nice price tag for such an amazing place.
