Housing: Availability by City

All houses have some things in common, like basic windows to match each city. All houses match the style of the zone they are located in. The info below is intended to point out features unique to certain floor plans and to describe each version when more than one is available. Because balconies (or the lack thereof) is in the table, they are not mentioned here at all.
Qeynos

• ALL large houses: floorplans are the same, all balconies overlook mage tower (regardless of address), have an attic skylight, have a secret room (not included in room counts)
• House Versions are abbreviated as v1, v2, v3 and indicate slight differences in floor plans. They also differ for houses with an actual street address (like Lucie St.) but reffer to the same version for any home inside Lion's Mane, Fish's Ale House and Inn, and Irontoe East.
  

Medium Houses with Street Addresses

v2: stairs ahead, balcony on right, alcove left

v1: balcony ahead, stairs to left, alcove on right

v3: stairs ahead, balcony left, alcove right

Medium Houses Inside a Lion's Mane, etc.

v1: 2 rooms in a row, hearth on inner wall 1st room, one to the right (triple bay)

v2: 2 rooms in a row, hearth by door ist room, (2nd with triple bay), one left

• Small inn rooms Lion's Mane are all the same and features: a simple window bay, small built in bookshelves. These are Vestige Rooms that represent houses moved from the suburbs after major changes to Qeynos that retired them as housing locations. The new locations are only listed here by the landing and door for the sake of history. Having a house in these small houses will not grant you any access to the old zones, since they are only used for quests now.

New Halas

• Large houses all have the same floorplan and medium homes all have the same floorplan.
• Small homes in this zone say "One Room" when zoning in, but the second room is quite large, rather like a loft, on a second floor. For that reason, it's listed as having 2 rooms here. is actually 2 if you count the upper level, loft style room. Has a cubby hole under the stairs, built in fireplace, bay window
• All Medium houses have: a cubby hole (similar to a closet without a door) under stairs and bay window in the main room, the room on the right has deep, built-in shelves, a built in fireplace upstairs.
• All Large houses are the same as 3 rooms houses, but room with the built-in is on the left, in addition to the bay window (1st floor) 1 big window is in an upper level room, 2 build-in fireplaces are in the upper level rooms

Kelethin

• Large houses all have the same floorplan
• Medium homes all have the same floorplan, with one exception: one location has only 3 rooms and they are all "stacked" on top of each other. Most medium homes have two upper floors accessed by curved ramps.
• There is only one small house in this zone and the door is in a giant tree trunk. The merchant who sells house items Inkeeper Twiggy and gives the quest First Time Buyer (Kelethin) is a treant under a leaf "umbrella" of sorts, making Twiggy (and the quest "feather" icon) easy to miss.

A general tip for finding housing in this zone: the vast majority are located near the Far Residential city teleportation pad , rather than the Near Residential city teleportation pad. Only one player house is close to Near Residential.

All houses have some things in common, like basic windows to match each city. All houses match the style of the zone they are located in. The info below is intended to point out features unique to certain floorplans and to describe each version when more than one is available. Because info on balconies (or the lack thereof) is in the table, they are not described in detail.
Freeport

• ALL large houses have the following in common: all balconies overlook the city and sea by North Freeport (regardless of address), have a very small area open to the sky (a tiny patio) in addition to the balcony (not included in the room count), and have a secret room (not included in room count). The reason they are listed with a half room (.5) is the large platform is actually as large as some rooms (but lacks walls), and it's at the top of the first flight of stairs going up, situated between rooms; it's not technically a room by some standards, but it is frequently treated as one by decorators.
• House Versions are abbreviated as v1, v2 and indicate slight differences in floor plans.

v1 tiny patio and basement stairs to the right, off of the 2nd room. Stairs to upper levels in the back.

v2 stairs to the left (first room), tiny patio and basement stairs to the left, off of the second room.

Medium Houses

• Because the Blood Haze Inn was removed during the major update to Freeport , all rooms once located there were all moved to the Jade Tiger's Den.

• House Versions are abbreviated as v1, v2 and indicate slight differences in floor plans. They also differ for houses with an actual street address (like Freedom Rd.) but refer to the same version for any home inside Jade Tiger's Den
  

Medium Houses inside Jade Tiger's

v1: one room straight ahead on entry, one to the right, one to the left with a ledge-like area that looks a bit like a built-in planter.

v2: the entry-point room is extremely angled. From there, two rooms straight back. Furthest (back) room with the same ledge-like area as v1, one to the right

v3: none

• The Seafarer's Roost has only one house and it is the version 2, the same as those listed above.

Medium Houses with a street address

v1: a sharp turn from the entryway, 1 (door-less) doorway straight back on the left, 1 (door-less) doorway on the right with the option to turn right into a room, or left to go upstairs (the the walled garden)

v2: a sharp turn from the entryway into the 1st room, 1 (door-less) doorway straight back on the right, 1 (door-less) doorway on the left with the option to turn left into a room, or right to go upstairs (the the walled garden)

v3 It's a mystery why this exists as a version, because it's identical to v1 in every way. It's remains in the table to avoid confusion when people zone into it.

• Small inn rooms in Jade Tiger's Den are all the same and feature a low-to-the-ground alcove of sorts.

These are inn rooms represent houses moved from the "suburbs" (or "slums") after major changes to Freeport , that retired them as housing locations. Unlike Qeynos (which has it's suburbs moved later) they do not have names to pay homage to their former locations. This is due in part to the fact that all must now be entered at one single door (Qeynos had space for separate doors).

• If you own a home at this door and click on it, a list opens with all of the new room numbers; the room you own will be offset with an asterisk, but you can find it at any time away from the door by pressing C to open your character window and finding it in the Housing Tab, listed as Jade Tiger's Den Inn Room.

Gorowyn

• Large all have the same floorplan. From main room entrance, 1 room to the left that leads to the balcony, 1 room that leads to stairs to basement and to upper room. All balconies overlook the sea below and have a gazebo on them.
• Medium homes all have the same floorplan. From the main room at the entrance: one room straight ahead, one to the left, and one to the right.
• All Small houses have the same floorplan.

Neriak

• Large houses all have the same floorplan and medium homes all have the same floorplan. All Large houses have 2 stair cases that lead to 2 rooms to the upper 2 rooms, 1 room straight ahead and to the left of the main room and 1 to the right that leads to the basement. All balconies overlook Darklight Palace .

All houses have some things in common, like basic windows to match each city. All houses match the style of the zone they are located in.

In Maj'dul, the housing features pale textured walls and tiled floors, like those seen around the city. Bright blue punctuates the design on built-in bookshelves in every house. All doors and windows have fine, ornate detailing and scroll-work, reminiscent of artwork often associated with Middle-Eastern nations and cultures in the real-world.

• Unlike other zones, which still may have a version number when you zone in, these now show the generic name of the house. Game updates added rooms to all of the houses in 2010 and (likely) rendered all differences moot when it comes to small and medium houses, which may be the reason the version titles vanished.

The only time you'll see different layouts is in the large houses. Describing the floorplans is difficult, because of both the shape and lack of major feature differences relative to all other housing zones on this page. The single, most impactful difference is the location of the balcony.

• In the Affluent version it is situated off of a room near the front entrance and at the back in the other large house.

Both balconies overlook the city in the direction of the Tower of the Moon , despite their different locations.

In order to get to the door of the Mercenary Apartment, you must climb the wall list at the location in the table below. From there you must cross a roof, walk across a board, and travel over another rooftop. It can be tricky to get there, but it certainly suits the name of the residence!
