House Types & Requirements

Chapter 3 / 7

There are a variety of different types of houses and they also have different requirements to acquire them. For example, the inn room you get for free from the “A Friend in Need” quest, it can hold 15 furnishings, 1 trophy bust and 1 mount, pet or assistant. You can also purchase the other two rooms in the inn from the other alliances for 3000 gold. All the limits in your houses double once you have an active subscription to ESO.

  • Inn Rooms
  • Apartments
  • Small, Medium and Large Houses
  • Manors

Apartments can range from 11k-13k gold, before you can purchase any of the apartment houses, you need to have finished the “A Friend in Need” quest. In these apartments you can place 50 furnishings, 1 trophy bust and 1 mount, pet or assistant. Like before, if you have ESO Plus, these values double.

Small house prices range from 40k-70k, medium houses from 190k-335k and large houses from 760k-1295k gold. Yes, that is a lot of gold that you need to acquire ingame, especially if you are a new player. I would recommend starting slow and then work your way up there, once you are experienced enough it won't be difficult to make plenty of gold. Also, a lot of the housing furnishings are extremely expensive, especially the good looking ones, that means you have another gold sink..

  • Small Houses: 100 furnishings, 5 Trophy Busts, and 2 Mounts, Pets or Assistants
  • Medium Houses: 200 furnishings, 10 Trophy Busts, and 3 Mounts, Pets or Assistants
  • Large Houses: 300 furnishings, 20 Trophy Busts, and 4 Mounts, Pets or Assistants

All values double if you have an active ESO Plus subscription.

Manors are another extra type of houses, they are basically the luxury category. The prices of these houses range from 3775k-3785k. You will also gain an unique achievement once you unlock the manors. In the manors you can place 350 furnishings, 40 trophy busts, 5 mounts, pets or assistants. Like always, the value doubles with ESO Plus.

Unique Crown Store houses can only be obtained through the Crown Store. These houses are also considered notable houses, therefore have the same limits as manors. These houses are usually very expensive, a common price in the Crown Store is for example 15000 Crowns, that is about 150$ and no, this isn't a typo.

You can preview all of the houses before you make your final decision. When you are previewing a house, you can walk around in the house, check out all the rooms and see how big they are.
