Apartments, in Short
GTA Online apartments are sold by Dynasty 8 Real Estate in three tiers: low-end homes from GTA$80,000 with a 2-car garage, medium apartments from GTA$125,000 with a 6-car garage, and high-end apartments from GTA$200,000 with a 10-car garage and the heist planning room. Everything above that — Eclipse Towers penthouses up to GTA$1,100,000, and the Vinewood Hills stilt houses — buys location and looks, not extra function.
That single fact drives every sensible buying decision in this guide. A high-end apartment at the floor price does everything a high-end apartment can do, so the first purchase almost always should be the cheapest one: Del Perro Heights, Apartment 7, at GTA$200,000.
Apartments were the game's first property type, on sale since 2013, and they remain the foundation purchase — a spawn point, a wardrobe, a garage and, in the high-end tier, the room the original heists are planned from.
Key Takeaways
- Dynasty 8 sells three apartment tiers: low-end (GTA$80,000–121,000, 2-car garage), medium (GTA$125,000–175,000, 6-car garage) and high-end (GTA$200,000–400,000, 10-car garage plus heist planning room).
- The cheapest high-end apartment, Del Perro Heights Apartment 7 at GTA$200,000, is functionally identical for heists and storage to one costing five times as much.
- The most expensive apartment is Eclipse Towers Penthouse Suite 3 at GTA$1,100,000; the custom penthouses offer eight interior styles, and stilt houses run from roughly GTA$449,000 to GTA$800,000.
- You can own up to 10 apartments and standalone garages combined; apartments cannot be sold outright, only traded in when buying a replacement.
- Apartments earn no money. They are infrastructure — spawn point, wardrobe, garage and planning room — and businesses are where income lives.
1. The Three Tiers on Dynasty 8
You buy through the Dynasty 8 Real Estate website on your in-game phone, or by walking up to a For Sale sign outside a listed building. The catalogue is organised into the three tiers, and the differences between them are concrete rather than cosmetic.
Low-end apartments cost GTA$80,000 to GTA$121,000 and pair a small, basic interior with a 2-car garage. Medium apartments run GTA$125,000 to GTA$175,000, with a cleaner one-level interior and a 6-car garage. High-end apartments start at GTA$200,000 and top out around GTA$400,000 in the standard listings: two-level interiors, a 10-car garage, and the feature that justifies the tier on its own — the planning room covered in the next part.
Above the standard tiers sit two luxury branches. The stilt houses in the Vinewood Hills, added with Executives and Other Criminals, are high-end homes with the same 10-car garage and planning room, priced roughly between GTA$449,000 and GTA$800,000 for the view. The three Eclipse Towers penthouse suites are custom apartments with a choice of eight interior styles, at GTA$905,000, GTA$985,000 and GTA$1,100,000. Prices here are list prices at the time of writing; weekly event discounts regularly cut property prices, so check Dynasty 8 before buying.
2. What You Actually Get: The Planning Room and the Rest
Every apartment, at any price, gives you the same basics: a spawn point you can set as your entry to each session, a wardrobe for changing and saving outfits, a bed, a television that can spectate other players in your session, and its garage — with the mechanic delivering your stored cars wherever you are. Friends can be buzzed in, and the apartment doubles as a safe social space between jobs.
The high-end tier adds the one functional extra in the entire apartment system. Its small office was converted into a heist planning room by the Heists update, and it is where the five original heists — The Fleeca Job, Prison Break, The Humane Labs Raid, Series A Funding and The Pacific Standard Job — are hosted from. Hosting them also requires Rank 12; once Lester calls, the board in that room is the launch point. The payouts those finales carry are listed in our GTA Online heist payouts reference.
Note what is not on the list: income. No apartment pays rent, fills a safe or produces stock. Apartments are the home base layer of your account, and the earning layer sits elsewhere — a distinction that shapes the buying advice below.
3. Locations: What the Neighbourhood Changes
Because function is fixed within a tier, location is the real variable. The high-end buildings cluster in the city's west and centre: Del Perro Heights overlooks the beach district in Del Perro, Eclipse Towers and Weazel Plaza sit in Rockford Hills, Tinsel Towers stands in West Vinewood, and 3 Alta Street and 4 Integrity Way put you downtown in Pillbox Hill. The low-end and medium stock spreads wider — Del Perro, Vespucci, Morningwood, Little Seoul, Hawick, Downtown Vinewood and beyond.
In practice, location decides how much driving your session starts with. A Del Perro or downtown apartment puts Ammu-Nation, mod shops and mission markers within a short drive in every direction, which is why the community's value pick has always been a west-side or central building rather than the prettiest address.
The stilt houses trade that convenience for altitude. They sit up in the Vinewood Hills with the best views in the game and a longer drive to everything else — a purchase you make because you want the house, and one the game prices accordingly.
4. Which Apartment to Buy
For a first purchase, the answer is the floor of the high-end tier: Del Perro Heights, Apartment 7, at GTA$200,000. It carries the full package — 10-car garage, planning room, a useful west-side location — at the lowest price any high-end apartment sells for. Its neighbours in the same building, such as Apartment 20 at GTA$205,000, differ only in layout and view. New players weighing it against other early spending can see where it sits in the bigger picture in our GTA Online Beginner Guide.
Buy a second apartment for garage space or for a second spawn point in another part of the map, not for features — there are no new features to unlock. The Eclipse Towers penthouses and the stilt houses are endgame purchases, bought with money your businesses have already made, for the interior styles and the address.
Skip the low-end tier unless you only need a cheap spawn point and 2-car storage near a specific spot. The jump from a GTA$121,000 low-end to the GTA$200,000 high-end floor buys four times the garage and the entire original heist ladder; it is the best-value step on the property ladder.
5. Ownership Limits, Trade-Ins and Standalone Garages
You can own up to 10 properties across apartments and standalone garages combined. That cap has grown with the game — it began at a single property in 2013 and was raised update by update, reaching 10 with The Criminal Enterprises in 2022. Business properties, offices and the rest are counted separately, and the 50-car Eclipse Boulevard Garage, at GTA$2,740,000, sits outside the cap entirely.
Apartments cannot be sold for cash. The only exit is the trade-in: when you buy a new Dynasty 8 property, you can put one of your existing properties into the deal and have its value credited against the purchase. At the 10-property cap a trade-in is mandatory — every new apartment or garage replaces one you own.
Standalone garages share the same slots and the same tier logic, without the home attached: 2-car garages from around GTA$25,000, 6-car garages in the GTA$62,500–80,000 range and 10-car garages between roughly GTA$105,000 and GTA$150,000. They are the cheap way to add pure vehicle storage once your apartment garages fill up.
6. Apartments and the Rest of the Ladder
An apartment is the start of the property ladder, not the ladder itself. The rungs above it do different jobs: the CEO office and MC clubhouse unlock the organisation work described in our guide to how to register as an MC President or CEO in GTA Online, and the businesses ranked in Best Businesses in GTA Online are where property starts paying you back.
At the very top, the ladder's luxury end changed in December 2025, when full mansions arrived as a category above apartments — bigger, far more expensive, and covered in our GTA Online mansions guide. They do not replace the apartment's job, though. Even a mansion owner still uses the planning room in a high-end apartment for the original heists, which is why the GTA$200,000 Del Perro Heights buy stays on every account forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest apartment in GTA Online?
The cheapest apartments on Dynasty 8 are low-end homes at GTA$80,000, with a small interior and a 2-car garage. Prices are list prices at the time of writing and are regularly discounted in event weeks.
What is the cheapest high-end apartment?
Del Perro Heights, Apartment 7, at GTA$200,000. It includes the 10-car garage and the heist planning room, exactly like every other high-end apartment, which makes it the standard first buy.
How many apartments can you own in GTA Online?
Up to 10 properties shared between apartments and standalone garages. Business properties, the CEO office and similar holdings are counted separately, and the Eclipse Boulevard Garage does not use one of the 10 slots.
Can you sell an apartment in GTA Online?
No. Apartments and garages cannot be sold for cash. When buying a new Dynasty 8 property you can trade in one of your existing properties and have its value credited against the purchase — and at the 10-property cap, a trade-in is required.
What is the heist planning room?
A room inside every high-end apartment where the five original heists are planned and launched. Hosting them also requires Rank 12. Later heists use their own properties instead — an Arcade for the Casino heist, a submarine for Cayo Perico, and so on.
What is the most expensive apartment in GTA Online?
Eclipse Towers, Penthouse Suite 3, at GTA$1,100,000. The three Eclipse penthouse suites are custom apartments with a choice of eight interior styles; Suites 1 and 2 cost GTA$985,000 and GTA$905,000.
Do apartments make money in GTA Online?
No. Apartments provide a spawn point, a wardrobe, a garage and — in the high-end tier — the heist planning room, but they generate no income. Money comes from businesses, heists and other activities, not from homes.
Is a stilt house different from an apartment?
Functionally, no: the Vinewood Hills stilt houses are high-end homes with the same 10-car garage and planning room, and they count toward the same 10-property cap. You are paying roughly GTA$449,000 to GTA$800,000 for the house itself and the view.
Can friends come into your apartment?
Yes. Other players can be buzzed in or invited, and your apartment works as a shared social space — with a small catch: only the owner uses the planning board to launch heists, with the crew joining through invites.
Does it matter which high-end apartment you buy for heists?
Not for function. Every high-end apartment has the same planning room and 10-car garage, and the heists play identically from all of them. Choose on price first and location second; interiors within the tier differ in layout and view only.
In Short
Apartments in GTA Online are simple once the tiers are clear: low-end buys a bed and 2-car storage, medium buys space, and high-end buys the planning room that unlocks the original heists. Buy the high-end floor first — Del Perro Heights, Apartment 7, GTA$200,000 — fill the remaining slots only as your car collection demands, and save the penthouses and stilt houses for the day your businesses make their prices feel small.
