The full Lagos rent table (with buyout prices)

Every home on the Lagos market, read in-game on 11 October 2026. Rent is weekly; "move in" is the one-time fee; "buy" ends rent forever:

Home	Area	Size	Rent/week	Move-in fee	Buy outright
Hall of Residence	UNILAG, Akoka	6×6	₦1,200	₦3,600	n/a
Face-me-I-face-you	Mushin	6×6	₦2,400	₦7,200	₦113k

Duplex	Ikoyi	12×12	₦250,000	₦750,000	₦15m
Mansion	Banana Island	14×14	₦1,500,000	₦4,500,000	₦91m

Port Harcourt and Abuja homes unlock in the Houses app once you expand there. Furniture moves with you when you relocate within Lagos.

Two patterns worth knowing The move-in fee is always exactly 3 weeks of rent, at every price point. The buyout price runs about 47 to 61 weeks of rent (under a year and a half), and the multiplier grows at the high end: buying the Yaba self-contain pays for itself in about a year, the Banana Island mansion takes longer. If you're staying put and the cash exists, buying beats renting from roughly week 50 onward.
