Anyone exploring the Land of Smiles in Forza Horizon 6 can also put down roots thanks to the game’s player-owned houses. Here’s everything you need to know about all eight homes, including how to unlock them, how much they cost and the perks they provide.

How do houses work in Forza Horizon 6?

Welcome to Japan. After hectic festival events, long drift sessions and cross-country races, player houses in Forza Horizon 6 give you somewhere to relax, customise your cars and show off your favourite vehicles. Each property also comes with a unique perk that can significantly improve your progress in both the single-player career and online modes. This guide explains where to find every house, how much they cost and what you unlock by buying them.

Houses in Forza Horizon 6 are more than simple fast travel points that let you move quickly between the game’s 10 regions. Every property includes a permanent perk that activates as soon as you purchase it, whether you set the house as your home base or not. Bonuses range from daily Wheelspins and credit boosts to discounts at the Autoshow. Players who buy all eight houses can benefit from every perk at the same time.

Each property also includes its own garage area, allowing you to display favourite cars and personalise the space with your own designs.

Most houses are not available immediately. To unlock more properties, you’ll need to increase your Discover Japan progress in the Collector’s Journal and earn additional stamps. As your stamp level rises, more houses become available to purchase. Players who focus early on story missions, Touge races, mascot activities and regional exploration will unlock homes much faster.

Mei’s House becomes your first home base in Japan and is unlocked near the start of the campaign. Simply progress through the solo story to receive it for free.

It’s worth investing in Tokyo House early if possible, as lucky Wheelspin rewards can eventually recover a large portion of the purchase price.

Players who enjoy building systems in games such as Minecraft, Fortnite or Cities: Skylines should buy Yashiki House as soon as possible. It is the cheapest property in Forza Horizon 6, but also one of the most useful.

For only 10,000 credits, you unlock the Estate Builder feature, which allows you to create custom race tracks, drift routes, stunt parks and car meet areas. Anyone interested in the game’s creative tools should pick this house up immediately.

Players who love scenic mountain cabins will probably consider Hakusan Mountain Lodge one of the best-looking homes in Forza Horizon 6. Located high in the Sotoyama Mountains, it’s also the first property that offers two perks at once.

Alongside the additional garage slot, the lodge permanently increases credit rewards from Horizon Life events. Anyone spending a lot of time in the game’s online open world will recover the investment fairly quickly.

Soko 78 is the second property available in Tokyo City and one of the best houses for collectors. Players who regularly buy new cars from the Autoshow will save credits on every purchase thanks to the Import/Export perk.

Five per cent may not sound like much at first, but the savings quickly become noticeable once you start buying expensive vehicles.

Vision House is arguably the most impressive property in Forza Horizon 6. The luxury villa has strong Hollywood Hills energy and offers spectacular views across the surrounding landscape.

As the final and most expensive house in the game, Vision House includes two valuable perks. The LINK Skills bonus is especially useful for multiplayer sessions and players working towards the Master Explorer gold badge. You’ll just need plenty of credits before you can afford it.

How the estate system works in Forza Horizon 6

The Yashiki House estate is the only property in Forza Horizon 6 that allows you to customise not just the garage, but the entire outdoor area as well.

To open Builder Mode, park near the ramp outside the house. Your current estate value and the Estate Options menu will appear in the top-left corner of the screen. From there, you can access the Estate Builder.

Builder Mode lets you remove objects, place props and redesign the landscape freely, as long as you stay within the object limit. Additional props can be purchased directly from the Prop Library using credits.

Race tracks, stunt parks or car clubs? The choice is yours

Players who don’t want to build their own layouts can also browse Community Estates. Open the ‘My Estates’ menu and select ‘Browse Community Estates’ to download creations from other players and apply them to your own property. Just remember that you’ll still need enough credits to buy the required props.

If you want to start again from scratch, open the ‘My Estates’ section inside the ‘My Horizon’ menu and select ‘Empty My Estate’. This removes every placed prop instantly.
