How to claim a house
You do not buy a house from a menu. You claim one in the world:
- Drive or walk to an unowned house in East Greenbush — neighbourhoods near the dealership, the new plaza and Forest View all have claimable homes.
- Walk up to the door and use the claim prompt.
- Once claimed, the house becomes a spawn location and you can invite friends inside.
If every nearby house is taken, switch servers or look further out along the expanded roads. Leaving a server does not always keep a busy house reserved for you.
Interior and exterior customization
House System Phase 5 unlocked decorating the inside of your home, not just the outside. You can:
- Change exterior materials and colours — some options are free, others cost Cash.
- Pick from more than twenty flags for the front of the house.
- Decorate rooms and place interior items added in the May 2026 pass.
- Use the House App on your in-game phone for smart-home style actions and house management.
The redesigned left widget also exposes house actions so you do not have to walk back to the door for every toggle.
House tips
- Claim early in a session if you want a central address — mid-map houses vanish first.
- Use the house as a delivery endpoint when you run RoDash or mail routes nearby.
- Do not spend your first Cash pile on cosmetics until you have a reliable car.
- Custom servers are the place to lock a neighbourhood with friends if public lobbies keep stealing your lot.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get a house in Rensselaer County?
Walk up to an unowned house and use the claim prompt at the door. Houses are limited per server, so popular lots fill up in busy lobbies.
Is House Premium worth it?
At about 75 Robux it is the cheapest pass. Buy it if you live in your house for roleplay; skip it if you only need a spawn point.
