The newest GTA Online update, A Safehouse in the Hills, drops something players have wanted for years: real Mansions. Not penthouses. Not apartments pretending to be fancy. Actual homes in Los Santos that look like the kind of places NPCs would call the cops on you for stepping near.
You only get three choices, and each one costs more than most heist payouts combined. Since most players won’t be buying all of them (unless you’re sitting on a small mountain of duplicated Cayo Perico runs), here’s a clean breakdown of what each Mansion offers, how much you’ll spend, and what kind of vibe you’re signing up for.
All GTA Online Mansions in the Safehouse DLC
1. Tongva Estate – The Hillside Hideout
Tongva Estate comes in at $11,500,000, making it the “cheapest” option. Even though that word doesn’t really apply when you’re dropping eight figures on a digital house.
This spot sits away from the noisy city and has a calm, countryside feel. Think of it as a place your character would go after a long day of blowing up Oppressor Mk II riders.
Inside, you get the same customization freedom as the other mansions. You can swap interior tints, adjust patterns, and choose one of three decor themes. One theme is free, and the others cost almost half a million each.
The optional upgrades here include:
- A full Armory with Mk II support
- An Arcade room
- A Vehicle Workshop
- A Podium for showing off a favorite car
- A Security team
- An AI Assistant that doesn’t charge anything, no matter which personality you pick
| Upgrade | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tints | Change the interior’s color tone. | $100,000 each (1 free, 3 paid) |
| Patterns | Add new patterns to your interior. | $245,000 each (1 free, 5 paid) |
| Decor Styles | Choose preset decor themes. | Los Santos Loft: Free |
| San Andreas Coastal: $497,500 | ||
| Vinewood Regency: $612,500 | ||
| Armory | Lets you buy and modify weapons, including Mk II upgrades. | $720,000 |
| Arcade | Full arcade space for fun inside the Mansion. | $950,000 |
| Podium | Display your favorite car on a raised platform. | $650,000 |
| Vehicle Workshop | Modify cars inside your home. GTA+ adds extra upgrade options. | $880,000 |
| Security | Private militia protection. | $1,750,000 |
| AI Assistant | AI Assistant Angel, Haviland, or OG. | Free |
If you take every upgrade, the total climbs to $18,360,000. That’s almost double the base price, but that’s GTA Online economics for you.
2. Vinewood Residence – The Celebrity-Style Mansion
Next up is the Vinewood Residence, priced at $12,200,000. It sits on the East Vinewood Hills side, which gives it more of that classic “movie star home” look. If you like skylines, this is the one with the best view.
The upgrade system matches Tongva Estate, but the layout feels more modern. You still choose between tints, patterns, and decor styles. One free decor option is included, and the others cost the same as the previous property.
The extras you can add include:
- Weapon workshop with Mk II upgrades
- Arcade space
- Vehicle workshop
- Podium
- Private security
- AI assistant (all three are free selections)
| Upgrade | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tints | Change the interior’s color tone. | $100,000 each (1 free, 3 paid) |
| Patterns | Add new patterns to your interior. | $245,000 each (1 free, 5 paid) |
| Decor Styles | Choose preset decor themes. | Los Santos Loft: Free |
| San Andreas Coastal: $497,500 | ||
| Vinewood Regency: $612,500 | ||
| Armory | Lets you buy and modify weapons, including Mk II upgrades. | $720,000 |
| Arcade | Full arcade space for fun inside the Mansion. | $950,000 |
| Podium | Display your favorite car on a raised platform. | $650,000 |
| Vehicle Workshop | Modify cars inside your home. GTA+ adds extra upgrade options. | $880,000 |
| Security | Private militia protection. | $1,750,000 |
| AI Assistant | AI Assistant Angel, Haviland, or OG. | Free |
Fully loading this mansion with every option brings your total to $19,060,000. That makes it slightly more expensive to max out than Tongva, even though the base price sits right in the middle.
3. Richman Villa – The Most Expensive Home in the Update
If you want the flashiest address, Richman Villa is the one. It starts at $12,800,000, which makes it the priciest mansion in the DLC before you even add upgrades.
This place looks like the kind of house an LS celebrity would brag about on Lifeinvader. It has a wide, clean layout and a luxury feel that matches the Richman neighborhood.
It offers the same set of custom options as the others:
- Paid and free interior tints
- Six pattern options
- Three decor themes
- Armory
- Arcade
- Vehicle workshop
- Podium
- Security
- Free AI assistants
| Upgrade | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tints | Change the interior’s color tone. | $100,000 each (1 free, 3 paid) |
| Patterns | Add new patterns to your interior. | $245,000 each (1 free, 5 paid) |
| Decor Styles | Choose preset decor themes. | Los Santos Loft: Free |
| San Andreas Coastal: $497,500 | ||
| Vinewood Regency: $612,500 | ||
| Armory | Lets you buy and modify weapons, including Mk II upgrades. | $720,000 |
| Arcade | Full arcade space for fun inside the Mansion. | $950,000 |
| Podium | Display your favorite car on a raised platform. | $650,000 |
| Vehicle Workshop | Modify cars inside your home. GTA+ adds extra upgrade options. | $880,000 |
| Security | Private militia protection. | $1,750,000 |
| AI Assistant | AI Assistant Angel, Haviland, or OG. | Free |
A fully upgraded Richman Villa hits a total of $19,660,000, making it the most expensive investment in the entire DLC.
What Happens After You Buy
After the payment goes through, Michael and Amanda greet you as the new homeowner. Seeing familiar faces inside your new mansion feels almost nostalgic, especially if you played the GTA V story back when it released.
Rockstar is also letting players jump into GTA Online without a PS Plus subscription for two weeks, so it’s the perfect time to explore the update.
Which Mansion Makes the Most Sense?
Here’s the simple breakdown:
- Tongva Estate fits players who want quiet scenery.
- Vinewood Residence is for people who want a stylish urban hillside home.
- Richman Villa is the showoff pick, with the highest cost and the flashiest design.
All three share the same upgrades, so your choice comes down to location and whether you prefer peace, views, or luxury.
