Having a cozy home that you can decorate and spend some time in is an important aspect of role-playing games like Starfield. However, due to its interstellar nature, especially in a destitute location like Akila City, you may not come across as many cozy homes in this game.
This city is located in the Cheyenne star system directly beneath the sun and is guarded by the faction group known as the "Freestar Collective." If you wish to have a home here, you must follow a specific path to find the NPC who sells them.
Where To Buy Houses In Akila City
The structure of Akila is quite intricate, and it's easy to get lost within it. If you want to find the NPC who sells houses, you need to enter through the main entrances and proceed straight ahead until you reach the enormous building where you complete quests for the "Freestar Ranger" faction. It's hard to miss, as it's one of the tallest buildings in the city.
Once you reach the doors of the building, you will notice a pathway to the right with stairs leading upwards. Follow these stairs until you reach the very top, where you will see the backside of the Freestar Collective building with a green-colored shed on it. Upon reaching this area, turn left, and there you will find the NPC named Ngodup, wearing an orange jacket.
When you speak with Ngodup, he will tell you about the two houses that you can purchase:
- The Core Manor
- The Midtown Home
Which Home Should You Pick?
When you speak with Ngodup about the two houses, you'll discover that there is quite a significant price difference between them. You will need to spend 78,000 credits for the Core Manor and 45,000 credits for the Midtown Home (also known as the Stretched Apartment). The entrance to the Core Manor is located directly behind him, but you'll have to go quite a distance to find the Midtown Home.
Here are all the differences between the two houses apart from the distance:
Core Manor |
This house looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing, but it might feel smaller than the Stretched Apartment since it has two exits in such a small space. Moreover, there isn't any place designated for a bedroom and the small hallway near the second exit sticks out like a sore thumb. |
|---|---|
Stretched Apartment |
The Stretched Apartment isn't painted properly and the space in it is a lot more restrictive. You have designated areas for your bedroom right beside the bathroom, but there's hardly any place for placing your workbenches. |
Ultimately, the choice depends on what you have in mind for the house. While there may be a significant price difference between the two houses, accumulating a substantial amount of credits in Starfield is not difficult.
