The Wiener Apartment is the entry-level property in Neverness to Everness, sitting on Little Banyan Road North in Illusion Town. It costs 200,000 Fons, opens up at City Tycoon rank 5, and lets you invite one Esper at a time once your bond is high enough. Buying it is also a hard requirement for pushing the City Tycoon ladder past rank 5.
What you need before buying
The property menu inside City Tycoon stays locked until you clear a specific tutorial chain. Until then, the Wiener Apartment listing will not appear, even if you already have the Fons on hand.
- City Tycoon rank 5 — reached by completing the tutorial chain through rank 4 and finishing the Coffee Curator quest.
- 200,000 Fons — the full purchase price, deducted on confirmation.
- Property feature unlocked — automatically activates inside the City Tycoon menu after Coffee Curator wraps up.
Fons come from running shops in Cafe by Origen, Anomaly Commissions, side activities around Hethereau, and City Tycoon-related commissions. Avoid spending heavily on furniture or decor before clearing the rank 5 threshold so you do not have to grind the price back up.

Furnishing and Comfort value
Comfort is the metric that measures how furnished your apartment is, and it feeds directly into City Tycoon rank-up requirements. Placing any furniture raises Comfort, and Anomaly Furniture pieces add passive effects that apply outside City Tycoon mode (such as Critical boosts or vehicle-related perks tied to specific items).
To place furniture in the Wiener Apartment:
- Fast travel into the apartment.
- Press the arrows icon at the top of the screen to open the decoration menu.
- Pick a furniture piece, then drag and rotate it into position.
- Confirm with the check icon to lock placement and update the Comfort bar.
Furniture comes from level rewards, alley exploration around Hethereau, small shops, DeLuxur Decor stores (couch icon), vending machines, and certain side quests. Most pieces cost Fons, which you can refill through Hethereau Hobbies, Anomaly Commissions, and general exploration.
Inviting Espers over
The Wiener Apartment supports one Esper roommate at a time. To send an invite, you need Bond Level 4 or higher with that character. Open the apartment, press the character icon at the top of the screen, and pick the Esper you want to move in.
Hosting an Esper raises their affection through interaction. Hitting Bond Level 4 unlocks Familiar status, and Bond Level 6 promotes them to Close Friend, opening unique dialogue and bond items. Gifts and Bond Quests are the fastest way to push affinity if you are short on the bond level needed to invite someone.
Properties beyond the Wiener Apartment
There is no cap on how many properties you can own, but each one is gated behind a specific City Tycoon rank and a steeper price tag. The full ladder looks like this:
| Property | Rank | Cost (Fons) | Invitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiener Apartment | 5 | 200,000 | 1 |
| Eden Apartment | 7 | 1,000,000 | 2 |
| Skyview Halls | 9 | 1,400,000 | 2 |
| Golden Capital | 11 | 2,000,000 | 3 |
| Fenglin Villa | 13 | 8,000,000 | 5 |
Each tier supports more roommates and unlocks access to higher-end Anomaly Furniture sets. The Wiener Apartment is the cheapest path to start activating those passive effects and the only property you can claim before tycoon progression opens up the rest of Hethereau’s housing market.
