Mansions in GTA Online are built to drain bank accounts. The Safehouse in the Hills update finally adds the ultra‑luxury homes players have been waiting for, but the real question is how much they cost and what you get for all that money.
Base mansion prices in GTA Online
There are three purchasable mansions, all listed on the in‑game Prix Luxury Real Estate website on your character’s phone. You can own all three at the same time.
| Mansion | Location | Base price | With all add‑ons |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Tongva Estate (Devin Weston’s Mansion) | Tongva Hills, near Lago Zancudo | $11,500,000 | ≈ $17,400,000 |
| The Vinewood Residence | East Vinewood Hills, near the Vinewood sign | $12,200,000 | ≈ $18,100,000 |
| Richman Villa | Richman, west Vinewood Hills | $12,800,000 | ≈ $18,700,000 |
Those “with all add‑ons” numbers line up with what players are seeing in practice: if you buy a mansion and bolt on every optional room and amenity, you land somewhere between about $17.4M and $18.7M for that single property.
Despite the differences in neighborhood, there’s only $1.3M between the cheapest and most expensive base prices, so you are not buying into a completely different tier of status by choosing one over another. The price gap mostly reflects location rather than major functional differences.
How the $2 million mansion discount works
Some players see discounted prices on the Prix Luxury site. That comes from the “New Listing Missions” that were available just before the mansions went on sale.
- Completing all three New Listing missions before the cutoff applies a $2,000,000 discount to each mansion.
- Players who also have GTA+ can see an extra discount layer on top of that, effectively making the cheapest mansion cost as little as around $8.5M with no upgrades for some accounts.
The important detail is that the mission discount is per mansion, not a one‑time coupon. If you qualified, the $2M reduction is baked into the listed price for all three properties.
What “$20M for everything you want” actually means
The number that keeps getting thrown around is roughly $20M for a fully built‑out mansion. That isn’t the base property cost; it’s the bill once you tack on interior style, decor, and all the optional rooms and services.
Each mansion shares the same upgrade structure, so the “fully loaded” price is driven mainly by these extras:
| Upgrade | Function | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Armory | Mk II Weapon Workshop, weapon purchasing, loadout rack | $720,000 |
| Arcade | Place and play owned arcade cabinets | $950,000 |
| Car Podium | Indoor display stage for one personal vehicle | $650,000 |
| Vehicle Workshop | Modify personal vehicles; GTA+ adds HSW/Benny’s/Drift/Jammer options | $880,000 |
| Security Team | On‑site guards, raid‑mitigation for businesses | $1,750,000 |
On top of that, interior choices pile on several hundred thousand more:
- Interior decor style: San Andreas Coastal or Vinewood Regency can add roughly $500k–$600k if you move away from the free Los Santos Loft option, depending on how the menu is configured when you buy.
- Interior tints: Mint, Lavender, or Salmon are $100,000 each if selected.
- Interior patterns: Floral, Lipstick, Tiles, Zebras, or Pebbles patterns cost $245,000 each.
Once you combine a $11.5M–$12.8M base price with around $4M–$5M of optional systems and cosmetic flourishes, you end up near that “$20M for everything” figure per mansion, especially on the Richman Villa side.
Note: the mansion Security Team only has to be purchased once if you own multiple mansions; its effect is global, so you are not paying $1.75M three times for the same systemic benefit.
What every mansion includes by default
The three locations share a common feature set. You’re paying primarily for the view and address, not a fundamentally different layout of core rooms.
- 20‑car garage hidden in the basement with space for twenty vehicles, plus a driveway area outside.
- Outdoor space with a swimming pool, hot tub, yoga zone, gym equipment, kennels for pets, and a large driveway.
- Rooftop helipad that lets you land and take off directly from your estate.
- Master and guest bedrooms, a large lounge, a cigar room, a private salon, and a media room on the upper floors.
- Office with Master Control Terminal that lets you remotely manage connected businesses from one screen.
- Trophy cabinets and decorations that show off in‑game achievements.
- Secure vault underground that visually represents the cash you hold across wallet and bank.
Those baseline rooms come with the mansion purchase; the armory, arcade, car podium, vehicle workshop, and visible security team are the pieces you choose à la carte.
AI Concierge, fast travel, and business boosts
Every mansion ships with a digital butler called the Prix Luxury AI Concierge. You can choose one of three personas: Angel, Haviland, or OG. The choice is cosmetic; the capabilities are the same.
From inside the mansion you can use the AI Assistant for several high‑impact functions:
- Fast travel instantly to any property or business you own, including other mansions.
- Production boost for one business with supplies or product, including Biker businesses and the Acid Lab, lasting 24 in‑game hours.
- Party hosting to turn the mansion into a social space with guests.
- Spawn options to leave via a personal vehicle, chauffeured luxury car, or helicopter.
The fast travel system alone is a meaningful time‑saver if your empire is spread around the map. It also quietly gives remote properties new strategic value, because you can bounce between them without touching the road network.
Mansion security and raid prevention
The most practical mansion upgrade is also the most expensive non‑decor line item: the Security Team.
- Buying mansion security reduces the chance that your businesses will be raided.
- If a given business already has its own security upgrade and you add mansion security, raids on that business drop to 0% chance.
- This applies to all businesses that support security upgrades, such as MC businesses and others that offer a security tier.
The result is simple but powerful: pair mansion security with existing business security and you can run as an MC President full‑time without random raid interruptions eating into your sessions. For players who operate a wide spread of businesses at once, the $1.75M outlay is effectively a permanent quality‑of‑life upgrade for the entire account.
Tip: the security upgrade is global, so you do not need to repurchase it for each mansion you buy later.
Locations and how they play differently
Functionally, every mansion is the same. The choice is all about where you want to live and how you move around Los Santos.
The Tongva Estate (Devin Weston’s Mansion)
The Tongva Estate is the cheapest option and the most remote. It sits in the Tongva Hills, just south of Fort Zancudo and its military base.
Driving there means a long, winding route through the hills. It is a peaceful retreat with Pacific views rather than a convenient urban base. With mansion fast travel and the rooftop helipad, the distance is much less of a drawback, but if you like to drive everywhere rather than teleport or fly, you will feel the commute.
The Vinewood Residence
The Vinewood Residence is in the eastern Vinewood Hills, near the Vinewood sign and the Vinewood Bowl.
You reach it by heading north from the Vinewood district into Cliffton Avenue, then following the uphill roads that loop around the Bowl complex. From there, it’s relatively easy to drop back onto the Los Santos Freeway or into central Los Santos using the linked country roads and avenues.
For players who want a hillside vibe but still care about quick access to both the city and Blaine County highways, this is the balanced pick.
Richman Villa
Richman Villa is the most expensive mansion, located in the Richman district on the west side of town.
It is one of the easiest mansions to reach on foot or by car. Coming out of Morningwood and heading up Tongva Drive, you take the second right after Richman Street and follow it toward the second major bend to see the property entrance.
Many long‑time players already own high‑end apartments and the Casino Penthouse in this general area. If you prefer to actually “live” where the action is, Richman Villa puts you near existing city properties and gives you another fast‑travel anchor for that cluster.
How to buy a mansion in GTA Online
Everything runs through the in‑game phone, not the real web, so there is nothing to install or redeem outside GTA Online. The process is straightforward once you know where to look.
Step 1: Open your in‑game smartphone and tap the Internet icon to bring up the browser home page.
Step 2: Look for the Prix Luxury Real Estate site on the homepage and open it. Mansions are featured prominently there as part of the Safehouse in the Hills rollout.
Step 3: Select one of the three mansions to view its listing, then scroll through the customization options. Set your decor style, tint, and pattern, and pick any optional rooms and amenities you want.
Step 4: Confirm the purchase. If you have a discount from the New Listing missions or GTA+, the displayed price already reflects it.
Step 5: After purchase, use the Interaction Menu while inside the mansion to fine‑tune decorations, trophy displays, gym equipment, and your pets (cat and dog).
Are mansions worth the price?
For new or low‑income players, the mansions are a late‑game luxury. They cost more than many “serious” businesses and do not unlock unique money‑making activities of their own.
For established players who already own the usual grind tools, the calculation changes. A mansion gives:
- True account‑wide fast travel between any owned property or business.
- A raid‑free setup for businesses once security is doubled up.
- The Master Control Terminal in a more central, visually polished home base than many older properties.
- A 20‑car garage plus outdoor parking without touching your existing garages.
That combination of convenience, downtime space, and passive protection is why the total bill can climb toward $20M and still feel justifiable to players sitting on large cash reserves. If you are still building your first money‑making infrastructure, it makes more sense to treat these mansions as a long‑term goal rather than an immediate priority.
