Since the recent release of Forza Horizon 5, the game has already garnered praise from fans and critics alike. Even amongst many similar games, Forza Horizon 5 has seen a massive amount of popularity. However, with a deep amount of customizability and nuance, the game can be difficult for newcomers.
This can even extend beyond the racing mechanics themselves, and to other aspects of the game. Notably, this includes the ability to purchase and own various houses. With a number of various houses to choose from, these various homes, and the perks they come with, wildly vary in the benefits they offer the player.
La Cabaña
One of the cheapest and least assuming of all houses in Forza Horizon 5, La Cabaña will still act as a boon for players when it is unlocked. Even though it is more domestic and average looking compared to many other housing options, players shouldn't overlook the worth of La Cabaña. Located near the west coast of the game world, La Cabaña only costs 150,000 credits, making it one of the most affordable houses for players to purchase.
Having an accessible fast travel point can be incredibly useful for players, and La Cabaña provides that utility without being prohibitively expensive. Apart from unlocking another point for fast travel, La Cabaña offers another positive after it is unlocked, as it will become the starting point for a Barn Find for the Renault 4L Export.
Buena Esperanza
Buena Esperanza is more isolated than most other homes in Forza Horizon 5. Set in the Mexican rainforest, this smaller house will set players back 700,000 credits. Unfortunately, Buena Esperanza does not come with any perks, but can still act as a fast travel point.
However, it does include some benefits for players who purchase it. This house comes with a super wheelspin, a cosmetic item, and one of Forza Horizon 5's many unique streetcars, which somewhat makes up for its lack of included perk, which grant players ive abilities.
Casa Bella
Casa Bella is the first house that players will unlock in Forza Horizon 5. The house is free to unlock and is located in the town of Mulegé. With pink siding and a cubical, modern design, Casa Bella stands out for aesthetics alone.
Casa Bella will be available after players complete the Horizon Adventure chapter, marking a turn towards more open progression. Like some other houses, Casa Bella comes with a perk. In this particular case, players will be given the ability "Skill Songs," which will double the scores of your tricks and skills when playing on a radio.
La Casa Solariega
La Casa Solariega boasts a hefty price tag, being available for either 1.5 million credits (or through VIP hip DLC). This massive mansion, complete with a fountain, can be found near the center of the map, near the Teotihuacán pyramid complex.
Apart from its grandeur and premier location, La Casa Solariega offers five super wheel spins, a cosmetic item, and the perk Forzathon Perks Boost. This powerful perk gives players double Forzathon points, which are granted through Horizon Arcade events, as well as daily and weekly challenges.
Lugar Tranquilo
Even though it costs 700,000 credits (or the Welcome Pack DLC), the tropical location of Lugar Tranquilo alone might be worth it for some players. Located near the town of Playa Azul, this house comes with a premier coastal location and a mural on one wall.
This house comes with a super wheel spin, a Forza Link phrase, as well as the perk Horizon Promo. Horizon Promo will allow players to photograph their collection of cars, allowing Forza Horizon fans to show off their fastest or favorite ones in photo mode. It will even offer them milestones for doing so.
Hotel Castillo
Hotel Castillo is nothing like any other house in Forza Horizon 5. In fact, calling it just a house greatly downplays what this 5 million credit purchase truly is. Hotel Castillo is a gargantuan castle, overlooking the city of Guanajuato (in fact, the game tells players that the price includes a full set of caretaker staff).
Hotel Castillo comes with two super wheel spins and a perk, Daily Wheelspin. This ability gives players a free super wheel spin each time they to Forza Horizon 5. However, this perk isn't as strong as others found in the game, meaning a purchase of Hotel Castillo is much more of a method for a player to flaunt their vast wealth.
Buenas Vistas
A massive villa, Buenas Vistas will cost players 2 million credits to obtain. Located near the coast, this beach house is incredibly expensive and comes with both a perk and two super wheel spins. However, its perk, called 'Fast Travel,' more than makes up for its astronomical cost.
This perk allows players to instantly travel to any road on the map, only hampered by fast travel costs. Even if players would prefer a home away from the beach, this powerful ability will more than pay back what is invested into this house.
