| House | Location | How to acquire | Description |
| Nesoi Dream Home | Nesoi | By having the "Dream Home" trait and 125,000 credits | One of the largest homes in the game on its own planet. It's so big, Mum and Dad can move in |
| Parents House | New Atlantis | This is completely free and only acquired by having the "Kid Stuff" trait | A nice apartment in New Atlantis, but you can only customize your room because it's not your home |
| The Lodge Room | New Atlantis | After completing a few missions for the Constellation, chat to Noelle about getting a room | Small room, but still offers some storage space. One of the few homes you can fast travel to directly |
| Sleep Crate | Neon | 6,500 Credits | Very small place, mainly for sleeping in but you can still customise the house and store some items here |
| The Well apartment | The Well in New Atlantis | 30,000 Credits | Once you become a citizen of the United Colonies you can purchase this simple, but well-located apartment |
| Stretch house | Akila City | Bought from Ngodup Tate for 45,000 Credits | One large room with a series of dividers to break up the space |
| Core Manor | Akila City | Bought from Ngodup Tate for 78,000 Credits | Akila City's nicest property on offer to the players |
| Sky Suite | Neon | 235,000 Credits | The most expensive home on offer to players despite being another one-room apartment. It's all about the location, here |
| Mercury Tower Penthouse | New Atlantis | Reward for becoming a Class One Citizen | By far the nicest and most spacious home in the game that you can earn and it is free |

Can you build bases?
You can also build bases in Starfield, which are called outposts. These can be built nearly anywhere on any of the game's planets or moons, and require you to collect resources.

There are different resources you can gain depending on the planet you place the base on, so choose wisely.
