Hey everyone!

When looking into Towns 2, I had a hard time seeing all the houses and therefore picking one. So, I made this mini-guide to help people pick a home biggrin
Went through all housing areas and took pictures of each home style as well as took notes as to the unique features of each town.

Apartments
Durem and Aekea feature apartments. The only aesthetics seen of your home are the fronts. Each "plot" contains 6 housing areas, 3 on each side stacked atop one another.

The community areas are the ground floors. Trees, robots, cafe tables, etc. can be shaken for gold. Flowers will grow in green patches. Trash appears randomly on ground floor.

Main difference other than looks for these two is that Aekea has stairs leading up to apartments which can be slightly difficult to navigate while Durem features an elevator in which your avatar is transported to floors.

Homes
Since Durem and Aekea have apartments, it is easy to tell that Gambino and Barton have "full-sized" homes. The houses in Towns 2 are noticeably bigger than those of its incarnation. The plots on these areas also have space for 6 tenants and are dispersed in a "random" way (I use the word random lightly because it is not a randomized location, just that the spots are not in block formation).

Community areas are fountain (Barton) and bonfire (Gambino) areas. Trees, trash bins, bushes, etc. can be shaken for gold. Flowers and trash will grow randomly.

No noticeable differences in trekking these areas.

Moving

You can easily change your home style and location through the house options on your smartphone. You can change plots in your current neighborhood or change neighborhoods entirely. As far as I can tell, all these options can be done via your smartphone.

Thanks to kokiriSara for the info heart

I don't actually. Sorry. Though if anyone can let me know I'd be glad to add that info to the first page :3

Either when you explore you can request to move in to a plot or you can create a new neighborhood and choose your home etc.

There are lots of tenant requests in the Gaia Towns and Gaia Home forums if you want some random neighbors. If you want to share a plot with friends, I suggest creating a new neighborhood.

Hope that helped!

I quite like the Barton homes as well. Probably going to move in soon :3

No problem! I searched for awhile trying to find a thread like this so when I didn't find it, I made it. I'm glad it has been helpful so far. 4laugh
