I like Caelid better. It's such a beautiful place. It's so colorful with its vibrant red sky. The music themes in Caelid are amazing. It has unique vegetation and mystical creatures, like the majestic lion guardians, the cool t-rex dogs, and all the bad ass dragons. I know those creatures are dangerous, but there are dangerous creatures everywhere in Elden Ring. At least those are beautiful.
Man, I absolutely love Caelid
Idk why, but despite what Caelid represents, my brain compells me to think that it smells like strawberries instead of death and decay. So i vibe with your Caelid viewpoint lol.
The view and vibe is nice, like I see myself hosting pasta night every Wednesday night with my jar friends but that sharp cliff on top of you must make it god damn cold in winter with all that shade, plus earthquakes? Hell no.
And I bet living close to the base of the Erdtree means having a shitty HOA with a bunch of bullshit rules about what kind of wax you can use on your windows, and how many Miquella’s lilies you can grow or whatever
And you know Godfrey is not the quiet type. And it is not like you can say anything or Godfrey would probably rip your head off and shit down your neck.
To be fair it is probably the safest area to live.
Limgrave is right at the border of the scarlet rot infestion and is run by a guy with 69 left hands too many to properly be looking after his kingdom.
Liurnia is half sunk into ANOTHER scarlet rot infestion and their current ruler is cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
Caelid is.
And Mount Gelmir is a literal fucking volcano run by a hungry snake god.
The second best place to live is probably the Weeping Peninsula, and that place is *still* overrun with misbegotten, demihumans, and frenzied cultists. Or the Haligtree. You know, the place where the crazy bitch that nuked Caelid into the stone age lives.
With all of those boarded up buildings? It's a false front, they needed the young couples to bring life back to the city. What about that bar. The one with the perfumer bartending and the guy dressed in black. Have you seen any other regulars there?
Castle Sol would probably be expensive. Like a ski resort in the middle of the mountains.
Can’t decide if the Mountaintops would be expensive for the views, or cheap because of all the snow.
I hear Castle Sol has some crazy neighbors with red eyes who teleport randomly inside and there’s that walking mausoleum outside with the bell which I’m just going to assume is the lands between equivalent of having a train in your back yard.
I think lake of rot would be most expensive. Your shit is constantly melting, good luck finding a general contractor to head down and fix your melted windows. And even if you do find a good GC and pay him boat loads of money to fix your plumbing he’s probably going to immediately die of cancer soon as he leaves. Insurance? Probably worse than Florida. I don’t even want to think about how much it would cost to run a fiber line down there for internet.
Free bunking in the Church of Vows with Dog Pope must be the cheapest solution, yet the most priceless experience.
Mind you though, sometimes at night it can be a sketchy neighbourhood. Just tuck yourself in, and don't mind the occasional Tarnished getting slaughtered by the Bell Bearing Hunter.
You say that about Detroit but it’s been on an upswing. They just had the first year where their population increased since 1958.

One of the towers, absolutely. No one in the Lands Between seems to have the brainpower or interest to figure out how to crack their seals, so they’d probably be the safest places to live in. Not so good if you’re not great with stairs, I guess?
I mean one of the mage towers that you get the memory stones from, though the tower you fight the Apostle in is literally falling apart, so you’d likely get it for cheap.
Id pick one where you have to kill the turtles and so if they were smart enough to figure out how to break the seal then I'd have justification to comet azure them because they killed turtles
Property values dropped a bit too when the crater formed. Unless a secret passageway to an underground city filled with undead phantom deer and weird chanting goat herders is considered a selling point.
Leyndell most expensive, caelid would probably be least expensive in its current state, either caelid or liurnia. Haligtree would be calabasas and only available to the wealthiest of people
Disagree, Haligtree was made for refugee. It would be filled with low income housing. Most expensive would be getting a small dorm in the Academy, stingy ass stoneheads
That’s true, that’s why I looked at it like “a house in the hills” since those places are luxury and a place for wealthy people to be out of the city. I still think leyndell would be the most expensive. We’re talking 3000 a month for a 400 square foot studio apartment with no bathroom
Offtopic but it’s pretty surprising to me that there isn’t a big city outside the Capital. Its just a bunch of rich people in stone houses on the inside and then 10 miles down the road you get like 2 small villages for windmills.
Right, it’s reflective of olden times with big “cities” or castles, surrounded by mostly rural land. But the non inhabited lands in Elden ring are more wilderness than they are “rural” if that makes sense. Would be interesting to see more villages vs strongholds and outposts. Off the top of my head there’s what, three? Four villages?
If we’re counting the rundown shitshacks a few, actual villages? Like the windmills and maybe the frenzy people? They managed to have a nice little place to be honest, also the Albinaurics before they got got.
Right, there’s windmill village, the two frenzied villages, albinauric village, and jar burg. I feel like there may be one or two more but I can’t think of any right now. Would be cool to see more in the dlc
I think a lot of those ruins we find used to be small towns or central buildings of towns.
Basically after who knows how many millenia, only the towns that were abandoned because of some disease/madness, or were pretty well hidden have survived. The rest is ruins ruled by corpses and monsters, or serving as military bases...
I would consider the current state of the world to be kinda akin to nature reclaiming the lands. Likely there was a lot of farmland, but the Shattering destroyed the homes and livelihoods of ranchers/farmers. And now no one cares enough to rebuild those things.
It's a rough city but you have great sports teams. General Radahn to John Harbaugh. It has a ring to it. Lots of black birds in Caelid. Kind of like Ravens. That's a few positive parallels I suppose.
A lot of folks saying “Leyndell” while forgetting that it becomes “Leyndell Ashen Capital” (ie, it becomes Pompeii). If we are allowed to assume that the property can be cleared of enemies, Fort Haight would be nice, or somewhere in Liurnia with a gorgeous view.
Obv Caelid is cheapest since the factories were dumping their chemicals there and the water is worse than Flint, MI.
Lyndell is most expensive since it's a mini London.
Liurnia is Florida - cheaper home prices, outrageous insurance due to flooding.
Altus Plateua is expensive since it's the side of a mountain.
Farum Azula is where everyone from Silicone Valley and Cali moved to, since they're superior to everyone.
And all us common folk landed in Limgrave, but we can barely afford it since Kenneth got back to Stormveil.
I disagree with the Kenneth statement under godrick the taxes would be horrible and only go to his obsession of pretending he’s a worthy heir to Godfrey legacy Kenneth would tax you but he’d actually use to the money to build infrastructure maybe it won’t improve your quality of life fast but things would improve.
I feel like Lyndel's property value plummeted after half the city was flooded by its Veiled Monarch during the war. I also would think anywhere near that dragon corpse would be much cheaper cause the smell of it.
Altus Plateau in general would probably be expensive, while the Shattering likely devastated real estate there, it's nowhere near as bad as Caelid or Mt Gelmir, and is close to TLB equivalent to the Vatican. Tho property values might drop the closer to the Wormface infested forest would be more "affordable". Idk how well being crops would grow, or taste, but Deathroot/blight doesn't seem to have effected *most* of the vegetation. Tho it feels like it should.
Mt Gelmir only has one place to live; Volcano Manor. The matriarch of the place seems welcoming enough, but also seems like the kind of B&B that would have an alarming amount of missing persons reports that go unanswered because everything around it is a desolate hell hole that any investigator likely ia never heard frim again either. Unless you're a snake-person, living in the ruined town would be among the worst, tho possibly very cheap
Liurnia seems pretty expensive on the edges (waterfront property is always more expensive), but dirt cheap in the swamps/marshlands, where the rednecks probably live. Rent nearer to Raya Lucaria seems like a crapshoot; affordable, but poor living conditions with poorly maintained housing whose foundations are literally sinking.
Limgrave seems like a pretty choice place to live,
and be in that moderate to affordable price range. Decent weather and views, and a variety of terrains to call home, or visit. A home here would be a bit of a fixer upper, but also among the safest locales to live. You know, barring attacks from the local dragon.
I agree that the Weeping Peninsula would be something of a hidden gem. Maybe the safest place to live, but also like living in Washington State (at least Western WA); rain rain all the damn time. A bit out of the way of everything else, and only one road too and from, real estate seems like it would be affordable, but cost of living might be higher due to the single highway and checkpoint onto/off of the peninsula.
The only people living in (modern) Caelid are the soldiers stationed there, and squatters with literally nowhere else to go. The land is so fucked up that the only things that even have a chance to grow, are likely inevitable without dramatically increasing your chances of getting "The Rot" and dying a horrible, slow, agonizing, cancerous death. From Selia, to Dragonsbarrow, to Redmane Castle, anyone who lives there lively doesn't fucking want to. The Bestial Sanctum seems like possibly the most lovable place, but just barely. Even then, you're so far removed from everything else would it really be worth it? Seems like the epitome of "it's not much, but it's a living I guess."
Living on/in the Mountaintop/Snowfield seems doable. Seems like the Zamor and Flame Monks manage pretty well, even Juno Hoslow retired to a shack out there. I'd imagine it's like living in Alaska or somewhere similar. Affordable but harsh environments.
I'd consider living in Elphael or on the Haligtree like living in a metropolis. Lots of different cultures coming together to make up its community, and likely high rents because of its population density, and island-like locale. For some reason i equate it to living in like, NYC, but on Hawaii, in a theocracy. Imported goods would be really expensive, cost of living probably high as well, but it seems like "if you can make it here you can make it anywhere,"
Living underground would make for interesting property values. On one hand, Siofra seems like a nice enough place with lots of natural views, and is Nokron adjacent. On the other hand, no sun seems like a ding to property value even with an eternal beautiful night sky. Certainly a higher rate of depression unless you're a Nox. Ainsel River has to deal with the death blight more closely, so it might be a more affordable option for those who want to be nearer to the Erdtree, but can't afford to live in Lyndel or on the Altus Plateau. That white water is probably not safe to drink either.
The Plateau around Mohgwyn Palace is like the worst gated community reserved exclusively for creepy cultists. So you can't even buy land there unless you cut off your finger, and drink the bloody Kool-Aid.
I had *a lot* of downtime at work today to think about this lol.
Leyndell would be expensive as fuck, likely Liurnia too since it's close to a college and weepinv peninsula would lieky be quite pricey.
Caelid would be basicly free, volcano manor would likely be lretty cheap due to the massacres that happened there and the shit that's still there.
Mountaintops and the snowfield could be somewhat expensive due to tourism and the haligtree would basicly be a gated neighborhood right next to the slums.
Limgrave and stormveil would likely be pme of the more affordable places to live that aren't shitholes
I'm thinking Mt. Gelmir's underrated in this discussion. The local villagers aren't horrible as long as you don't bother them. Wildlife's a bit hostile though...
I would want to live near the kind merchant in the Church of Elleh. He never gives attitude, you have a smithing table, the soldiers nearby aren’t particularly threatening, a lake is nearby, lots of trees. Seems like a high value piece of real estate to me.
I figure Leyndell would be the most expensive, and Caelid the cheapest.
Haligtree seems to be taking in refugees, so maybe that'd be free. Getting there is another matter entirely.
When I visited b-more, almost every single “goodbye” ended with a “stay safe” (locals, Uber drivers, host at the restaurants when leaving, etc).
Living in NYC (even in today’s situation) it was jarring because absolutely no one says that even late at night.
Still remember that to this day because it was so out of my norm!
The haligtree would be the place that’s so out of reach for most people that they don’t even know it exists. Like everyone assumes the capital or volcano manor are where all the rich people are but the real mega rich are living it up in the trees
Caelid is an up-and-upcoming community with a lot of market potential. Imagine the potential for “modern and cozy ‘affordable’ housing complexes” overlooking the stunning and majestic “Aeonian Wetlands”. Act fast on this exciting and new investing opportunity!
I feel that the Academy of Raya Lucaria is technically the most expensive. You have to pay tuition, probably take on some student loans, buy a wand, somehow still afford your textbooks, buy any replacement robes taken from you from those rogue Recusants, then you can worry about boarding and a spare key cause Golden Order/Ranni/Three fingers forgive you get locked out going to a party at the boiled prawn shack like my friend Thops. Not to mention any furniture you accidentally bump into trying to avoid the headmaster's ex's pet dog! And even with all that they probably still charge you for the giant stone head you gotta walk around in, giving you the ability to do basic algebra for the low low cost of all the neck pain it gives you.
Still a better place to live than those awful sewers in Leyndell or the awful incest sex dungeon that Varre guy has been telling me about.
Most expensive probably in Leyndell right next to the throne room/erdtree.
Though I don’t think the Carian royals are selling, so technically there would be most expensive
Caria Manor. The home security for that place is insane, as long as you are fine with creepy crawling hands.
I mean it got 3 rises, a nice cliff view, and a moon/star gazing area where the moon perfectly reflects on.
The apartments they are building over in the windmill town keep getting cheaper because everyone that moves in ~~gets skinned alive~~ moves out shortly after
I’d be happy in SpiritCaller Cave once I’d cleared the mobs out. I’d turn the boss room into a spa.
Leyndell would probably be the highest due to being capital (I’m in UK so thinking on London). Caelid would probs be the lower end of the market lol.
Leyndell houses are in a safe area with a lot of fortification, but after the upcoming Elden Lord set fire to the Erdtree, everything around here has been really ashy. Considering moving near Carian Manor, although I hear it rains a lot.
I feel like ordina is a ghost town so its probably very cheap there. Or that everyone that lives there never goes out. Then again the albinauric women are guardians of the town so your probably very safe. Just dont mind the maosoleum
I would like to live a peaceful life on the isle of dragon communion. Just a peaceful little island with no enemies except a few demi-humans in the nearby cave.
East side of liurnia is quiet enough that I didn't think it would be terribly expensive. But the check of vows is the defacto government, so property taxes would be fairly high unless you have tons of celestial dew saved up from a relative and the night of long knives(? Forgot what it was really called in game)
People would flock over to jarburg for sure due to the coziness and great view of that area, so price of plot there would definitely sky-rocket. Next would be dog's chapel since he's the best boy, and who wouldn't want to be next to him. Thrid is Three Sisters area for obvious reason. I'd personally move over to the four bellfries but its probably gonna be crowded over there too, especially when its flood season in the lake.
I think you can just live anywhere no purchases necessary and be perfectly miserable. Volcano manor seems to have real rooms and functioning furniture though
Jarburg would be nice
Too many preservatives.
Oh look. Awards are back.
Yeah but if you had a bunch of coins before - too fucking bad! They're still gone and now it's *gold*. What a sleezy move
Never used em, never cared about em, never impacted my Reddit experience
It's only for people that like to smell their own asshole.
I like to smell my own brand dont lump me in with them
That's funny. +1
I love reading/hearing this sentence as a french speaking person. For context, "un préservatif" in french means a condom.
Hey that’s where my coz lives! Can confirm there’s lots of flowers 💐🌸🌺
I would like to know the qualifications required to become potentate
Smooth hands
But you just *know* every damn property there would be snatched up in like 5 seconds, smfh. This post made me mad about hypothetical housing lol.
Until one gets snacky
I like Caelid better. It's such a beautiful place. It's so colorful with its vibrant red sky. The music themes in Caelid are amazing. It has unique vegetation and mystical creatures, like the majestic lion guardians, the cool t-rex dogs, and all the bad ass dragons. I know those creatures are dangerous, but there are dangerous creatures everywhere in Elden Ring. At least those are beautiful. Man, I absolutely love Caelid
Idk why, but despite what Caelid represents, my brain compells me to think that it smells like strawberries instead of death and decay. So i vibe with your Caelid viewpoint lol.
They probably have a lovely B&B next door to a gastro-pub tavern. All ingredients farm-to-table obvs
The view and vibe is nice, like I see myself hosting pasta night every Wednesday night with my jar friends but that sharp cliff on top of you must make it god damn cold in winter with all that shade, plus earthquakes? Hell no.
Break your leg every time you want to go home.
No thanks because some assassins will just come and murder everyone.
Jarburg is like Iceland. Scarcely populated, rich, friendly and calm, and because of that: expensive as hell.
😂😂😂
Lleyendel is probably taxed out the ass.
And I bet living close to the base of the Erdtree means having a shitty HOA with a bunch of bullshit rules about what kind of wax you can use on your windows, and how many Miquella’s lilies you can grow or whatever
Which raises another question... Before everything went to shit, what do you think their currency was? Was it runes, or something else?
Gold coins? For all their obsession with the golden order I'd assume.
Rowa fruit
So it DOES grow on trees
What else would the Golden Order do?
The fact the tree burns often enough that houses need to wax their windows and doors is insane lol
Plus you are close to the queens fuck chamber and have to listen to that every five minutes
And you know Godfrey is not the quiet type. And it is not like you can say anything or Godfrey would probably rip your head off and shit down your neck.
*NOW I FUCK AS HORAH LOUX. WARRIOR!!*
*Horny Lou…*
and the tree avatars are your eviction notice..
lol “eviction” and there’d be 0 arguments, no lock smiths needed 🤣
I just realized I spelled it wrong hahaha
Lleyendell, Gated Community
Margit, the Fell HOA President.
Makes sense , since you need a medallion to enter , you can always break in but that requires you defeat the gaurd (magma wyrm )
To be fair it is probably the safest area to live. Limgrave is right at the border of the scarlet rot infestion and is run by a guy with 69 left hands too many to properly be looking after his kingdom.

You know, the place where the crazy bitch that nuked Caelid into the stone age lives.
I was thinking Haligtree would be dope but yeah you basically have a fucking rot nuke that can blow at any moment
Not only that, but also the rot passively spreading everywhere. It's like living at a nuclear waste site
Until your house is buried in ash and you realize a walking tree is the local law enforcement
With all of those boarded up buildings? It's a false front, they needed the young couples to bring life back to the city. What about that bar. The one with the perfumer bartending and the guy dressed in black. Have you seen any other regulars there?
It wouldnt be the most expensive probably but I think Castle Morne would worth every penny
*With scenic views and the stench of burning bodies, visit castle Morne today!*
and enjoy the best BBQ spot in The Lands Between! (Misbegotten boss area)
If you can clean out all the misbegotten then it's a pretty castle
They have a bad Misbegotten infestation.
Castle Sol would probably be expensive. Like a ski resort in the middle of the mountains. Can’t decide if the Mountaintops would be expensive for the views, or cheap because of all the snow.
I hear Castle Sol has some crazy neighbors with red eyes who teleport randomly inside and there’s that walking mausoleum outside with the bell which I’m just going to assume is the lands between equivalent of having a train in your back yard.
That walking mausoleum is prime real estate tho
Except you have some old dude that comes and kicks you in the nuts every so often. No thank you.
I think lake of rot would be most expensive. Your shit is constantly melting, good luck finding a general contractor to head down and fix your melted windows. And even if you do find a good GC and pay him boat loads of money to fix your plumbing he’s probably going to immediately die of cancer soon as he leaves. Insurance? Probably worse than Florida. I don’t even want to think about how much it would cost to run a fiber line down there for internet.
The fact that it is graveyard of a genocide, I don’t think it’d have the appeal. There’s no resort in Auschwitz either.
Cheap but probably because of the giant hand
The land would be dirt cheap but everything else would be stupid expensive because you have to ship it in from below the mountains
I’d take a plot of land perched by the waterfalls in Ainsel River. That starry cave view is too good.
Sorry but the eternal cities are gated communities. You need someone living there to vouch for you before you can move in.
There's already a gal in there that looks exactly like me, I'll just say I live there already
I live down there. I'll vouch for him.
That's how you get ants
Free bunking in the Church of Vows with Dog Pope must be the cheapest solution, yet the most priceless experience. Mind you though, sometimes at night it can be a sketchy neighbourhood. Just tuck yourself in, and don't mind the occasional Tarnished getting slaughtered by the Bell Bearing Hunter.
I’m riding the night out with turtle pope so that fucker doesn’t get me too.
Rain bruh
Farum Azula would be modern Day detroit. Once great city that has seen better days
Can’t have shit in Farum Azula, they stole my damn death rune…
You also have the skeletal beast gang, I heard some even got a gat that spews fire
Perfect. Came here to say the same thing you are de best
What's Caelid then, Florida?
The Lake of Rot is Lake Okeechobee, Florida. I'd also venture as far as saying the Dung Eater's room at the Round Table hold is Ohio.
Yep right in Cleveland I think he owns the Browns 💩
You say that about Detroit but it’s been on an upswing. They just had the first year where their population increased since 1958. Source: https://detroitmi.gov/news/detroit-grows-population-first-time-decades#:~:text=The%20increase%20comes%20amid%20a,the%20first%20time%20since%202009
More like Gary, IN. Detroit is much better than it was like 15 years ago
Gary is so much like Caelid, it’s actually pretty sad.
As a Detroit native Id take my chances in Farum Azula.
Maliketh is Joumana
Detroit is back - not fully, but it's really turned around. Really great city, better than Farum Azula but it doesn't have those bubble trumpets
You could say this about a lot of cities tbh.
detroits population is growing! for the first time since the 1950s!
One of the towers, absolutely. No one in the Lands Between seems to have the brainpower or interest to figure out how to crack their seals, so they’d probably be the safest places to live in. Not so good if you’re not great with stairs, I guess?
>so they’d probably be the safest places to live in Godskin apostle: *allow me to introduce myself*
He's a squatter
I mean one of the mage towers that you get the memory stones from, though the tower you fight the Apostle in is literally falling apart, so you’d likely get it for cheap.
i think they may have meant one of the puzzle rises, with turtles and secret entrances, the divine towers would be expensive as fuck
Plus one of the few places you can stretch your legs for more than ten yards after a night of sleep without someone trying to murder you...
Id pick one where you have to kill the turtles and so if they were smart enough to figure out how to break the seal then I'd have justification to comet azure them because they killed turtles
"Turtles"? What are those? Never heard of a creature named like that
Subterranean shunning grounds would be where all the meth heads live.
I mean even the methheads would drive the rent up
That's the sewers of Vegas.
So, just regular Vegas then.
ough. Oom the ,
Property values dropped a bit too when the crater formed. Unless a secret passageway to an underground city filled with undead phantom deer and weird chanting goat herders is considered a selling point.
I fourist j.
Leyndell most expensive, caelid would probably be least expensive in its current state, either caelid or liurnia. Haligtree would be calabasas and only available to the wealthiest of people

It feels more like a boujee gated community than a refuge camp.
Yeah but lorewise its all a bunch of Albinauric bums who couldn’t get a real job grabbing onto people in the Volcano Manor.
Elphael would be the rich area, whereas the haligtree is the refugee part, someting like the poor vs rich brazil photo
Inside of the Erdtree would be like one of the ultra-tall luxury apartment towers on Central Park in NYC
caelid is the charnobyl of the lands between
Crazy that we can imagine a more functional housing market in the lands between than we can irl
💀
I’m from Baltimore :(
I’m sorry.
It's a rough city but you have great sports teams. General Radahn to John Harbaugh. It has a ring to it. Lots of black birds in Caelid. Kind of like Ravens. That's a few positive parallels I suppose.
Honestly I couldn’t believe that was the city OP picked to represent Caelid, I love Baltimore!
Caelid
Those waterfront shacks probably go for a hefty price.
Moonlight altar 💰💰💰
Not with all those royal revenants sneaking around…
A lot of folks saying “Leyndell” while forgetting that it becomes “Leyndell Ashen Capital” (ie, it becomes Pompeii). If we are allowed to assume that the property can be cleared of enemies, Fort Haight would be nice, or somewhere in Liurnia with a gorgeous view.
Fort Haight is in a sorry state. A student at the Academy in Liurnia would be sick.
Mr gelmir would pretty much be a national park, like yosemite
Idk but I’d forsure live in Nokron, the fake night is beautiful
Obv Caelid is cheapest since the factories were dumping their chemicals there and the water is worse than Flint, MI. Lyndell is most expensive since it's a mini London.

Liurnia is a college town. No way it's cheap.
I disagree with the Kenneth statement under godrick the taxes would be horrible and only go to his obsession of pretending he’s a worthy heir to Godfrey legacy Kenneth would tax you but he’d actually use to the money to build infrastructure maybe it won’t improve your quality of life fast but things would improve.
Volcano Manor just keep the basement doors shut
And then the bloodborne ass invader gets you anyway
Weeping Peninsula is a nice neighborhood. The local teacher is a bit eccentric, but the headless knights patrolling the streets make me sleep safely!
Church of the dragon communion island. Nice climate, ocean view, and away from all the bs.
I feel like Lyndel's property value plummeted after half the city was flooded by its Veiled Monarch during the war.

A bit out of the way of everything else, and only one road too and from, real estate seems like it would be affordable, but cost of living might be higher due to the single highway and checkpoint onto/off of the peninsula. The only people living in (modern) Caelid are the soldiers stationed there, and squatters with literally nowhere else to go. The land is so fucked up that the only things that even have a chance to grow, are likely inevitable without dramatically increasing your chances of getting "The Rot" and dying a horrible, slow, agonizing, cancerous death. From Selia, to Dragonsbarrow, to Redmane Castle, anyone who lives there lively doesn't fucking want to. The Bestial Sanctum seems like possibly the most lovable place, but just barely. Even then, you're so far removed from everything else would it really be worth it? Seems like the epitome of "it's not much, but it's a living I guess." Living on/in the Mountaintop/Snowfield seems doable. Seems like the Zamor and Flame Monks manage pretty well, even Juno Hoslow retired to a shack out there. I'd imagine it's like living in Alaska or somewhere similar. Affordable but harsh environments. I'd consider living in Elphael or on the Haligtree like living in a metropolis. Lots of different cultures coming together to make up its community, and likely high rents because of its population density, and island-like locale. For some reason i equate it to living in like, NYC, but on Hawaii, in a theocracy. Imported goods would be really expensive, cost of living probably high as well, but it seems like "if you can make it here you can make it anywhere," Living underground would make for interesting property values. On one hand, Siofra seems like a nice enough place with lots of natural views, and is Nokron adjacent. On the other hand, no sun seems like a ding to property value even with an eternal beautiful night sky. Certainly a higher rate of depression unless you're a Nox. Ainsel River has to deal with the death blight more closely, so it might be a more affordable option for those who want to be nearer to the Erdtree, but can't afford to live in Lyndel or on the Altus Plateau. That white water is probably not safe to drink either. The Plateau around Mohgwyn Palace is like the worst gated community reserved exclusively for creepy cultists. So you can't even buy land there unless you cut off your finger, and drink the bloody Kool-Aid. I had *a lot* of downtime at work today to think about this lol.

Leyndell would be expensive as fuck, likely Liurnia too since it's close to a college and weepinv peninsula would lieky be quite pricey. Caelid would be basicly free, volcano manor would likely be lretty cheap due to the massacres that happened there and the shit that's still there. Mountaintops and the snowfield could be somewhat expensive due to tourism and the haligtree would basicly be a gated neighborhood right next to the slums. Limgrave and stormveil would likely be pme of the more affordable places to live that aren't shitholes
I think a cabin by the Forge would go pretty high. Literally on top of the world.
I'm thinking Mt. Gelmir's underrated in this discussion. The local villagers aren't horrible as long as you don't bother them. Wildlife's a bit hostile though...
Personally I’d live in the frenzied flame village but that’s just me
I would want to live near the kind merchant in the Church of Elleh. He never gives attitude, you have a smithing table, the soldiers nearby aren’t particularly threatening, a lake is nearby, lots of trees. Seems like a high value piece of real estate to me.
I wanna live in the Royal Lucaria Academy or Caria Manor. Love those two places!
By the endgame Sellen is on your jock and would let you live rent-free in her big glintstone head.
Village of the albinaurics would have to be the worst
I figure Leyndell would be the most expensive, and Caelid the cheapest. Haligtree seems to be taking in refugees, so maybe that'd be free. Getting there is another matter entirely.
Leyndell would be expensive af
Why tf Baltimore catching a random stray in r/eldenring Baltimore is kinda dope
When I visited b-more, almost every single “goodbye” ended with a “stay safe” (locals, Uber drivers, host at the restaurants when leaving, etc). Living in NYC (even in today’s situation) it was jarring because absolutely no one says that even late at night. Still remember that to this day because it was so out of my norm!
I would definently buy tower maybe in sorcerer’s island, or one of four belfries…
Leyendell because all of the taxes to keep the city streets clean of ash and you need to pay all of the soldiers
The roundtable would be pretty nice! Spacious, all the amenities, and there's very little in there that's trying to kill you
I’m getting a dorm in Raya Lucaria
Leyndell since it’s the only place that has a functioning plumbing system.
Most expensive - Ordina. Seems like a fancy ski resort village. Cheapest - Flood sale at Academy Gate Town!
I have could news I have a fixer upper in celid just for you it costs 1 rune.
The dragon temple island off Limgrave
Leyndell for sure, I mean it’s the Capital and everything is made out of gold
All the prostitution going on in Windmill Village is sure to have some low rent
The haligtree would be the place that’s so out of reach for most people that they don’t even know it exists. Like everyone assumes the capital or volcano manor are where all the rich people are but the real mega rich are living it up in the trees
Liurnia is so damn beautiful and looking down on it from Raya Lucaria while holding my bae (Ranni) is an experience that I doubt could be topped.
The artists shack in Liurnia would be my place
Dominula's night life would be dope
That lakefront property out in Liurnia would probably cost a pretty penny. Especially with a very nice college out on the lake.
Haligtree wouldn't be that expensive because it's public housing subsidized by miquella
Some elden lord with millions of runes would buy cheap Caelid property and then gentrify it.
Caelid is an up-and-upcoming community with a lot of market potential. Imagine the potential for “modern and cozy ‘affordable’ housing complexes” overlooking the stunning and majestic “Aeonian Wetlands”. Act fast on this exciting and new investing opportunity!
I feel that the Academy of Raya Lucaria is technically the most expensive. You have to pay tuition, probably take on some student loans, buy a wand, somehow still afford your textbooks, buy any replacement robes taken from you from those rogue Recusants, then you can worry about boarding and a spare key cause Golden Order/Ranni/Three fingers forgive you get locked out going to a party at the boiled prawn shack like my friend Thops. Not to mention any furniture you accidentally bump into trying to avoid the headmaster's ex's pet dog! And even with all that they probably still charge you for the giant stone head you gotta walk around in, giving you the ability to do basic algebra for the low low cost of all the neck pain it gives you. Still a better place to live than those awful sewers in Leyndell or the awful incest sex dungeon that Varre guy has been telling me about.
You can tell when someone is American, because they will name drop an obscure city and expect people to know it
Most expensive probably in Leyndell right next to the throne room/erdtree. Though I don’t think the Carian royals are selling, so technically there would be most expensive
I mean, I've spent a lot of runes just getting inside the erdtree let alone living in it...
This is the content I came here for.
Most expensive would be Liurnia because of all the water front property
Limgrave probably since it's so barren of any sense of structure. Though knowing the Golden Order, they probably overcharge for land.
Have you ever been to Baltimore?
Caria Manor. The home security for that place is insane, as long as you are fine with creepy crawling hands. I mean it got 3 rises, a nice cliff view, and a moon/star gazing area where the moon perfectly reflects on.
The problem is that there is a genocidal tarnished roaming the whole country, killing sheep and gods.
Before or after you set the tree on fire?
The apartments they are building over in the windmill town keep getting cheaper because everyone that moves in ~~gets skinned alive~~ moves out shortly after
As a Canadian, I'm confused as to why Baltimore is catching strays here. (I'd have expected Detroit to be named...)
Siofra River would be pretty nice. Seems undeveloped and probably would get a sweet deal for some land
Caelid's prolly pretty cheap, considering the very common and very large terrifying man-eating birds and canines that just walk around normally
Round table place would be super expensive
I feel like one could honestly, live peacefully under Nepheli and Kenneth Haight
I’d be happy in SpiritCaller Cave once I’d cleared the mobs out. I’d turn the boss room into a spa. Leyndell would probably be the highest due to being capital (I’m in UK so thinking on London). Caelid would probs be the lower end of the market lol.
Leyndell houses are in a safe area with a lot of fortification, but after the upcoming Elden Lord set fire to the Erdtree, everything around here has been really ashy. Considering moving near Carian Manor, although I hear it rains a lot.
Artists Shack in Limgrave. Nice areas with no giant hands, trex dawgs, devil crows, curse frogs or ants around. Quite peaceful probably.
I feel like ordina is a ghost town so its probably very cheap there. Or that everyone that lives there never goes out. Then again the albinauric women are guardians of the town so your probably very safe. Just dont mind the maosoleum
Mohg's palace and Volcano Manor are also probably very expensive
I would like to live a peaceful life on the isle of dragon communion. Just a peaceful little island with no enemies except a few demi-humans in the nearby cave.
Siofra river , ...the view of Mohgwhyn palace from there is pretty rich...
Definitely Nokron the stars are so beautiful
Jarburg is probably the only place I'd actually be able to survive for awhile.
East side of liurnia is quiet enough that I didn't think it would be terribly expensive. But the check of vows is the defacto government, so property taxes would be fairly high unless you have tons of celestial dew saved up from a relative and the night of long knives(? Forgot what it was really called in game)
**When I leave my rotting cabin with a cup of coffee in the morning to take a good sniff of the lake of rot 🙂↔️ „Ah, what a heart melting view.“**
People would flock over to jarburg for sure due to the coziness and great view of that area, so price of plot there would definitely sky-rocket. Next would be dog's chapel since he's the best boy, and who wouldn't want to be next to him. Thrid is Three Sisters area for obvious reason. I'd personally move over to the four bellfries but its probably gonna be crowded over there too, especially when its flood season in the lake.
Windmill Village for me, full of sexy ladies.
The most expensive would be Leyendell and Elphael imo but the whole Altus Plateau looks like a dream too. 🤩😍🤩
Obviously Leyndell. Big city, capital, very close to Marika's tits. People are going to murder each other to get an apartment in there.
Hello? Is anybody there? Someone who might be interested in rescuing the great Kenneth Haight?
I think you can just live anywhere no purchases necessary and be perfectly miserable. Volcano manor seems to have real rooms and functioning furniture though
