House Facts- There are 6 different types of houses you can build: A-Frame, Duplex, Condo, Craftsman, Georgian, and Apartments.
- The A-Frame provides the best return on sale. Otherwise, all houses are equal in terms of return per unit of material.
- Each house type from the Craftsman through the Georgian is double the cost and return of the previous. 1 Georgian = 2 Condos, 1 Condo = 2 Craftsmans, 1 Craftsman = 2 Duplexes.
- 1 Duplex = 2 A-Frames for rent, but only 1.5 A-Frames in sales value.
- The Apartments are approximately double the Georgians, but with some variation. They require slightly more than double the amount of materials. They return slightly more than double the rent as first constructed, but return less than double the amount of rent at the 3-Star level. Use Apartments to maximize the amount of cash you earn, not the amount of profit.
- Any house can have its rent and sale price increased or decreased depending on what it is next to. Recreation facilities increase the value of the surrounding properties. Power generators and commercial Buildings reduce it. Shops have a neutral effect.
- The star upgrades a house has, the more painting or landscaping will increase its value. This is why painting is the best thing you can do for a house in terms of investment. It always costs the same, but it gives you increasingly higher returns as the house is upgraded.
- Painting and landscaping cost the same and provide the same bonus.
- There is a bug in the game. If you have already painted a house and you hover the cursor over the landscape button, it will not show you the landscape bonus. However, if you both paint and landscape a house, you do get a double bonus.
- Adding Energy Savers do not affect the rent or sales value of a house. They just reduce its power consumption.

- Duplex Tip: You get more value for your money building and selling A-Frames. A Duplex requires twice as many materials, but only sells for 50% more. However, the rent on a Duplex is twice that of an A-Frame, which at least isn’t any worse. There are few occasions when a Duplex, unless specified in a Goal, is worth building. If you need to build cheap houses, build A-Frames. If you need to earn rent, build Condos or better.

Building Facts- There are 5 different kinds of Buildings: Recycle Center, Workshop, Tech Center, Business Center, and Garden Center.
- Since the Recycling Center only takes 600 materials to build and cuts the cost of materials by 50%, it’s worth building any time you have the time and the lot and you need to buy more than 1200 units of materials.
Recycling Center:
- Requires 5 workers and 600 materials to construct.
- -15 Appeal to the neighborhood for the lot is on, plus another -15 Appeal for any house that is on a lot next to it.
- Reduces cost of materials by 50%.
- Allows reuse of some materials from demolished structures.
Workshop- Requires 3 workers and 900 materials to build.
- -15 Appeal to the neighborhood for the lot is on, plus another -15 Appeal for any house that is on a lot next to it.
- Reduces the cost of training new workers by 50%.
- Makes it possible to buy Lightning Efficiency for $75,000 which makes workers work much faster for building, painting, star upgrades, and landscapes. Does not affect the speed of Energy Savers.
- Allows you to do inspections, which save significantly on cost and time by eliminating the need for repairs.
- Note that buildings that are inspected will stay inspected even if the Workshop is torn down, but you will lose Lightning Efficiency as soon as the Workshop is gone.
Garden Center- Requires 5 workers and 1200 materials to build.
- -15 Appeal to the neighborhood for the lot is on, plus another -15 Appeal for any house that is on a lot next to it.
- Automatically maintains any recreation facilities you have built, reducing time and materials to keep them clean.
- Allows you to landscape houses you own, which increases their value.
Tech Center- Requires 6 workers and 1200 materials to build.
- -15 Appeal to the neighborhood for the lot is on, plus another -15 Appeal for any house that is on a lot next to it.
- Reduces the cost of training new technicians by 50%.
- Makes it possible to buy Genius Training for $75,000 which makes Technicians work much faster when adding Energy Savers. Does not affect the speed of any other kind of work.
- Allows you to supercharge power generators by permanently assigning a Technician to them. This increases the amount of power generated by that structure and saves time and money by eliminating the need for repairs.
Business Center- Requires 5 workers and 1500 materials to build.
- -15 Appeal to the neighborhood for the lot is on, plus another -15 Appeal for any house that is on a lot next to it.
- Automatically maintains any shops you have built, reducing time and workers needed.
- Allows you to make a shop Fancy. This increases the amount of cash earned in each cycle.
Shop Facts- There are 4 different kinds of Shops you can build: Bakery, Boutique, Grocery Store, and Cinema.
- To make them Fancy, you must own the Business Center.
- Smaller shops earn less cash, but also use less power.
- Although shops have a listed "value," you can’t sell them.
- The earning cycle for a shop is slower than the earning cycle for a house, but shops generally return more.
- Shops have a minimum income per cycle, but will earn more when there are more houses in the neighborhood. For example, a Fancy Cinema has a minimum income of $16,000 per cycle, but can easily earn $150,000 per cycle or more in a neighborhood with 8 or 10 houses.
- Even adding just a couple of A-Frames can double the income from a shop.
Bakery- Requires 1500 materials and 5 workers to build.
- Requires 1,000 materials and 3 workers to make Fancy.
- Minimum (no houses in the neighborhood) earns 2,000 dollars per cycle regular, 4,000 dollars if Fancy.
Boutique- Requires 1800 materials and 5 workers to build.
- Requires 500 materials and 2 workers to make Fancy. That’s not a typo;apparently they start out pretty "fancy" to begin with.
- Minimum (no houses in the neighborhood) earns 4,000 dollars per cycle regular, 8,000 dollars if Fancy.
Grocery Store- Requires 2,000 materials and 7 workers to build.
- Requires 1,500 materials and 4 workers to make Fancy.
- Minimum (no houses in the neighborhood) earns 6,000 dollars per cycle regular, 12,000 dollars if Fancy.
Cinema- Requires 2,500 materials and 9 workers to build.
- Requires 2,000 materials and 6 workers to make Fancy.
- Minimum (no houses in the neighborhood) earns 8,000 dollars per cycle regular, 16,000 dollars if Fancy.
Recreation Facts- There are 4 kinds of recreations facilities (also called "recreations" in the game): Tennis Court, Public Pool, Amphitheater.
- A recreation facility adds positive Appeal points for the lot it is on, plus the same number of points for each of the surrounding houses that it influences.
- If there are recreation facilities on each side of a house, the house will get credit for both Appeal boosts.
Tennis Court- Requires 500 materials and 4 workers to construct. +10 Appeal points.
Public Pool- Requires 750 materials and 5 workers to construct. +15 Appeal points.
Mini-Golf- Requires 1000 materials and 6 workers to construct. +20 Appeal points.
Amphitheater- Requires 1500 materials and 7 workers to construct. +25 Appeal points.
Power Generator Facts- There are 4 different kind of power generators you can build: Wind Farm, Solar Tower, Hydro Turbine, and Nuclear Reactor.
- A recreation facility adds positive Appeal points for the lot it is on, plus the same number of points for each of the surrounding houses that it influences.
- Normally you will want to place power generators so that they do not negatively impact lots where you will build houses.
- However, if you want to buy expensive houses, putting power generators next to them will lower their price.
Wind Farm- Shop value = $500,000, 3 workers, 750 materials, Appeal -10
Solar Power- Shop value = $750,000, 5 workers, 1,500 materials, Appeal -20
Hydro Turbine- Shop value = $1,000,000, 7 workers, 2,500 materials, Appeal -30. Riverside lot required
Nuclear- Shop value = $1,500,000, 9 workers, 5,000 materials, Appeal -40
