You’ve got gold burning a hole in your pocket and nowhere to stash your loot. Time to buy a house. But not all homes in Oblivion Remastered are worth your hard-earned septims. Some come with perks, others come with... skeletons in the closet—literally.
Here’s a look at the best homes you can claim, regardless of if you want a cozy shack or a full-blown castle.
Benirus Manor (Anvil) – Best Value for Your Gold
Benirus Manor costs 5,000 gold and comes with a side of ghost trouble. Clear out the undead, and you’ll have a spacious, fully furnished home right by Anvil’s vendors and guilds. No need to spend extra on upgrades—the quest handles that for free.
Rosethorn Hall (Skingrad) – The Luxury Option
If you’re rich and want everyone to know it, Rosethorn Hall is your place. It’s massive, comes with a maid, and has room for every trophy you’ll ever collect. Just be ready to spend 25,000 gold plus upgrade costs. A great fit for vampires or show-offs.
Arborwatch (Chorrol) – Simple, but Reliable
Arborwatch offers peace and quiet in Chorrol, along with a servant who whips up special food and gives you a free ring. It’s a solid mid-tier choice, but don’t expect much flair—and yes, there’s no fireplace.
DLC Homes – For Players Who Want More
Battlehorn Castle gives you a fortress. Frostcrag Spire is perfect for mages needing a tower packed with magical goodies. Both are powerful bases, but they’re far from city life. Great if you prefer isolation or just want to flex with a private stronghold.
Imperial City Shack – When Gold is Tight
If your budget is closer to “peasant” than “noble,” the Waterfront Shack is waiting. It’s tiny and unimpressive, but it’s cheap and right in the heart of the Imperial City.
Final Blurb
If you want value, grab Benirus Manor and enjoy your ghost-free home after a quick exorcism. If gold isn’t an issue, Rosethorn Hall will make you feel like Cyrodiil’s elite. Or just claim a castle and enjoy life far away from nosy neighbors. Either way, it beats sleeping in an inn.
