The '''house''' is the player's personal dwelling in their [[town]]. At the beginning of each game, the [[player]] arrives to town and purchases their new home from [[Tom Nook]] through a mortgage plan. When the loan is paid off, Tom Nook offers to expand the house by increasing the room size or by adding new rooms. Each extension results in a new loan to pay for the construction.

'''Exterior:''' In most games the exterior appearance is fixed, though the player can change the color of the roof. In {{PG}} the player can place a custom design on the door, and special decorations are received upon completing the museum's insect and fish exhibits. In {{CF|short}}, Tom Nook gifts a flag to the player after paying off their entire mortgage, and the design of the flag can be customised. In {{NL|short}}, the player can purchase a variety of different architectural pieces from [[Nook's Homes]] to customise their house with. In all games a [[mailbox]] is situated right next to the front door.

Houses in {{PG}} consist of a ground-level room, upstairs room, and basement. The lights can be toggled on and off by pressing the Z Button. A custom design can be displayed on the front door. Completing the [[museum]]'s insect and fish exhibits yields the addition of a butterfly ornament or a weathervane, respectively.

[[Animal Island]] contains a bungalow that the player can freely inhabit and customize similarly to their house. {{DnMe+}} adds a final loan repayment in which each player can purchase their own [[Animal Island|private island]] with their own personal bungalow. After paying off all loans, Tom Nook will gift the player with a statue in front of the Train Station. The first player to pay their loans will receive a large gold statue, the second a smaller silver statue, the third an even smaller bronze statue, and the last will receive a tiny jade statue.

All players in {{WW}} share a single house which randomly located in the town (based somewhat on the responses given to [[Kapp'n]] during the initial taxi ride). The house always begins with a Common Wall and Common Floor. The house's mailbox is shared by each player living in the house, though each player can only access their own mail. An attic is located on the highest floor of the house, in which the player can save the game. The roof color can be changed by purchasing cans of paint from [[Tom Nook]].

Upon arriving to town the player may select where they wish their house to be located. Before the house can be built however, a tent will be erected for the player as temporary lodgings (until paying a 10,000 [[Bell]] down payment to Tom Nook). Compared to a house, the wallpaper and carpet of the tent cannot be modified.

At the beginning of {{NH|short|nolink}}, the player starts off living in a tent. Much like living in a tent in {{NL|short|nolink}}, the interior cannot be customized until a house is built. The location of the tent is up to the player and may be relocated later in the game when the Resident Services building is established. Pitching the tent as well as subsequent relocations requires a 5x4 plot of land.

[[Tom Nook]] also allows the player to customize their house. Every expansion offers a complimentary roof repainting to player's choice, and the exterior can be modified for a fee of 5,000 Bells. Any exterior changes will be reflected on the following day. For the first time, the mailbox can be picked up, allowing the player to relocate it to another place of choice. Fully paying off the house loans will permanently waive the exterior fee, allowing a lifetime of free housing customization. For all customization options, see [[House customization]].

The house is the player's personal dwelling in the Animal Crossing series. At the beginning of each game, the player arrives to town (island in New Horizons) and purchases their new home from Tom Nook through a mortgage plan. When the loan is paid off, Tom Nook offers to expand the house by increasing the room size or by adding new rooms. Each extension results in a new loan to pay for the construction.

The house can be furnished with a variety of items, and the carpet and wallpaper can be changed. Clothing and custom designs can be placed in the house as well. The Happy Home Academy will periodically inspect the player's house and grade them based on the contents of each room. A complete collection of a specific set, series, or theme results in a higher score. High scores are rewarded with exclusive items as prizes. The mailbox, where the player can receive mail, is usually directly outside the front door, but in New Horizons, the mailbox can be picked up and placed anywhere once the player's house is upgraded enough.

If a player does not play the game for some time, the house will become infested with cockroaches. The player can squash them to remove the infestation, though they try to evade the player. Cockroaches can be exposed by either moving or removing furniture from the house.

Parts of a house[edit]

Player House PG Map Icon.png

Exterior: In most games the exterior appearance is fixed, though the player can change the color of the roof. In Animal Crossing, the player can place a custom design on the door, and special decorations are received upon completing the museum's insect and fish exhibits. In City Folk, Tom Nook gifts a flag to the player after paying off their entire mortgage, and the design of the flag can be customized. In New Leaf, the player can purchase a variety of different architectural pieces from Nook's Homes to customize their house with. Similarly, in New Horizons, the player can modify various aspects of the house exterior such as the shape, roof, door, etc. by talking to Tom Nook in Resident Services. In all games, a mailbox is situated right next to the front door. In New Horizons, the mailbox can be picked up and placed anywhere once the player's house has been upgraded enough.

Interior: Initially the interior of the house consists of a single room, but a second-story and a basement can be added. In some games, additional wings can added to the sides and rear of the house. Furniture can be placed anywhere within the rooms of the house. In New Leaf and New Horizons, certain items can be placed on the walls of each room, and in New Horizons some can even be hung from the ceiling.

Attic: Only appearing in Wild World and City Folk, the attic is the highest floor of the house. It contains four beds in Wild World, and one bed per house in City Folk, where players sleep to save the game, and a telephone from which the game's options can be selected and modified. No furniture can be placed here, although the beds can be swapped out for different ones.

Appearances[edit]

In Animal Crossing[edit]

All four player houses are located together in a square south of the train station, with the bulletin board residing in the center of the square. Each house initially has a different kind of wallpaper and carpet, and all four contain a tape deck, a orange box and a college rule journal. Outside of each house is a Gyroid, which the player must use in order to save the game.

Houses in Animal Crossing consist of a ground-level room, upstairs room, and basement. The lights can be toggled on and off by pressing the Z Button. A custom design can be displayed on the front door. Completing the museum's insect and fish exhibits yields the addition of a butterfly ornament or a weathervane, respectively.

The roof color can be changed by purchasing cans of paint from Tom Nook or by making a wish to Wisp. Tom Nook also will repaint the roof to a color of the player's choice each time he expands the house (excluding the basement addition). Villagers can also randomly offer to paint a player's house when they speak to them, but they may not give a choice of color.

Several expansions can be purchased from Tom Nook, who will offer to increase either the size of the rooms or add additional floors. The amount of debt corresponds to the actual upgrade made and not the order it is in. Houses in Doubutsu no Mori only feature a single room, so additional floor expansions are not available.

  • Initial house: 19,800 Bells to pay off (first floor is 4 by 4 spaces)
  • First expansion: 148,000 Bells to pay off (first floor is expanded to 6 by 6 spaces)
  • First add-on expansion: 49,800 Bells to pay off (basement [8 by 8 spaces] is added; cannot be expanded; cannot change wallpaper or floor)
  • Second expansion: 398,000 Bells to pay off (first floor is expanded to 8 by 8 spaces)
  • Second add-on and final expansion: 798,000 Bells to pay off (second floor [6 by 6 spaces] is added)
  • The total cost is 1,410,800 Bells

Animal Island contains a bungalow that the player can freely inhabit and customize similarly to their house. Doubutsu no Mori e+ adds a final loan repayment in which each player can purchase their own private island with their own personal bungalow. After paying off all loans, Tom Nook will gift the player with a statue in front of the train station. The first player to pay their loans will receive a large gold statue, the second a smaller silver statue, the third an even smaller bronze statue, and the last will receive a tiny jade statue.

In Wild World[edit]

All players in Animal Crossing: Wild World share a single house, which randomly located in the town (based somewhat on the responses given to Kapp'n during the initial taxi ride). The house always begins with a Common Wall and Common Floor. The house's mailbox is shared by each player living in the house, though each player can only access their own mail. An attic is located on the highest floor of the house, in which the player can save the game. The roof color can be changed by purchasing cans of paint from Tom Nook.

A maximum of 24 furniture and clothing items can be placed in each room of the house. The only items that can be placed in the attic are beds, which the player can switch out.

For the first time, additional wings were introduced to accommodate the increase in occupants, however there is no option to have a basement.

  • Initial house: 19,800 Bells to pay off (first floor is 4 by 4 spaces)
  • First expansion: 120,000 Bells to pay off (first floor is expanded to 6 by 6 spaces)
  • Second expansion: 298,000 Bells to pay off (first floor is expanded to 8 by 8 spaces)
  • Third expansion: 598,000 Bells to pay off (second floor [6 by 6 spaces] is added)
  • Fourth expansion: 728,000 Bells to pay off (left room [6 by 6 spaces] is added to first floor)
  • Fifth expansion: 848,000 Bells to pay off (right room [6 by 6 spaces] is added to first floor)
  • Sixth and final expansion: 948,000 Bells to pay off (back room [6 by 6 spaces] added to first floor). For this one, players do not need to pay off the mortgage as they already have a full-sized house.
  • The total cost is 3,559,800 Bells

A basement is no longer part of the expansion, as storage units can hold up to 90 items. Also, when the house owners fully expand and fully pay off their house, there is no reward, making house owners refuse to pay off their final mortgage.

In City Folk[edit]

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, each player has their own house once again, all of which are randomly located around town. After paying off all loans, Tom Nook will gift them their own personal flagpole. The design of the flag can be customized using the phone in the attic.

A maximum of 64 furniture and clothing items can be placed in each room of the house. The player's personal storage space can contain 160 items.

  • Initial house: 19,800 Bells to pay off (first floor is 4 by 4 spaces)
  • First expansion: 120,000 Bells to pay off (first floor is expanded to 6 by 6 spaces)
  • Second expansion: 248,000 Bells to pay off (first floor is expanded to 8 by 8 spaces)
  • Third expansion: 368,000 Bells to pay off (second floor [6 by 6 spaces] is added)
  • Fourth and final expansion: 598,000 Bells to pay off (basement [8 by 8 spaces] is added)
  • After paying off the final mortgage, the player will have a flag outside their house, as a free gift from Tom Nook. The design can be changed by calling Rover in the attic and selecting "Flag Design."
  • The total cost is 1,353,800 Bells

In New Leaf[edit]

Upon arriving in town the player may select where they wish their house to be located. Before the house can be built however, a tent will be erected for the player as temporary lodgings (until paying a 10,000 Bell down payment to Tom Nook). Compared to a house, the wallpaper and carpet of the tent cannot be modified.

For the first time certain kinds of furniture can be hung on the wall, and Nook's Homes sells parts that let the player customize the exterior of their house, including the fence and mailbox. When the player is inside their own house, villagers they are friends with may randomly knock and enter the player's house uninvited.

With Welcome amiibo, clothing can be adorned on the walls and a new Secret Storeroom expansion is introduced. Lottie will also give a seminar to the player, allowing them to arrange furniture using the touch screen similar to the controls in Happy Home Designer.

A maximum of 48 furniture and clothing items can be placed in each room of the house. The player's personal storage space can contain 180 items. The Secret Storeroom can contain 360 items.

The Museum contains exhibition rooms that the player can purchase and customize in a similar fashion to their house.

Paying off all mortgage payments unlocks theme challenges set by the Happy Home Academy, and scoring highly in these unlocks golden exterior parts for the player's house. Tom Nook will also express his gratitude by singing a song in Raccoonish.

In New Horizons[edit]

At the beginning of New Horizons, the player starts off living in a tent. Much like living in a tent in New Leaf, the interior cannot be customized until a house is built. The location of the tent is up to the player and may be relocated later in the game when the Resident Services building is established. Pitching the tent as well as subsequent relocations requires a 5x4 plot of land.

Carried over from Happy Home Designer is the ability to place furniture freely, as well as placing them on half-spaces. Wall furniture can also be hung on the wall at any height as seen fit. For the first time, the mailbox can also be picked up, allowing the player to relocate it to another place of choice.

Tom Nook also allows the player to customize their house. Every expansion offers a complimentary roof repainting to the player's choice, and the exterior can be modified for a fee of  5,000 Bells. However, the customization requires the third home expansion. Any exterior changes will be reflected on the following day. Fully paying off the house loans will permanently waive the exterior fee, allowing a lifetime of free housing customization. Additional storage upgrades can also be provided for a fee, and must be paid directly to Tom Nook in full. For all customization options, see House customization.
