# What Is It For?

Your Starter Apartment gives your character somewhere consistent to return to.

It's a place to:

* Store belongings
* Relax between activities
* Establish a home base
* Begin building your character's life
* Stay while saving toward future housing
* Create a little personal space of your own

<Info>
  ### You Don't Need Your Dream Home on Day One

  Your first apartment is exactly that — **your first apartment**.

  Build your character's career, save money, meet people, and move into something bigger when the story makes sense.

# From Apartment to Homeowner

Tinsel Towers doesn't have to be your character's permanent home.

As your character progresses, you may eventually decide to pursue something different.

Maybe that's:

* A larger apartment
* A house
* A luxury property
* A home closer to work
* A place shared with someone else
* Something that better fits how your character has developed

<Tip>
  Let housing become part of your character's progression.

  Moving from a small starter apartment into a better property feels much more meaningful when your character actually worked their way there.

Learning the roads.

Figuring out where everything is.
