Information
The following thread includes information about each private property residential or otherwise available throughout Karakura. It will also include information about available watercraft and residences in-game which you can purchase permanently for you and your friends to enjoy, or even rent to others in some cases. The options for private residential properties is ever-changing and this thread will be updated to reflect this.
Table of Contents
Houses, Dorms & ApartmentsHouses and Apartments are the only rented properties found in Karakura. They can be found throughout every district in Karakura and typically range from ¥15,000 to ¥300,000 per month. All of these properties range in shapes and sizes, each house having its own unique floor, and each apartment being completely customisable. Whilst apartments are ideal for the everyday joe, a house is a ideal for families and large groups of friends, so shop around and find whatever suits your needs!
Dorms are only available to students of Karakura High & Community College, each available for just ¥1,000/hour for a maximum of 6 hours. Each interior comes pre-built and has a sleek design, similar to the beach houses; these are perfect for newer players, or players who cannot afford to purchase their own apartment just yet. Private Dorms are also available for School Sports Team members at ¥15,000/month.
You can see all available houses, share houses, and apartments in the Estate Agent in Karakura at 1770x 17y 1350z.

Watercraft
Boats are a luxury residence used primarily for leisure purposes with various types of watercraft you can privately own, you can find the boat that's right for you and your friends; the boats available are Sailboat, Small Yacht, and Yacht. Yachts typically have 2-3 rooms and enough space for small groups to roleplay inside, or even host a party with friends.
Upon purchasing a boat with in-game money, you are guaranteed permanent ownership of it until you're offline for longer than 1 month in which case you may be at risk of losing your boat. Ownership of these watercrafts can be passed onto others for a transfer fee so that it's fair to the rest of the community who would be missing out on the opportunity to own the property due to its ownership change.
