isn't exactly a cozy home decorating game, yet there are several different apartments that V can call home over the course of their time in the game. V begins with one default apartment but has many options open up to them, including one that is part of the DLC deep in the heart of Dogtown. Each of these possible living quarters varies drastically in location, comfort, style, and cost, including a few that are free, particularly those related to romantic relationships with NPCs.
Apartments in do not come with decorating or customization options, except for a few purchasable upgrades to the starting apartment which V has at the start of the game. Having access to these homes is useful, however, with inventory stashes, weapon racks, and mirrors to customize the character's appearance. Additionally, using the interactive items in the apartments can grant helpful buffs. For example, taking a shower will provide the Refreshed buff, sleeping in bed will give the Rested buff, and brewing coffee will give the Energized buff.
The Dogtown apartment is free for V, as long as the player owns the DLC. It is provided after the "" mission and is located on Elizabeth Kress Street. While free is a good thing, living in the lawless area of Dogtown is not an ideal place to be, and this apartment is about as bad as one would imagine.

Players will only be able to romance River if playing as the female body type V.
Judy is another romance option for V in, but players can obtain her apartment for free regardless of whether they choose to take the intimate route with her. After finishing Judy's relationship quest, "," Judy states that she is leaving Night City for good and plans to move to Oregon, where her grandparents live. When leaving, she will gift her apartment to V, but if there is a romance happening between Judy and V, then players will find Judy waiting there when they arrive. It is a rundown and messy place, but offers all the necessities needed in a home.
Likely one of the smallest apartments in, the Northside Apartment is available to V at a price of 10,000 Eddies. Though small, and not in the best neighborhood, it is at least a

's 2.1 update has included several new changes, and while it makes one aspect of the game much harder, it greatly improves its portrayal of one particular character: Adam Smasher.

It is always fun to be able to come across some secret, hidden side jobs and events in a game like , and there are a lot of them tucked away in different nooks and crannies of Night City and Dogtown.
