Overview[]
Housing is a feature inside of Driving Empire that has been within the game since the release of Wayfort ALPHA. Before the Housing Update, players could claim homes by clicking on the "FOR SALE" sign located at the front of the house. The player also had the ability to move out of their current home by clicking the red home button on the bottom right of their screen if they chose to. Though, players weren't able to interact with interior of the house.
In the Housing Update, the feature was completely revamped featuring eight different home blueprints that the player can purchase ranging in plot size, square feet, number of bed and bathrooms, and garage space. Once they've purchased a home blueprint from the shop, they can drive or teleport to the revamped neighborhood and claim different size plots to spawn different size houses they purchased from the blueprint shop. However, the player can only claim one plot in this location to spawn a house. Players should also note that there is a 30 second countdown between claiming other house plots in the neighborhood. Inside the houses, the player can interact with many of the items such as doors, lights, beds, sinks, and other miscellaneous commodities. They can also invite friends to become roommates and hang out within their home.

Trivia[]
- There are 25 small plots, 8 medium plots, and 16 large plots, which total 49 plots.
- In some areas of the new homes, players are able to spawn their vehicles inside of it.
- Whenever a player sits on a toilet in any of the new homes for a couple of seconds, it will play a fart sound effect.
- The particle FX used on the shower are the same particle FX used for the boost on electric vehicles.
- The TVs in the new homes uses the new "VideoFrame" feature that was introduced to Roblox on September 14, 2020.
- The video playing on the TV is the Waterfall Landscape.
- The pools at some of the new homes uses water from the Roblox Smooth Terrain feature.
- The Fiorenza Mansion is the only home to feature working curtains.
- At the Cambridge Mansion, some of the water is sticking through the edges of the pool.
- The Everett and The Auburn are the only homes to use the same blueprint layout with slightly altered exteriors and interiors.
- The old homes did not feature any interaction with the furniture or appliances for the player.
- If a player leaves their vehicle or character inside the home when they unclaim a house in the old location, they are pretty much trapped. The only way to fix this was by resetting their character or respawning their vehicle to get it out of the garage.
