Mansion Review - A Safehouse in the Hills

What to know

The Safehouse in the Hills update adds three purchasable mansions: Vinewood Residence, Tongva Estate, and Richman Villa.
Each mansion features customizable interiors, décor, tints, AI assistants, optional rooms, and security tiers.
Prices range from $11.5M to $13M+, depending on customizations.
These mansions serve as prestige safehouses but do not replace existing properties like Agencies or Apartments.

GTA Online’s A Safehouse in the Hills update introduces Prix Luxury Real Estate, the most premium living spaces Los Santos has ever seen. If you’ve ever wanted a home that overlooks the skyline while offering the kind of customization usually reserved for criminal elites, these hillside mansions finally deliver. You’re choosing not just a house, but a lifestyle—along with pricing that reflects it.

Each property sits in a scenic spot in the northern hills. The Vinewood Residence offers the most iconic Los Santos overlook, Tongva Estate provides natural hillside seclusion near vineyards, and Richman Villa sits closest to the city grid for fast access while still feeling exclusive.
