Forza Horizon 5: Which player house should you buy first?

Welcome to the Horizon festival in Mexico! We've been exploring the map and hunting for all of the bonus boards. But early game, which of the player houses is worth buying? Here's what you get for each house.

Player houses in Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 features seven different player houses, each with its own perks. The houses are useful to own early game, as you can drop in to make changes to your character as well as buy and sell cars. You can also take stunning screenshots with ray tracing in the Forzavista mode at these locations.

The player houses and their perks

Casa Bella is the first house you get the keys for in-game. It's free once you've played through the introduction. Casa Bella unlocks Skill Songs on the radio. Skill Songs award double Skill Points while the song is playing!

Once you have each house, you'll be rewarded with 750 Accolade points and the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera!
