Diff - lot types - inZOI Wiki

11 Overview

33 Every property in inZOI falls into one of three broad lot categories: residential lots where Zoi households live, community lots that serve as public spaces for activities and skill development, and rabbit hole buildings that Zois enter but whose interiors cannot be viewed. Understanding lot types is essential for choosing where to live, which community venues to visit, and how to customize the city through Build Mode. The game currently has three playable areas: Dowon (a Korean-inspired metropolis), Bliss Bay (an American coastal city), and Cahaya (a tropical island resort added with the free Island Getaway DLC in v0.3.0).

55 Residential Lots

77 Residential lots are properties where Zoi households live. Each household occupies one residential lot, which includes the building footprint and any outdoor space (yard, garden, parking area). Residential lots are where players spend most of their Build Mode time, decorating interiors, placing outdoor furniture, setting up gardening plots, and building features like swimming pools.

1010 Residential Lot Categories

1111

1212 CategoryDescriptionEmpty lotsVacant properties with no structures. Players purchase these and build from scratch. The base price is typically 5,000 or 10,000 Meow. These are the most affordable starting option.Unoccupied lotsProperties with existing structures but no family living in them. Players can move in and keep, modify, or demolish the existing building.Occupied lotsProperties with a premade family already living there. Players can move their household into an occupied lot, which displaces the existing family.

1313 Apartments

1414

1515 inZOI supports apartment buildings with up to 30 floors. Apartment living is common in both cities, especially in Dowon where urban density means smaller lots and taller buildings. Each floor can contain multiple units. Players edit their own unit through Build Mode without affecting other units. Apartments tend to be more affordable than standalone houses, making them a good choice for Zois starting out.

1717 Lot Sizes

1818

1919 Lots in inZOI are measured in meters, with four grid squares equaling one meter in Build Mode. A scale ruler along the edges of the Build Studio shows exact dimensions. Properties vary significantly in size:

2222 The Build Studio uses size categories (S2, S3, etc.) when creating houses, but actual usable lot space on placed properties may differ from the studio dimensions. Empty lots available for purchase in the base cities are typically S2 size, while pre-built properties occupy larger footprints. Cahaya offers the largest buildable areas in the game.

2424 Dowon Residential Lots

2525

2626 Dowon has 12 residential lots. The city has a dense urban layout with compact apartments and smaller properties. Dowon's lots reflect its metropolitan character: vertical living spaces, close neighbors, and limited yard space.

3434 Community Lots

3535

3636 Community lots are public buildings and spaces that all Zois can visit. They serve as hubs for skill development, social interaction, shopping, dining, and entertainment. A key distinction from residential lots: editing community lots in Build Mode is completely free and does not cost the household any Meow.

3737

3838 Editable vs. Non-Editable Community Lots

3939

4040 Not all community lots can be edited. Lots marked with an "(Editable)" indicator in the top-left corner can be customized. To edit one, have your Zoi visit the location and press the building icon on the bottom-right corner. Some properties, like Sodam Diner, are editable from the map, while others nearby (like Dowon Deli) are not. The developers maintain restrictions on certain buildings to prevent changes that could impact core gameplay. Walls currently cannot be added to community lots.

6363 Rabbit Hole Buildings

6464

6565 Rabbit hole buildings are locations where Zois enter but whose interiors the player cannot view or control. The term originates from life simulation games where characters disappear inside a building, leaving the player to imagine what happens inside. In inZOI, rabbit hole buildings primarily serve as career workplaces and civic institutions.

6666

6767 When a Zoi enters a rabbit hole for work, the game provides periodic status updates about their activities. Everything they do offscreen is automatic; the player does not need to manage them beyond ensuring they had a good night's sleep before the shift.

7575 Business Lots

7676

7777 The v0.5.0 update (December 2025) introduced business ownership, allowing Zois to own and operate businesses. Business lots are a special subset of community lots where the owner manages employee rosters, sets business hours, finds customers, and handles accounting. Preset business types include cafes, bakeries, bars, and restaurants. Business owners take a hands-on approach, actively managing the venue during operating hours.

8484 Buying and Moving

8585

8686 To purchase a property, open the city map (press M) and select an available lot. Property prices depend on lot size, location, and existing structures. Players who cannot afford to pay upfront can use bank loans (approximately 1% interest) from Narae Bank or Southwest Bank. Loan shark financing is also available at 5% interest through the smartphone Loan app, but the high interest and risk of asset seizure make it a last resort.

8787

8888 Moving involves choosing whether to sell or store existing furniture. Stored items go to household inventory for placement in the new home. See the Lots and Housing article for full moving details.

8989

9090 Future Cities

9191

9292 Five additional cities are planned for future updates: Brusimo, Goldenfield, Winiber, Haegang, and Recalleta. Each new city will bring new lots with distinct architectural styles and lot sizes, significantly expanding the total number of available residential and community properties.

9393

9494 Tips

9595

9696 Dowon lots are cheaper but smaller. Bliss Bay lots offer more outdoor space for gardening and pools.Community lot edits are free, so experiment freely with redesigning public spaces to suit your play style.Check for the "(Editable)" indicator before visiting a community lot with renovation plans.Rabbit hole careers require minimal player input. If you prefer hands-on gameplay, look for active career lots instead.The cheapest empty lots (5,000 Meow) are great starter properties. Build a simple home and expand as income grows.Cahaya offers the largest buildable land areas in the game, so players who want big outdoor projects should check the island's farming lots.
