GTA San Andreas houses and businesses at a glance
| Save points | 37 = 8 story + 29 purchasable |
|---|---|
| Purchasable | 24 houses + 5 hotel rooms, $879,000 |
| Businesses with income | 10, of which 3 are paid |
| Most expensive house | Mulholland, Los Santos — $120,000 |
| Income per day | up to $45,000 with everything collected (our calculation) |
| Needed for 100% | yes, all property |
A green house icon on the map means you can buy it. A house that's still locked shows in a different color: GTA Wiki says blue, while the PowerPyx Definitive Edition guide says red.
According to GTA Wiki, a house lets you save the game (with full health, and the clock jumps 6 hours ahead), and some have a garage for up to 4 cars and a wardrobe.
Story safehouses
The game opens these save points on its own as you play through the missions. Numbering here and below follows GTA Wiki; other guides use a different order.
| # | District | What it is and when |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ganton, Los Santos | Johnson House — after Sweet & Kendl; garage, wardrobe |
| 2 | Angel Pine, Whetstone | trailer — after The Green Sabre |
| 3 | Fern Ridge, Red County | Catalina's Hideout — after King in Exile |
| 4 | Doherty, San Fierro | Doherty Garage — after Are You Going to San Fierro?; garage |
| 5 | Tierra Robada | Mike Toreno's Ranch — after Yay Ka-Boom-Boom |
| 6 | Bone County | Verdant Meadows (AC Tower) — paid, $80,000 |
| 7 | The Strip, Las Venturas | The Four Dragons Casino — after Learning to Fly |
| 8 | Mulholland, Los Santos | Madd Dogg's Crib — after A Home in the Hills |
Verdant Meadows: story safehouse or purchase?
GTA Wiki and GTABase put Verdant Meadows on the list of eight story safehouses, even though the airstrip costs $80,000. You have to buy it anyway: the story needs the airstrip, and it starts a chain of 5 missions, the first of which is Learning to Fly.
That's why the figures "37 save points = 8 + 29" and "29 purchasable for $879,000" only add up if Verdant Meadows is counted among the story safehouses, not among the 29.

Total: $879,000; prices are the same in GTA Wiki and GTABase. By region: Los Santos $190,000, countryside (Red County, Flint County, Whetstone) $205,000, San Fierro $250,000, desert (Tierra Robada, Bone County) $70,000, Las Venturas $164,000.
13 of the 29 houses have a garage — GTA Wiki and GTABase agree on that. Capacity is per GTABase. *gta-sanandreas sometimes says otherwise: a 2-car garage in Verdant Bluffs and Palomino Creek, a 3-car one in Hashbury. Per GTA Wiki, any garage holds at most 4 vehicles, as long as they fit. Among story safehouses, Johnson House and Doherty Garage have garages (GTABase: 2 and 4 cars), and so does Verdant Meadows (GTABase: up to 8).
What you find at the safehouses
- Johnson House, Ganton. The upstairs bedroom has a camera and a spray can (per GTA Wiki, the spray can appears after the mission Tagging Up Turf). Once all 100 tags are sprayed, an AK-47, a sawn-off shotgun, Molotov cocktails and a Tec-9 appear in the kitchen.
- Mike Toreno's Ranch, Tierra Robada. After the mission Vertical Bird, a minigun, flamethrower, rocket launcher and heat-seeking rocket launcher spawn in the house.
- Verdant Meadows. A Leviathan on the helipad after Up, Up and Away!; a Hydra in the hangar furthest from the tower after Vertical Bird; the jetpack by the control tower entrance after Green Goo. After gold in the pilot school, a Hunter may stand on the same helipad: per GTA Wiki, it alternates with the Leviathan.
Safehouse items and vehicles are per GTA Wiki and GTABase, which agree here. More on vehicles in the GTA San Andreas vehicles guide.
$879,000 or $1,039,000: how much does all the property cost
| Amount | What's included | Who counts it this way |
|---|---|---|
| $879,000 | 24 houses + 5 hotel rooms | PowerPyx, GTA Wiki |
| $1,039,000 | the same 29 + Verdant Meadows ($80,000) + Zero RC ($30,000) + Wang Cars ($50,000) | GTABase |
So if you're going for 100%, budget a little over a million.
Businesses that make money
Income builds up every day to a set cap, and you have to collect it yourself by going to the business.
| # | Business and district | Price | Income per day | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Johnson House, Ganton | free | up to $10,000 | depends on how many territories Grove Street holds; after Doberman, doesn't pay between The Green Sabre and Home Coming |
| 2 | Zero RC, Garcia | $30,000 | $5,000 | 3 missions; income after New Model Army |
| 3 | Wang Cars, Doherty | $50,000 | $8,000 | 4 missions; income after Puncture Wounds |
| 4 | Verdant Meadows Airstrip, Bone County | $80,000 | $10,000 | 5 missions, starting with Learning to Fly; income after Green Goo; required by the story |
| 5 | RS Haul, Flint Intersection | — | $2,000 | all trucking missions |
| 6 | Vank Hoff Hotel, Financial | — | $2,000 | valet mission |
| 7 | Hunter Quarry, Bone County | — | $2,000 | all quarry missions |
| 8 | Roboi's Food Mart, Commerce | — | $2,000 | Los Santos courier |
| 9 | Hippy Shopper, Queens | — | $2,000 | San Fierro courier |
| 10 | Burger Shot, Redsands East | — | $2,000 | Las Venturas courier |
Daily maximum: 10,000 + 5,000 + 8,000 + 10,000 + 6 × 2,000 = $45,000. That's our own calculation from the table, not a figure from the game.
The Zero RC and Wang Cars missions aren't required for the story, but you do need them for 100%. How Johnson House income ties in with territories is explained in the gang wars guide. The rest of the side activities are covered in the side missions guide.
What you need for 100% and achievements
- 100%. You need to buy all property. Per GTA Wiki, save points make up 15% of the overall percentage.
- The American Dream (Definitive Edition) — buy any house.
- Ain't Nothing But a G Thing (Definitive Edition) — take over all gang territories, own all property and have $1,000,000 in cash.
The full list is in the GTA San Andreas achievements guide. Where everything is: see the San Andreas map.
Does property differ between versions?
- Definitive Edition (2021). The same 24 houses and 5 rooms for $879,000 — that's exactly how the PowerPyx DE guide lists them. The achievements described above were added.
- Mobile version. We found no property differences confirmed by two sources. More about this version on the GTA San Andreas mobile page.
