Brookhaven Houses Guide: Plots, House Controls, Bans and Roommates

Brookhaven has no levels, no money and no goals, so your house is the center of most roleplay. This guide explains how plots work, which house types exist, what the control panel can do and how to keep unwanted visitors out. Details are as of October 2026 and come from the community wiki and the game's Roblox page.

How to claim a house

You spawn a house from the in-game menus on a vacant plot, and each plot only accepts certain kinds of building. The wiki lists more than 115 houses in total, split into standard houses, apartments, motel rooms, estates and landmarks. A few simple rules to know:

• You can only own one property at a time. Spawning another one replaces the old one.
• A wait timer applies between spawns. Players with the VIP gamepass can skip it.
• New houses show up in a box at the top of each house menu and have a sparkle effect, so they are easy to spot.
• The menu has categories such as Gamepass, Home, Work and Special. Use them to find a roleplay house quickly.

Plot types

• Standard house plots: plots 11 to 32 plus 35 and 36. The wiki says 15 of the plots are free, and the rest need the Land Unlocked gamepass. More than 80 different house styles fit here.
• Estates: plots 33 (North Estate), 34 (South Estate) and 37 (Island Estate). They need the Estates Unlocked gamepass and are bigger than normal houses.
• Apartments: plot 6 is free and sits above the grocery store. Plot 7 is the penthouse plot and needs the Penthouse gamepass. An apartment spawned there gets an extra floor.
• Motel rooms: plots 1 to 5 at the motel near spawn. Only one room is VIP and the rest are free.
• Landmarks: public buildings near the airport, such as the Nuclear Power Plant. You cannot lock doors or ban people there.

Gamepasses are optional extras that cost Robux, which is bought with real money. The wiki says paid houses are mostly alternate versions of free ones and that secrets and easter eggs are kept in free houses, so you miss nothing without paying.

Roleplay houses worth trying

Some houses are built for a scene instead of just living. The wiki mentions laboratories, daycares, castles, haunted houses, camps and bunkers among the roleplay houses, plus themed apartments such as music studios and skate and bike shops. Estates can be hotels, prisons, fashion studios or stadiums. Pick one that matches the story you want to tell and other players will understand it at once. You can also pick a job from the Avatar menu (the wiki lists over 80) so your role is visible above your head.

What house controls can do

The control panel only shows options your building supports, so a motel room has fewer buttons than a full house. Common controls:

• Lock doors: locks the front door and, in some houses, extra doors such as the backyard.
• Windows: switches between curtains or reflective windows for privacy.
• Security cameras: lets you watch live views around your house.
• Props controls: turns prop placing on or off for visitors and removes all props at once.
• House sign: adds text to your house. VIP adds effects like gradient and flash.
• Music, pool and disasters: these each need a gamepass (Music Unlocked, Premium and Disaster Pack).
• House fire: needs a gamepass, but a fireplace left on for a few minutes can also start a fire by itself, and you get a prompt first.

Landmarks cannot lock doors, and motel rooms have no pool, garage or disaster controls.

How to ban, roommate or add family

Walk up to a player on your plot and left-click them to open the interaction menu. You will see options like Ban Player, Unban Player, Roommate Player, Unroommate Player and Add to Family.

1. Left-click the player.
2. Choose the option you want.
3. To undo it, repeat the steps and pick the opposite option.

What each one does:

• Ban: the person is sent back to spawn and sees a red barrier around your plot. Use it on visitors who try to rob or annoy you.
• Roommate: the player can enter through locked doors, lock and unlock doors and use furniture and animations, but cannot ban anyone or change ownership.
• Family: members get roommate access automatically and cannot be banned until you remove them from the family.

Bans and roommate rights reset when you spawn a new house, so set them up again after you change homes.

Private server extras

The game's Roblox page lists perks of a paid private server, including saving props, setting the weather and time, naming admins and kicking players. Ask a parent before buying anything, and remember that it costs real money. If you only want a calm roleplay session with friends, a free public server and a locked door work well.

Quick checklist

• Pick a plot type that matches the house you want.
• Lock the door and set the windows before you invite friends.
• Add trusted friends as roommates or family.
• Ban anyone who spoils the scene, then respawn only when you are done, because that resets your lists.
