I'm surprised you don't have more obscure properties.
Some of the "Gems" I own include:
- 0232 Paleto Boulevard - Yeah it's beat to ****, but it's in downtown PB! Can't say that about the stilt houses! 2 car garage is a bummer.
- 870 Route 68 Approach - Way out in the desert, which is perfect for all of the offroad cars I keep there.
- 2000 Great Ocean Highway - Best views in the game. Too bad it's just a garage and you can't actually see out. I keep my Comet's here for cruises down the coast
- Great Chaparral Clubhouse - Best motorcycle club location IMO.
I also have a Penthouse, a high end apartment, and a stilt apartment. But everybody has those. No Yacht, Bunker, Hanger, or anything mega expensive for me. I'm poor.
Up through the biker update I used to keep some of my other characters current such that I had every property available. The reason I had other characters to begin with was because of the limited garage space. When car shows were still going on, I kept several characters. As the need to have a diverse repertoire dwindled with the popularity of the shows and events, and the storage space available increased with 6 residences, biker garage, offices, etc, made the additional characters unnecessary; I stopped maintaining those characters.
Now, I just maintain my main character. I am a sucker for great views, so my options for unique properties are limited by my refusal to relinquish my in-town residences. My off-roading character, and others, have locations in Grapeseed, Sandy Shores, etc; but my main character has a specific set of properties for various reasons. My more focused characters have more 'appropriate' properties.
Probably the most questionable of my properties are my dual Eclipse residences. There are reasons for that, and most of my other properties, although I won't wall-o-text everyone even further with the particulars.
My favourite view from a property would probably be between Lombank West Garage 1, or the mod shop. I love and hate the window tint of the mod shop at various times.
I don't use many of my properties for their intended purpose, so some of them have locations that seem less than ideal. For example, since I don't have property in Paleto, my Farm is my hangout/safehouse in the area. I have not supplied or sold product from that business since the first month it was released. I pay an extra 4k or whatever every hour that I sign into my MC just so I have another cool place to drink beer and such.
I have also kept my yacht moored off Paleto Bay for quite a while, although I should move that again.
Some properties are more for convenience and utility than what I would consider to be my favourite options. The Chumash bunker purchase, while not what I initially wanted; was settled upon due to proximity to my office and the highway. In grinding I would spend a lot of time at the office, so it made sense. I like the idea of a bunker feeling more authentic in a desert/rural/off the beaten path location rather than on the beach in Malibu(hahha) but it is a business and not a hangout. My Zancudo hangar was purchased for the similar reasons, although I prefer LAX. I may move that yet.
Other than idling watching television or the security cameras, I find I spend less time in my properties than I used to. Of the time I hang out inside; much is divided between my office, Eclipse, and the yacht.
If I did it over, or began a new character, I would probably stick to only a couple of properties. They would be small, outside of town, and I would not concern myself with the fake material world of GTA.
I’m thinking about getting a garage on the highway, or on Route 68. Any recommendations?
I have not kept up on these things, but assuming the "store ten cars in a 2 or 6 car garage" thing works, I've always liked the garage next to Neptune's Net/Hookies. When your options include smaller garages and homes, there are a lot of good options outside of town.
was set before the events of Single Player, at some point, the timeline jumped to after the main story.
