LOTRO Legendarium: Which LOTRO premium housing neighborhood is best for you?
May 10, 2025
So here’s a weird thing to consider: It wasn’t until October 2016 that Lord of the Rings Online introduced premium housing to the game with its Gondor-themed Belfalas homes. Before then, everyone had access to only the four standard neighborhoods and their much more limited space and hooks.
Now in 2025, we can settle — for a fee — in one of five premium neighborhoods, with a Rivendell one in the works for this or next year. These homes offer a distinct advantage over the older ones, from newer designs to special hooks to better services. I don’t think I’ve ever sat down to discuss the pros and cons of each neighborhood, so let’s run through the five today and see which one might be the best fit for you!

Cape of Belfalas

LOTRO’s first premium housing neighborhood kind of knocked it out of the park, even if it’s somewhat overlooked today by virtue of its age. Belfalas embraces the best of seaside Gondor vibes, with sparkling blue coastline, a tranquil atmosphere, and shining marble edifaces.
Some players may be turned off by the exteriors of the homes, however, as they look more like gigantic gold-white tombs than someone’s vacation abode. The sheer tallness of the outside and inside is probably my least-favorite aspect, as it does have the unfortunate side effect of making one feel like you’re trespassing on a giant’s domain.
