Sleek Creek House

JusticeForJilarga

This one is thinking of getting Sleek Creek House. Though JusticeForJilarga is planning in getting the Serenity Falls Estate later (Mostly for the amount of people that can Visit at once.) This one is wondering if it's worth getting both at all.

Sleek Creek is excellent for a free jump to Rawl...

Sleek Creek is one of those 'must have' properties.
Like the Snugpod, its all about location, location, location. You're a quick jog to crafting stations, solid guild traders, and the thieves guild is right outside your door so you can get a free port to launder your stuff whenever, and wherever you are.

I love the Sleek Creek house, it looks great when decorated in the Khajiit/Redguard style. And as @rotaugen454 said, it's right there next to Rawl'kha.

Great Points! This one will probably buy it Furnished.

It's a worthy purchase, especially if you like Khajiiti style homes, but only if you care about location. If you already have a house in an excellent location (Snugpod in Elden Root or the Flaming Nix Inn Room in Mournhold, which have everything that Rawlkha offers plus pledges), then Serenity Falls Estate should be sufficient by itself.

Serenity Falls Estate is a lovely home and has more to offer than Sleek Creek (more room, larger gardens, and it also has natural water which is one of the unique features of Sleek Creek). Serenity Falls Estate's one glaring disadvantage is its location near the Sren-ja Wayshrine which doesn't have many local amenities, compared to Sleek Creek which as others mentioned has convenient access to guild traders, crafting writs, and an Outlaw's Refuge.

I would generally discourage buying Homes 'Furnished'. Khajiit style furniture are generally cheap to craft or buy with gold, so you're better off spending gold on your house than spending crowns on it. Even if you are not a crafter or you don't have a lot of gold, you could get a lot more gold from crown-to-gold trading than using your crowns to buy the furniture directly.

If you buy Sleek Creek 'unfurnished' it comes with 30 furniture, and costs 335,000g or 4,400c.
If you buy Sleek Creek 'furnished' it comes with 82 furniture, and costs 5,500c.

I'm not sure what the gold-crown exchange rate on Xbox is, but even if it's only 100gold per 1crown, you could have 550.000 gold - which you could use to buy the unfurnished home and use the remaining 215,000g to buy any furniture you want. And since you'll already have 30 out of the 82 furniture in the unfurnished house, it's rather unlikely that 52 furniture would cost more than 215,000g (over 4,000 gold each is highly unlikely for the basic furniture that Sleek Creek has).

Edit: Somebody on Xbox please feel free to correct me with the accurate numbers. That's just my opinion of course, based on how things work on PC/EU where the exchange is usually even better (~300g/1c).

I would generally discourage buying Homes in Furnished states. Khajiit style furniture are generally cheap to craft or buy with gold, so you're better off spending gold on your house than spending crowns on it. Even if you are not a crafter or you don't have a lot of gold, you could get a lot more gold from crown-to-gold trading than using your crowns to buy the furniture directly.

This one appreciates your input. JusticeForJilarga isn't aware of buying Crowns on Xbox. Also this one is just a humble Khajiit and has nowhere near the amount of Gold to buy it. This one has however 6,050 crowns and thought since JusticeForJilarga was buying with crowns might as well get the furnished version.

This one finds your opinion insightful.

I love my Sleek Creek house, it's been a lot of fun to decorate. The location right next to the thieves guild entrance and a hop to a wayshrine is awesome. I( bought it unfurnished and slowly bought or made stuff to put in it.

The Serenity Falls house is on my list of must haves too!

It's up to you of course! Sometimes just buying it with Crowns can be more convenient, yes.

Usually on all platforms there are players who would like to buy Crown Store items but can't afford the crowns. So instead, they will happily pay gold to another player who will gift that Crown Store item to them. The price of such exchanges differs from platform to platform, but it's always a mutually beneficial arrangement. Some players advertise 'WTB crowns xxxgold/1crown' in some zones, some players organize these exchanges through a third party like Tamriel Crown Exchange.

So if JusticeForJilarga ever wants to convert her useful Crowns into useful gold in the future (to buy pricey achievement furnishings perhaps which can only be bought with gold), this is a good method that makes two people (and also Zenimax) happy in the process (as long as you do it carefully to avoid scamming).

Have many many houses. Probably far too many, truth be told. But Sleek Creek is my hands-down favourite.

Nice size, good outdoor bit with water, close to Rawl & easy access to local Thieves hideaway.

Is my chilled out, haphazardly-decorated base.

If you do buy it, hope you enjoy it as much.
