Downtown Zone
The starting area. Contains:
- Ray's Realty (northeast, near Garage and Bleuball's Boutique). Buy all properties here.
- Police Station (south end). Avoid selling within 3 blocks.
- Dan's Hardware (central). Equipment and mixing stations.
- Convenience Store (central). Donuts and basic items.
- Gas Station (north edge). Fuel, Energy Drinks, basic ingredients.
Selling strategy: High police density makes downtown risky for street dealing. Use this zone for shopping and property purchases only. Do your street sales in the Motel area.
Motel Area (East)
The best early-game zone. Contains:
- Albert Hoover: primary mid-tier supplier, Motel room
- Random NPC rooms: Horse Semen vendor (check every room)
- Trash spawns: 3-4 bags behind motel, restock daily
- Parking garage: rooftop hiding spot (police escape)
Selling strategy: Lowest police density in the game. Perfect for street dealing and dealer assignments. Buy the Bungalow here first.
Industrial Zone (North)
Mid-game zone, unlocked at Dealer rank. Contains:
- The Barn (east side): $25K, best value property
- Shirley Watts' stash: West face of Warehouse
- Fungal Phil's stash: Behind Gas-Mart
Selling strategy: Medium police density. Use dealers here instead of street selling. The Barn's 2-floor layout takes time to optimize.
Docks (Far East)
Late-game zone, accessible 6PM-6AM. Contains:
- Docks Warehouse ($50K): largest pre-Manor property
- Salvador Moreno's stash: Behind Church (east side)
Selling strategy: Night-only access means you need to plan your production schedule around the time gate. Stockpile ingredients during the day and produce at night.
Highway/Casino Zone (North)
The northern highway has the casino and several vending machines. No properties available here. Best for gambling runs and quick cash via vending machines.
