Important notes:

it stays even if you sell the house
you buy it from the basement option at your house

Basements are used to grow:

Kenaf

Kenaf growth details:

full growth takes 18 hours
a basement has 35 plants
each mature plant gives 9 Kenaf
a full harvest gives 315 Kenaf
that converts into 21 Kevlar

Other notes:

harvesting early gives less
Kenaf cannot be sold or transferred

Apartments and houses

Apartments are a separate housing-related system.

For housing purposes, the important rules are:

you can only have 1 apartment
all of your houses share that same apartment
you do not get one apartment per house
you cannot sell an apartment, only your house

For apartment renting, access rules, apartment commands, and apartment travel, see the apartment page.

My Properties

Housing and related properties can be viewed through:

CITPhone > My Properties

You can use it to:

view your houses
view other live properties
mark your house on the map

When you click a house in My Properties, it shows:

house interior
whether it is for sale
asking price
whether it has a basement
Kenaf growth percentage if it has a basement

A green house icon means:

the house is for sale

If a house has a basement, then:

Kenaf Growth 100% means the Kenaf is ready to harvest

Houses and other property systems

Houses are different from heist properties.

houses are residential properties bought from green house icons or Real Estate centers
heist properties are criminal mission bases bought from the property store GUI

Notes

apartments cannot be sold
houses cannot be sold back to the server
all your houses share one apartment
regular houses do not support custom furniture placement
basements remain even if the house is sold
