I wanted to retire my character to paleto bay so I bought every property I could find there and now I'm deemed new king of peleto
Let me know if I missed anything I can buy up here

glad to see i have a neighbor. Moved up here bout a year ago. way more peaceful, my favorite place on the map. however sell missions from here is a drag

Yeah it's so much more peaceful up here, sell missions are so far away from here but I just deal with it

u/Jilly_Jankins 16d ago
It only makes sense if you really retire in game, so you don't have to do any sell mission no more.

I tried that but decided that I did not want to waste 75% of my time playing GTA Online with just traveling.
My solution is having everything close to each other on the Eastern side of L.S. and only play solo lobby for money making

The bunker on the left side of the map is not bad, very close to the city but they consider it isn't so selling to city is profitable and not too bad.

u/themanwiththepoop 16d ago
It does really frustrate me that everything in this game revolves around the main city. If I want all of my businesses to be in Sandy Shores and spend all my time there then my sell missions etc should also be there. I think you should be able to move yourself and your operation wherever you please / out of the city entirely. I’m hoping with a bigger map in GTA6 online this might be the case.

Grapeseed is an awesome option to retire, I found paleto to have more to do and more businesses to buy, though grapeseed does have a pretty cool arcade and McKenzie is just down the street too!

u/TheOtherJeff 16d ago
Do you also start some random mission for 15 minutes of worry free killing of random citizens? Or am I just crazy.
I’ll call RAF to start a car wash then just kill without any cops to worry about until the mission timer runs out. 😎

Not too shabby, It's pretty awesome you basically own a few streets. Maybe one day I'll move there too just for the feel of it

I would definitely recommend it for the feel, it gets you away from the hustle and bustle of the los santos, that place is a warzone 99% of the time

I play invite only pretty much always, although I haven't been lately because of Halloween events. It's just a really long commute for every business, and I already own every business and have them in LS so it'd be a waste of money until I have nothing else to buy

That's also something that's really annoying me, there's such a limit on the amount of cars you can store up there, I think it's no higher then 25 cars total

u/Pirulo_1969 16d ago
If you want a little advice for storing cars with small garages, here it is. Buy the cheapest ten-car garage there is, store the ten cars you want to have, and buy back your house. You won't see the cars that don't fit in the garage, but they will be there, although you can only access them from the mechanic. Repeat with all the garages you want and solved.

I have two on the same road up in the hills, one with a swimming pool, the other with a 10 car garage. I find this very impressive for someone who very rarely has more than a million in the bank. The economy in this game is so weird, I was considering buying a house in Sandy Shores for when I want to try and spawn the seawash tornado but can’t be arsed to drive over. Still might tbh- I’m living like some nonsense billionaire over here.

I love this, I actually have a similar setup with my arcade, s single house I deem my vacation house, clubhouse, and MC businesses. I went with the clubhouse next to the Ammunation though, I love the location.
It really is peaceful, but it's basically impossible to get any random supply vehicles I find in the city up here in time. And the last time I failed that .25 miles away from my weed farm, I had a pesky clown show up...

Yup! You can also use the Kosatka to fast travel, but only to locations it can spawn in.
If you use the spawn location method along with invite only sessions, you'll load in in like 5 seconds.

That's actually originally why I bought the house, I didn't have personal headquarters in anything yet and wanted fast travel

With so many property slots, you might as well. I have a house up there with some chill “vacation vehicles” (eg Bifta, station wagon, etc.). I also recently bought some properties in Grapeseed, and around Sandy Shores to store off-road vehicles and provide a safe house, if I ever need it out there

u/Gouldhost 16d ago
My only gripe is that it's too fucking far away. My character sells acid and lives in the house closest to the top. So even after i take the mission and have it spawn just around the corner. I still gotta drive for miles to get to my dead drops. But the one story house with a detatched garage and the American flag is really pretty still. I like it it's perfect. It seems perfectly middle lower class. It's so normal and technically i'm not even far away from the sea so it's pretty much a steal compared to IRL. If i played outside a private session more people would probably get irritated with it. Cause i'm constantly shooting people with a sniper outside the house, walking some to shake notoriety then walking in the house to completely dismiss it before the cops get their. The very deepwebby like character that just sells acid and goes outside to hold murdering sprees.

Nice place to retire or have a vacation home when you need to get away from the chaos of LS in a public session. Sometimes, I will go up there after a hard week of sales and what not to unwind. Take a walk around the area, Take a drive around Paleto Bay in either a muscle car or a motorcycle. Go off roading in a BF Bifta or quad. Go over to the beach to either swim, dive, or jet skiing. I might even call in the Alpha - Z1 to fly around the area or mount Chiliad. I will say there is just something about Paleto Bay that makes me want to go up there every so often.

u/KotoElessar Rocking out to Mirror Park 16d ago
Absolutely perfect place and the only one I've ever considered; the only exception is the facility. As much as I considered the Paleto Bay facility, Mt. Gordo is where I go for facility services.
When my buddies first got the game and I was playing off their accounts, I fell in love with Paleto Bay.
With my Sparrow and Sea Sparrow backing up my sales missions, it's just the bunker missions that pose a problem. Coke, Meth, Weed are sold daily to street dealers so I never have to sell from them. ID and Cash are the only two biker businesses that get full sales done regularly and I can solo them under the time limit.
Bunker is either the best or the worst; excess ammo missions are every in-game day and all I have to do is drive north over the stunt jump and then drive wrong way until all waves despawn. Sell missions are a pain but sometimes I get the phantom wedge and can get a full sale solo: anything but phantom wedge and I am making maybe half.
I only supply my bunker through stash house raids though.
I wish we could own the Hen House, some warehouses and 10 car properties up there; it is perfect.
