Vice City's Safehouse and Business Purchasing Guide.
I'm going to try and keep this thread as spoiler free as possible. Any mission spoilers will be blacked out.
Safehouse Guide:
If you don't know already, Vice City gives you the ability to purchase your own safehouses around the city from the very start of the game. Here are the available properties, prices, and features you can get with them.
Skumhole Shack / Price: $1,000 / Features: Several crackheads / Location: Across the street from the biker bar on the roof.
3321 Vice Point / Price: $2,500 / Location: Top of first island above North Point mall.
1102 Washington Street / Price: $3,000 / Location: Across the street from the lawyer's office.
Links View Apartments / Price: $6,000 / Features: 1 garage / Location: Look on paper map. Near golf course.
Ocean Heights Apartment / Price: $7,000 / Features: 1 garage / Location: Look on paper map. Bottom of the first island.
El Swanko Casa / Price: $8,000 / Features: 1 garage / Location: Look on paper map. First Island
Hyman Condo / Price: $14,000 / Features: 3 garages, 1 helipad with helicopter / Location: Look on paper map. Near stadium on 2nd island.
I recomend saving up for the Hyman Condo. The helicopter is very useful in several missions. The 3 garages are also exceptionally handy.

I'm working on the locations for the hideouts.
Hyman Condo is next to the stadium. Look on the map that came with your game disc.

Just bought the condo today after beating the helicopter mission and unlocking the whole city. I have to admit I drove past the thing at least ten times, but I finally found it.

Just wondering, do you think Hyman Condo, the name that is, is a reference to Hyman Roth of Godfather Part 2? He did live in Florida. Either way the game rules!

I never saw it in a guide or post, but I think I was the only way to make the connection of Borgnine Taxi's in GTA3.
Ernest Borgnine played "Cabby" in Escape From New York.
Great stuff these GTA games.
Anyone member the bus mission in GTA1 where you had to stay above 50mph?

Thanks for the tip. I've updated the last location.
I've also updated the Movie Studio mission info along with the info about the mansion.

Thanks a bunch Flay!
Great guide. I was wondering about all the property ownership aspects of the game, and I was getting a little sick of driving all the way back to the Hotel to save after completing a mission.
After I get off work, I'm gonna buy me some property!
