| Linden Home is a new Premium account feature in the Second Life virtual world owned and managed by Linden Lab. We've provided it in the spirit of helping Residents own land, and it includes a ready-to-move-in home while belonging to a themed community.
| |
| | |
| ===Introducing Linden Homes===
| |
| | |
| Linden Home regions are located in the new Nascera continent. In addition to [http://secondlife.com/support Support] access, a monthly Linden Dollar (L$) stipend, and 512m<sup>2</sup> land allocation without usage fees, '''Premium accounts now include Linden Homes!''' Use your included '''[[tier|tier (What is tier?)]]''' towards a Linden Home in one of our four themed communities. Receive land for free with the home you select, ready and waiting for you to move in!
| |
| | |
| Linden Homes are for residential use only and provide an opportunity for Premium account holders to own land and a home to gain home ownership experience.

| ===Linden Home qualifications===
| |
| | |
| Premium accounts with '''512m<sup>2</sup> available tier''' are qualified for Linden Home. (In addition, [[tier]] can be used in other situations, including buying land on the mainland or [[renting land]] on a private estate.) For example, if you have a new Premium account — you've just joined Second Life as a Premium account or upgraded from a Basic account — and haven't changed your land usage, then you have exactly 512m<sup>2</sup> of available tier.

| {{KBcaution|Be sure to check your available tier! If you don't have 512m<sup>2</sup> or more, you can upgrade to the next tier level on the '''[https://secondlife.com/my/account/landfees.php Land Use Fees]''' page.}}
