Land Expansion

A Land Expansion (also known as a Property Value) is a 16x16 field of land that is used as a space to place buildings, Decorations, Roads, Pavement, and Rivers on. Most Expansion fields contain 1-5 pieces of debris, with the exception of three fields which additionally contain a Burning Bush, and the fields past the original 13x13, including the Beach and Ocean which have no Debris. Upon first playing the game, the player is given a free space of 4 property values (32x32). The current maximum of available regular land consists of 13x15 property values, one column of Land with Beach, and two columns of Ocean plots.

With the Squidport Expansion which was added to the game in June 2013, expansions onto the ocean were added, opening up 42 new plots. The land on the ocean and shoreline could be used to place Boardwalk Sections for Squidport buildings and decorations to be placed on.

When the Krustyland Expansion was released, there were land expansions available in Krustyland. They worked in a similar way to the regular expansions in Springfield, apart from being paid for with Krustyland Tickets and the values increased in a more linear fashion.

Regular expansions
The cost of Regular Land Expansions increases in an odd fashion as you move further away from the original 32x32 space, the vertical spaces costing slightly more than the horizontal ones. As you purchase land, the prices for purchasing another do not increase, but rather the further away the land is, the more costly it would be.

The following chart indicates the cost of each property value available. (N.B. This lacks the Squidport update, so misses a column of beach prices and all ocean prices, and does not include the 15th row added with the Clash of Clones 2014 Event.)

Ocean and shoreline expansions
The cost of Ocean Expansions increases in an odd fashion as you move further away from the original 32x32 space, the vertical spaces costing slightly more than the horizontal ones. As you purchase land, the prices for purchasing another do not increase, but rather the further away the land is, the more costly it would be.

Krustyland expansions
The expansions in Krustyland works in a similar way to that of the regular ones in your Springfield, except that it requires the Player to spend Krustyland Tickets to buy more plots of land instead of using the regular Cash.

 * Land Expansion plots are purchased via the Build Menu Icon (bottom right corner, far right icon), then select the Land Expansion Icon (far right icon again).
