Please consider: Apartments to those that don't own a house first.

And give or take 2,000 teleports, but I'm no math expert to pull out actual figures.

Going from Zenith you save about 100 gil by teleporting to a housing district vs directly to a city (cities are favorited) so about 5,000 teleports to the housing district and then elsewhere before you've saved enough to cover the cost of the apartment.

And then subtract the extra time it takes you to do the extra teleport and you're probably negative.

Thank you, trusty mathematician (not sarcasm). I'm nowhere close to being in-game to look at actual teleport costs, hence my lack of definitive.
