Basic Apartment: 500,000 Gil

Upgrade to Large Apartment: 1,000,000 Gil (from Medium, or 1,750,000 from Basic) (same size as a medium house, maybe a different layout though on two floors instead of three)
Add Terrace Access: 500,000 Gil (probably about 2/3rd the size of a small house garden plot but same item limit)
Upgrade to large Terrace: 750,000 Gil (maybe the size of a medium house garden plot, same item limit)
This way players get to pick and choose what they want. Just want the outside space? Basic Apartment with Large Terrace for 1,750,000 Gil in total, still cheaper than a house.
I would then increase the prices of regular Medium and Large houses, to price more players out and promote the apartment system, and make Large houses FC only.
