Experience the heart of Second Life’s oldest democracy with a free, mentored starter home.
Why choose a CDS starter home?
A real neighborhood
Skip the empty streets of typical starter areas. Join a living, breathing community where neighbors actually say “hello.”
Zero cost, zero risk
Enjoy a fully furnished home on us for up to three months. No credit cards, no Linden Dollars, just show up and move in.
Your own personal guides
You won’t be exploring alone. Every new resident is paired with two experienced mentors to help you navigate everything from finding the best events to learning how to customize your avatar.
Pick your aesthetic
The Alpine retreat
A cozy, rustic vibe nestled in our historic mountain walled-city, Neufreistadt.
The harbour cottage
The charm of a rustic fishing village within Colonia Nova, offering a historic vibe and a sea breeze.
The coastal escape
Relaxing waterfront living in Locus Amoenus with plenty of space for opening your first packages.
The “citizen-in-training” experience
We’re more than just a landlord, we’re a democracy. During your stay, you’re invited to:
Join the conversation
Jump into our Discord and Forums to see how our community is run.
Party like a local
From inaugural balls to casual pub crawls, there is always something on the calendar.
Make it yours
Your home is your safe space. While it comes furnished, we encourage you to start decorating with your own finds!
The fine print
This program is exclusively for avatars under 90 days old. Your free stay lasts for three months, giving you plenty of time to find your feet before deciding to become a full CDS citizen.
Waitlist available if all spots are currently full!
