'''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''' features a total of '''five [[safehouses]]''' in the city, one of which will no longer be of any use after the second safehouse is unlocked.

The number of safehouses in GTA IV is a sharp reduction compared to [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], which [[Safehouses in GTA San Andreas|offered up to 37 safehouses]]. However, none of the five safehouses are required to be purchased, as the player is automatically awarded a safehouse upon completion of a specific mission. | The number of safehouses in GTA IV is a sharp reduction compared to [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], which [[Safehouses in GTA San Andreas|offered up to 37 safehouses]].

The safehouses are completely redesigned in GTA IV. Instead of spinning save icons, the player must sleep on futons (sofa-beds) or beds inside the safehouse to save games. Garages used to store vehicles are replaced by "RESIDENTS PARKING ONLY" parking lots located on the side of the street outside the safehouses; these parking lots are capable of holding up to two full-size sedans and are also known to be able to save helicopters. A [[TV Shows in GTA IV|television]] is also made available in each safehouse, and two safehouses offer additional equipment for the player. | The safehouses are completely redesigned in GTA IV.

It should be noted that the safehouses' parking lots, despite the safehouses themselves being locked during a certain amount of time, are still usuable to the player. For example, players may park vehicles at the Bohan safehouse when the safehouse isn't available for the player to save games. | It should be noted that the safehouses' parking lots, despite the safehouses themselves being locked during a certain amount of time, are still usuable to the player.
