A small but meaningful update has been made to the location of Devin Weston’s old mansion in GTA Online, and it appears to be directly connected to the upcoming A Safe House in the Hills DLC releasing on December 9. While the change may seem minor, it provides important insight into Rockstar’s preparations for the update.

A Key Location for the Listings Mission
The mansion serves as the site of the very first Listings Mission, where dialogue strongly suggests that this property will be one of the three mansions available for purchase in the upcoming DLC. This implication has existed for some time, but the recent update reinforces it.

A Gate Removed in 2016—Now Returning
Back in 2016, during the Import/Export update, Rockstar removed the front gate of Devon Weston’s mansion. This was done to prevent players’ vehicles from being damaged during delivery in Import/Export sell missions, since the mansion was one of the designated drop-off points.

However, as of yesterday, Rockstar re-added the gate permanently in GTA Online. This sudden reversal is significant and suggests a clear purpose. Those on a budget can still find cheap GTA modded accounts that include money and levels.

Why Rockstar Brought the Gate Back
Looking at images shared in Rockstar’s recent Newswire post, the restored mansion gate is clearly visible on one of the new luxury mansions. Both of these new properties are reskinned versions of Devin Weston’s mansion model, as revealed in the latest trailer.

This update strongly indicates that Rockstar is preparing the original mansion for its new role as a purchasable property. While players already expected the mansion to be included, the gate restoration serves as additional confirmation that it will be featured in the DLC’s lineup.

The return of the mansion gate may be a small detail, but it highlights Rockstar’s careful preparation for the A Safe House in the Hills DLC. By restoring the property to its original state and aligning it with newly upgraded versions, Rockstar is signaling that Devin Weston’s mansion will officially become a buyable safehouse. This update offers fans even more reason to look forward to the DLC’s launch on December 9.
