There are many more reasons to use temporary furnished apartments than I could possibly fit into this blog. While you might stay in a hotel for any vacation or business trip that goes less than 30 days, when you need to stay a little longer using corporate housing can translate into big savings for you or your company. Here are seven reasons why people use corporate housing:
1.) Relocation. Many people have found a new job in another town and haven’t sold their home yet. They choose to live in corporate housing while the real estate market recovers because it means they will only need to move their personal belongings once.
2.) Remodeling. When a home renovation project requires the occupants to vacate for an extended period of time, many people move into corporate housing. They do this not only because it’s more cost effective, but also because the presence of a fully equipped kitchen saves them money on eating out.
3.) Purchasing a home. For those who have been lucky enough to sell their home and have yet to close on their next home, there are temporary furnished apartments. This is advantageous because it gives you and your family more room to stretch out and relax than a hotel room would.
4.) Military/TDY. Military personnel on a TDY in a city far from home choose to live in corporate housing over a hotel. Oftentimes furnished apartments are in properties that have fitness centers on site, and are within a short drive from the base.
5.) Vacation. Retirees wishing to travel for one to two months at a time, or grandparents coming to the area to help out with a newly born grandchild prefer corporate housing to a hotel. It’s possible to rent a furnished apartment with a pull out couch, so extended family members and friends can visit during their stay.
6.) Divorce or separation. Spouses enduring a separation or divorce often move into corporate housing while the legal issues are resolved. This gives the family more time to divide up personal belongings. Corporate apartments have all of the details managed by a dedicated team of housing specialists, so the occupants have more time to dedicate to what’s really important.
7.) Extended medical treatment. Furnished apartments are the best option for patients undergoing an extended medical treatment. They are often quieter than a hotel where noisy vacationers come and go, and they can be located on the first floor or in an elevator building.
