What is Corporate Housing?

Corporate housing or executive accommodations provide all the comforts, amenities and essentials you typically enjoy at home in a residential apartment community at a rate well below the alternative of an extended stay hotel (see below for comparisons to extended stay hotels).  Corporate housing provides an all inclusive, fully furnished, one, two, or three - bedroom apartment home for stays of 30 days or more in virtually any location.

What is included in a Corporate Accommodation?

At a minimum, each corporate apartment/condo includes:

How much does it cost?

Rates vary depending on the number of bedrooms, the location, additional upgrades or amenities and the length of your stay.  Generally, however, you can expect to pay a daily rate as low as $75.00 per night, up to as much as $125.00.  Rates include all utilities, furnishings and access to all community amenities.  No hidden costs, extra deposits or application fees.

What is included in the daily rate?

The daily rate is all-inclusive.  It covers all apartment expenses, all furnishings, housewares, linens, in-suite washer and dryer, local phone calls, cable, high-speed internet access, electricity, water and community trash service.  If you desire, rates can include housekeeping services on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.

Why should I use a Corporate Housing Company?

Setting up your own temporary apartment can be very time consuming and expensive and most apartment communities generally do not offer short-term leases of less than 6 months. Therefore, if you include delivery fees for furniture and house wares, deposits and connection fees from utility, cable, phone and water companies, your time to manage and setup these components, the costs become prohibitive.  Using a corporate housing company experienced at setting up and managing temporary accommodations saves money, time and frustration, allowing you to focus on finding a new home, managing your project or enjoying your new community.

How does Corporate Housing differ from
an Extended Stay hotel?

A corporate accommodation provides 2 to 3 times the living space of an extended stay hotel.  Taking into account the daily rate of an extended stay hotel plus taxes, your average cost per square foot is nearly 4 times that of a corporate accommodation.  ($11.50/sf/month vs. $3.00/sf/month).  Corporate apartment properties are generally located in quiet residential communities with long-term residences vs. the transient environment you will find at a hotel.  Your corporate accommodation includes free local telephone calls whereas at a hotel, you may be charged every time you pick up the phone.  In addition, corporate accommodations provide a full size in-suite washer and dryer that are free to use, whereas your extended stay hotel may use a coin operated floor laundry facility or provide small stackable units.  Finally, you will find corporate housing to provide flexibility to tailor your accommodations to your needs (such as bed sizes) not available in an extended stay hotel.
