Corporate relocations, temporary work assignments, business travel, and professional training programs require housing solutions beyond hotels but with more flexibility than traditional apartment leases. Our corporate housing services connect you with furnished, short-term apartments throughout Texas providing comfortable, home-like accommodations with flexible terms serving business needs.
Corporate housing consists of fully furnished apartments leased on temporary basis, typically 30 days to 12 months, serving business travelers, relocated employees, and professionals on temporary assignments. Unlike hotels offering single rooms with limited amenities, corporate housing provides complete apartments with full kitchens and living spaces, separate bedrooms and living areas, in-unit washers and dryers, home office spaces, and residential apartment community amenities including pools, fitness centers, and parking.
Corporate housing bridges the gap between expensive extended-stay hotels and traditional unfurnished apartments requiring annual commitments and furniture. These solutions provide home-like comfort and functionality for temporary professional stays at costs lower than extended hotels while maintaining flexibility unavailable with standard leases.
Companies relocating employees to Texas offices provide corporate housing during transitions allowing relocated employees to settle, find permanent housing, and move families without rushing decisions. Corporate housing gives relocated professionals time to learn neighborhoods, understand commute patterns, tour homes or apartments, and make informed permanent housing decisions while maintaining comfortable living during transitions.
Consultants, contractors, and employees on temporary projects lasting weeks or months need comfortable housing for assignment duration without annual lease commitments. Corporate housing provides home-like accommodations superior to hotels at lower costs for extended stays, allows professionals to maintain routines with full kitchens and living spaces, and offers flexible terms matching project timelines with extension options if assignments extend.
Executives and professionals requiring extended time in Texas markets need alternatives to hotels for stays exceeding a few weeks. Corporate housing provides more space and comfort than hotels at lower costs per night for extended stays, allows business travelers to maintain healthy routines with kitchens for home-cooked meals and spaces for exercise, and creates productive work environments with dedicated office spaces and reliable internet.
Companies bringing employees to Texas for extended training programs, seasonal workers and temporary employees on defined-duration contracts, interns and fellows on 3-12 month programs, and traveling nurses and medical professionals on temporary assignments all benefit from corporate housing providing temporary homes during professional programs.
Homeowners displaced by fire, flood, or other damage covered by insurance need temporary housing while homes are repaired or rebuilt. Insurance companies often arrange corporate housing as temporary lodging solution providing families with comfortable apartments during home restoration, offering more space and normalcy than hotels for extended displacement periods.
Corporate housing includes all furniture and furnishings needed for immediate comfortable living including bedroom furniture with quality mattresses and bedding, living room furniture including sofas, chairs, and entertainment centers, dining furniture and table settings, home office furniture and desks in many units, and all linens, towels, and bedding.
Full kitchens include all appliances and supplies needed for home cooking including full-size refrigerators, ranges, and microwaves, dishwashers in most units, cookware, dishes, utensils, and glassware, small appliances like coffee makers and toasters, and everything needed to prepare and serve meals without purchasing anything.
Corporate housing typically includes utilities and services in rental rates including electricity, water, gas, and sewer, high-speed internet and cable television, local telephone service in some arrangements, weekly or bi-weekly housekeeping services, and 24-hour maintenance and guest services. All-inclusive pricing simplifies expense reporting and budgeting for companies and travelers.
Corporate housing properties provide residential community amenities including fitness centers and pools, business centers and conference rooms, on-site parking included, package receiving services, laundry facilities or in-unit washers and dryers, and community spaces and social areas.
For stays exceeding a few weeks, corporate housing costs substantially less than extended-stay hotels. While daily rates appear similar initially, corporate housing monthly rates typically range $2,000-4,500 depending on location and apartment size, compared to extended-stay hotels charging $3,500-7,000+ monthly for comparable room types. The cost advantage increases with longer stays—corporate housing for 3-6 months saves thousands compared to hotel equivalents.
Corporate apartments provide 500-1,200+ square feet versus hotel rooms of 300-500 square feet. This additional space includes separate bedrooms providing privacy and rest, living rooms offering relaxation spaces distinct from sleeping areas, full kitchens allowing home-cooked meals and healthy eating, and in-unit laundry eliminating hotel laundry services or facility trips. These features create home-like comfort impossible in hotels.
Home-like environments help traveling professionals maintain productivity and healthy routines including dedicated office spaces supporting remote work and virtual meetings, kitchens facilitating healthy meal preparation and normal eating routines, space for exercise equipment or workout routines, and residential environments reducing stress and supporting work-life balance.
Corporate housing offers flexible lease terms matching business needs including minimum stays typically 30 days versus annual apartment commitments, month-to-month extensions if assignments extend beyond original plans, relatively simple early termination if assignments conclude sooner than expected, and ability to change unit sizes or locations within provider networks if needs change.
Corporate housing providers typically require 30-day minimum stays, though some accommodate shorter durations at premium rates. Maximum stays are typically 12 months, after which providers may suggest transitioning to traditional apartments. Most corporate stays range 1-6 months, the sweet spot for corporate housing economics and flexibility.
Corporate housing rates are typically quoted monthly including all furniture, utilities, and services. Rates vary by location, apartment size, and amenities. Studio apartments typically cost $2,000-3,000 monthly. One-bedroom apartments typically range $2,500-4,000 monthly. Two-bedroom apartments typically range $3,000-5,500 monthly. Luxury properties or premium locations command higher rates. Weekly rates for very short stays cost more than monthly rate averages.
Corporate housing providers typically bill companies directly with net 30-day payment terms, accept credit cards, or arrange direct billing and payment systems simplifying expense management.
Security deposits equal to one month’s rent protect against damage. Application or administrative fees of $150-300 may apply. Cleaning fees sometimes apply at move-out. Pet deposits and fees apply if bringing pets. These costs are comparable to hotel deposits and often lower than traditional apartment deposits and fees.
Corporate housing can typically be extended month-to-month if assignments continue longer than originally planned. Early termination typically requires 30 days notice and may involve early termination fees depending on circumstances and provider policies. Business necessities requiring early departure usually result in more favorable terms than personal decisions to leave early.
Corporate housing concentrates near major employment centers including downtown Houston, Galleria area, Energy Corridor, and suburban business parks, Dallas Uptown, Downtown, Las Colinas, Plano, and Frisco, Austin downtown, Domain, and technology corridors, and San Antonio downtown, medical center, and business districts. Proximity to work locations minimizes commutes for temporary assignments.
Corporate housing also serves desirable residential neighborhoods providing better work-life balance including areas with restaurants, shopping, and entertainment nearby, residential neighborhoods offering quieter environments than business districts, locations near parks and recreational amenities, and family-friendly areas when relocating with spouses and children.
We begin by understanding your corporate housing needs including assignment duration and expected timeline, work location and commute requirements, apartment size needed for individual, couple, or family, budget and whether company is paying or cost-splitting, must-have amenities or features, pet accommodation if bringing animals, and flexibility needed for potential extensions or early departure.
We identify corporate housing options through relationships with corporate housing providers throughout Texas, knowledge of which apartment communities offer furnished short-term leases, understanding of which locations best serve various work locations and industries, and access to corporate housing inventory not always publicly advertised.
We coordinate property tours, show various options comparing features and locations, provide objective guidance on value and quality, and help you select housing meeting your needs and preferences. For clients not yet in Texas, we arrange virtual tours via video showing apartments and surroundings.
We coordinate lease applications and approvals, explain all terms, costs, and policies clearly, arrange move-in dates and times, and ensure smooth transition into corporate housing. Our goal is simple, efficient placement allowing you to focus on your work assignment rather than housing complications.
Corporate housing provides more space and comfort, full kitchens and cooking capability, significantly lower costs for stays over 30 days, and residential environments versus commercial hotel atmosphere. Hotels offer simpler booking, daily housekeeping, and no minimum stays. Corporate housing makes sense for stays over 2-3 weeks when space, comfort, and cost matter.
Corporate housing offers immediate occupancy with no furniture purchase, flexible short-term leases, included utilities simplifying budgeting, and no moving trucks or furniture logistics. Unfurnished apartments cost less monthly but require annual commitments, furniture purchase or shipping, utility setup, and make sense only for stays over 6-12 months when you’re committing to area long-term.
We arrange corporate housing throughout Texas including Houston metro serving energy, medical, and business professionals, Dallas-Fort Worth serving technology, finance, and corporate headquarters, Austin serving technology sector and government contractors, San Antonio serving military, healthcare, and business professionals, and other Texas markets statewide with corporate housing needs.
