How Our Furnished Corporate Housing Works

How does corporate housing actually work?

It is closer to renting an apartment than booking a room, just without any of the setup. You call, tell us your dates, how many people and what the stay is for, and we match you to a furnished one or two bedroom. You sign a lease, pick up a key, and everything else is already there.

The lease is the part people ask about most. Thirty days is our minimum. The standard agreement runs 90 days, which is how South Carolina treats a residential lease rather than a hotel stay, and we can release you at 30 if your plans change. Six month and annual terms are available when a project or a contract justifies them. Extending is a phone call, not a new application, which matters when a build slips or a 13 week assignment turns into 26. A few more questions about our furnished apartments are answered on the FAQ page.

Billing is one invoice a month covering rent, the furniture and every utility. Nothing is metered separately and there are no deposits to open with the power company, the water company or the cable provider. For a company placing someone, that means one line item instead of six receipts to reconcile.

When we say furnished, we mean finished. Furniture in every room, a kitchen stocked down to the knives, forks and plates, a washer and dryer in the unit, towels and linens on day one, and a vacuum and ironing board in the closet. Somebody arrives with a suitcase and does not need a store run before bed.

Who will you actually be dealing with?

Lori. She has managed this location for more than 30 years, and she handles the whole thing: the questions before you book, the lease, the keys, and whatever comes up while you are here. There is no call center and no rotating account rep. You get the same person from the first phone call to move out day.

Thirty years in one property is unusual in this business, and it shows up in small ways. She knows which units get the afternoon sun and which ones sit quietest. She knows how long a repair actually takes rather than how long a schedule says it should. When someone calls needing a place by Friday, she already knows what is turning over.

She is also genuinely accommodating, which is the part guests mention most. A flight lands at midnight, a contract gets extended with two days notice, a family arrives with more boxes than anyone expected. Those are normal here rather than a problem. Check in can be arranged for any hour, including overnight, as long as we know 24 hours ahead so the keys and parking are ready.

Maintenance is on site as well, not a contractor who might get to it Thursday. Between the two, most of what goes wrong in a stay gets handled the same day.

Where can you find us?

Our furnished apartments are in one Simpsonville community at 100 Garden District Dr, and that single address reaches a lot of the Upstate. Mauldin and Fountain Inn are about ten minutes out. Downtown Greenville and the Michelin campus run roughly twenty. The BMW plant and the Greer industrial corridor are twenty five to thirty. Spartanburg and Anderson sit near forty, and Travelers Rest is about thirty five. GSP airport is about twenty five, which matters if you fly home every other weekend.

Keeping everything in one community is a deliberate choice. It means one manager who knows every unit, one maintenance crew and one standard, so nobody is gambling on which building they land in. It also means a project manager splitting time between two job sites does not get boxed in next to one of them and stranded from the other.

Prisma Health Hillcrest is right here in Simpsonville, a few minutes away, and Greenville Memorial is roughly twenty up I-385. That is why so many of our guests are on medical contracts, and our page on furnished housing for healthcare professionals covers what matters to medical staff specifically. Our office is separate from the apartments, at 514 NE Main St in Simpsonville.

What kind of apartment will you get?

One bedroom or two bedroom. Those are the two layouts we keep, and we hold up to a dozen furnished at a time. If every one is spoken for, we can furnish an empty apartment in the same community and have it ready the next day, which is usually faster than a waitlist anywhere else.

A furnished one bedroom apartment runs 525 to 772 square feet at $2,200 a month and suits someone traveling alone, or a couple. A furnished two bedroom apartment runs 990 to 1,025 square feet at $2,700 and works for a family between homes, a relocating employee bringing a spouse, or two colleagues who would rather not share a room. Both rates include electricity, water, cable TV and internet.

Pets are welcome, cats and dogs both, with no weight limit. There is a one time pet fee of $350 for a dog or $300 for a cat, plus $10 per pet each month, and the property has a dog park and dog waste stations. The community also has a swimming pool, a pool house and a fitness center.

Whether it is just you or you are bringing the whole family, we will find something that fits. Call us and we will tell you what is open.

Why not just book a hotel?

For a few nights, book the hotel. It is simpler and nobody wants a lease for a Tuesday to Thursday trip.

Past about a month, the math and the misery both turn. There is no stove, so every meal gets bought. There is no washer, so a weekend morning goes to a laundromat. The room gets cleaned on a schedule that has nothing to do with a shift starting at six in the morning, and there is nowhere to sit that is not the bed.

A furnished one bedroom here works out near $72 a day with every utility included. Extended stay hotels around Greenville often land in that same range for a room with a kitchenette. Same money, and one of them has a real kitchen, a laundry closet and a living room with a door on the bedroom.

The cost people miss is food. Three bought meals a day across a three month assignment adds up to more than most budgets account for, and it never appears on the housing line.
