If you are traveling alone and mostly need a place to sleep, cook, and take calls, a one-bedroom furnished apartment in Simpsonville is usually the better value. If someone is coming with you, or you need a separate room to work in, a two-bedroom is worth the extra $500 a month.
At Upstate Corporate Housing, we help business travelers pick the right unit quickly, often with move-in within a day or two. To check dates, reach out to our team or call (864) 963-1005.
How do one-bedroom and two-bedroom furnished apartments compare on cost?
A one-bedroom is $2,200 a month and a two-bedroom is $2,700 a month, with electricity, water, cable TV, and internet included in both. That works out to about $72 a day for the one-bedroom.
The two-bedroom changes the math when two people share it. Split between two colleagues, it comes to about $45 a day each, which is often much less than two hotel rooms or two separate apartments for the same stay.
Both options include the same basics: a full kitchen with an electric range, full-size refrigerator, and dishwasher, cookware and dishes in the cabinets, a washer and dryer in the unit, and towels and linens on day one. There are no utility setups or deposits to chase down.
Location is the same for both, too. Our apartments are at 100 Garden District Dr, with Greenville Memorial about 20 minutes up I-385 and the BMW plant in Greer about 25 to 30 minutes away.
Which unit works better for remote work?
If you work on site most days and only take a few calls from home, a one-bedroom gives you plenty of space. If you spend full days on video calls, the second bedroom can become a real office with a door that closes.
Our one-bedroom units range from 525 to 772 square feet, with a separate bedroom, a living room with a sofa and recliner, and a kitchen. That layout keeps your bed out of the background on calls, which a hotel room cannot always do.
The two-bedroom is 990 to 1,025 square feet, with two bedrooms, a living room, a dining area, and a full kitchen. That extra space matters when you need a quiet place to focus, or when someone else is home during the day.
Internet is included and turned on before you arrive, so you can start working the day you get in. The Michelin campus and downtown Greenville are roughly 10 to 20 minutes away, so you can finish the day's work at home after a short commute.
When does a traveling partner or second team member call for two bedrooms?
Whenever two adults will be staying for more than a few nights. A two-bedroom gives each person their own room with a queen bed, a dresser, and a door that closes, which makes a long stay much easier for everyone.
Plans can change quickly, too. One guest was coming to Simpsonville for a temporary assignment and wanted the smallest furnished unit we had. Then she learned her teenage son would be staying with her for a good part of the assignment because he broke his leg, so a two-bedroom made more sense.
She laughed and said she could already picture him eating Cheetos on the couch while she took work calls. A second bedroom gave them both room for the weeks ahead.
Two-bedrooms also work well for colleagues on the same project, employees relocating with a spouse, and traveling nurses with a partner. See the details on our two bedroom furnished apartments Simpsonville page.
How much storage do you need for a longer stay?
For a 30-day stay, a one-bedroom usually has room for everything you bring. For assignments of several months, especially with a partner or extra equipment, the added space in a two-bedroom can keep the apartment from feeling crowded.
Each bedroom has a dresser and nightstands, and the kitchen is already stocked, so you do not need to pack much beyond clothes and work gear. The in-unit washer and dryer helps too, since you can travel lighter and do laundry as needed.
Longer stays tend to collect more: groceries, seasonal clothes, a monitor or printer for work, and things picked up along the way. If you expect to stay through a change in seasons, plan for that extra space from the start.
Pets are welcome, including cats and dogs with no weight limit. The community has a dog park and a pool, which help a longer stay feel more like home. Compare our one bedroom furnished apartments Simpsonville to see if it has the space you need.
How do you match the unit to your trip length and budget?
Start with how long you will stay and who is coming. For a solo stay of one to three months, the one-bedroom is usually the smartest choice. For a shared stay, or a long assignment with frequent remote work, the two-bedroom often pays for itself.
Our minimum stay is 30 days, with a standard 90-day lease that can be released at 30 days. Six-month and annual terms are available, and extensions are handled with a phone call.
We keep up to a dozen furnished apartments ready at a time, and if those are booked, we can furnish an empty unit in the same community, ready the next day. Check-in can be arranged at any hour with 24 hours' notice. Still, popular dates fill, so it helps to reserve early.
