When it comes to corporate housing NYC is a hotbed of activity and that is because there are so many people who come here for no more than a matter of weeks or months to work in various offices throughout the city. It isn’t just New York however where these types of properties can be found and in fact throughout the country there are certain properties which are owned by corporate housing companies which they let out to people who are covering or working in the office away from their home.
So why choose this type of living over other types of rentals? Let’s take a look.
Options
There are other options here of course for your short term stay, you could look at a hotel, many do stay in hotels when they are away on business. The problem with a hotel however is that over the long term they can get incredibly boring and even if you have the money to cover you for a large suite, there is still something pretty stale about a long term hotel stay.
Another option here could be something like an AirBnb, a solid option for a short term stay but if you are looking at coming to a city like New York and you expect any of those properties to have 3 or 4 months blocked out as vacant then you have another thing coming, as that is almost unheard of. Other types of short term rentals don’t offer you the flexibility which you need for you stay and you will often have to pay for a certain amount of months up front, which is no good if office decides that you can go back home before you lease is up.
Home From Home
The idea of this type of housing solution is that it is a home from home, somewhere for you to unwind on an evening after a day at the office and a comfortable environment for you to be able to live as you would do at home. Even the decor and the amenities in these properties is designed with professionals in mind and there are some great properties out there which look incredible.
Dedicated
These companies which operate these kind of properties understand the nature of business and they will almost always be flexible in terms of what you need. This includes the example above around flexibility with dates should your situation change. Ultimately these teams are dedicated to offering properties for people just like you and as such their operation is focused on how to deliver the very best deal and the very best property that they can, well placed and well looked after.
Ultimately this is the best choice for you if you are covering a sabbatical or maternity and you are only going to be in the city or town for a short while. Make sure that you pick a company with a great reputation and property where you will feel comfortable and at home.
