Is a Short-Term Rental The Right Solution for Your Temporary Housing Need?
Are you one of the 300,000 persons who are expected to move to Texas this year? If so, is a short-term rental right for you?
You have likely paid hundreds of dollars per night for an Airbnb, and have probably paid over a $100 per night for a small hotel room (and not a fancy one at that), but maybe you are coming to Texas for a one-month training course in order to switch professions, and you can’t afford to pay hundreds per night for a small Airbnb and a tiny cheap hotel room will barely be livable for a whole month?
Is there another option?
Yes, there is, although they are kind of hard to come by, especially if you want to spend under $100 per night, including ALL fees and taxes (which, on Airbnb’s can easily add $20-30 per night, or even more).
I am the property supervisor of Westview Forest Apartments in Houston, Texas, and this property offers short term rentals that are 350 square feet, are fully furnished, with a full kitchen with all appliances (including a convection microwave that you can actually bake in!), and is move-in ready.
But here are some really cool features you will never find in a hotel or an Airbnb:
- Because it’s located inside an apartment community, you have full services 6 days a week, something you will never find in an Airbnb.
- You get your own assigned parking spot—right in front of your rental!
- There are two beautiful pools onsite, just a few steps from your rental.
- The property is centrally located near the upscale Memorial neighborhood, with access to all the major Houston highways.
- Within just a few miles of the property, you will find hundreds of restaurants, two huge movie theaters and lots of nighttime entertainment venues.
And the price? Weekly it runs $429 (ie, about $60 per night), and monthly, $1299 ($43 per night!)—and these prices INCLUDE all the taxes and fees. These prices are the least expensive of any short term rental I could find in an online search I just conducted. The cheapest I could find—without ANY of the amenities quoted above—was advertised at $65 per night, but when I plugged in a 3-night stay, the total was quoted at $268.95—which works out to $90 per night, NOT $65!
