Starting a new job is exciting and a little overwhelming. Add moving to a new city into the mix, and things can get chaotic fast. If Raleigh is your new home base for work, you’re in good company. With booming industries in tech, healthcare, research, and education, the City of Oaks is a hotspot for professionals making big moves.
But while your job may be lined up, your housing situation might not be. Maybe you're still figuring out where in the Triangle you'd like to live. Maybe you're waiting for your house to close. Or maybe you’re just not ready to commit to a year-long lease. Whatever the case, finding a short-term place to stay while you get your bearings is a smart first step.
Why Not Just Stay in a Hotel?
Hotels are fine for a few nights, but they’re not exactly built for real life. You don’t want to eat takeout every night or squeeze your laptop onto a tiny desk while trying to iron your shirt for your first day. And after a long day of onboarding, nothing feels worse than realizing you’re basically living out of a suitcase.
That’s where short-term furnished apartments shine. You get space to breathe, a full kitchen to cook your favorite comfort meals, and room to relax that actually feels like home.
What to Look for in a Short-Term Stay
When choosing where to stay during your relocation, convenience is key. Look for a fully furnished apartment with high-speed internet (you’ll need it for onboarding meetings), a washer and dryer (because laundry is not optional), and flexible lease terms. Bonus points for walkable neighborhoods, parking, and amenities like a gym or housekeeping—little perks that go a long way in helping you stay focused on your new role instead of logistics.
Exploring Raleigh While You Settle In
One of the best parts of a temporary stay? It gives you a chance to get to know the city before deciding where to live long-term. Check out neighborhoods like North Hills, Five Points, and Oakwood. Sample the local food scene, stroll through Pullen Park, or spend your weekend at the NC Museum of Art. Raleigh’s full of energy and opportunity—take some time to find the corner of it that feels right for you.
