Corporate and furnished housing covers apartments and units that come fully equipped: furniture, kitchenware, linens, utilities, and often a cleaning service, all bundled into one monthly rate. It's built for people who need a place to live for a few weeks to several months without signing a traditional lease or hauling their own furniture across the country. In McKinney, that means relocating employees at companies near US-75 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway corridor, traveling nurses working at the area's medical centers, families between home closings, and contractors on extended job assignments. We track 65 properties in this category, ranging from dedicated corporate housing providers to standard apartment complexes that set aside furnished units for short-term stays.
What to look for before you book
- What's actually included: Ask whether utilities, Wi-Fi, cable, parking, and housekeeping are part of the rate or billed separately.
- Lease flexibility: Minimum stays vary widely, from 30 days to six months or more, and early termination fees can be steep.
- Furniture quality and layout: Photos can be outdated. Ask for current pictures or a video walkthrough of the specific unit you'd get.
- Location relative to your job or hospital: McKinney is spread out, so factor in commute time to your actual work site, not just distance to downtown.
- Response time and support: A broken appliance or slow maintenance ticket matters more in a short-term stay than a year-long lease.
