What's included in a furnished apartment in Houston: the standard package
Our apartments are furnished for real daily living, not just a place to sleep. Exact packages vary by building and apartment, but these are the core of every stay:
Furnished living room, dining area and bedrooms. The home is set up before you arrive.
A full kitchen with cookware, dishes and utensils. We confirm the kitchen inventory for your apartment.
Housewares for everyday use.
Bed linens and bath towels.
An in-unit washer and dryer in every apartment. Laundry happens at home, inside your unit.
Free parking in a shared gated garage. We confirm your parking space with your quote.
Utilities and Wi-Fi included in your quote. Explained in the next section.
Help from our local team before and during your stay, with 24/7 support once you have moved in.
We offer one- and two-bedroom furnished apartments, depending on the building and availability, so you can match the layout to a solo traveler, a couple or a small family. "Fully furnished" can mean different things from one listing to the next. That is why we confirm the package for your specific apartment in writing rather than leaving you to guess from listing photos.
Utilities and Wi-Fi: what "included in your quote" means
A furnished apartment spares you the setup work of a standard lease. There are no utility accounts to open and no internet installation to schedule. Furniture, kitchen items, linens, utilities and Wi-Fi are arranged before you arrive.
When we confirm an apartment, utilities and Wi-Fi are included in your quote, per booking terms. People often search for "all bills paid" or "utilities included" furnished apartments. We confirm in writing exactly what utilities and Wi-Fi cover for each booking. If you rely on video calls or plan to work from the apartment, mention it when you ask for a quote, so we can confirm the details for the apartment you are considering.
Parking, pets and shared community spaces
Our furnished apartments are in established apartment communities across Houston. Here is how parking and pets work, and what to ask about shared community spaces.
Parking. Parking is free in a shared gated garage. We confirm your parking space with your quote.
Community amenities. Shared spaces differ from one community to another. Ask us what is available at the apartment you are considering.
Pets. Non-aggressive pets are allowed. Mention your pet when you send your dates.
Where our furnished apartments are located
The building you choose shapes your commute as much as your amenities. We place guests across several Houston neighborhoods:
Furnished apartments near the Galleria and Uptown: a few minutes from Post Oak Boulevard and the Uptown office towers.
Downtown Houston furnished apartments: close to the office towers, courts, convention center and theaters.
Furnished apartments in Midtown: between Downtown's offices and the Museum District, with the METRORail Red Line close by.
Energy Corridor furnished apartments at CityCentre: near I-10 and Beltway 8 for west Houston offices.
Furnished apartments near Greenway Plaza: on Richmond Avenue, between Upper Kirby, the Galleria and the Inner Loop.
Furnished apartments near the Texas Medical Center area: furnished stays for work assignments, travelers and relocations.
To compare these areas for commute and lifestyle, read our neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide to where to stay in Houston.
Cooking in your furnished apartment
Every apartment has a full kitchen with cookware, dishes and utensils, so you can cook instead of eating out every night. We confirm the kitchen inventory for your apartment before you arrive. The apartment is already furnished, so there is no furniture to buy or move.
Easy meal ideas for your stay
Breakfast: omelettes or scrambled eggs with vegetables or cheese, yogurt with fresh fruit and granola, or breakfast burritos with eggs and cheese.
Lunch: sandwiches with deli meats, cheese and vegetables, grilled cheese with tomato soup, pasta salad, or quesadillas.
Dinner: grilled chicken with roasted vegetables, spaghetti with marinara sauce, tacos, or a vegetable stir-fry with tofu or chicken.
Furnished apartment or hotel for a longer trip?
A hotel room suits a quick visit. When a trip runs for weeks or months, everyday living matters more:
a kitchen for your own meals
room to spread out
We compare costs, services and booking in our guide to corporate housing in Houston versus hotels.
If your employer is arranging the stay, see corporate housing for Houston relocations and assignments. For a project window, see our short-term furnished apartments in Houston. HR and travel managers can also read how HR books corporate housing in Houston with direct billing.
Costs and extras to confirm with us before booking
Some details are best settled before you sign. Ask us about each of these when you request a quote, and we will confirm the answer for your apartment in writing:
Housekeeping: not included in your stay.
Deposits: whether a deposit applies, how much it is and how it is returned.
Pets: Non-aggressive pets are allowed. Tell us about your pet when you request a quote.
Food and toiletries: what, if anything, is provided on arrival, so you know what to buy on your first shopping trip.
