Corporate housing is a fully furnished, move-in-ready home away from home designed for stays of 30 days or longer. Unlike a hotel, it gives you the comfort and space of a residential apartment, complete with furniture, housewares, linens, utilities, Wi-Fi and everything you need to start living from the moment you arrive.
At McKenzie Drake, we take it a step further. We handle the details—from securing the apartment and furnishing it to setting up utilities and Wi-Fi—so our guests simply open the door and start living.

For longer stays, corporate housing can often provide a better overall value than a traditional hotel. Instead of living out of a hotel room, guests enjoy the space and convenience of a fully furnished apartment, including a kitchen, living area, Wi-Fi, utilities and in-unit or on-site laundry.
While a hotel may make sense for a short trip, corporate housing is designed for stays of 30 days or longer. When you consider the added space, ability to prepare meals, and the comforts of a home-like environment, corporate housing can be a practical and cost-effective solution for extended business travel, relocations and project assignments.
