Furnished Apartments for Weekly Travelers

Weekly travel is its own category. You’re not on a three-night business trip, and you’re not relocating — you’re rotating through the same city on a regular cadence, often for months at a time. Hotels charge you like a tourist every time. A furnished apartment treats you like the repeat resident you actually are.

Home Street Furnished Apartments serves weekly travelers, rotating field workers, travel nurses, and anyone whose work brings them back to Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Louisville, or Milwaukee on a consistent basis.

Who We Work With

• Travel nurses and allied health professionals: Standard travel nursing contracts run 13 weeks — the exact duration where a furnished apartment delivers maximum value over extended-stay hotels. Our Midwest markets are anchored by Cleveland Clinic (92,000 employees), UPMC (92,000 employees), IU Health ($4 billion new downtown campus), Aurora Health Care (32,000+ employees), Norton Healthcare, Cincinnati Children’s, and the major Columbus health systems. This concentration of large health systems generates continuous, high-volume travel nurse demand across all seven markets.
• Medical device and pharmaceutical representatives: Indianapolis — home to Eli Lilly, Roche Diagnostics, and one of the densest life sciences ecosystems in the country — and Cincinnati (GE Aerospace, medical manufacturing) generate significant field rep traffic. A furnished apartment gives reps a consistent base that’s less expensive and more functional than extended-stay hotels.
• Field engineers and plant technicians: Rotational assignments at manufacturing sites — including GE Appliances in Louisville, Harley-Davidson and Rockwell Automation in Milwaukee, and the growing semiconductor supply chain around Columbus — follow regular weekly cadences. A furnished apartment with a fixed monthly rate eliminates the per-week variability of hotel booking.
• IT and software project team members: Midwest enterprises deploying ERP systems, data platforms, or cloud migrations often keep project team members on a Monday-Thursday rotation for months. A furnished apartment is purpose-built for this pattern in a way hotels simply are not.
• Auditors and financial reviewers: Big Four and regional accounting firms regularly place teams on-site at Cincinnati’s Fortune 500 headquarters cluster (P&G, Kroger, Fifth Third) and Pittsburgh’s financial and healthcare institutions for multi-week engagements that repeat quarterly or annually.

The Cost Case for Weekly Travelers

HSSA’s furnished apartments are priced between $3,000 and $5,000 per month all-inclusive — utilities, internet, and furnishings covered, with no nightly fees, cleaning charges, or surprise add-ons. Units are available in 1, 2, and 3-bedroom configurations; the per-person cost drops considerably when partners or colleagues share a multi-bedroom unit.

The per diem picture matters for travel nurses and government contractors. In Pittsburgh, market hotels average $194/night — over the $138 GSA lodging ceiling. In Cincinnati, $182/night against a $163 GSA rate. HSSA’s average rate works out to approximately $135 per night, which falls at or below the GSA lodging ceiling in most of our markets depending on the specific unit and location. When your housing cost comes in at or under your lodging allowance or stipend, the difference stays in your pocket as non-taxable income — a real financial advantage accumulated over a 13-week assignment.

Why Consistent Housing Changes the Travel Equation

• Same apartment, every rotation: When your housing doesn’t change week to week, you spend less energy managing logistics and more energy doing the work you’re there to do.
• 750+ square feet: Room to work, cook, decompress, and actually live — not just sleep. The average furnished apartment is more than twice the square footage of a standard hotel room.
• Full kitchen access: Our apartments have full kitchens with cookware, dishes, and appliances. Restaurant dependence is a choice, not a necessity.
• No surprise charges: Utilities, Wi-Fi, and parking (where available) are included. No resort fees, no daily parking charges, no per-night WiFi billing.
• Flexible start dates: Leases start when your rotation starts — not on the first of the month.
