Furnished Apartments for Rent

I just moved to a new city and I am currently staying at my friend’s place. I plan on only staying in the city for about 6 months for a job assignment. I did not want to live in a hotel for the next 6 months so I opted to find an apartment. Since I was only staying six months, I decided not to buy furniture but instead go for furnished apartments for rent. This would really work out for me because it would be move-in ready and I would not have to do anything.

I began my search for a furnished apartment by searching on craigslist. It seems as though that website has everything you could want. I was able to find several listings for apartments with furnishings. The rent was also within my budget. The next day I went to check out these apartments. They all seemed pretty nice but they were also kind of far from where I worked. I wanted to find a place that was close so I did not have to commute an hour to work.

After searching online some more for some apartments, my friend suggested that I contact a realtor who deals with property management. They could probably zone in on what I wanted quickly. I agreed with my friend so I called up the realtor that he recommended. I told the realtor that I needed a short term place with all the furnishings. He told me that he had several listings that fit my criteria. Plus these were all within a close distance to my work. He took me to each one of the apartments to check them out. I am pretty particular about how I want the furnishings. I like an apartment that is decorated in the modern style. One of the apartments that we went to was exactly that. It was decorated exactly as I wanted. I signed the lease right there and then.

If you are looking for furnished apartments too, you can also try other websites like rent.com. These are all apartment finding websites that are free to use.
