What is Corporate Housing?

Corporate housing is a fully furnished apartment that's move-in ready for professionals on temporary assignments. Think of it as the middle ground between a hotel and signing a year-long lease.

Unlike hotels, you get a real home with a full kitchen, separate living spaces, and room to breathe. Unlike traditional apartments, you don't need to worry about buying furniture, setting up utilities, or committing to a long-term lease you might not need.

We handle the lease, manage the property, and take care of anything that comes up. You walk in, drop your bags, and you're home. It's that simple.

At Paragon, we've been doing this since 1996. We love welcoming guests into our apartments across Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Utah. Our team is small, and we genuinely care about making your stay smooth and comfortable.

How it Works

How Does It Work?

We've kept the process straightforward because you have enough on your plate already.

Step 1: Tell Us What You Need

Reach out by phone, email, or submit an inquiry through our website. Let us know where you need to stay, when you're arriving, and how long you'll be here. If you have specific needs (pet-friendly, near a hospital, close to your work site, ground floor), just tell us. We'll find options that fit.

Step 2: We Find Your Perfect Match

We'll send you apartment options with photos, amenities, and locations. No pressure, no hard sell. We want you to feel good about where you'll be staying. Have questions? We're here to answer them.

Step 3: Easy Booking

Once you've chosen your apartment, we handle the paperwork. It's simpler than you'd think. We'll send over a straightforward lease agreement, collect your information, and coordinate your move-in date.

Step 4: Move Right In

On your arrival day, everything is ready. The apartment is cleaned, stocked, and waiting for you. We'll make sure you know how to access the building, connect to WiFi, and reach us if you need anything. Most guests check in and settle right into their new space within an hour.

Step 5: We're Here When You Need Us

Throughout your stay, our team is your go-to for anything that comes up. Questions about the neighborhood? Need a recommendation for dinner? Something not working right? Just reach out. We respond quickly and genuinely want to help.

Step 6: Flexible and Simple Checkout

When your assignment wraps up, checkout is easy. We'll coordinate your move-out date and handle the rest. Many of our guests come back for future assignments because they know what to expect.

Who is it for?

Who Is Corporate Housing Good For?

Corporate housing works for anyone who needs temporary accommodations longer than a few weeks. Here's who we welcome most often:

Companies / Corporations

HR teams and mobility managers trust us to make employee relocations and extended business travel simple. Whether you’re onboarding new hires, relocating staff, or housing project teams, we provide fully furnished corporate apartments that are comfortable, flexible, and move-in ready. From short-term assignments to long-term stays, we handle the housing details so your employees — and your HR team — can focus on the work that matters.

Relocating for Work

You just accepted a job in a new city and need somewhere to live while you find your permanent home. Corporate housing gives you time to explore neighborhoods, visit open houses, and make a good decision without the pressure of a hotel bill piling up or settling for the first place you see.

Travel Nurses and Healthcare Professionals

If you're on a 13-week contract at a hospital, you need comfortable, reliable housing close to work. You need to sleep well between shifts, have space to meal prep, and feel grounded during intense assignments. Our apartments near medical facilities give you exactly that.

Interns and Training Programs

Summer internships, rotational programs, and training assignments bring you to a new city for 2-6 months. You want something better than a dorm or hotel but don't need a year-long lease. Corporate housing gives you independence and comfort during this important time in your career.

Project-Based Work

Consultants, construction managers, engineers, and contractors working on temporary projects need flexible housing that adapts to shifting timelines. Month-to-month flexibility means you're not locked in if your project wraps early or extends longer than expected.

Temporary Displacement / In-Between Homes

If your home is being renovated, repaired after a disaster, or you're dealing with an insurance claim, you need a comfortable place to stay while life gets sorted out. Corporate housing gives you stability and normalcy during an already stressful time.

New Graduates Starting Fresh

Just graduated and starting your first job in a new city? You need furnished housing right away without the hassle or expense of buying furniture and setting up utilities while you're still figuring everything out.

Anyone Who Needs Real Space / Life Changes

Corporate housing works for anyone who needs more space. If you need a kitchen, want to do laundry in your own unit, or just need room to spread out and work comfortably, this is for you. Families & pets, welcome!

Pricing

How Much Does Corporate Housing Cost?

We believe in straightforward pricing. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no confusing add-ons.

What You Pay

One monthly rate that includes:

  • Rent
  • All utilities (electricity, water, gas, trash)
  • High-speed WiFi
  • Streaming services
  • All furnishings and housewares
  • Property management and maintenance

What Affects Your Rate

Every situation is unique, so pricing varies based on:

  • Location: Apartments in downtown Seattle cost more than smaller cities
  • Size: Studios cost less than two-bedroom units
  • Length of stay: Longer stays often get better monthly rates
  • Time of year: Seasonal demand can affect availability and pricing
  • Specific property amenities: Luxury buildings cost more than standard communities

How Corporate Housing Compares

For short stays (a week or two), hotels might be similar. But once you're staying a month or longer, corporate housing makes financial sense.

What you save with corporate housing:

  • No daily restaurant meals (you have a kitchen)
  • No expensive hotel parking fees
  • No mini-bar temptations or overpriced room service
  • More space means you can bring your family along

Plus the quality of life:

  • Actual room to work and live
  • Better sleep in a quiet residential building
  • Ability to maintain your normal routines
  • Laundry whenever you need it
  • Space to exercise, cook, and decompress

Getting Your Quote

The best way to know what your stay will cost is to contact us directly. Tell us where you need to be and for how long, and we'll send you real numbers for actual available apartments. No pressure, just honest information so you can make a good decision.

We work with individuals paying out of pocket, individuals paying with a lump sum, and with companies managing corporate relocations. Either way, we keep it simple.

Questions Before You Book?

We get it. This might be your first time booking corporate housing. Here are the questions we hear most:

Life happens. Talk to us as early as possible if your move-in date shifts or you need to extend or shorten your stay. We work with you to find solutions.

Do you require a security deposit?
No security deposit needed.

What if something breaks or I need help during my stay?
You contact us directly, and we handle it. That's what we're here for. Maintenance issues, questions about the property, or just need a recommendation for the best coffee shop nearby—we're your go-to team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I need to stay?
Most corporate housing rentals start at 30 days, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter stays depending on availability. There's no maximum—stay as long as you need.

Are pets really welcome?
Yes! Many of our properties are pet-friendly. Let us know about your pet when you inquire, and we'll find the right place for both of you.

What if I need to extend my stay?
Just let us know as early as possible. We'll check availability and work to keep you in the same apartment or find you another great option nearby.

Your apartment is thoroughly cleaned before you move in. During your stay, you maintain it like your own home. If you'd like regular housekeeping services, we can help arrange that for an additional fee.

Can my family visit me?
Your apartment is your home while you're here. Visitor duration rules can vary by property, so if you're ever in doubt, reach out!

What happens if something breaks?
