5 Tips To Find The Right Furnished Apartment For Rent

10/24/2017

5 Comments

 
Have you have been assigned to a project team in another city or received an internship with a company in Lafayette, La and need corporate housing accommodations? 

This exciting opportunity to develop your skills, do some networking and of course explore Louisiana comes with some decision making. However exciting this may be, an experienced traveler would warn that staying in a cramped hotel is less than desirable when working short term assignments. Lucky for you, our fair city has several short term lease options in luxury apartment communities to make the most of your stay.

But how exactly do you choose the right one for yourself? Lets get started with finding a furnished apartment in Lafayette, Louisiana:
  1. Referrals Are Best - If you're the type to ask your friends about a restaurant before you decide to dine there, then the best ways to start your search with is through referrals. People who have already been through this have a better idea of your situation. Moreover, they will be able to give you more detailed and relevant information. They'll be able to share their experiences with living arrangements to must attend events and of course where you must eat while in town. Not only will you gain great insight what to do, you will more than likely gain a list of what to avoid.
  2. Take a good look at photos - Once your referrals are in place, make time to visit the various properties websites and be sure that you browse their photos of the property and floor plans. Keep in mind, when viewing photos online, communities tend to use their best photos - much like you wouldnt post a bad picture of yourself on social media - they probably wont post areas of the property that are less than picture perfect. It is possible that what looks light filled and like a huge room in one photo, could actually turn out to be a closet when you see it in person. The more photos you see, the more likely is it that the property isnt trying to hide something. So, take a thorough look at a number of photos.
  3. Amenities - Start with making a list of amenities that are important to you. Are you passionate about working out and would love to have an onsite gym? Would you like shopping to be within walking distance? Do you like the hustle and bustle of downtown living, or prefer open spaces? The more you know about what you need the easier it will be for you make a shortlist. For instance, at the Gardens of Lafayette we offer a number of on-site amenities that make life a little easier, such as a community clubhouse for socializing, on-site movie theatre, complimentary coffee bar, garages, storage units, kids parks, pet parks, tanning salon, car care center and we are a gated community with onsite management and maintenance.
  4. Research - When looking for a furnished apartment, be sure to do your online research. First start by searching for furnished apartments in Lafayette, La or short term leases in Lafayette, La. The more knowledge you have of market availability, and your needs/wants the better equipped and more productive your search will be.
  5. Get into reality While it is tempting to handle living arrangements over the phone and online, you will really want to make the time to visit your potential new home. Making arrangements for a for a night or two in a hotel won't matter much if your room is not up to your expectation. However, it could turn out to be a nightmare or even dangerous if you are staying an extended period of time.

We hope our list of tips help you find yourself a beautiful, safe and furnished apartment for rent in Lafayette, Louisiana. Be sure to include Lafayette Gardens Apartments in your research, you can take our photo tour here.

I'm planning to rent an apartment that is near my new office, which is why I'm currently looking for a real estate company that may help me locate one. Well, I agree with you that it would be best to seek referrals from friends that have encountered the same matter. You're also right about the importance of scrutinizing the place if it's near any onsite gym or shopping malls.

My cousin has been thinking about renting an apartment that can be a lot closer to her friends, and job. Making sure that she can get some help from a professional could help her choose the right place. I'll be sure to tell her about how she should ask her friends where she should move, and get the right information, and look at the pictures of the place.

Creating a list of amenities that are significant to you seems effective for me. I should do it when looking for a temporary housing rental on the destination I'm planning to go to next. I'm going on a long vacation, so it's perfect timing that I saw your post.
