Furnished vs. Unfurnished Mid-Term Rentals
Furnished Mid-Term Rentals
A furnished property may be the better choice when you're only staying for a few months.
Depending on the property, furnishings may include:
-
Bed and mattress
-
Sofa
-
Dining furniture
-
Television
-
Kitchen appliances
-
Cookware
-
Workspace
-
Linens
Always confirm exactly what "furnished" means for a specific property.
Unfurnished Mid-Term Rentals
Unfurnished housing may make sense for longer stays or residents bringing their own furniture.
However, calculate the cost and inconvenience of:
-
Furniture
-
Delivery
-
Assembly
-
Moving
-
Storage
-
Removing furniture when your stay ends
For a 30–90 day assignment, furnished housing is often more practical.
What Does a Mid-Term Rental in Philadelphia Cost?
There isn't one standard Philadelphia mid-term rental price.
Your monthly cost depends on:
Neighborhood + Bedroom Count + Furnishings + Length of Stay + Amenities + Parking + Utilities + Season + Availability
A furnished studio or one-bedroom will typically cost less than a furnished three-bedroom residence in the same neighborhood.
Premium Center City locations may also cost considerably more than housing farther from downtown.
Instead of asking only:
"How much is a mid-term rental in Philadelphia?"
A better question is:
"What can I get for my monthly budget within an acceptable commute of where I need to be?"
That's how The Blue Haven Group approaches a housing request.
Amenities to Consider Before Choosing a Mid-Term Rental
Don't choose a property based solely on photographs.
For a stay lasting several months, everyday conveniences matter.
Consider whether you need:
Laundry
-
In-unit washer/dryer
-
Building laundry
-
Nearby laundry
Internet
-
Wi-Fi included
-
Internet-ready
-
Tenant establishes service
Utilities
Determine whether your monthly payment includes:
-
Electricity
-
Gas
-
Water
-
Internet
-
Trash
Kitchen
Ask whether the property has a full kitchen and, for furnished housing, what cookware and kitchen items are included.
Workspace
Remote workers and professionals may want a desk or dedicated work area.
Building Amenities
Some apartment buildings may offer:
-
Fitness center
-
Elevator
-
Doorman
-
Package room
-
Business center
-
Rooftop
-
Controlled access
Amenities vary by property.
Parking Can Change Your Housing Decision
Philadelphia parking varies significantly by neighborhood.
Before selecting a mid-term rental, determine whether you need:
Dedicated Parking
A private space assigned to the residence.
Garage Parking
May be included or available for an additional fee.
Permit Street Parking
Some areas may require residential parking permits.
Street Parking
Availability can vary by block and time of day.
No Parking Needed
If you'll rely on walking, SEPTA or rideshare, you may have considerably more housing options.
Tell us whether parking is a requirement, preference or unnecessary.
How Our Availability Status Works
Mid-term rental availability changes constantly.
A property available today may be reserved for your dates tomorrow.
For that reason, The Blue Haven Group does not recommend relying on an old webpage to determine whether a specific residence is currently available.
Instead, our housing searches are based on your actual dates and requirements.
Possible availability statuses may include:
AVAILABLE
The property is currently being considered as available for the requested dates, subject to final confirmation and applicable requirements.
COMING AVAILABLE
The property is expected to become available for a future date.
LIMITED AVAILABILITY
Only certain units, bedroom counts or dates may be available.
WAITLIST / INQUIRE
Contact us regarding future availability.
UNAVAILABLE
The property is not currently available for the requested dates.
Always confirm availability before making plans or assuming a property is reserved.
