Intern Housing

Housing built to support top-tier intern programs

Intern housing refers to fully furnished, short-term or mid-term accommodations aligned with corporate internship, co-op, apprenticeship, and early-career rotational programs.

Unlike student housing or unmanaged rentals, intern housing prioritizes:
> Safety and proximity to workplaces
> Move-in-ready, fully furnished spaces
> Flexible dates that match program timelines
> Walkability and transit access
> Streamlined communication and support
> A positive living experience that strengthens employer brand

Housing plays a meaningful role in intern satisfaction—and directly influences engagement and conversion to full-time roles.

> Summer internship cohorts
