There are times when locking in a year-long lease on an apartment simply isn’t practical. Many times life finds us “just passing through,” and if that’s where your professional, student, or personal life finds you, it's time to weigh the advantages of an extended stay apartment in Quincy, IL.
Who Should Consider Extended Stay Apartments?
If you’re going to be in the area for more than a week but can’t see yourself committing to a year-long lease, extended stay apartments can be the perfect fit.
Students
If you’re not the type who thrives on dorm living, but who also heads home for the summer months, extended-stay apartments for students are the perfect alternative to a dorm room.
Businesspeople
If you’re helping to open your company’s latest office, conducting a long-term audit, or helping to establish a new sales territory, you may want the comforts of home with more permanence than a hotel.
Helpers
Maybe you’re keeping a friend company after a tough diagnosis, guiding a loved one through end of life care, settling an estate, or helping a sibling with a new arrival while they’re on family leave. An extended stay apartment gives you respite and a home base without long-term commitments.
Relocation
Just transferred to a new job? Renovating your home? These apartments can be “home” before your permanent digs are finalized.
Life Transitions
Retirement, divorce, military transfers, testing the waters in a long-distance relationship, and other circumstances may find you in need of a place to stay short term while you’re getting life sorted out.

The Pros and Cons of Extended-Stay Apartments
Flexibility: There can be any number of reasons not to take on a long-term lease and all that goes with it. With extended stay apartments, you don’t have those commitments.
Privacy: These apartments won’t be as inexpensive as renting a room. On the other hand, you’ll have more privacy and autonomy.
Sanity: Sure, it’s cheaper to stay with friends or family. But tensions can rise fast, especially if you’re there for a situation that’s already stressful and your stay becomes longer than expected.
Fewer Headaches: With no realtor fees to deal with, no worries about breaking a lease, and many of your day-to-day needs taken care of, you’re free to focus on what’s important.

- Basic Cable
- WiFi
- Electric
- Heating
- Cooling
- Water
- Trash Removal
