Are the rooms furnished?

We believe moving should feel simple.


That’s why our homes come fully furnished in all shared spaces, with the essentials you need to settle in comfortably from day one. Just bring your suitcase — we’ve handled the rest.


We furnish common areas thoughtfully so the home feels complete, functional, and welcoming the moment you walk in.


🍳 Kitchen – Ready for Everyday Living

Our kitchens are set up so you can cook, store food, and share meals without needing to purchase the basics.


Included:

  • Full set of pots and pans
  • Cooking utensils (spatulas, ladles, tongs, etc.)
  • Knife block
  • Cutting boards
  • Plates and bowls
  • Glassware
  • Mugs
  • Silverware
  • Mixing bowls

Everything you need to prepare meals and enjoy them together — without duplicating supplies.

Included:

  • Couch(es)
  • Lounge chair(s)
  • Coffee table
  • Side tables
  • Lamps
  • Rugs
  • Wall art and decor
  • High-speed WiFi

Whether it’s catching up after work or hosting a casual gathering, the space is ready.


🍽 Dining & Shared Areas

We make sure the home functions well for everyday life.


Included:

  • Dining table and chairs
  • Common area lighting
  • Thoughtfully arranged shared layouts


Our goal is to create spaces that feel cohesive and move-in ready — not pieced together.


🛏 Bedrooms – Designed for Personalization

In most of our homes, bedrooms are unfurnished so you can design a space that reflects your style and comfort preferences.

We’ve partnered with IKEA to make furnishing easy and affordable. Residents can purchase an Essentials Kit, which typically includes:

  • Bed frame
  • Mattress
  • Desk
  • Chair
  • Dresser
  • Nightstand
  • Lighting

This gives you flexibility while keeping costs manageable.


🏡 Furnished Room Option – Dillard (Durham)

At our Dillard location in Durham, we offer a limited number of fully furnished bedrooms.


These rooms include:

  • Bed frame
  • Mattress
  • Dresser
  • Desk
  • Chair
  • Nightstand

Furnished rooms at Dillard are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are ideal for residents relocating, staying short-term, or seeking a turnkey move-in experience.


What to Bring

To make your move smooth, we recommend bringing:

  • Bedding (sheets, comforter, pillows)
  • Towels
  • Personal toiletries
  • Clothing and storage organizers
  • Personal decor


Why We Furnish Shared Spaces (But Not Every Bedroom)

Buying furniture for an entire apartment can cost thousands of dollars — and moving it is no small task.


By furnishing shared spaces:

  • You avoid large upfront expenses
  • You don’t have to move bulky items
  • The home feels cohesive and intentional
  • Everyone benefits from shared essentials


By keeping most bedrooms unfurnished:

  • You control your comfort
  • You choose your style
  • You avoid paying for furniture you may not want


It’s a balance of simplicity, flexibility, and thoughtful design.
