Finding the right corporate housing shouldn’t feel like a compromise.
When you’re relocating for work, traveling for medical treatment, or managing a short-term assignment, your temporary home should offer more than just a place to sleep. You need comfort, flexibility, and the little details that make everyday life easier.
At Compass Furnished Apartments, we specialize in high-end corporate apartments that go beyond the basics.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the top amenities for corporate housing that help guests feel at home—whether you’re staying for a few weeks or a few months.
Why Amenities Matter
When you’re staying somewhere for more than a few days, convenience matters. The right amenities can support your productivity, reduce stress, and make your stay feel more like home.
You don’t just need a bed and a bathroom—you need a fully livable space where you can cook, do laundry, exercise, and unwind.
Thoughtful amenities also help smooth the transition. Whether you’re navigating a cross-country move or a medical appointment in a new city, having everything you need already set up can make a huge difference.
Must-Have Corporate Housing Amenities
Here are the features we believe every high-quality corporate lease housing setup should include:
Fully Furnished Apartments
Move-in ready apartments are the foundation of a great stay. At Compass, our fully furnished units include everything from plush bedding and stylish furniture to stocked kitchens and cozy living areas. It’s all curated to feel homey, not hotel-y.
Each apartment features:
- A comfortable bed with high-quality linens
- Sofa and living room setup
- Dining set and tableware
You’ll also find thoughtful decor, bathroom essentials, and everything you need to cook a proper meal. Just unpack and start living.

High-Speed Internet & Tech
Fast, reliable Wi-Fi is non-negotiable. Whether you’re video conferencing with your team or streaming your favorite show at night, our tech setup has you covered. Compass apartments come with high-speed internet, smart TVs, and workstations that can handle your workload.
Compared to standard hotel Wi-Fi, our connections are optimized for business travelers who need dependable service. According to StrongDM, remote workers spend an average of nearly 7 hours a day online—we make sure every minute counts.
In-Unit Laundry & Full Kitchen
No one wants to spend their evenings searching for a laundromat or ordering overpriced takeout. Our apartments make daily routines simple.
You’ll have access to:
- A full-size fridge for groceries and meal prep
- An oven and stove for cooking real meals
- Dishwasher for easy cleanup
- Washer and dryer right in your unit (or in the building)
Cabinet space, cookware, utensils—it’s all included. You can cook your favorite meals, do laundry when it suits you, and feel like you’re living, not just staying.

Dedicated Workspace
Today’s travelers work on the go. Our apartments are designed with that in mind. We provide dedicated work areas equipped with ergonomic chairs, solid desks, and good lighting.
It’s more than just a table and chair. These setups are created for focus and comfort, helping remote workers and business travelers get things done without distractions.
On-Site Fitness Centers or Gyms
Staying active while away from home is tough—unless the gym is downstairs. We offer fitness options that help you stay on track with your wellness routine. Depending on the building, you’ll find cardio machines, strength training equipment, or even a yoga area to unwind after work.
A quick workout can make a big difference in your energy, mood, and productivity. And with the gym steps away, there are no excuses.
Parking & Transportation Access
Easy access to parking or public transit is a game-changer, especially in busy cities. At Compass, many of our properties offer secure, on-site parking and close proximity to transit hubs.
Guests in cities like Boston, Stamford, and New Haven can expect convenient locations near office districts, hospitals, and key amenities. We also support ride-share access and shuttle options where available.
