Housing for Travel Nurses & Medical Professionals

You Save Lives. We Help You Sleep.

A travel nursing contract is lucrative, but it is also exhausting. After a 12-hour shift at Duke or WakeMed, the last thing you want to deal with is a loud apartment complex, a sketchy parking lot, or a landlord who doesn’t understand what night shift means.

Carolina Furnished Rentals (CFR) provides specialized housing for the medical community. We offer safe, quiet, single-family homes that allow you to decompress, sleep, and maximize your housing stipend.

The Sleep-Ready Standard

Are your homes quiet enough for night-shift workers?

Yes. We understand the physiology of shift work.

  • No Shared Walls: Unlike an apartment, our single-family homes mean you don’t hear your neighbor’s TV at 2 PM.
  • Blackout Solutions: We prioritize window treatments that facilitate daytime sleeping in primary bedrooms.
  • Quiet Neighborhoods: We explicitly screen for residential areas away from construction zones and university “party” districts.

Do you have housing near the major hospitals?

Yes. We have strategic inventory near the Triangle’s “Big Three”:

  • Duke University Hospital / Durham VA: Our Durham homes (like Omah St) are 10–15 minutes from the parking decks.
  • WakeMed (Raleigh & Cary): Our ITB and Cary inventory offers short commutes to both the New Bern Ave and Kildaire Farm campuses.
  • UNC Medical Center: Accessible from our South Durham and Chapel Hill-adjacent properties.

01

Private Driveways:

You park right at your door. No walking through dark parking garages.

02

Smart Locks:

Keyless entry means you never fumble for keys in the dark.

03

Verified Neighborhoods:

We only operate in established communities with low crime rates. We do not buy “cheap flips” in transitional areas.

Is it safe for a solo traveler to come home late?

Safety & Security

Yes. Safety is our #1 screening criteria for acquiring a property.

We know that many of our guests are single females arriving home at 7:30 PM or 4:00 AM.

Stipend Economics

How does renting from CFR help maximize my stipend?

We offer more value than a hotel or agency placement.

  • The Math: Agency-placed housing often takes a huge chunk of your pay package. By taking the full housing stipend and booking your own CFR rental, you often secure a whole house for the price of a corporate apartment.
  • Tax Advantage: If you extend your contract past 90 days, your stay becomes tax-exempt under NC law, saving you ~13% instantly (which goes straight back into your pocket).

Do you offer 13-week leases?

Yes. We align our leases with standard travel contract lengths.

If your contract gets extended (which happens often at Duke/Wake), we offer “First Right of Refusal” to extend your lease so you don’t have to move.

The Fur Baby Factor

Can I bring my dog?

Yes. We know your dog is your emotional support on the road.

The CFR Difference: Hotels have weight limits. Apartments have breed restrictions and elevators. Our homes have fenced yards. You can open the back door and let your dog out in the morning while you make coffee—no leash required.
