Overview: Housing Across the "Triangle"

Find the perfect temporary housing location in NC.

Overview

Housing Across the "Triangle"

Carolina Furnished Rentals (CFR) primarily serves the Research Triangle Park (RTP) region—a sprawling area comprising Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill—as well as the coastal hub of Wilmington.

Choosing the right location is just as important as choosing the right house. A “Travel Nurse” working at Duke Hospital needs a different location than a “Biotech Contractor” working at Amgen in Holly Springs.

Our co-founder, Amanda (Licensed NC Broker), advises clients to choose their location based on their daily commute and lifestyle needs.
