City Housing Guides

Neighborhoods, prices, and housing strategies for 20 popular travel therapy destinations.

What each city guide covers

Each guide in this collection follows the same outline, so you can compare destinations side by side before you accept an assignment. It starts with the neighborhoods to start a search in that city, then where to search for furnished housing, how to think about your housing stipend there, and how people get around town.

The guides point to the same places to search for housing in every city: Furnished Finder, Airbnb and Facebook Groups, plus each city’s own local leads.
