7 Ways Weichert Corporate Housing Helps Your Interns Thrive

    Interns move into ready-to-live spaces with furniture, housewares, linens, utilities, Wi-Fi, and streaming services. Prime locations near offices and public transit make commuting a breeze.

    Roommate matching apps, digital lease signing, and secure online payments streamline the process. Multichannel communication platforms provide real-time support for interns and HR teams.
  4. Engaging community events that foster connection and belonging.
    Interns are housed together to foster a dorm-like atmosphere. Social events in shared spaces, curated welcome packages, and local guides help interns settle in and build connections.
  5. Wellness-focused amenities and eco-conscious practices for a healthier lifestyle.
    Fitness centers, yoga spaces, air purification systems, and green cleaning products support healthy living. Energy-efficient appliances and recycling programs align with interns’ interest in sustainability.

    24/7 emergency support, proactive maintenance, and dedicated account managers ensure interns and HR teams have help whenever they need it. On-site move-in assistance and personalized welcomes make the transition smooth.
