Where to Live While Waiting for Your New Home Construction

03.12.2025

Where to Live While Waiting for Your New Home Construction  Building a custom home is exciting. It's a chance to design a space that reflects your family's needs, style, and future. But anyone who has gone through the process knows that unexpected delays are common—supply chain issues, weather disruptions, or permit holdups can extend timelines by weeks or even months.
 

Where Do You Live While Building a House?

The right temporary housing during construction ensures your family stays comfortable and settled while waiting for move-in day. Instead of scrambling for last-minute solutions, choosing a fully furnished home makes the transition seamless.
 

The Benefits of Choosing Temporary Housing While Building

A fully furnished apartment provides a turnkey solution that keeps your family comfortable without having to move furniture, set up utilities, and deal with unpredictable lease terms. Here's how AVE's fully furnished apartments make the transition seamless:
 

Move-In Ready Convenience

Packing, storing, and unpacking furniture is time-consuming and costly. Choosing a fully furnished apartment sets you up to keep living immediately.

AVE's fully furnished apartments come with everything needed for a comfortable, home-like stay:
  • Dedicated living spaces with modern, stylish furniture in every room
  • A fully equipped kitchen with appliances, cookware, dishware, and glassware
  • Bed and bath linens
  • A washer and dryer in your apartment for everyday convenience
  • Utilities and high-speed Wi-Fi set up before move-in
  • Pet friendly with no breed or weight restrictions
All you need to bring are personal belongings, and AVE takes care of the rest.
 

A Seamless Solution for Families

Managing a home build is already a full-time commitment—dealing with construction delays, coordinating with contractors, and making design choices. Finding temporary housing while building should be seamless.

A fully serviced apartment offers flexible lease options for a few weeks or a few months, utility setup, and all furnishings included. AVE provides high-touch, award-winning service, flexible lease terms, and a smooth transition so families can focus on their new home's progress, not their temporary living situation.
 

Family-Friendly Amenities That Feel Like Home

A temporary home should be more than just a place to stay—it should support your family's lifestyle.

AVE's family-friendly features include:
  • Pet-friendly accommodations with no breed or weight restrictions
  • Outdoor green spaces
  • Fitness centers and wellness classes to maintain daily routines
  • Resort-style pools and lounge areas for family downtime
  • Abundant flex work space with high-speed Wi-Fi so you can work outside your apartment in individual work pods or professional conference rooms
In AVE communities, families can maintain a sense of normalcy while enjoying upscale amenities that make the transition easier.
 

How to Choose the Right Temporary Housing for Families

Not all temporary housing during construction is the same. The right choice should fit your family's needs, provide a sense of security, and offer flexibility for shifting timelines.

For example, commuting back and forth to check on progress, meet with contractors, and handle last-minute decisions is easier when temporary housing is close to the construction site. Look for locations with easy access to your future neighborhood, schools, and daily essentials like grocery stores and healthcare providers.

A temporary home should also provide peace of mind and a welcoming environment. Look for housing that offers:
  • Secure access and on-site management for added safety
  • Community events and shared spaces to foster connections
  • Quiet, residential settings that feel like home
AVE communities offer all of these features, creating a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere during the transition.

Finally, look for flexible lease terms that account for unpredictable timelines. Home construction timelines often shift. Some projects finish ahead of schedule, while others face unexpected delays. Renting while building a house should provide flexibility, not rigid contracts that cause added stress. AVE's flexible leasing options allow families to adjust their stay as needed, ensuring they have a comfortable home for as long—or as little—as they need.
 

Tips for Creating a "Home Away from Home" in a Temporary Space

A temporary home doesn't have to feel temporary. Small adjustments can make a furnished apartment feel warm, familiar, and truly yours. The following are three simple ways to create a sense of home and stability while you wait for move-in day:
 
  1. Personalize with Familiar Items
    Even in a furnished apartment, small personal touches make a space feel like home. Bring along family photos, favorite blankets, and go-to kitchen gadgets to maintain a sense of familiarity.
  2. Stick to Daily Routines
    A predictable routine helps children adjust to temporary housing. Use AVE's community amenities—whether it's a morning walk, an after-school swim, or a designated workspace—to maintain structure.
  3. Get to Know Your Temporary Community
    Building a home is about more than just the house—it's about establishing roots in a new area. Take advantage of AVE's convenient locations to explore nearby parks, restaurants, shopping, and attractions before move-in day.

Building Your Dream Home

Waiting for your custom home to be completed doesn't mean sacrificing comfort or stability. Choosing temporary housing during construction should be a seamless experience.

AVE's fully furnished apartments offer the perfect solution for families renting while building a house. With flexible lease terms, family-friendly amenities, and high-touch service, AVE makes the transition effortless.
