People coming for a rotation can use a furnished home for 30 nights or longer. Apartments are $3300–$4250 per 30 nights. Houses range $5000–$16000 per 30 nights, utilities and Wi-Fi included. Houston’s reputation for having the best hospitals in the country has created an unintended problem – a shortage of doctors to accommodate patient needs. Hopefully, there will be a solution to that problem in the near future. Last month, Governor Greg Abbott created a bill which will bring a new medical school to the University of Houston. The new school will be called the University of Houston’s College of Medicine and it will be Texas’s 13th school of medicine. Almost half of those schools are located right here in The Space City. Once the school is up and running, community supporters hope that it’ll help meet the growing need for physicians. The demand for new physicians comes from multiple fronts. First, the Texas Medical Center (TMC) houses M.D. Anderson and the Children’s Hospital. Collectively, these hospitals are considered to be the largest medical complex in the world. More than 160,000 people visit the Texas Medical Center each day ([Texas Medical Center campus](https://www.tmc.edu/operations/tmc-campus/)), and many of those visitors come from all over the world. Secondly, the population of Houston is booming. Houston’s population is still growing. Considering that the U.S. is already facing [physician shortages](http://www.tmc.edu/news/2018/09/bracing-for-a-deficit-of-doctors/), it’s easy to see why new physicians are needed in the Houston region.

With an influx of medical students, new doctors, patients, and new residents coming to Houston, this could create a temporary housing shortage. More people will be looking for places to call home. Houston realtors will be busy trying to meet the needs of homebuyers. Housing rentals will be more in demand and the best upscale homes will quickly be occupied. What does this mean for new residents moving to Houston or patients visiting the medical center? It means that the best housing solution may be a luxury short-term rental home. ## Why is a luxury short-term rental right for medical students, patients, or new residents?

You could take your time and live in an upscale home until you make the best choice for you and your family. Staying in a luxury rental also means you have everything you need. You wouldn’t have to run out and purchase furniture. A short-term rental is furnished and comes with a number of amenities. Most are located in some of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the Houston area. Many are conveniently located to Houston’s TMC and the university where new med students will soon be attending. A luxury short-term rental is a win-win for all of these situations. ## Find the best short-term housing rental for you.
