The go-to platform for travel healthcare professionals. Search Denver for furnished rentals specifically marketed to travelers. Listings include landlords who understand 13-week leases and are used to working with healthcare travelers. Start your search 3-4 weeks before your assignment.
Great for the first 1-2 weeks while you scout in person, or for the entire assignment if you find a good monthly rate. Message hosts directly to negotiate — mention you're a healthcare professional on a 13-week assignment. Many hosts offer significant discounts for monthly bookings vs. nightly rates.
Search "Denver travel nurse housing" or "Denver furnished rentals" on Facebook. Travel healthcare housing groups often have listings not found elsewhere. Also check local "Denver rooms for rent" groups.
Once you arrive, ask coworkers where previous travelers stayed. Facilities in Denver have had travelers before — someone knows the best local options. This insider knowledge often leads to the best deals.
GSA stipend rates for Denver typically range from $1,800-$2,400/month. Your goal is to find housing for less than your stipend — the difference is tax-free money in your pocket.
Check current GSA rates for the specific county where your facility is located — rates vary by county and season.
Consider proximity to your facility when choosing housing. A cheaper apartment 30 minutes away may cost more in gas, time, and stress than a pricier place 10 minutes from work. Most travel therapists in Denver drive, but check public transit options if you prefer not to have a car.
