relocating to Winston-Salem (Durham, Clemmons: apartments, rent , hospitals)

[headdr]

My wife and I are planning to relocate to the Winston-Salem area in July. Ideally, we would like to rent first for 2-3 months in order to have time to check out different areas. Is anyone aware of any "service" that would help us find a place (house/apartment) for such a short period of time. Also, we have a large dog. Thank you in advance!

Rather than renting, why not just stay at a place like Residence Inn, and just pay by the week?

When you guys decide to purchase a home...I would strongly suggest Clemmons. You are about 15 minutes west of downtown W-S and under 10 minutes from the Hanes Mall area (that is where just about everything is) and within 10-15 minutes from the 3 hospitals. Very convenient location. Clemmons has very good schools and a very good reputation. Clemmons has become quite Upscale over the years.

GOOD LUCK!

We currently live in W-S but are relocating to Durham. The Ardmore area has lots of houses for rent- its near the hospital. However, I am not sure they'd only want 2-3 months. There are some corporate apartments that might offer shorter terms- try Crowne Polo.

Thank you! We are actually thinking of the Clemmons area...had a chance to check it out during my interview visit.
