Welcome to Gainesville. Fully furnished short-term rentals to call home while you explore the city and find your perfect place.

A SOFT LANDING IN YOUR NEW CITY

Your first weeks in Gainesville, made easy

Moving to a new city is a big leap. Before you sign a lease or buy a home, give yourself room to breathe. UPKEY's fully furnished short-term rentals let you live in Gainesville first — getting to know the neighborhoods, the rhythm of the city, and where you actually want to plant roots.

Skip the rushed decisions and the hotel bills. Settle into a real home with a full kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and a quiet space to plan your next steps. Whether you're scouting from out of state, between homes, or just escaping a colder climate for a season, you'll have everything you need from the moment you arrive.

Made for newcomers:

• Stays from a few days to several months
• Fully furnished homes in walkable, well-loved Gainesville neighborhoods
• Pet-friendly options to bring the whole household
• Easy access to schools, shopping, hospitals, and UF
• Local recommendations from our team to help you get oriented

Take your time. Find your place. We'll handle the home part.
