Insurance & Disaster Housing in Boston
Furnished Temporary Housing for Policyholders, Displaced Families, and Insurance Adjusters
When fire, water damage, smoke, severe weather, or another home loss makes a residence temporarily unlivable, finding a safe and comfortable place to stay quickly becomes a priority.
STARS of Boston provides fully furnished, move-in-ready apartments for policyholders and families who need temporary housing in Greater Boston while their homes are being repaired, restored, or rebuilt. We also work directly with insurance adjusters and authorized housing coordinators to help make the placement process clear and manageable.
Our furnished apartments typically include:
- High-speed Wi-Fi and essential utilities
- Fully equipped kitchens
- Linens, towels, kitchenware, and household essentials
- In-unit laundry in many apartments
- Comfortable living spaces for individuals, couples, and families
With the major pieces already in place, guests can arrive with less setup and begin rebuilding a normal day-to-day routine. Stays may range from a few days or weeks to several months, depending on the apartment, availability, and the needs of the placement.
Temporary Housing After Fire, Water Damage & Other Home Losses
Insurance displacement can happen with little warning. Our apartments can provide a practical housing solution after fire or smoke damage, water damage or burst pipes, storm-related damage, major repairs, restoration work, or other events that result in a temporary loss of use.
Compared with moving between short hotel stays, a furnished apartment provides more space, privacy, and stability. Full kitchens and residential living areas allow policyholders to cook, work, rest, care for family members, and maintain everyday routines while the claim and repair process continues.
Our portfolio includes studios, one-bedroom apartments, and larger multi-bedroom residences. Select apartments are pet-friendly, and we are happy to help identify suitable options when pets are part of the household.
Depending on the situation and provider availability, our partner network may also be able to assist with childcare coordination, pet care resources, car service, cleaning services, and other practical needs.
For Insurance Adjusters & ALE Placements
We understand that adjusters and housing coordinators need timely options, clear terms, accurate property information, and responsive communication. STARS of Boston can serve as a direct point of coordination throughout the temporary housing placement.
We can assist with:
- Identifying available apartments based on location, household size, timing, and budget parameters
- Providing clear housing terms and property details for review
- Coordinating move-in details with the policyholder or authorized contact
- Responding to extension requests and changing repair timelines, subject to availability
We are familiar with insurance-related temporary housing and Additional Living Expense (ALE) placements. For those unfamiliar with the term, ALE is coverage included in many property insurance policies that may help pay for temporary housing and other increased living costs when a covered loss makes a home uninhabitable. Coverage, approval requirements, limits, and payment arrangements vary by policy and carrier, so those details should always be confirmed with the policyholder's insurance company or adjuster.

Our apartments are located throughout Greater Boston, including Brookline, Brighton, Cambridge, Newton, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Downtown, the South End, Dorchester, and Boston Landing.

We maintain a curated portfolio of furnished, move-in-ready apartments throughout Greater Boston for temporary and extended stays.
A Straightforward, Flexible Experience
We understand that temporary housing after a home loss often needs to be arranged quickly and that repair timelines can change. Our process is designed to reduce uncertainty and keep the placement moving, with:
- Fast, direct communication
- Transparent terms and property information
- Consistent, well-maintained apartments
- Move-in coordination and ongoing support
Where availability allows, we can help coordinate extensions or revised departure dates so a household can remain in one place rather than making another temporary move.
To help us identify suitable options quickly, it is helpful to provide the preferred move-in date, location, number of occupants, bedroom needs, pets, and estimated length of stay when inquiring.
As a member of the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) and a WBENC-certified business, we operate in alignment with established industry standards and best practices, providing an added layer of professionalism and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temporary housing options are available after fire, water, or other property damage in Boston?
STARS of Boston provides fully furnished, move-in-ready apartments for individuals and families who need temporary housing after fire, smoke, water damage, severe weather, major repairs, or another loss that makes a home temporarily unlivable. Options can include studios, one-bedroom apartments, and larger multi-bedroom residences depending on current availability.
Can insurance companies and adjusters arrange furnished housing for policyholders?
Yes. STARS works directly with insurance adjusters, authorized housing coordinators, and policyholders to arrange temporary furnished housing. The team can provide housing options and terms, coordinate move-in details, and serve as a point of contact throughout the placement.
How quickly can temporary housing be arranged after a covered property loss?
STARS understands that displacement often happens unexpectedly and can work to identify suitable available options as quickly as possible. Providing the preferred move-in date, location, household size, bedroom needs, pets, and estimated length of stay can help streamline the search.
Can a furnished housing stay be extended if home repairs take longer than expected?
Often, yes, subject to apartment availability. Because repair and restoration timelines can change, STARS can help coordinate an extension or revised departure date where possible so the household can avoid making another temporary move.
What is included in furnished temporary housing for displaced residents?
Apartments typically include essential utilities, high-speed Wi-Fi, equipped kitchens, linens, towels, kitchenware, household essentials, and furnished living areas, with in-unit laundry available in many properties. Specific amenities vary by apartment, so property details should be reviewed for each placement.
Why choose a furnished apartment instead of a hotel during an extended home repair?
For a longer displacement, a furnished apartment can provide more space, privacy, and stability than moving between hotel rooms. Having a kitchen and residential living areas also makes it easier for individuals and families to cook, work, rest, and maintain everyday routines while repairs continue.
