Our family is moving to BR by end of summer/start of school, and we are planning on buying a house this fall. The tricky part is that the main house we are considering buying is under construction and won't be complete until October.

What does the OT recommend for short term housing -- apartments? Sublease? It's my wife and three kids, so we'd need at least 2 bedrooms and preferably 3.

Also -- if, the house above does not work out, generally we are looking at buying in either Southdowns or Pollard. Thoughts on these neighborhoods? Our kids will go to St. Aloysius.

Shouldn't you have this figured out if the house is already under construction? Or did you mean renting in either Southdowns or Pollard?

Both good neighborhoods, by the way. St. Aloysius is in Southdowns, if that helps.

When we moved in from Colorado we arranged a 6 month lease on a small home and took our time finding a home. I'm glad we did because a home came available exactly where we wanted to live in month four.

google Blackstone realty. they do alot of short term rentals for the movie industry.

also, I believe the Mansions will do short term if you want an apartment.

Southdowns and Pollard are great neighborhoods but if the house you want is under construction, how have you not already decided on a neighborhood?

Your kids already got accepted at St. Aloysius?

Southdowns and Pollard Estates are both good areas. Pollard is going to have a lot less traffic as it doesn't have a zillion cross streets/cut-throughs to main arteries.

I have a friend who rents his fully furnished 3/2 house by the month. I think he gets around $2500 for it. He rents primarily to corporate people on short term assignments. It's in the Tara/Goodwood area. If you're interested I'll find out more.

Look up Southland Properties Inc. You might be able to find a decent house to rent for a while.

Only nice family friendly apts that I know of/trust that offer short term leasing is the Gates at Citiplace. Centrally located in BR, pool, security, gated access, apts with garages.
