I was in an apartment for 4 years, but rent was going up, and I wanted to save money to buy a house. With utilities and furnishings included here, I’m saving between $300- $400 /month which is helping me repair my credit and save money for a down payment.

I was in an apartment for 4 years, but rent was going up, and I wanted to save money to buy a house. With utilities and furnishings included here, I’m saving between $300- $400 per month which is helping me repair my credit and save money for a down payment.
“I was moving from out of state, and I wanted a place where I could just pay rent with utilities included, but this is the nicest house I’ve ever seen.”
“I don’t have any family here, and I can’t afford an apartment on my salary ($1,200/month), so this is really the best and only option that makes sense for me. I just like to come home from work and keep to myself, and I can do that here.”
Well landscaped, and professionally maintained, a PadSplit is likely to be the cutest house on the block. Updated interiors feature modern appliances and clean stylish decor. We strive to ensure that our residents are proud to call their PadSplit home, and that neighbors are happy to have one next door.
Our model is intended to be accountable to our residents, property owners, and the public. We maintain stringent requirements that ensure safety & quality, and our website will allow residents to publicly review and rate their homes, providing strong market incentives to owners to maintain our high standards.
Because PadSplits use space more efficiently and combine all living expenses into one low fixed payment, they provide the most affordable option for singles and couples in any marketplace. And since PadSplits provide all necessary furniture, and on-site laundry, we make it easy to move in without any significant up-front investment.
Yes. PadSplits were designed with safety as the top priority. Our requirements include multiple fire-safety measures including smoke alarms and 2 points of egress in every bedroom and fire extinguishers in every unit.
Each room has a privacy lock, and each home has exterior deadbolt locks that are changed when residents relocate. Additionally, PadSplit conducts background and criminal history checks on each resident to ensure the safety of all our guests.
PadSplits are more affordable than any housing option on the private market. Even for residents who are living on very low fixed income, PadSplits remain a viable, affordable, and dignified living arrangement.
By combining all utilities, furnishings, and laundry into one low fixed payment, PadSplits make budgeting very simple, without any risk of fluctuating utility costs that can be a major financial challenge for these individuals.
-PROFITABILITY – PadSplits can improve profitability by 20% or more
-REDUCED VACANCY COST – PadSplits have lower vacancy rates than stand-alone units
-LOWER RISK OF VANDALISM / THEFT – Because PadSplits are occupied more often by more people, risk of burglary or property vandalism is lower than traditional units.
-LOWER LONG-TERM CAPITAL EXPENDITURES – Our experience has shown us that residents are more likely to take better care of space they share with other strangers than space they occupy alone or with their families. Combined with reduced vacancy cost, this improved behavior has resulted in fewer “hard turns,” and a reduction in ongoing capital expenditures.
BENEFICIAL SOCIAL IMPACT– Although many landlords may be motivated primarily by the improved financial performance, the PadSplit model offers socially-minded property owners the ability to “do good while doing well.”
-AFFORDABILITY – Singles in the workforce have few if any available market rate housing options in the market. PadSplit provides a safe, affordable, and attractive option for singles and couples.
-PROXIMITY TO SERVICES – Since PadSplits use existing single family and multifamily housing stock without the need for subsidies, they can provide affordable housing in areas that were previously inaccessible closer to centers of employment, healthcare or human services.
-CONVENIENCE – Since PadSplits include all utilities, furnishings, wifi, cable, and laundry into one fixed payment, residents have less to worry about, and can focus on building their savings or furthering their careers.
-EASE OF USE– PadSplits don’t require any long term commitments and have low move-in payments. A resident can stay or a week or a decade. Existing residents can move to a new unit in as little as 24 hours; new residents can move in as soon as 48 hours after application.
BETTER ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES– With an affordable fixed payment, closer proximity to employment centers, located in mixed income communities, residents are much more likely to discover more economic opportunities than they would if they were trapped in a distressed neighborhood distant from their workplace.
