Crews working in the Midland Basin need housing that matches the job length. For assignments of 3 months or longer, a furnished apartment beats a man camp or hotel room. A private door, a full kitchen, a washer and dryer in the unit, and one monthly bill make sense when the project runs half a year or more. ACHS rents fully furnished apartments by the month in Midland at Mesquite Terraces, with a 3-month minimum stay and terms up to 24 months.
Three housing options for multi-month oilfield assignments
Crews working in the Midland Basin typically need housing for 3 to 24 months. The job might be a drilling campaign, a pipeline tie-in, a construction project, or a turnaround that stretches across two seasons.
Three options show up most often: man camps, extended-stay hotels, and monthly furnished apartments. Man camps house multiple people in shared trailers with communal showers, kitchens, and laundry. Extended-stay hotels offer small rooms with a microwave and mini-fridge. Monthly furnished apartments give each crew member or team a private unit with a full kitchen, an in-unit washer and dryer, and one monthly bill.
For jobs of 3 months or longer, a furnished apartment gives each person privacy, a real kitchen to cook meals after a 12-hour shift, in-unit laundry, and one monthly bill that covers rent, utilities, cable, and internet. No shared showers, no walking across a parking lot with a basket at midnight, no surprise charges.
ACHS rents fully furnished apartments by the month in Midland at Mesquite Terraces. Every unit is furnished with sheets, towels, dishes, and housewares, plus a washer and dryer in the apartment. All utilities, cable, and internet are included in one monthly bill.
Why a furnished apartment works better than a man camp for longer assignments
Man camps house multiple people in shared trailers with communal showers, kitchens, and laundry. After 3 or 6 months, the shared facilities wear thin. A crew member finishes a 12-hour shift, drives back, and waits in line for a shower. The kitchen is crowded at meal times. The laundry room runs out of open machines. The noise from the next bunk carries through the wall.
After a 12-hour shift, a crew member needs a private door, a quiet bedroom, and a shower that is not shared with others. A furnished apartment gives each person or team their own space: a private kitchen to cook meals on their own schedule, a washer and dryer in the unit so laundry happens when it is convenient.
The privacy matters more as the assignment stretches past 3 months. A crew member working in the Permian for 6 or 12 months needs a place that feels like home, not a barracks. A private apartment means rest between shifts, space to unwind, and a kitchen to cook real food instead of relying on fast food.
ACHS apartments are not man camps: each unit has its own entrance, full kitchen with a stove and oven, and an in-unit washer and dryer. Crew members or teams get a private space with no shared facilities. The setup works for individuals and for whole crews who need multiple units in the same building.
What makes a monthly furnished apartment different from an extended-stay hotel
Hotel rooms have a microwave and mini-fridge, not a full stove, oven, and counter space for meal prep after a shift. A crew member working 12-hour days needs to cook real meals, not reheat takeout every night. A furnished apartment includes a full kitchen with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and counter space, plus dishes, pots, pans, and utensils.
Most hotels make you haul laundry to a shared facility or pay per load. After a long shift, no one wants to sit in a hotel laundry room waiting for a machine to free up. A furnished apartment includes a washer and dryer inside the unit. Laundry happens on the crew member’s schedule, in their own space, with no quarters and no waiting.
ACHS includes all utilities, cable, and internet in one monthly bill. No separate accounts to set up, no surprise charges for overages. The crew or the company pays one bill, and everything is covered.
What to look for in oilfield housing in Midland
Match the lease term to the job. If the assignment runs 6 months, a provider with a 1-year minimum will not fit. If the job might extend or shrink, ask whether the lease allows flexibility. ACHS rents by the month with a 3-month minimum and terms up to 24 months.
Check what is included when a provider says the apartment is furnished. Furnished means different things. Some providers include only a bed and a couch. Others include sheets, towels, dishes, and a washer and dryer in the unit. Confirm what the crew will find when they walk in the door: is the kitchen stocked with dishes and cookware, are the beds made, or do crew members need to buy sheets and towels.
One bill or many makes a difference over a 6-month job. Some providers leave utilities, internet, and cable to the renter. The crew sets up accounts, pays separate bills, and deals with service issues. Others bundle everything into the monthly rate.
If you are booking for a crew, ask whether you deal with the owner’s team or a third-party locator who adds a markup. If crew members travel with dogs, confirm the property is pet-friendly and ask about pet fees.
How ACHS handles corporate housing for oilfield crews in Midland
ACHS owns and operates Mesquite Terraces in Midland and Faudree Ranch in Odessa. Together the two properties have 588 apartment homes. ACHS is owner-operated, so bookers talk directly to the owner’s team from the first call to move-in. No broker, no third-party housing vendor, no markup. One point of contact answers questions, confirms availability, and coordinates move-in.
Every apartment is fully furnished with sheets, towels, dishes, and a washer and dryer in the unit. All utilities, cable, and internet are included in one monthly bill. The apartments include a 24-hour gym on site and are pet-friendly, with pet fees that apply.
ACHS houses individuals and whole crews: oil and gas teams, pipeline and construction workers, travel nurses, contractors, and relocating professionals. The setup works for one person on a 3-month assignment or a crew on a 12-month project. The minimum stay is 3 months, and terms run up to 24 months.
Because ACHS is owner-operated, bookers get straight answers about what is available, what the lease includes, and what the monthly rate covers. No guessing, no middleman, no surprise fees.
Booking oilfield housing in Midland for a crew of three or more
Ask the provider how many units they can hold for your arrival date and whether they can house the whole crew in the same building. Having the crew in one location makes coordination easier: everyone arrives at the same place, trucks park together, and the team can meet in the gym.
Confirm the minimum stay and whether the lease allows different move-out dates if crew members rotate off the job at different times. Some projects start with a large crew and taper down over months. Others bring people in and out as phases complete.
ACHS handles both: individual apartments for single workers and multiple units for larger crews, all with the same 3-month minimum and one point of contact.
Ask about parking, especially if the crew has work trucks or trailers. Confirm what the property offers and whether the crew will have room for the equipment they bring.
Questions to ask before booking oilfield housing in Midland
What is the minimum stay, and does the lease term match your project timeline? Some providers lock you into a year. Others offer flexibility. Make sure the housing fits the job length before you book.
Is the apartment furnished, and does that include dishes, cookware, sheets, towels, and an in-unit washer and dryer? Walk through exactly what the crew will find when they arrive.
Are utilities, cable, and internet included in the monthly rate, or will the crew set up and pay for those separately? One monthly bill simplifies everything.
Is there a gym, is the property pet-friendly if crew members travel with dogs, and do you deal with the owner or a third-party locator? These details matter over a 6-month stay.
