Is Big Lake a practical home base for Permian Basin work?
Big Lake can be a home base for oilfield workers and contractors working in the surrounding Permian Basin. Your commute depends on your specific rig, lease, yard or job site. Check the actual route and travel time for your shift before choosing housing.
Can I rent an apartment if I am not an oilfield worker?
Yes. Santa Rita Homes also offers housing for local residents and other renters looking for a fully furnished apartment in Big Lake. Contact management about availability and the application process.
Can employers or crew coordinators ask about housing for several workers?
Yes. Send management your arrival dates, number of residents, preferred bedroom counts and number of apartments needed. Management can discuss current availability and lease arrangements. Multiple apartments and any company billing arrangement must be confirmed directly.
Are these apartments a good alternative to a hotel for a work assignment?
Santa Rita Homes provides a furnished living space with a kitchen, living and dining areas, and an in-apartment washer and dryer. Monthly-to-yearly leases can suit an extended work assignment. Compare the quoted rent and lease terms with your housing needs before deciding.
Monthly leases & changing job schedules
What lease lengths do you offer?
We offer leases from monthly to yearly. Tell management whether you want a monthly arrangement or a longer lease so they can explain the available terms.
Do I have to know how long my oilfield assignment will last?
You do not need to know your final length of stay to ask about a monthly lease. Explain your expected start date and what you know about your assignment. A monthly lease can provide a practical starting point when the work schedule is uncertain.
Can I stay for years while renting month to month?
Yes. Many Santa Rita tenants choose monthly leases and stay for years. Choosing a monthly lease does not mean your stay has to be short. Discuss renewal terms and continued availability with management.
Can I extend my stay if my job lasts longer than expected?
Contact management as soon as your schedule changes to discuss extending your stay. Many tenants remain on monthly leases for years, but any extension or renewal follows your lease terms and must be confirmed with management.
What if my assignment ends early or I transfer to another job site?
Contact management promptly and review your written lease. Ask about notice requirements, move-out dates and any charges before committing to housing. A monthly lease still has terms you need to follow.
Can I rent for only a few nights or one week?
Our published lease options run from monthly to yearly. Contact management if your assignment is shorter than a month; nightly or weekly rental availability is not listed on this website.
Are apartments available for my arrival date?
Availability changes. Contact management with your move-in date and preferred one- or two-bedroom layout. An apartment is not reserved by viewing this website, sending an inquiry or downloading an application.
