Oakwood offers spacious, fully furnished, beautifully decorated apartments.  Our apartments are much larger than both regular and extended stay hotel rooms, and offer a more home-like atmosphere than you'll find in a hotel.

 

Oakwood provides the finest apartments in each metropolitan area.  All apartment residences feature a complete kitchen, and have separate dining, living, and sleeping areas.  Even a washer and dryer are included in most apartment units.  A wide range of personal services and exceptional amenities, including health clubs and swimming pools, give Oakwood apartments an atmosphere of luxury and convenience, as well as the comfort of feeling at home.
