Travel Nurse Housing in Riverside County

[telenurse2009]

I am an RN and am thinking about purchasing a property in Lake Elsinore with 5 bedrooms to rent out to travel nurses. The only issue with this location is that the hospitals are between 22 minutes to 42 minutes away with an average of a 30 minute drive (about 16 miles). Is this drive too far away? Or would the fact that the house has beautiful views of the lake and mountains make up for the drive. In addition, the property has a private courtyard swimming pool to lounge beside. Each room has floor to ceiling windows with great views. I haven't bought the property yet, but am thinking whether it is something travel nurses would rent a room with 4 other nurses and share the house (fully furnished, TV, internet, move in ready). Any feedback is appreciated!

I lived in the inland empire for several years and would say that is too far of a commute. Some may be willing to do it but with traffic and a 12 hour shift I would say most wouldn't want the drive.

It takes a lot to move me out of my 6 mile bicycle commute comfort zone. But I have done it for exceptionally nice housing. House on a lake, San Francisco which was a good half hour to Stanford back then (I was already in SF housing for the previous assignment at UCSF). Everyone's needs and desires are different but I have no doubt you will pick up some travelers. Best to use a service like Furnished Finders to supply travelers along with proactive use of Craigslist - post your own ads of course, but look for housing wanted posts from travelers.

Thank-you very much for your reply. We ended up buying a house in Murrieta which is within walking distance of Loma Linda University Medical Center.
