22 Incredible Coworking Spaces in Boston (A Guide)

Coworking. It’s a style of work where people who regularly work from home, freelancers, and remote workers can come together at a centralized location. Coworking spaces will provide desks, Wi-Fi, food and beverages, and other amenities that corporate offices offer.

Coworking spaces are also growing in presence around the country and Boston is no different. Last week, we took a deep dive into what coworking is and how it benefits Boston’s innovation community and ecosystem. In that feature story, we showcased WeWork, Workbar, and Cambridge Innovation Center.

However, there are more than just three coworking spaces in Boston. Below is a slideshow we’ve compiled featuring over 20 coworking spaces in the city that have their unique features. If you’re curious about joining one of them, a link is on each slide.
