These coworking communities have done their best to set themselves apart in the global workspace community by crafting physical and digital work environments to incubate new ideas and nurture your budding expertise. Working alongside other professionals at a community workspace is also a great way to take a clarity break. As we mentioned in our December 9th blog post, Flexible Office Spaces Encourage Clarity Breaks and Creative Thinking, clarity breaks are built upon the notion that a change in scenery and dedicated thinking time refreshes the mind and have the potential to promote breakthrough thinking.

This roundup of coworking spaces may be nestled somewhere unexpected or include amenities that top the charts. But one thing is certain. They offer the benefits of coworking that freelancers, independent contractors, and remote business professionals crave.

The demand for coworking depends to a great extent upon the freelance community who (according to Zippia, The Career Expert) represented 36% of the U.S. workforce in 2020 and is expected to grow by 14% over the next six years. Freelancers frequently engage in projects for multiple clients at one time, which can require shifts in perspective and productivity boosts like no other profession. Freelance professionals often need a hub to build connectivity and creative momentum. Coworking spaces can offer these solutions in a flexible, pay-as-you-go format that is perfect for meeting individual budgets and business needs. 

So, without further ado, please welcome these coworking space concepts that are trending in the U.S. to get you out of a productivity rut.
