About us
NextSpace provides a professional yet comfortable workspace, plus a rockin' community for freelancers, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, consultants, coaches, lawyers, and anyone who might otherwise be working from home or trying to work from a coffee shop.
NextSpace was founded on the premise that we are smarter as a group, and by creating not just the space for people to work but also a sense of community, an ecology of success develops. As one of our members put it, "My startup is a year ahead on it's development because of the connections and resources available at NextSpace."

We offer $10 coworking on the First Friday of each month from 9 am-5 pm. You can RSVP for that right here on our MeetUp calendar! Alternatively, you are welcome to swing by anytime between 9–5 Monday through Friday for a tour and to learn more about us.
