Remote work doesn’t have to be “working from home!” If you’re part of the 22.8% of people with hybrid or remote jobs, your house may not be the best place to focus during the work day. Noisy distractions, a lack of space, and even extroversion are all reasons to head outside and seek a change of scenery. 

That’s why coworking spaces are so valuable, giving both employees and entrepreneurs a place to manage their business, hold important meetings, and work in peace. Coworking spaces are especially helpful if you’re new in town. They connect you with the local community and help you build a strong business network.

The Indianapolis region offers a plethora of coworking spaces to choose from—each with their own unique events and amenities. I’ve rounded up a list of the Top 16 Coworking Spaces in Indy with their locations and pricing, so you can find one that best fits your needs.

How to Choose a Coworking Space

Before deciding on a coworking space, it’s important to figure out what’s important to you. Do you want the quietest space you can find—or a buzzing social scene with a coffee shop vibe?

I’ve worked in enough coworking spaces to understand that not everyone has the same needs and expectations. Would you be happy sharing a space with someone giving a sales pitch or having a team meeting? If not, look for a quieter place or one that has plentiful phone booths and meeting rooms for privacy.

If community and networking matter to you, look for a coworking space with member socials, networking events, or even business mentorship. Many spaces double as incubators and accelerators to help entrepreneurs scale their startups. And if you’ve just moved to Indianapolis, coworking community events can help you meet new people and avoid isolation.

Amenities are also important. Do you want free coffee? Private lockers? Access to conference rooms or a fitness center? I’m now accustomed to using multiple screens, so external monitors are a huge plus for me. 

Location matters, too. How far is the coworking space from your home, and will you be able to walk or bike there? As a township resident, I don’t like paying for parking just to work, which keeps me from a lot of downtown spaces. 

Make a list of what matters to you most, so you can narrow your search. Whether you need a physical office to receive mail, a makerspace for prototyping, or even on-site childcare, there are options for you!

Take advantage of tours and day passes!

If you’re looking for a coworking space, visiting in person is the best way to do a fit check! Fortunately, every coworking space I’ve visited offers a complimentary tour and a free coworking “trial day,” giving you ample opportunity to try before you buy. 

Some spaces let you book a visit directly from their website, while others require reaching out by email. Many also offer paid Day Passes if you need additional time before making your decision. 

Mondays and Fridays are typically slow days at coworking spaces, so I recommend visiting Tuesday through Thursday to get a good feel for a space at its busiest. Just pick your top choices from the list below and set up a few dates to test the waters!

Coworking Spaces in Downtown Indianapolis

Most people like working downtown for the walkability, the bustle, and nearby access to restaurants and amenities. If you need to meet up with people often, you can count on downtown Indianapolis for its central location and strong business ecosystem. 

1. HqO Innovation Hub at 16 Tech

The HqO Innovation Hub is part of the 16 Tech Innovation District between IU Indianapolis and the Riverside neighborhood northwest of downtown. Nestled in the larger district, this coworking space connects you with the Machyne Makerspace, The AMP food hall, and nearby neighbors like the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership and the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute. 

HqO puts you in the center of the action with multiple coworking areas perfect for networking and building your business. My favorite perk is being right next door to The AMP for Tinker Coffee, Circle City Sweets, and many other locally-owned food vendors.

Membership Cost: Contact for Pricing 

Key Amenities: Meeting rooms; printer access; time-limited free parking; member events; and coffee.

2. Union Campus

Union Campus is an old converted IPS school located near Lucas Oil Stadium, Rolls-Royce, and Eli Lilly’s Corporate Center on the southside of downtown. With three stories, the building is expansive and keeps a few hallmarks of its original school architecture. (You can shoot hoops in the gym and even use their adult-sized slide during your lunch hour!)

Union’s coworking membership is bare bones but packs a lot of value. At just $50 a month, you gain unlimited access to their coworking space, which is a quiet, open room with external monitors. And if you outgrow the shared space, you can always upgrade to one of their private offices.

Membership Cost: $50/Month 

Key Amenities: Gym and fitness center access. For an additional monthly cost, Union Campus can also provide parking, locker rental, and room reservation credits. 

3. Switchboard

Located in vintage-vibed Fountain Square, this house-turned-hub is cozy and inclusive. Switchboard’s main room is a spacious open area with high ceilings and abundant natural light. They also use smart tech, so you can use your mobile device to gain access the coworking space anytime you need it.  

Their membership options are flexible, which makes it easy to adapt the space to your needs—whether that’s just for a day or all year long! But in my eyes, the best perk is that Switchboard has an on-site childcare provider, Little Operators. They offer services from 9:00 a.m. to noon on weekdays at a member rate of $9/hour per child.

Membership Cost: $99/Month 

Key Amenities: 24/7 access; meeting room credits; printing and scanning; coffee and snacks; and on-site childcare available through Little Operators.

4. Draft Creative Space

If you need creative inspiration, Draft Creative Space is the place to be. Their Instagram-worthy aesthetic and expansive outdoor patio makes it enticing to get up and go to work every day. If you want a more private space, they also have five sunlit studios you can pay to reserve on the second floor. 

Membership Cost: $75/Month for a 4-Day Pass or $150/Month for 24/7 Access

Key Amenities: Meeting rooms; mail service; printer access; free coffee; free parking; bike racks; and discounts on event space rental.

Coworking Spaces North of Indianapolis

Considering that Carmel is ranked 9th in the U.S. for cities with the highest percentage of remote workers, it’s no surprise that northside Indianapolis has a high density of coworking options. Coworking locations are dotted across Indy’s northern neighborhoods—from colorful districts like Broad Ripple to thriving suburbs like Fishers and Zionsville.

Cowork 1010 covers the 8th and 11th floors of Pyramid Building 1, while offering convenient highway access to the whole city. 

This coworking space has a modern interior, ample free parking, and—of course—ethereal views spanning clear across the downtown skyline. But my favorite perk is that every single workstation has dual monitor displays!

Attached to the Church at the Crossing overlooking I-465, The Haverstick consists of one large room with first-come, first-serve seating and a coffee shop with grab-and-go food options. I see a lot of coffee meetups happening here, along with the typical coworking crowd locked down in focus mode.

COhatch also takes unique spaces like churches or historical buildings and renovates them in a fashion that honors the building’s history and architecture. Each location has its own personality, like the buzz of Broad Ripple or the laid-back vibe of Zionsville. My favorite is the Polk Stables location just outside the I-65/70 split—with three stories, a vibrant atmosphere, and a stunning rooftop patio overlooking downtown.

Coworking is a way for remote workers to find community and connection.

As a freelancer working with far-flung clients, I find that it’s sometimes hard to feel connected. Most of my work is done behind a screen, and virtual meetings just can’t compare to in-person interaction. So far, I have found many antidotes for this, including my neighbors, book clubs, parent groups, and a faith community. 

But coworking is definitely one piece of the puzzle. A day of coworking refreshes me. It allows me to focus on my work with renewed energy and creativity. And it creates opportunities for quick conversations and interactions that help me feel rooted in the community I call home.
