Change of Scenery? 7 Best ‘Zoom Town’ Coworking Spaces on Upflex

Avatar photo

For some employees, remote work means fitting their pandemic workdays around beach strolls in Montauk or ski runs in Aspen. We put together our favorite “Zoom town” work space picks, from the Maine Coast to California’s wine country.

The pandemic is changing the American landscape, plucking workers out of the metropolis and scattering them across the country, to smaller communities with more space, easier access to the outdoors, and other amenities 9-to-5 employees tied to downtown offices previously had to forego. Communities seeing a sudden influx of remote workers have been dubbed “Zoom Towns,” and they’re popping up from New York’s Hamptons and Hudson Valley to California’s wine country. We rounded up seven spaces we love in pandemic escape-worthy, not-so-big cities across the U.S.
