COALITION is perched 19 stories high, offering newly renovated lounges, meeting rooms and a bar with a bird’s-eye view of downtown. And it’s easy to flock together, says community manager Samiha Al-Sabbagh, thanks to events like ice cream socials and happy hours.

Officemates: Trext, whose software makes sending mass texts a bit easier, and TaskRabbit, a marketplace for locally outsourcing small jobs.

Perks: Ditch the long underwear come winter—the building that houses Coalition sits atop the Green, Red and Orange Lines, making it easy to commute without risking frostbite.

Monthly Price: Coworking for $99-$700, private workspaces for $1,450 and more.

DISTRICT HALL aims to serve as a “front door to the innovation community in Boston,” according to general manager Nicole Fichera. The first public center of its kind, it provides both meeting space and a programming schedule packed with networking opportunities and office hours with local experts.

Officemates: Biopharm company Keryx and the city’s ONEin3 Council.

Perks: The only writing on the walls at District Hall is on the dry-erase paint. Customizable color-changing LED lights and a piano help drive home the “whistle while you work” approach.
