Post-pandemic, many professionals are choosing to work out of co-working spaces instead of private offices. Luckily for us, West Los Angeles is home to a wide range of co-working spaces that cater to the needs of freelancers, startups, entrepreneurs, and remote workers. In this guide, we take a look at some of the finest co-working spaces in West L.A. Bookmark this guide for then you want a change of scene! 

NeueHouse, Hollywood and Venice Beach 

NeueHouse Hollywood occupies one of West L.A.’s most celebrated buildings—the original CBS Studios. Built intentionally for broadcast, this building is where the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and Janis Joplin created their legacies. Targeting the creative community, NeueHouse Hollywood boasts screening rooms, private studios, podcast and broadcast studios, and wellness areas. NeueHouse’s latest outpost on Venice Beach is a more intimate version of their Hollywood location. Located steps away from the beach, this co-working space features a more relaxed vibe. It houses communal workspaces, dedicated desks, private office suites, and curated amenities, including a charming rooftop restaurant and a light-filled bar. Both locations host progressive talks and workshops. I attended an event at NeueHouse Venice Beach and was impressed by the amenities and friendly staff.

Located on Sunset Boulevard, Soho Works is a collaborative workspace with a co-working space, meeting rooms, and private offices. Perfect for professionals in the entertainment and arts sectors, this space features desks for individuals, lounges for creative brainstorming, private lofts, and event spaces. Additionally, Soho Works 9000 Sunset’s meeting rooms—The Sitting Room, The Rodeo, and The Melrose are excellent options for client meetings.

The Preserve, Hollywood 

Founded in 2019, this co-working space houses a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about their work. Conceptualized by well-known architect Paul Williams, the Preserve features a lush, two-acre outdoor campus, a stunning rooftop terrace, private offices, meeting rooms, shared workspaces, and a visually arresting on-site café. Showcasing a biophilic design aesthetic, the Preserve offers a refreshing alternative to traditional office spaces.
