Inno Guides are designed to serve as an onboarding tool for anyone that’s new to the city’s ecosystem, as well as a refresher for those looking to learn more about Atlanta’s startup and tech communities and the resources available to them. If you think we’re missing anything, email mhogan@AmericanInno.com. (For a guide to Buckhead’s coworking spaces, go here. For a guide to downtown Atlanta and Midtown's coworking spaces, go here.)
Coworking is all the rage in Atlanta, with giant companies such as WeWork, Industrious and Regus expanding in the area every few months.
We've got a guide for all your coworking needs in downtown and Buckhead. But what about those of us who live on the outskirts of the city in the suburbs?
It's no surprise to any of us that a majority of Atlanta workers are commuting from the suburbs. To put it in perspective, Atlanta has more than 472,500 people inside its city limits (much smaller than neighboring Nashville and Charlotte), according to Census data from 2016. But Cobb County alone has more than 741,000 residents.
Not everyone is going to trek downtown to operate out of a coworking space when there are plenty of options outside the perimeter (OTP). Check out the list below of all the coworking locations we found OTP.
