In recent years, the Philly area has become a hub for all kinds of creative office space.

There are more than 30 shared office spaces in the city, ranging from an office that lets members rent the whole space out to upscale coworking offerings with private offices cloaked in glass to huge warehouse spaces for artists and startups alike. Many coworking spaces, like The Hive, Business Casual Coworking, the South Philadelphia Co-op Workspace and 3rd Ward, which later became Impact Hub, have also closed down over the years. Find all our coverage of coworking here, plus a 2016 wrap of our biggest coworking stories here.

Here’s our guide to maneuvering the scene. We’ve broken down each place by notable amenities (Does it allow puppies? Does it offer free beer?), pricing and anchor tenants. We ranked size in terms of small (fewer than 10,000 square feet), medium (between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet) and large (more than 20,000 square feet.) Prices are monthly unless otherwise noted.
