I used the Commons for a while and it was a great experience. The price, the location, the team managing the space, overall mood and vibe of the place is nice. They do community events throughout the month and those are fun!! I highly recommend Commons.

Great, clean space with lovely staff. Lovely clean space with easy to use drop-in desks. If you're looking for a space to do some work or have a short meeting this is it. It was pretty quiet - not library quiet but very manageable. The staff (Savannah specifically) was very helpful. Coffee, tea and snacks available.

I cannot say enough great things about The Commons Co-working space on the Upper East Side. From the moment I joined, the experience was exceptional. Keira and Savannah are always so kind, courteous, friendly, and professional. They go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming, and well-run environment. The Commons strikes the perfect balance of feeling peaceful while still being busy and bustling, giving you just the right energy to stay focused and productive. There’s a real sense of momentum and motivation in the air that makes it easy to get into a good workflow. The space is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of outlets and a variety of seating options to suit different working styles. I didn’t use the private meeting rooms, but I had only positive experiences with the other members — everyone is friendly, quiet, and respectful, really honoring the unspoken rules of shared workspaces. I chose the unlimited access membership, and it was absolutely worth it — though honestly, the 4th floor alone is incredible. There’s also a wonderful sense of community. They host regular networking events, and both activity and food centered events as well, giving you plenty of opportunities to connect with others who work from there. If you're looking for a professional, inspiring, and energizing co-working space on the UES, I can’t recommend The Commons highly enough!
Flexibility is the cornerstone of coworking, so you always have the option to adjust your workspace to match your current needs. With month-to-month memberships, you can effortlessly upgrade, downgrade, or even switch between different coworking plans.
While the standard practice is to change memberships only once the current one ends, The Commons may be able to offer additional options, so it’s best to reach out to their staff directly.
The Commons - NYC is open during regular business hours listed above. For any other requirements, make sure to contact the operator directly.
At The Commons - NYC, you can book a Meeting Room for a flexible hourly rate. For those who require a workspace for an entire day, Day Passs and Meeting Rooms are also available.
The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community.
A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization.
It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.
Most, if not all, amenities are available to you as a member, regardless of the type of membership. Some shared spaces, like the meeting rooms, need to be booked in advance and private offices are only available for those with a subscription. However, all the other areas, like the lounge, kitchen and breakout spaces, are usable by every member. All complimentary services are available and anything ancillary can be purchased or negotiated with The Commons.
