Rediscover Community and Connection in San Diego | CoCo

Life can feel isolating in the aftermath of major events like elections. At times like these, finding an in-person community can be a powerful way to combat loneliness and rediscover connection. Cowork + Connect (CoCo) in Hillcrest, San Diego, gives professionals and individuals the chance to work and thrive in a welcoming coworking community.

Why In-Person Community Matters

While remote work offers advantages like flexibility, convenience, and time and money saved on long commutes, it’s missing the spark of human connection. This is where coworking spaces bridge the gap, helping to promote productivity within a like-minded community. 

Seeking out this connection can help to prevent isolation in difficult times. It can also support:

• Mental health: Being part of a community strengthens resilience, helping protect against stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Productivity: Half of coworking professionals surveyed* said they’ve seen their income increase, and 46% say their output has improved.
• Work performance: Close to half of coworkers also report experiencing improvements in work skills, work quality, and collaboration.*
• Business/professional growth: Don’t underestimate the power of opportunity. Some of the most valuable partnerships and friendships start with a conversation over coffee.

A coworking community like CoCo offers these opportunities to engage, connect, and grow. You can read more here about how our founder used coworking to build community and move out of isolation.

With CoCo’s walkable Hillcrest location, our members gain even more mental health benefits of coworking. Steps away from Trader Joe’s and fresh cafes, plenty of nutritious options are available to stay energized. Coworkers often use their lunch break as a wellness hour, getting fresh air on a walk or stopping by a nearby gym or pilates studio.

How Cowork + Connect Creates Meaningful Connections

At CoCo, we’re more than just a coworking space. We host regular networking and themed events (like Creative Fridays and Freelancer Meetups), offer shared lounges for casual conversations, and provide workshops. With amenities like comfortable meeting rooms and communal spaces, we cultivate an environment where connection thrives.

We’ve found that the magic happens in the moments. It’s the impromptu brainstorming sessions in our kitchen (stocked with coffee, tea, and snacks!), the coffee chats that turn into game-changing collaborations, and the genuine support members show each other.

Here, you’re not just working alongside other worker bees—you’re a valued member of a supportive ecosystem.
