Why Onsite Co-Working Spaces Are Now Essential for Apartment Renters

Remote work isn’t a trend anymore — it’s a defining part of modern life. From full-time remote professionals to hybrid workers and freelancers, more renters than ever are searching for apartments that support the new way people work. Where weather, commute times, and work-life balance all play a major role in daily life, onsite co-working spaces have quickly become one of the most in-demand apartment amenities.

Today’s renters want more than just four walls and an Internet connection. They want flexibility, comfort, productivity, and convenience, all without leaving home. That’s why communities like The Presley, located near the heart of Oklahoma City’s Business and Innovation Districts, are setting a new standard for work-from-home living.

The Rise of Co-Working Spaces in Apartment Communities

As remote work has surged, apartment communities across the country have had to rethink what “amenities” really mean. A pool and fitness center are great, but for many renters, the ability to work productively from home has become just as important.

Onsite co-working spaces solve a growing challenge: balancing productivity with comfort. They eliminate the need to search for a coffee shop with open seating, deal with spotty WiFi, or pay extra for co-working memberships. For Oklahoma City residents especially, where weather can turn quickly and winter roads aren’t always friendly, having a designated place to work inside the community is not just convenient; it’s practical.

What Modern Renters Expect From Co-Working Amenities

The best co-working spaces aren’t an afterthought. They blend thoughtful design, comfort, technology, and functionality. Renters today look for:

• Quiet zones for focus
• Private phone nooks for calls or virtual meetings
• Collaborative tables for team sessions or creative work
• Reliable, high-speed WiFi
• Access to printing, coffee, and charging stations
• Comfortable seating and proper lighting

These features are no longer luxuries — they are baseline expectations for anyone who works remotely at least part of the time. Communities that offer them position themselves as forward-thinking and renter-focused.

Where The Presley Excels: Work, Productivity & Convenience in One Place

While many communities are adding basic co-working rooms, The Presley is redefining what work-from-home living should feel like.

Inside The Tower, residents will find a co-working space designed with intention:

• Individual workstations for focused productivity
• Private phone nooks for confidential calls and Zoom meetings
• A collaborative workspace ideal for brainstorming, group projects, or creative sessions
• Complimentary high-speed WiFi throughout
• Free printing services
• A complimentary coffee station to keep residents fueled

It’s a space designed for modern professionals — from entrepreneurs to students to corporate employees who split time between home and the office.

And when residents need a bit more space? The Block offers reservable conference rooms and meeting areas, accessible 24/7 through The Presley’s on-site concierge. Whether it’s a client meeting, a virtual team session, or a presentation prep day, having private, professional meeting space right inside the community eliminates stress and saves time.

A Seamless Blend of Work and Lifestyle

Of course, productivity is just one part of the equation. Renters want balance: the ability to work efficiently while enjoying the lifestyle perks of a luxury apartment community.

At The Presley, work truly meets convenience:

• Short commutes to the city’s major business hubs
• Quick access to Oklahoma City’s Innovation District
• Covered parking, making winter weather and icy Oklahoma roads less of a hassle
• Spacious interiors that make working from home a comfortable alternative when you don’t need a full co-working setup

The result? A community where work is just as accessible as play — no compromises required.

Why Onsite Co-Working Is Becoming a Must-Have, Not a Bonus

For renters choosing where to live, onsite co-working spaces offer tangible, everyday benefits:

• Saves money by reducing the need for coffee shop spending or paid co-working memberships
• Increases productivity with quiet, well-designed spaces
• Supports professional growth with access to meeting rooms and private call spaces
• Improves work-life balance by keeping work close—yet separate—from home
• Boosts convenience during Oklahoma City's unpredictable winter weather or high-traffic days

As remote work continues to grow, apartment communities that provide high-quality, accessible workspaces stand out to today’s renters. These amenities signal that the community understands modern needs — and actively supports them.
