Coworking in the Triangle at Carrboro Creative Coworking
I had my first experience with coworking last week. All in all, it was very positive and I will definitely be going back for more.
I went to Carrboro Creative Coworking (CCC), which is located in Carrboro in a little office park, not far from Franklin Street. Brian (the owner) has done a great job at creating a wonderful work atmosphere. I’m not going to go into details, but suffice it to say that it’s probably nicer than any regular office I’ve ever worked in. The iPod sound docks and Wii’s in the rooms don’t hurt:).
Rates are good, although I don’t really have anything to compare them against. A ten day pass will run you $100. That’s not bad if you think about it – compare $10 a day to the cost of trying to work in a Panera or Starbucks for the afternoon. After a few cups of coffee and spotty wireless, you’ll be ready to pay for something like CCC.
Brian’s also setting up a lot of activities in the afterhours – like hack fests, trainings, etc.
Oh, and the people that I met were great! If I remember all of their names…Sean, Fred, Gary, and Brian – they were all developers, and all were very enjoyable to talk to. I think a couple might even come to the Triangle microISV Group meetup on the 21st:).
All in all, I can highly recommend Carrboro Creative Coworking. Maybe I’ll see you there sometime…

After reading your experience about coworking. I googled the term “Coworking” and found, what I was searching since months. As an independent consultant usually I am travling or working from home. Apart from some good things, I am missing that feel of working amoung talented ppls. Thanks for this post hope to see you there soon.
I’m glad it was helpful. I’ve also just found out that there is a new coworking space in Apex – SoCo Studio: http://www.socostudio.biz/
