We created a welcoming third space where we can get out of our homes to work, study, meet and connect - right here in Montclair, NJ.

We were sick of living in Montclair and working in our messy homes with endless distractions or loud, crowded coffee shops with spotty WiFi.

We dropped in on coworking space after coworking space but couldn’t believe it when they didn’t have phone booths, lounge areas - or members!

The spaces we were craving were in NYC - but willingly riding NJ Transit on the regular is never the answer. So we created a welcoming “third space” where we can get out of our homes to work, study, meet and hang out - right here in Montclair, NJ.

A space that prioritized community as much as coworking. A space where we can work and play, relax and recharge. A space where we’d actually want to spend the day. A space that’s accessible and inclusive to all.

RecRoom is a space that prioritizes:

Diversity, equity and inclusion
