Rewards of Praying in Masjid
It is not obligatory to pray salat at masjid but if you can it offers multiple rewards. Therefore we should all try to make an effort to go when we can. It is only in our benefit.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The prayer offered in congregation is twenty five times more superior (in reward) to the prayer offered alone in one’s house or in a business center, because if one performs ablution and does it perfectly, and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for each step which he takes towards the mosque, Allah upgrades him a degree in reward and (forgives) crosses out one sin till he enters the mosque.

When he enters the mosque he is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and the angels keep on asking for Allah’s forgiveness for him and they keep on saying: ‘O Allah! Be Merciful to him, O Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps on sitting at his praying place and does not pass wind.
Bukhari Book 1 Volume 8 Hadith 466
Besides, the rewards that are multiplied for the afterlife. Praying at the masjid offers a chance to establish connections with people you otherwise would have not known.
It’s nice to have People who share similar beliefs and values. It’s important to build a support group and to help each other when we need it.
There’s a quote by Imam Ali, peace and blessings upon him:
A lack of friends means strangeness.
