Walkable · Bustling · Trendy

If your suburban childhood fantasy was to live at the mall, the Domain manifests the real-world, grown-up version of that dream. Located in North Austin, this neighborhood pairs a wide selection of stores, restaurants, bars, and coffeeshops with an ample array of apartments and office spaces, a set-up that has earned it a reputation as “Austin’s second Downtown.”

The Domain’s interweaving of retail and residential real estate works perfectly for the type of person who wants to live around the corner from a Nordstrom and enjoy Starbucks as their closest neighbor. However, if you desire the “keep Austin weird” vibes, be warned — the Domain does not exude that same hip, cultural atmosphere. But, for anyone looking for an amenity-filled apartment to call home, the Domain’s offerings, in addition to its accessibility, could be a huge selling point.

Neighborhood Life

Whether neighborhood residents or other Austin citizens, city dwellers constantly flood the Domain’s streets. And, with everything contained in one area, any activity, from taking your dog on a walk in the park, or grocery shopping, to stopping by the jean shorts sale at your favorite store, or hitting up the nightlife scene (including clubs!), is easy to check off your to-do list. The apartment buildings here look like standard, new-builds in their outward appearance, but almost all of them feature the kind of amenities, such as pools and gym spaces, that give them an extra edge over the options in other parts of Austin.

Local Hangouts

The options for how to spend your free time in the Domain feel limitless due to its 134 retail stores and roughly 30 restaurant and bar options. You could spend endless hours making your way through them all. Two of our favorites are Plank Seafood Provisions, where you can eat your way through a platter of Happy Hour oysters, and Kung Fu Saloon, a bar where you can down sake bombs while playing their huge selection of arcade games.

Things to know

Huge parking garages dominate every other corner, so parking is not a problem in the Domain. Additionally, trees line the always clean sidewalks and streets in the neighborhood, making it a perfect place to walk and browse should you decide to lay off the gas pedal for the day.

Great experience with Bobby. I contacted him literally only a day before flying out to Austin, and he was able to set up appointments for me the very next day. He picked me up and drove me around to the different places, and when I suddenly found out I'd have another roommate, he worked with me to pivot into finding 2/2's instead of 1/1's. He talked to each of the leasing…

My roommate and I were struggling with finding the right apartment that met all of our ends (price, move-in date, location) and I reached out to AptAmigo for help. Bobby helped us find an apartment within a few hours and we were able to apply and sign the lease within a few days. He was so helpful and answered all my questions that I had. Definitely recommend! (and its free)

Moving from out of state to Austin can be overwhelming at times but my locator Jeremy Morvai was a huge help. Jeremy was very transparent, honest, available and listened to what my goals were in finding the perfect place for me to live. I would recommend this company to friends and family. Thanks again Jeremy and aptAmigo!

After hearing about AptAmigo through a friend in Denver, I decided to look into it for my move to Austin. Ana reached out to me within a day of signing up and let me tell her everything I was looking for. She lined up some tours in my ideal location and was genuinely so nice and professional throughout the entire experience. This was my first time getting an apartment in the…

Our experience with Chris from Amigo was more than perfect! He was able to show us different options to what we were looking for within a short notice and a short period of time. Relocating from Austin to Dallas we only had two days to make a decision and Chris managed to get us all the appointments needed within minutes. He went above and beyond and we could not be more…

We worked with Bobby and he was incredible. Timely, responsive, and super knowledgably. There is true value in their services when navigating new apt buildings. Would recommend him to any and all moving to the Austin area.

Caroline S.Austin

I worked with Bobby from AptAmigo to help identify the right apartment for our move from NY to Austin. We had a pretty open-ended moving date, and Bobby patiently worked with us for a few months to educate us on the market, discuss what we wanted, and set up multiple options. In Austin, the availability changes every day and Bobby kept us up to date, proactively checked in, and…
