The Domain is in a sense a downtown away from the hecticness and rampant traffic of the actual downtown of Austin. It boasts a lovely environment and an array of activities and comforts for almost everyone.
This was once an up and coming idea that at first really took off as a mall. However, as time went on businesses, apartments, studios, and bars alike sprung up to make The Domain the neighborhood it is today.
The Domain is essentially a self-contained city in Austin that prides itself on providing and catering to the transportation needs of the growing population. If you’re hoping to live in The Domain expect well-paved side-walks, accessibility ramps, and even a daily shuttle service.
That being said you better buckle in for a lot of walking . The Domain is intent on being green and lowering its carbon footprint. So, the entirety of The Domain is interconnected with sidewalks that really make traveling anywhere inside of it a breeze. It’s one of the biggest upsides of living there. You can get in your steps, your cardio, and your sightseeing as you go about your day to day.
If you really need to hop in the car though, there is ample parking at five color-coded parking garages and some street parking scattered about. But the need to drive isn’t so bad, since anything you need might be a block or two away –just enjoy the stroll.
But if you can’t find what you need in The Domain then all the North Austin attractions such as yummy eateries and bars are just a short drive away!
The Domain isn’t the most expensive area in Austin. However, it’s definitely pricier than the surrounding North Austin Area. This is due to the convenience of living there and the businesses and attractions that have been established there. In sense, it’s a very fun micro-city to live in.
To be honest the lifestyle rewards youth. The Domain attracts many young professionals with a physically active, outgoing, and adventurous lifestyle. That being said being older doesn’t disclude you from the fun that’s offered.
The self-contained city aspect is very appealing, and you can get almost everything you need in a few blocks – grocery stores, fitness classes, boutiques, bars, restaurants, and maybe even your job. You can go to work, eat out, go to a happy hour, and then walk home all the area of a few blocks! Talk about convenient!
Here are some of my favorite spots that I personally enjoy and love at the Domain.
If you enjoy walking, being social, and can afford it, then I’d give moving to The Domain a shot. It’s a beautiful area with plenty of things to keep you busy and happy. You’ll be blessed to not have to fight the Austin traffic, and even more lucky if you work in The Domain too. Ultimately, it’s a great neighborhood and has established itself as one of the hottest spots to live in, work, and play.
