True locals, born and bread in Austin, are Unicorns.  But you can still sound like one at the water cooler with a few funs facts!

Domain Apartments
A true luxury outdoor shopping and entertainment district, the Domain is near the Arboretum and also about 10 minutes from downtown.  Living in the Domain is slightly more expensive, but affords walking to TONS of high end dining, shopping and entertainment options.
Downtown Austin Apartments
Can you live in the middle of a city’s hottest entertainment and business districts and still be minutes from some of the city’s best parks, a lake and a famous 10-mile running trail?  In Austin you can!  Austin’s downtown area hugs Lady Bird Lake and the Trail with bars, shopping, entertainment, parks, festivals, events, you name it!  Demand is high though, so so are the rents.
East Austin Apartments
Long known for it’s ecclectic residents and unique art scene, East Austin offers proximity to Downtown uwith walkable lifestyle for less than Downtown proper.  New restaurants pop up weekly here and historic neighborhoods rub shoulders with modern mid-rises.
North Central Austin Apartments
Want a quiter life, but still want to be close to everything.  North Central Austin is quickly becoming the place to be.  A recent boom in new restaraunt and entertainment offerings, combined with less hussle and bustle than downtown and neighborhoods from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, give this area a lot of charm.
