My office is near 183 and mopac. I live west of the area near 2222 and 360. I like it. Close to bull creek. Can get on 360 and be anywhere north or south, west of 35 in 10-15minutes if it’s not rush hour.
I like my place, granite counter tops and staineless steel appliances, with a balcony over the Pool. It’s a little out of the “city”, but easy to get to work and anywhere I want (not really interested in the east side other that hops and grain). Also I’m under 1,000/month, and that’s as my goal.

If I were in my 20's and could pull it off, I'd get me a place in the Domain. Poon everywhere. Good eats, bars, Top Golf, places to watch the game, and shopping if you give a shite about that.
Domain has some cool places, but it doesn't feel very Austin. It's basically as generic as a Perkins Rowe, micro-community, whatever. It depends on what you like I guess, but I wouldn't want to live there. It'd feel like living in a mall.

I'm not all that huge on the Domain. I've been there once. It felt like an outlet mall with apartments on top.

Bookmarking this thread as wife is pretty close to finalizing a job in Austin and we would be moving from Dallas as well.

Most people will tell you to use the river (Lady Bird Lake) as the dividing line. If you work north of it, then live north, if you work downtown or south, then live south. That’s a good general rule, but I agree with the posters who suggested the Burnet corridor north of 45th and south of Anderson. I live in Crestview and love it.

The Domain is being expanded quickly. Ton of new restaurants and bars opened up in the last couple of years there, so the social life aspect of it has really picked up. If I were mid-late 20's and single, it would be on my short list of places to live in Austin for at least a year. Other than the night life aspect that is being built up, its basically an upscale, outdoor shopping mall with apartments on top like you said. So there are always women there for a single guy that is new to Austin. And Top Golf is 5 minutes away of thats your thing.

I'm in agreement on the Burnet Rd corridor. Wife and I recently moved back and bought a house in S. Allandale just inside 2222. We can walk to a ton of great spots and easily ride bikes to a ton more. Shoal Creek bike trail takes you downtown and you're still a cheap Uber ride from all of the downtown nightlife. Not sure what the rental prices are but we have friends who live in the Burnet Flats apartments and love it. All depends on the lifestyle you're looking for. If I were single in my 20's and worked downtown I still think I'd rent that downtown apt for $1500 and see how it goes for a year. You'd be closer to Rainey than W. 6th which would be my personal preference for night life.
