How about Old East 6th area? The new Whole Foods opened up there. Lots of restaurants and bars are walkable. Good biking paths all around that part of East Austin and a quick ride to Downtown and the lake.

I worked in the Domain for many years. If you like living in a gentrified shopping mall that’s your place to be.

I live in a home in Windsor Park - the neighborhood adjacent to Mueller (which is quite nice, too)

like

I live on E 6th in that area and I love it. Lots of variety in walkable restaurants & bars. A little pricey depending on the building but the location is great

The Domain is literally the saddest most depressing area in Austin. Like living in a mediocre shopping mall. Live within 10 minutes of downtown (but avoid downtown) in any direction and you’re good.

Yup, it’s pretty absurd. But most people in this world sadly don’t have good taste. That’s why we have wall to wall carpet, True Religion jeans, and the Domain.

Came here to second this. Do not live in the domain area!! Traffic is terrible and you could literally be in any other city and go to a massive mall.

If you’re moving to Austin because you love Austin then anywhere south of downtown, Travis Heights, South 1st, S. Lamar still feels Old Austin but it is more expensive. But if you want walkable, and great things to do in your community then you can’t beat it.

Barton Hills, Zilker, Bouldin Creek, or East 6th!

Saint Elmo area, south Austin…. Business is booming here

Just don’t go outside and far on foot after 10pm. Lived here my entire life

I would suggest living away from the city and closer to neighborhoods with homes

When I first moved to Austin, I lived in South Austin off of Brodie near Davis. There are several apartment complexes in the area and plenty of stores/shopping nearby.
I moved here by myself with my dog, and never had problems where I was staying.

Nothing wrong with the domain, but it doesn’t feel like Austin. Or at least not classic austin

Really depends on how much you want to spend. It varies significantly across the city.

Mueller and the Domain are terrible. Cookie cutter apartments and homes that make you feel like you’re in some capitalist dystopia. Zero culture or personality and not a good representation of Austin at all.

Please do not listen to any of these people!

As some other folks said, any direction a stones throw around downtown is great.

I lived at Camden Brushy Creek in Cedar Park and I always felt safe with my doggo, but it is a longer drive to downtown Austin.

Your housing budget might hold some weight. Also, “good” and “safe” more-so just means low crime area, but without context of what “good” means to you, you’re not going to get targeted answers.

What does everyone think of the current Austin housing market?

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
