North Austin Apartments: 16 New Buildings on Video

What to know first

North Austin is where a large share of the city's new apartments have gone up in the last three years: along Burnet Road, around the Domain and North Burnet, up North Lamar and out along US-183. That is good news for renters. More buildings leasing at once means bigger move-in specials, and right now several new North Austin buildings are offering eight to ten weeks free.

It is also the most practical part of town for a lot of commutes. The Domain, Apple's Parmer Lane campus, Q2 Stadium and the Red Line's Kramer and Crestview stations are all here, and MoPac and 183 put downtown fifteen to twenty minutes away outside rush hour. What you trade for that is walkability: outside Burnet Road and the Domain, most of these buildings are car-first.

Every building below has a video tour, base rents checked on the date shown, and the monthly fees that listings tend to leave out.

Questions

Is North Austin a good area to rent in?

For new construction and commutes to the Domain, Apple or the tech corridor, yes. It has the most new buildings in the city and the biggest specials right now. It is less walkable than central or East Austin away from Burnet Road and the Domain.

What is the difference between North Austin and the Domain?

The Domain is one district inside North Austin, around Burnet Road and Braker Lane. It is the most walkable and usually the most expensive part of North Austin; buildings a few minutes away along Burnet, Lamar or 183 often run cheaper for the same finishes.

Which North Austin buildings have the biggest specials right now?

Luca (UP TO 10 WEEKS FREE SELECT HOMES. RESTRICTIONS APPLY.), Magnolia Scofield Ridge (10 weeks free), Modera EaDo (10 weeks free). Specials usually apply to select homes and lease terms, so I confirm the unit before you apply.

What is the cheapest new one-bedroom in North Austin?

On the date checked, Luca: one-bedrooms from $1,414 base rent, about $1,142 a month after its 10-week special, plus about $51 a month in required fees.

Which of these have garages or yards?

Private yards on some homes: Modera EaDo, Solaris House at Uptown ATX, The Kelsey at Scofield Farms, The Edition at Research Park. Both are usually limited to certain floor plans.

Do any of these have income-restricted apartments?

Yes: Luca, The Waylon, Lenox Burnet, Solaris House at Uptown ATX, The Anderson, Revolve ATX and others. Rent at those homes depends on household size and income limits; send me yours and I'll tell you where you qualify.
