North Central Austin

This unofficial district caters to the students of the University of Texas and has plenty of dining and shopping options.

“North Central” isn’t even a thing, but that doesn’t stop the real estate agents from raving about its well-kept, tree-lined streets and “location, location, location”. NCA illustrates what gentrification can do to once humble neighbourhoods. The high-end shops in The Domain and Arbor Walk malls confirm that you’re in Austin’s high-tech boomtown. Grab a breakfast taco from a food truck then duck into the book and record shops along “The Drag” near the UT campus.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (901 reviews)
Property was under construction and was only there one night solo for work so didn’t get to check out all amenities but super friendly, helpful staff. Clean and updated rooms, but kind of small if more than more person were to be staying in one room.
