Everyone knows that Austin is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. In this special section, we dive into the hottest places to stay – for a weekend getaway or to put down roots – and how each unique arrival is contributing to the culture of Austin.

The Standard at Domain

11711 Domain Dr.

(512) 584 8065

Rock Rose is one of the most welcomed newcomers when it comes to neighborhoods and nightlife in Austin. The Standard at Domain, North Austin’s premiere luxury apartment community, overlooks the stretch of buzzing restaurants, bars and retail, and is quickly becoming one of the best places to live in Uptown.
The Standard surpasses expectations of amenities found in a high-end residence, from sparkling pools and rooftop terraces for entertaining to complimentary fitness classes in their state-of-the-art studio, an electronic key system and internet based thermostats. On top of that, the walking proximity to all of the Domain offers – Whole Foods, Topgolf, Nordstrom (opening soon!), Saint Genevieve and Restoration Hardware, to name a few – makes it the place to be. Not to mention that The Standard has also partnered with many restaurants and shops to offer residents exclusive discounts in and around the Domain.

Unique to The Standard is their Social Concierge Team, which provides welcome packages to new residents, hosts private resident events, holiday parties, casual meet-ups and more. They host gatherings with local neighborhood restaurants, coffee trucks and even Yappy Hours for the furrier residents (they are the dog-friendliest with no breed restrictions, weight limits or pet rent).

The Standard opened in January 2016, and is welcoming prospective residents to tour the space daily.
