The Arboretum in Austin is located in the Northwest of Austin proper, but has become the center of the Greater Austin Metro Area. The Arboretum is a shopping center that is located at the intersection of 3 of Austin's major highways - 183/Research, Mopac/Loop 1, & Loop 360/Cap. of TX Highway. The Arboretum is often referred to as a general region of Austin, and can be thought of as anything within a 3-4 mile radius of these highways' intersection.

The Arboretum Area offers a phenomenal location that is very close to Austin's high tech employers, and is still a quick drive to Austin's downtown & the phenomenal nightlife, restaurants, music, and cultural events offered there. Recently, The Domain opened in the Arboretum area & offers incredible shopping & restaurants.

The Arboretum Area offers many different rental options in many different price ranges. Apartments in the Arboretum area range from brand new luxury options found in The Domain, to more affordable options in wonderfully renovated properties originally built in the 1980's.
