Austin Tech Neighborhood Guide: North MoPac
 
Austin is growing fast and its neighborhoods are competing to become the focal point of the city. North MoPac has capitalized on its strategic geographic location to become a go-to spot for tech companies looking for sleek new office space. 
 
"A lot of folks don’t realize that The Domain and surrounding area is the geographical center of the Austin metro," said Justin Bayne, co-founder of commercial real estate agency . "It’s more accessible to most neighborhoods, more affordable, and master planned making it more efficient. It should be no surprise that companies like HomeAway, Amazon, and Apple sought to move to the area. Additionally, the developers are doing a wonderful job keeping the Austin night life and high quality restaurant life feel with the recent opening of the Rock Rose district."
