Parking

North Austin stretches from the UT campus area up to The Domain and beyond along the I-35 and MoPac corridors. It's where you'll find the most budget motel options in Austin, plus easy access to UT and the tech corridor. The trade-off is distance from downtown nightlife.

Pros

✓ Cheapest hotel prices in the Austin metro area✓ Free parking everywhere — no garages or meters✓ Close to UT campus and north Austin tech employers

Cons

⚠ 15-25 minute drive to downtown and 6th Street⚠ Need a car for everything — no walkable nightlife or dining strips⚠ Some stretches of I-35 motels have dated or sketchy properties

🛡️ Safety: Generally safe along the main corridors. The Rundberg Lane area (north of 183) has a rougher reputation — check reviews carefully for hotels in that zone. The Domain area is upscale and very safe.
