And to one side of the new Apple campus, there's a particular kind of nothing, development-wise: Robinson Ranch.
It's a gigantic family-owned plot of land, about 7000 acres (11 square miles, 28 km^2).
The Robinson family could have sold it all off to developers, but so far they have been very limited about that. Mostly they've just allowed stuff with obvious public benefit like a high school.
So the new Apple campus is on a major road, and one side it's suburbs, but on the other side, it's trees, grass, and (this being Texas) a bit of cactus.
