Live in the heart of Mueller with the neighborhood’s parks, trails, and restaurants right outside your door. Located in Parkside at Mueller, a modern condo building completed just two years ago, Unit 407 offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and two reserved parking spaces in the controlled-access garage. Inside, the home feels warm and sophisticated, with white oak luxury vinyl plank flooring, quartz countertops, Italian-style cabinetry, brass fixtures, updated kitchen lighting, and custom window blinds. The spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet and a beautifully finished bath with a walk-in shower, while the second bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or roommate. And then there’s the lifestyle! Also located on the 4th floor just steps away from 407, you'll find Parkside's amenity deck. Spend afternoons at the resort-style pool with cabanas, work out in the fitness center, dine alfresco at the outdoor kitchen, or relax in the resident lounge with its fireplace and kitchenette. Co-working spaces make working from home easy, dedicated bike storage keeps you ready to hit the trails, and the rooftop deck offers sweeping views over Mueller Lake and the downtown Austin skyline. Step outside and Mueller becomes your backyard. Walk around Mueller Lake Park, explore the neighborhood’s extensive trail system, visit the Sunday Mueller Farmers’ Market, or stroll to Aldrich Street for dinner and drinks at neighborhood favorites like B.D. Riley’s, Chuy’s, Hopdoddy, Veracruz All Natural, and Dish Society. Fitness, shopping, coffee, entertainment, and everyday conveniences are all close at hand.

Mueller is what happens when a city tears down its old airport and rebuilds the neighborhood from scratch with everything it learned. 700 acres of mixed-use design, 140+ acres of parks and green space, and one of the largest LEED-certified communities in Texas. The street grid is walkable, the houses face each other instead of garages, and the Lake Park splash pad is the unofficial summer gathering point.

Housing runs from 1,200 sqft row homes around $550K to 4,000+ sqft single-family homes near $1.4M. Yard homes, garden homes, condos, and townhomes are mixed on the same block by design. Most builds went up between 2007 and 2022, so HVAC, roofs, and energy systems are modern. Expect $380-$450/sqft on resales depending on type and location within the neighborhood.

The 78723 zip is what surprises buyers most. Mueller sits 10 minutes from downtown via Manor Road, 7 minutes from Dell Children's Medical Center, and 15 minutes from the airport. The Thursday Farmers' Market at Mueller Lake Park runs year-round. Aldrich Street has the H-E-B, restaurants, and the Alamo Drafthouse anchor. Branch Park hosts free outdoor movies in summer.

Schools serve Austin ISD: Maplewood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High - which has Austin's longest-running Fine Arts Academy. Families also pull from Magellan International School and Austin Achieve Public Schools nearby.

What you get in Mueller that you can't replicate elsewhere in Austin: a master-planned neighborhood with a real urban density model, parks within a 5-minute walk of every door, and a mixed-income housing program that keeps the demographic diverse. What you give up: large lots. Most yards are intentionally small to keep density high and parks plentiful.

Best for buyers who want walkability, sustainable design, and a real neighborhood feel without leaving the urban core.
