1924 Emma Long St, Austin, TX 78723

This is the kind of house that does more than check boxes—it’s ready for what’s next. Sitting on a quiet street in the original heart of Mueller, this home has been thoughtfully prepped for its new chapter. A 2022 roof with hail-resistant Timberline HDZ shingles, upgraded Lighthouse Solar Panels, several replaced windows and screens, fresh exterior paint (balconies included), electric car charger in the garage, and updated landscaping mean the heavy lifting is done. Inside, the main floor is bathed in natural light! The living room feels warm and grounded, with crown molding, in-wall Polk Surround speakers and a fireplace featuring a tile surround. The well-designed kitchen makes every square inch count, offering plenty of storage, wood cabinetry, tile backsplash, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and an updated garbage disposal. The main-floor primary bedroom is a retreat worth retreating to—spacious, comfortable, and tucked away for privacy. Its ensuite bathroom includes separate vanities, updated faucets, a walk-in shower, and a generously sized walk-in closet. Upstairs, the home offers even more. A huge game room with in-wall surround wiring serves as a versatile space for play, work, or unwinding, while the private balcony provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the neighborhood. Three additional guest bedrooms and a full bathroom round out the second floor, making sure there’s plenty of space for everyone. Step outside to a private courtyard that balances charm and simplicity. The deck and trellis create an easy-to-maintain space perfect for relaxing or entertaining without adding to your weekend to-do list. And the location? You’re only a few blocks from Mueller Lake, trails, dining, entertainment, and shopping. With wonderful neighbors and easy access to everything this community offers, the location truly couldn’t be better. This home isn’t just ready for you—it’s ready for whatever you’re dreaming up next.

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.
