2016 Simond Ave Unit #A, Austin, TX 78723

Walk to coffee in five minutes, stroll to H-E-B and the Sunday Farmers Market in ten, and spend your weekends on nearby parks and biking trails in one of Mueller's most walkable pockets. This rare first-floor, single-story 2-bed, 2-bath condo has no shared side walls, so you get the peace and privacy of a standalone home with easy, low-maintenance condo living. Soaring ceilings and oversized windows fill the sleek, minimalist open layout with natural light, and the upgraded kitchen pairs clean lines and stylish open shelving with custom drawers that maximize storage. The remodeled primary bathroom feel like a spa, with custom cabinetry, striking Brazilian granite counters, a luxury shower, and a modern smart toilet. Smart-home touches are everywhere, from LED and custom lighting to pop-up and hidden electrical outlets and custom window blinds, and a custom artist's studio is ready for creative work, hobbies, or a focused home office. Outside, a private fenced area includes bullnose viewing spots built just for dogs, plus a peach tree and raised garden bed for gardening lovers. A durable metal roof, a storage shed, and covered alley parking add everyday convenience, and the appliances convey. Surrounded by top-rated restaurants, neighborhood bakeries, and a nearby vet, and meticulously maintained by its one owner since 2012, this home is a true Mueller find. Single-level homes with this design and location rarely come to market, so don't wait to see it.

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.
