2128 Philomena St, Austin, TX 78723

Modern, open townhome in Mueller on a corner lot. This 3-bedroom, 2 and a half bathroom home has an open floorplan with a sleek, clean, newly updated kitchen. Custom Hunter Douglas blinds throughout the home allow for complete privacy along with abundant natural light. There is no carpet in this home - wood floors and tile throughout! The living room is equipped with Polk built-in speakers. Enjoy the peaceful courtyard with room for yoga in front of one of the soothing water features, or turn on some music with the outdoor speakers. The garage is currently being used as a home gym, which easily breaks down to allow parking for two vehicles. The freshly painted exterior is maintained by the HOA for lock-and-leave convenience. Be close and walk to everything Mueller, including HEB, Torchy's, Kerbey Lane, Lake Park, and Town Center. The nearby Branch Park has a small dog park, splash pad, and will house the Mueller Farmers' Market in late June.

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.
