2208 Tom Miller St, Austin, TX 78723

Front-porch living takes on a whole new meaning when your view looks directly onto open green lawns, and that is daily life on Tom Miller St in Mueller. Step inside of this single-story setup with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, and the home unfolds with an easy, natural flow. The main living room gathers sunlight through wood-shuttered windows that frame the park outside, balanced by a fireplace built for chilly winter evenings. Right next to it, the dining area stands out with a stone accent wall, providing a handsome backdrop whether you are hosting friends for dinner or keeping things casual. The kitchen keeps you right in the mix, equipped with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and a center island with breakfast-bar seating where guests can hang out while dinner comes together. Tucked away for quiet evenings, the primary suite features high ceilings, neutral walls, brand-new carpet, and an ensuite bath with an oversized dual vanity, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a spacious closet. One guest bedroom doubles naturally as a bright work-from-home office, while two additional bedrooms offer new carpeting underfoot. Out through the side door, a covered patio and a private fenced yard lead directly to the two-car alley-access garage. The Mueller lifestyle is right outside your doorstep. Lace up your shoes and you are immediately on the neighborhood trail system, leading straight to Mueller Lake Park’s open lawns, ducks, and Rock the Park. The Aldrich Street entertainment district is practically your extended backyard: walk over for handmade pasta at L’Oca d’Oro, grab a pint at B.D. Riley’s, or catch a new release at the Alamo Drafthouse without touching your car keys. When you do head out, quick access to Airport Boulevard and I-35 puts Downtown Austin just ten minutes away, while Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is an easy 12-minute hop down the highway.

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.
