2506 Zach Scott St, Austin, TX 78723

If you’ve been looking for a townhome in Mueller, you know that end units are the gold standard for a reason. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhome, with an updated roof in 2024, sits right in the thick of the neighborhood, offering you walkability to the Sunday farmers market or a quick lap around Lake Park. Being on the corner means you aren't sandwiched between neighbors; instead, you get a side yard and a row of extra windows that completely changes the energy of the house. You’re centrally located within Mueller, which is the real draw here. You can leave the car in the garage and walk to grab a coffee or dinner at the Aldrich Street shops. When you do have to leave the neighborhood, you’re about 10 minutes from Downtown Austin and around 15 minutes from the airport, with easy hops onto I-35 or Mopac. The main level features tile flooring throughout. The kitchen is a total standout! It’s been renovated with contemporary cabinetry and quartz countertops that give you plenty of room to spread out. It opens right into the living room, where a wall of windows brings the outside in. It’s a bright, comfortable space that invites you in. Upstairs, the owners replaced the carpet entirely for luxury vinyl plank flooring. The primary bedroom gets that "dreamy" light in the morning. The remodeled ensuite bath has a dual vanity and a walk-in shower with wrap-around tile, plus a walk-in closet that fits your entire wardrobe. Two more guest bedrooms are just down the hall, along with the laundry closet. The guest bathroom has been updated with a new vanity and hardware. Outside is just as thoughtful! The front porch is made for hanging out, and the side yard is xeriscaped, so it looks great but requires almost zero effort to maintain. It's the perfect spot for gardening, grilling or any other outdoor activities. The 2-car garage is tucked in the back with alley access.

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.
