3401 Zach Scott St, Austin, TX 78723

Stepping out your front door to views of the neighborhood park, this two-story Mueller townhome instantly pulls you into one of East Austin’s most connected communities. Large windows and high ceilings drench the interior in natural light, framing green views while setting a welcoming tone the moment you walk in. Life in Mueller is built around the outdoors, with paved neighborhood paths, tree-shaded pocket parks, and community pools creating an easy rhythm where morning coffee walks and evening sunset strolls happen naturally. The main floor is laid out for real living and relaxed gathering. A beautiful kitchen anchored by quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a central island keeps the cook part of every conversation, opening directly into the living room and sunny breakfast nook. A pantry keeps storage organized and out of sight. Step out into your private side yard; a beautifully landscaped, quiet retreat that gives pets space to roam or gives you a secluded spot for outdoor dining that’s hard to find in a townhome. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are tucked away for quiet separation from the main living area. The primary suite features high ceilings, a double vanity bath, and a deep walk-in closet. Just down the hall, a huge second-story balcony looks directly over the park across the street, offering an elevated front-row seat to tree-canopy views and fresh air. The proximity here is what truly sets daily life apart. You are steps from the Southeast Greenway and miles of hike-and-bike trails that weave through the neighborhood. Stroll over to Aldrich Street to catch a movie at Alamo Drafthouse, grab dinner on a patio, or pick up local produce at the Sunday Farmers’ Market. When you need to venture farther out, IH 35 and Highway 183 put Downtown Austin under 5 miles away and the airport just a 15-minute drive. Parkside views, private outdoor space, and a true front-porch community make this Mueller townhome a home you want to see.

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.
