4052 Berkman Dr, Austin, TX 78723

This chic, modern home suits its enviable and exclusive Mueller location. Mixing both impeccable style and comfort, the well-arranged layout features a flawless, open concept floor plan with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The interior was designed to live quietly; thick walls between units and minimal road noise. At the front of the home, find the dining area providing the perfect space for dinner parties with friends and family. Downstairs, a sun-bathed flex space is staged as an office. Work from home here, but be careful, the captivating views out of the large windows may have you daydreaming about feeding the ducks at Mueller Lake or grabbing a bite to eat at one of the several restaurants that are located in walking distance. The kitchen truly is the heart of this home with beautiful granite countertops, white shaker style cabinetry, stainless appliances, tile backsplash, a center island with a breakfast bar, with tons of storage space. The "kick off your shoes" kind of living room will be one of favorite spaces to spend time, providing both a place to relax and entertain. Feel like you are sleeping among the treetops in the generous primary bedroom that includes an wall of oversized windows, a high ceiling, an en suite bath, and a walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room. A balcony off of the primary bedroom enjoys a lovely expanse of treetops along with the tip top view of the old Mueller airport tower; such a cool and unique piece of Austin history outside your door! A well-structured courtyard becomes an extension of the living space with beautiful landscaping and a deck for both lounging and alfresco dining. From your front door, you are only a couple of blocks to Ella Wooten Park with a park, pool, and playscape, .6 miles from the trails around Mueller Lake, and only 1 mile from Aldrich St that features the Alamo Drafthouse, the Thinkery, Canteen, Halcyon, and more. Kitchen appliances are new and convey!

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.
