4116 Berkman Dr, Austin, TX 78723

In Mueller, this 3 bedroom, 3 full bathroom townhome with a main-floor office and private courtyard sits just a few blocks from Mueller Lake Park and the Aldrich Street district, where morning walks, coffee runs, outdoor concerts, and the Sunday farmers market become part of the weekly rhythm. Inside, the main floor unfolds with a natural sense of openness, anchored by new LVP flooring throughout, new kitchen backsplash, and freshly painted interior and cabinetry that gives the entire home a cohesive, updated feel. A generously sized dining space greets you just off the foyer, ideal for everything from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings, before the layout transitions into the living room and kitchen. The living area feels airy and welcoming, lined with windows that pull in soft daylight. The kitchen centers around a large island with a breakfast bar, granite countertops, stainless appliances, extensive cabinetry, and a built-in desk area that naturally becomes a command center for schedules, laptops, or creative projects. A full bathroom and a dedicated office on the main floor offer flexibility for guests, remote work, or quiet retreat space separate from the bedrooms. Upstairs, all 3 bedrooms are thoughtfully grouped together, including a spacious primary suite with a tray ceiling and a dedicated space for a sitting area, reading corner, or home fitness setup. The ensuite bath includes a dual vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet, while the nearby laundry closet keeps everyday tasks convenient. The back courtyard has been refreshed with new pavers, creating a tucked-away outdoor space suited for grilling, container gardening, or dining under the open sky, all without the maintenance of a traditional yard. From this Mueller location, the lake, parks, playgrounds, and Aldrich Street restaurants and shops are only a short distance away, with quick access to I-35, about 4 miles to downtown Austin, and roughly 7 miles to the Austin Airport.

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.
