4207 Margarita St, Austin, TX 78723

You can grab a morning coffee by Kinney Park, walk over to the farmers market, and meet friends for dinner at L'Oca d'Oro, all blocks from your front door in the highly accessible Mueller community. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom contemporary townhome channels the active, connected lifestyle that defines this highly sought after neighborhood. The two-story layout keeps your daily life organized yet open. On the main level, the front door opens into an expansive living room that flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating an ideal setup for keeping conversations going. This entire floor feels expansive, with tall ceilings and large windows that draw in natural light across the vinyl plank flooring. In the kitchen, a large center island serves as the layout's hub, complemented by quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and deep cabinet storage. Just past the kitchen, the living space opens directly to the back of the home, where a private patio and fenced backyard offer an outdoor retreat rare for townhome living. Heading upstairs, a central loft space serves as a secondary game room or casual lounge, separating the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms. The primary bedroom features its own screened in, private balcony, alongside a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom equipped with a dual vanity and a large walk-in shower with an integrated soaking tub. The location within Mueller places you within easy walking distance of John Gaines Park and Aldrich St. Residents enjoy quick access to community pools, playgrounds, and miles of hike and bike trails, with local staples like Colleen's Kitchen and B.D. Riley's Irish Pub right around the corner. Situated just minutes from IH 35 and 5 miles from Downtown Austin, this location effortlessly bridges quiet Mueller neighborhood living with an easy commuter route.

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.
