4400 Vaughan St Unit #B, Austin, TX 78723

Mueller living means stepping out your front door onto vibrant park trails, walking to brunch on Aldrich Street, and enjoying a genuinely connected Austin neighborhood in this elevated two-story, two-bedroom condo. It starts the moment you walk up! The home sits up on an elevated lot with beautiful landscaping and a great front porch that’s made for a couple of chairs and a morning coffee. Step inside, and the whole main floor opens up into a spacious, bright living room that flows right into the kitchen and dining areas. With tile flooring and neutral walls, the space feels incredibly welcoming and holds plenty of room for hosting friends. The kitchen is set up perfectly for socializing, featuring a generous breakfast bar, wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a tile backsplash. Heading upstairs, you'll find both bedrooms filled with great natural light and spacious closets. The primary bedroom feels like its own private getaway with an attached ensuite bath. The laundry closet is also on the second floor. Out back, the rear-facing garage opens to an alleyway, which keeps the front of the home looking clean and pedestrian-friendly. The location within Mueller really gives you the best of the neighborhood. You can leave the car in the garage and walk over to the Texas Farmers’ Market at Mueller Lake Park on weekends, grab dinner at L'Oca d'Oro, or catch a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse on Aldrich Street. Everyday stops like the H-E-B and Mary Elizabeth Branch Park are just minutes away. When you do need to commute, you have quick access to I-35 and Airport Boulevard, putting you just 3 miles from Downtown Austin and a quick 15-minute drive from 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.
