4517 Kocurek St, Austin, TX 78723

Tucked along one of Mueller’s most inviting courtyard streets, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a low-maintenance lifestyle with a strong connection to outdoor space. The front door opens directly to a shared green courtyard, creating a sense of openness and community that’s rare for this price point.

Inside, the layout is both functional and refined. A light-filled main living area centers around a generous kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island wrapped with custom shelving. Dark wood floors ground the space, while large windows and tall ceilings keep it feeling bright and airy.

Each bedroom features its own en-suite bath, offering flexibility for guests, work-from-home setups, multigenerational living, or roommate scenarios. The primary suite is spacious and serene, complemented by a spa-like bath with a walk-in shower and dual vanities.

Low-maintenance living extends beyond the interiors with no yard upkeep - just lock-and-leave, while still enjoying immediate access to green space right outside your door.

All set in the heart of Mueller, just moments from parks, trails, restaurants, and everyday conveniences.

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.
