4719 Ruiz St, Austin, TX 78723

Perched above Branch Park in the heart of Mueller, this contemporary townhome pairs sweeping green views with the kind of thoughtful, sophisticated finishes that make everyday living feel effortless.

Beautiful hardwood floors and plantation shutters run throughout. The main level showcases an open-concept layout with a gourmet kitchen that opens to the living and dining areas, along with a first-floor primary suite with full bath and a beautifully turfed and xeriscaped backyard.

The second level offers a second luxurious primary suite complete with a private balcony and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanity, and oversized closet, plus two additional bedrooms and the laundry room.

The third floor opens to an expansive second living space with a wet bar and half bath, leading out to a spacious turfed terrace with sweeping views of Branch Park.

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.
