Mueller

Built on the former site of Austin's Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, Mueller is one of the city's most innovative and walkable neighborhoods. Located just three miles from downtown in Northeast Austin, Mueller was designed from the ground up as a modern mixed-use community where residents can walk to restaurants, shops, parks, and entertainment without ever getting in a car. It is a neighborhood that feels like a small town inside a big city — and that is exactly the point.

Real Estate in Mueller

Mueller's housing market reflects its premium location and thoughtful design, with a median home price around $805,000. Homes range from the high $500s to over $1 million, with options including single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and apartments. The neighborhood is known for its energy-efficient construction, modern floor plans, and innovative builds — including some of Austin's first 3D-printed homes by ICON. Mueller also features an Affordable Homes Program that supports families with incomes below the area median, contributing to the neighborhood's inclusive character. Homes move at a steady pace, with an average of about 66 days on the market.

Top-Rated Schools

Mueller families are served by the Austin Independent School District. The neighborhood's designated schools include several well-regarded campuses with strong academic programs. Parents also have access to a range of charter and private school options nearby. The neighborhood's family-friendly design — with parks, playgrounds, and wide sidewalks — makes it especially appealing for households with school-age children.

Lifestyle and Dining

Mueller's walkable town center is one of its biggest draws. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema anchors the entertainment offerings, while restaurants like L'Oca d'Oro, Colleen's Kitchen, Kerbey Lane Cafe, Nando's, and Aviator Pizza provide a range of dining options steps from home. BD Riley's Irish Pub brings Austin's bar culture to the neighborhood, and Boa'd Up serves standout Asian street food. An H-E-B grocery store — one of the most eco-friendly in the chain — is located in the Market District alongside Torchy's Tacos and local shops. The Mueller Farmers Market runs weekly, offering fresh produce and artisan goods. Retail options like Best Buy and Marshalls round out everyday shopping needs.

Parks and Outdoor Activities

Mueller was designed with green space at its core. Every home is within 600 feet of a community green space, and the neighborhood's 13 miles of trails and bike lanes connect residents to parks, shops, and schools. Mueller Lake Park offers 30 acres of open space with walking trails, public art installations, and room for picnics and pickup games. Mary Elizabeth Branch Park features a playground, open lawn, and shaded seating areas. The Mueller Skate Park draws skaters and spectators alike. Two junior Olympic-sized swimming pools and multiple dog parks add to the outdoor amenities.

Housing Options

Mueller offers one of the most diverse housing mixes in Austin. Single-family homes with modern architecture sit alongside townhomes and condominiums in a connected, walkable grid. The neighborhood was built with sustainability in mind — energy-efficient designs, solar-ready roofs, and green building standards are common. Options range from compact condos ideal for young professionals to spacious family homes with yards and garages. The variety of price points and housing types means Mueller attracts a wide range of residents, from first-time buyers to downsizers.

Getting Around

Mueller's central location is a major advantage. Downtown Austin is about 15 minutes by car, and the neighborhood is bordered by I-35, Airport Boulevard, and Manor Road, providing easy access to all parts of the city. The walkable and bikeable street grid means many daily errands can be completed on foot. Capital Metro bus routes serve the area, and the upcoming Project Connect transit improvements will further enhance connectivity. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is about 20 minutes away.
