Mueller: The Master-Planned Neighborhood on Austin's Old Airport

Mueller is a master-planned community in East Austin built on the site of Austin's old airport, before the move to Bergstrom, with homes, a large retail area and a huge park system. It's one of the hottest neighborhoods in Austin: when I filmed in January 2023, almost everything that went up for sale was gone in an instant.

What Mueller is

Mueller is built on the property of Austin's old airport, from before we moved out to Bergstrom. Today it's a master-planned community in East Austin of homes, retail and a huge parks system.

Life in Mueller

There's a huge emphasis on community here. You can't go out in the morning without seeing people out for a jog, walking the dog and kids playing in the parks. There are lots of walking trails and parks.

It's got the benefits of a suburban neighborhood, but you can walk to restaurants. There's also a large retail development and a movie theater.

Homes in Mueller

There's literally something here for everybody: homes for every budget and size, including some with garage apartments.

In my video, I toured a home by Muskin Company, a green, sustainable Austin-area builder, while scouting for a relocating client. It was 3 bedrooms and just over 2,200 sq ft. Muskin is all about efficiency. The metal roof acts as a thermal barrier, and there's a huge emphasis on natural light to cut down on artificial lighting.

Be ready to move fast. Almost everything that goes up for sale here is gone quickly.

Who Mueller fits

Mueller fits people who want parks, trails and walkable restaurants in a close-in master-planned neighborhood. The main trade-off is competition: good homes go fast. When I work for you, you get me. I show the homes, I negotiate and I'm the one who answers your call. You're never handed off to a teammate you didn't choose.

My honest take
Mueller is one of the hottest neighborhoods in Austin for a reason. You get a real community, with people out on the trails every morning, and you can still walk to dinner. If it's on your list, let's get you ready before the right home hits the market. Call or text me at (512) 983-7331 or email mason@masonsellsaustin.com.— Mason Bleasdell
