Mueller — Austin Neighborhood Guide
Mueller is a master-planned New Urbanist community built on the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport site, featuring walkable streets, Thinkery children's museum, and Lake Park. Flash Flood Alley risk here is low thanks to modern stormwater infrastructure designed into the development from the ground up. Cedar Fever from December through February brings heavy mountain cedar pollen across all of Central Austin, and Mueller is no exception. Austin Energy is the sole electricity provider — the city's municipal utility means no deregulated rate shopping. Home prices have corrected from the 2022 peak, with the median now around $520,000. Austin ISD serves Mueller, but the district is closing campuses due to declining enrollment, so families should verify current school assignments.

Mueller is considered one of Austin's best family neighborhoods. It features the Thinkery children's museum, Lake Park with a splash pad and playground, wide sidewalks, and a strong community feel.

Mueller home prices have corrected from the 2022 peak, with the median now around $520,000. The development offers a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos at various price points. New construction lots are largely built out, so most purchases are resales.
