Planned with community and sustainability in mind, the mixed-use Mueller, Austin, district has quickly become one of the city’s most desirable areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This lively development is actually a self-contained town within a city, so everything you might need daily will be within walking distance. The area\u2019s housing includes apartments, condos, single-family homes and rowhouses, arranged around a central green space. Meanwhile, the northwest corner of the neighborhood is home to a bustling commercial district. It includes both major and independent retail, a state-of-the-art H-E-B grocery store and Dell Children\u2019s Medical Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where is Mueller, Austin?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Mueller<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mueller community is located in Northeast Austin on the site of the former Mueller airport. It\u2019s just east of I-35, tucked into the triangle created by E. 51st Street to the north, and Airport Blvd and Manor Road to the southwest and southeast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The area is within a few miles of both the University of Texas campus and the capitol building. Plus, the easy access to I-35 makes it a great home base from which to reach the rest of Austin.<\/span><\/p>\n

History<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Robert Mueller Municipal Airport was opened in 1930 in a space that was, at that time, on the outskirts of the city. But by the 1970s, the airport was landlocked by the rapidly developing city and its location near the growing downtown had become inconvenient.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1999, the modern (and much larger) Austin-Bergstrom International Airport opened further east, and the Mueller Airport shut down for good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right away, the Austin City Council began discussions with developers to revitalize this prime piece of real estate. Between 2007 and 2017, the area was sustainably rebuilt with a master plan in mind, to create a walkable, desirable mixed-use district.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
