When the sun comes out in Mueller (which, in Austin, happens pretty much every day), its residents make the most out of the great Texas weather, from taking a stroll around the green space of Lake Park (the physical center of the entire neighborhood), to grabbing guacamole ingredients from nearby grocery store, H.E.B., to hitting up the Texas Farmers’ Market at Mueller, which takes place at the Branch Park Pavilion every Sunday.
Mueller has an eco-minded feel, with plenty of electric cars, bike paths and dog walkers.
Mueller is definitely home to some under-the-radar foodie gems — Veracruz Fonda & Bar, from the team behind the Veracruz taco trucks, serves up seafood and tamales across from the park, while high-end L’Oca d’Oro serves standout Italian food.
For more casual days, bakery-café ThoroughFare pours a cold brew that will fuel you through endless errands, and its low-key atmosphere will make you forget the to-do list you were stressed out about beforehand.
Mueller residents choose from a variety of housing options—sleek apartments, rustic-chic condos, and classic townhouses sit side-by-side, ensuring that everyone from single 20-somethings to families of four can find a place (and a style) to call their own. Additionally, drivers in Mueller benefit from some of the best parking options in the city — even on a packed spring Saturday, you can usually find a place to dock your vehicle. Not that you’ll use it much — everything in Mueller is so walkable, chances are you will leave the keys at home.
