Mueller Austin Apartments Guide
Built on the site of Austin's former municipal airport, Mueller is a master-planned community just minutes from downtown, known for Lake Park, a weekly farmers market, and walkable streets. Our free locators help you find the right fit among its mix of apartment communities.
What It's Like to Rent in Mueller
Mueller sits just east of I-35 between US-290 and 51st Street, roughly four miles northeast of downtown Austin and immediately adjacent to Dell Children's Medical Center and the Ascension Seton Medical Center. The neighborhood was designed from scratch as a walkable, mixed-use community, and it shows: wide sidewalks, alley-loaded homes, and apartment buildings sit alongside parks, shops, and offices rather than being separated from them.
Apartment options in Mueller range from garden-style communities to newer mid-rise buildings, many built within the last ten to fifteen years with contemporary finishes. Typical rents run from about $1,400 for a one-bedroom to $2,900 for larger or newer units closer to Lake Park and the Aldrich Street retail district.
Because Mueller is close to both downtown and UT Austin while still feeling residential, it draws a mix of young professionals, medical center employees, and families who want green space without leaving the urban core.

Neighborhoods Worth Comparing to Mueller
Cherrywood and Windsor Park, just south and east of Mueller, offer older, more affordable apartment stock with similar proximity to downtown and I-35, appealing to renters who want lower rent without giving up the commute.
Hyde Park, southwest of Mueller near UT Austin, brings a more historic feel with bungalow-style multiplexes and a shorter walk to campus, though typically at a higher price point.
Zilker and Barton Hills, on the opposite side of downtown, trade Mueller's newer construction and green-space planning for Barton Springs, the Greenbelt, and a more established South Austin character.
