Neighborhood

Mueller

Northeast of downtown between I-35 and Manor Road, on the site of the old Robert Mueller Municipal Airport.

28 places 23 independent 5 chains 5 categories most: parks (16)

Mueller is the newest district in this directory. Until 1999 it was the city’s airport; after the airport moved to the old Bergstrom air base, the land was replanned as a dense mixed-use neighborhood, and building has been going on there since the mid-2000s. The old control tower still stands next to the shopping center on the western edge.

The plan gave the district an unusual amount of park space for its size, and our data reflects it: parks are the single largest category here, with a chain of greens, pocket parks and the lake park running through the middle. The commercial blocks are around Aldrich Street and along Berkman Drive, and they are where the coffee and food sit.

The radius is about 1.3 km from the center of the development. Places on the far side of I-35 belong to Hyde Park or North Loop; places south of Manor Road drift toward East Austin.

What is missing from this page

Our pull found no live music and bars, bookstores and libraries inside the 1.3 km Mueller radius. That means none are tagged that way in OpenStreetMap within it, which is a limit of the map data and of our district boundaries; it does not mean none exist.

Each district is defined by a center point and a radius, listed on the editorial policy page, and every place is assigned to the district whose center is nearest. Places near an edge can land on a neighbor's page. The three closest districts to Mueller are Hyde Park, North Loop, East Austin.
