Mueller Austin TX Control Tower
Mueller Austin is heavily featured in any list of green neighborhoods – it was the first neighborhood that was designated as a LEED Silver Certified Plan from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Not only are the homes built to an energy efficient rating scheme (Austin Energy’s Green Building Program), but the way the neighborhood is designed as a walkable mixed use community is considered and sustainable. The fact that it’s less than 3 miles to downtown is a factor, as are the extensive green spaces and commitment in the commercial buildings to LEED certification.
What does this mean for the homes sold there? The neighborhood gets a great deal of attention, and the 140 acres of parks and trails attract a great many visitors, so the grapevine for home sales is often abuzz.
