Looking to cut down on commute time? Many home buyers are on the hunt for the perfect combination of a great living space with all of their needs nearby. We've tallied up some of our favorite Austin neighborhoods where you can live, work, and play. If you'd like see, read on!
Mueller homes are located just north of Airport Boulevard and east of the I-35.
Mueller is the epitome of the live, work, play mantra. All within a short distance from your welcome mat are the shops, offices, and restaurants that make it unique. This neighborhood is also home to the Thinkery, the former Austin Children’s Museum. Bakeries, yoga studios, and a farmers market sit alongside the food trucks that call the community home. Local blends with big box, so you never have to venture far.
Coming Soon: Saint Elmo Public Market @ South Congress
The first of its kind, the Saint Elmo Public Market is slated to bring East Austin to a new level of live-work. The neighborhood is already popular, thanks to its proximity to Austin haunts and venues, and now the new market will not only amplify interest, but open its doors to even more local retailers, gourmands, and entrepreneurs. Stands and booths will be housed in an industrial warehouse—an old school bus factory— on South Congress, near Ben White Boulevard. It’s a few years away, as construction is scheduled to finish in 2018, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start eyeing up homes nearby.
Neighborhoods near Lamar Central include Rosedale, Old West Austin, and Hyde Park—the recent winner of a national accolade for top community.
Located in the heart of established communities, Lamar Central offers a new edge of working and playing within walking distance of your own home. The expansive retail and commercial development sits at 3800 North Lamar, and its size is indicative of its offerings. Several creative agencies grace the hallways and a local jewelry designer has opened a flagship location within its walls. In June, it was announced that Campagna Napoli, a high-end men's clothing store, and Finley's Barber Shop would be setting up shop in the coming months. Since opening in April, the in-house breakfast nook, Snooze, where brunch is the only meal on the menu, has been a huge hit with Austinites.
