Mueller neighborhood in Austin is a famil and dog friendly community known for its sustainable design, modern amenities, and diverse atmosphere. Nestled just a few miles from downtown, Mueller offers a perfect blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. Guests can explore the neighborhood's beautiful parks, trendy shops, and delicious dining options. Visit on Sundays for the mueller farmers market. This is where my husband and I first lived together in Austin and where he proposed, so it’s a very special neighborhood to us. :)

Convenience Store
Forget something like water, snacks, toiletries? Rio Mart is like a better version of CVS or Walgreens minus the prescription section. Although they do carry essential OTC products like pain, allergy, and stomach meds. They sell any essential item you can think of as well as drinks and snacks and alcohol. Only a block up the street. 1-2 minute walk. Rio Mart closes late.
