Street Smarts: How Well Do You Know Your Streets?
Aldrich Street: Mueller
New Kid on the Block
The Mueller master planned community is a walkable newer gem of the Eastside. Thoughtfully designed to include everything a family or young professional could need within just a few blocks, it’s the place to live and work for those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Austin traffic on their daily commute but remain close to everything the city has to offer.
On Sundays, Branch Park Pavilion becomes a beacon of brightly colored fresh produce, attracting Eastsiders from every neighborhood to the weekly Texas Farmers’ Market. This producer-only market attracts farmers and small business owners from all over Central Texas. The Performing Arts Center and East Austin’s only Alamo Drafthouse call Mueller home. Those looking for a novel experience should take a walk on the wild side and indulge in Rebel Cheese. Their entirely plant-based menu (the highlight of which is their selection of artisanal nut-based cheeses) is delightful, and their weekend brunch, in particular, transports tastebuds to the streets of Paris.
