Literally Green

This quote from Mueller's website: "More than 140 acres of Mueller - one-fifth of the community - is dedicated to public parks, greenbelts, playfields, trails, and plazas. This network of public greenspace connects to other parks and trails in Austin's No. 1-in-the-nation park system. And Mueller's streetscapes are also designed and landscaped to promote outdoor living, walking and biking, and urban vitality."

In addition, Mueller's stated goal is to have every dwelling unit within 600 feet (less than 1/8th mile) of one of the green spaces enumerated below.
The area shaded in purple is the first section of residential they are building, and the two strips in dark red are the places where they have assigned as affordable rowhouses, the house type we are buying. So we are moving into the southwest section of Mueller, between Lake Park and the Park to Neighborhood 2.But don't get too excited too fast. This picture of Mia was taken at Lake Park at sunset, looking east. Remember that Mueller was an airport, and very few trees dotted its landscape. It will probably be 20 years before the newly planted trees for the avenues, parks, and greenways develop into maturity with extensive shade and space-defining capacity. As our present apartment community has nothing like a park, I'd say we'll take what we can get!
