A Look at the Various Types of Homes in Mueller

Mueller is a unique place. Stop me if you’ve heard that one before. However, one aspect of the neighborhood that doesn’t get discussed often enough is diversity of homes.

As many longtime Mueller residents (like myself!) know, as lives and needs change, so too do the options and opportunities Mueller offers, allowing residents to remain in the community.

Allow Me to Pose a hypothetical

A young adult who’s just settling into working life finds a great apartment in the AMLI North Park at the corner of Garcia and Aldrich Street. They begin to build a life in Mueller. They get coffee every morning at Lady Quacks. They have a group of friends that meet for happy hour at BD Riley’s regularly. Their dog even has friends he meets up with regularly.

A few years go by, and this youngish adult realizes they’re ready for the next phase of life. A guest room/home office has become a necessity and the dog could use a yard. They want to buy their first house.

There’s no need to uproot.

Their friendly neighborhood real estate professional helps them find a townhome on Garcia Street. Same shops. Same commute. Same neighbors. But now there’s more space for life. Eventually, another person moves in. And another dog.

More life happens. There’s going to be another tiny human soon. The dogs have been joined by a cat. There’s more life. They are a family now, and they need more room.

No need to uproot.

Their friendly neighborhood real estate professional helps find them a single family yard home in the “new section” across Berkman. 3 bedrooms and a shaded walk block from Marshall Middle School. There’s room to grow.

And the family does. More life happens. Before they know it, their two kids have left the nest. It’s just two adults and a cantankerous old cat now. They want fewer stairs to climb. They need less space.

No need to uproot.

Their friendly neighborhood real estate professional’s protégé helps guide them to the 55+ community that best suits their current needs. They choose Overture! Back on Garcia Street. Right where they began.


New Chapters, Same Setting

The moral of the story is that in Mueller, a new stage of life doesn’t require a move to a new neighborhood.

From apartments to townhouses, detached single family homes to 55+ senior living, Mueller was designed with an unusually broad mix of housing types woven throughout the neighborhood.
