Just three miles north of downtown Austin in the new Mueller master planned community, the HBA is currently hosting it’s first ever Parade of 5 Star Green homes. This development is the realization of sustainable & transit oriented living in our urban core. The five magnificent homes showcased are essentially the flagships for the new development. These homes boast everything from the aesthetically pleasing zen indoor/outdoor spaces to the practical energy efficient materials and systems and even sustainable features such as optimizing site specific attributes and using reclaimed materials.
