Central East Austin Real Estate - Mueller and More

Austin’s Cherrywood neighborhood is full of character, known for its brightly colored stucco homes, Duplex Nation, and plenty of things to do. Cherrywood lies east of I-35, roughly bounded on the west by the highway, the east by Airport Boulevard, the north by Wilshire Boulevard and the south by Manor Road, with Cherrywood Road running through the center.

French Place, a neighborhood pocketed within Cherrywood, features many homes built in the 1940’s by the Giles family. Residents use the neighborhood names interchangeably as they share a zip code and a very active online group, and both are within a hop, skip and a jump of any number of great places to visit and things to do.

The neighborhood schools include: Maplewood Elementary, Kealing Middle School (a magnet school), and McCallum High School (also a magnet school). The University of Texas is just about two miles away.
