What to know first
Northeast Austin runs from the Mueller edge out along US-290, Parmer Lane, Dessau and toward Pflugerville and Manor. It is one of the best value parts of the metro for new construction: large, newer communities, easy parking, and quick access to 183, 290 and SH-130, with Samsung's Taylor fab and Tesla's Giga Texas both reachable by toll road.
The trade is that it is suburban in feel and car-dependent. If you want space, a garage or a yard-style townhome for less than you would pay closer in, it is worth a serious look.
Every building below has a video tour and base rents checked on the date shown.
