Question: What Texas metro is home to a master-planned community built on the site of an abandoned airport?

Answer: Austin. The 711-acre community was developed on the site of the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, which opened in 1930 and closed in 1999 when Austin-Bergstrom International Airport opened. Mueller has won several awards for sustainability, and prominent features include the former airport’s traffic control tower, an amphitheater in a converted hangar, and The Thinkery children’s museum.
