The community spans roughly 1,500 acres with rolling terrain, mature oaks, miles of trails, two amenity centers with pools, and dedicated parkland along the river. Six builders are currently active — Chesmar Homes, Coventry Homes, Highland Homes, M/I Homes, Perry Homes, and Taylor Morrison — offering a wide range of floor plans and price points alongside a small number of resale homes.

Parkside on the River has a distinctive feel that buyers notice on the first tour. The terrain rolls with limestone outcroppings and preserved oak groves, and the streets are laid out with cul-de-sacs that create wider lots and reduce cut-through traffic. The San Gabriel River greenway runs along the back edge of the community, and two separate amenity centers serve different sections so residents are never far from a pool or trailhead. Buyers who visit consistently comment on the sense of openness and the way the development worked around the natural features rather than clearing them.

What to Expect When Buying in Parkside on the River
Buying in Parkside on the River means entering one of Georgetown’s most active new construction markets. Six builders are selling simultaneously, and 208 of the 213 closings in the past year were new construction. That context shapes pricing, negotiation, and what you should know before signing a contract.
Price Tiers
- Under $500,000 — 31 closings in the past year. Smaller floor plans or earlier phases. Median $469,900, median 109 days on market.
- $500,000 to $700,000 — Highest-volume segment with 104 closings. Median $599,945, median 124 days on market. Most competition from new construction.
- $700,000 and above — 79 closings. Median $810,000, median 72 days on market. Fastest-moving segment with fewest price reductions.
New Construction vs. Resale
New construction accounts for the vast majority of activity in Parkside. Only 5 resale homes closed in the past year (median $472,000, median 76 days on market). If you are open to resale, inventory is very limited and competition is low. If you are considering new construction, understanding builder incentives, lot premiums, and what is standard vs. upgraded is critical before you sign a contract.
Builder Spotlight
Six builders are currently active in Parkside on the River, and each brings a different approach to floor plans, finishes, and incentives. Chesmar Homes and Perry Homes tend to emphasize energy efficiency and strong structural options. M/I Homes and Coventry Homes offer flexible configurations that work well for buyers who need a dedicated office, multigenerational space, or a larger primary suite. Highland Homes and Taylor Morrison attract buyers looking for more premium exterior elevations and finish-out options. Builder incentives in Parkside change frequently — rate buydowns, closing cost contributions, and design center credits are all common but vary by phase and inventory. Having an independent buyer’s agent with you from the first builder visit ensures you understand exactly what you are committing to before you sign.
