Parkside on the River

A 1,500-acre master plan on the San Gabriel River with an invisible line running through it. Half the community is in Leander ISD and half is in Georgetown ISD, every home has the same Georgetown address and the same ZIP code, and two streets have houses on both sides.

Find out which district your lot is in

Before you fall in love with a floor plan, you want the school district for that specific homesite in writing. Luke Allen checks it against both districts, not the sales office, and the builder pays his fee in most cases.

Step 1 of 2. No spam, Luke replies personally, and your information is never sold.

The short version

Parkside on the River is split between two school districts. As of October 2, 2026 the live listings put roughly 48 homes in Georgetown ISD and 32 in Leander ISD. Every one of them is a Georgetown address in 78628. You cannot tell from the address, you cannot tell from the ZIP, and on two streets you cannot tell from the street either.

The community’s own schools page tells you to work it out from the builder. That rule and the live MLS data no longer agree, and the biggest builder here is currently selling into both districts at close to an even split. The section below shows exactly where they diverge.

The other thing worth knowing before you tour: the Leander ISD side lists about $137,500 higher at the median, and most of that is size, not district. Per square foot the two sides ask within a couple of percent of each other.

The dividing line

Two communities wearing one name

Both panels are built from the live feed each time this page refreshes. The district for each home is read from the MLS school assignment, where Rouse means Leander ISD and East View means Georgetown ISD.

Where the sources disagree

You cannot pick your district by picking a builder

The community’s own schools page gives buyers a simple rule: Perry Homes and Taylor Morrison are Georgetown ISD, and Coventry, Highland, and M/I are Leander ISD. It is a reasonable thing to publish and it was probably right when it was written. Here it is against what those same builders are actually listing today.

BuilderCommunity page saysListed in Leander ISDListed in Georgetown ISDHolds up?
Perry HomesGeorgetown ISD2121No, it is close to an even split
Coventry HomesLeander ISD312No, the majority are the other way
Highland HomesLeander ISD84Mostly, with exceptions
Chesmar Homesnot listed on the page06Not covered by the rule
Taylor MorrisonGeorgetown ISD05Yes, every listing

Nobody is being dishonest here. The likeliest reading is that the rule describes an earlier phase and the builders have expanded into sections on the other side of the line since. Note too that the rule does not mention Chesmar, DRB, or Westin at all, all of which the developer now lists as building here. The practical conclusion is the same either way: the district belongs to the lot, not the builder, so verify the exact address with Georgetown ISD and Leander ISD and get the answer in writing.

The line, drawn

Each pill is a live listing, coloured by the school district the MLS assigns it. This is the clearest picture of the split you will find anywhere, because nobody selling here has a reason to draw it.

The entry point into Parkside on the River

The nine lowest-priced homes in the community right now, sorted from the bottom up. Check the district on each one individually rather than assuming it from the neighbours.

Based on information from Unlock MLS (the Austin Board of REALTORS, ACTRIS) for the period through the most recent sync. Listing data is provided for consumers’ personal, non-commercial use and may not be used for any purpose other than to identify prospective properties. All information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed and should be independently verified. Properties may be listed by brokerage firms other than Austin Marketing + Development Group; the listing broker is shown with each home where the MLS provides it.

The money question

What the Leander ISD side is actually worth

This is where most buyers get the number wrong in both directions, so it is worth doing carefully.

The headline gap

$137,500

The difference between the two sides’ median asking prices. It is the number a buyer arrives at by comparing listings, and it badly overstates what the district costs.

Asking, per square foot

$239 vs $234

Within a couple of percent. The Leander-side homes are simply larger, by roughly 300 square feet at the median. On asking price, the district is nearly free.

Closed, per square foot

$239 vs $219

Here the premium appears: about nine percent per foot in what has actually sold over the last six months. Real, consistent, and a long way from $137,000.

Put together: buyers are paying something in the high single digits per square foot for the Leander ISD side, while asking prices across the two sides are nearly identical per foot. That tells you the Georgetown-side listings are the ones carrying a bit more negotiating room, and that anyone quoting you the median gap as the price of the school district is off by more than a factor of three. If the district genuinely matters to you, buy it, and know what you are paying. If it does not, the Georgetown ISD side is the better value per foot in this community today.

Market pace

The slowest community in this series so far

Closings here peaked at 19 in May and fell to single digits through the summer. Against roughly 80 homes on the market, the recent pace works out to somewhere in the region of ten to thirteen months of supply, where the metro as a whole sits closer to six and Lariat runs seven to eight.

That is the single most useful fact on this page for anyone ready to buy. Standing inventory at this level is where builders start paying real money: closing costs, permanent rate buydowns, finished backyards, upgraded flooring. Those concessions are worth more to you than a headline discount and are far easier for a builder to agree to, because a price cut resets the comps for every home behind yours and an incentive does not.

September is provisional. Builder closings report late, so the most recent month always reads low until it settles. Even discounting it entirely, July and August averaged well under half of May.

The community

1,500 acres on the San Gabriel

Whichever side of the line you end up on, this part is the same.

What you get
  • Frontage on the San Gabriel River, with meandering trails and heritage oaks
  • Amenity centers with resort-style pools
  • Pickleball courts, hiking and biking trails, and a playground
  • Acres of preserved open space inside a 1,500-acre plan
  • Quick access to I-35, SH 29, and 183, with Wolf Ranch shopping a few minutes east
  • Homesites averaging about a sixth of an acre, mostly four-bedroom plans
Who is building

The developer, Blake Magee Company, lists eight builders: Chesmar, Coventry, DRB, Highland, M/I, Perry, Taylor Morrison, and Westin. The ones with live MLS listings today are:

  • Perry Homes42 for sale
  • Coventry Homes15 for sale
  • Highland Homes12 for sale
  • Chesmar Homes6 for sale
  • Taylor Morrison5 for sale

Taylor Morrison is described by the developer as having final opportunities remaining, and DRB and Westin are newer here and were not yet showing active listings in the feed. A builder closing out and two opening up at the same time is usually the best moment to negotiate in a community like this.

Before you tour

Six things to settle first

01

Run the address through both districts before you write an offer

Not the builder's rule, not the listing sheet, not this page. Georgetown ISD and Leander ISD each publish an address lookup, and that is the only answer that binds. Do it for the exact lot, and do it again if you switch lots mid-contract, because two streets here have homes on both sides of the line.

02

Do not assume the builder decides the district

The community's own schools page assigns districts by builder, and the live listings do not line up with it. Perry Homes is selling into both districts right now at close to a 50-50 split. The rule was written for an earlier builder lineup and the community has grown past it.

03

Compare price per square foot, not price

The Leander ISD side looks far more expensive on the headline number, but most of that gap is that those homes are bigger. Per square foot the asking prices across the two sides are within a couple of percent of each other. The premium that has actually been paid shows up in the closed sales, and it is real but much smaller than the sticker suggests.

04

Price the MUD

Parkside on the River is served by its own municipal utility district, and the published combined rate has run near 2.47 percent. That is lower than most Williamson County master plans but well above an in-town address with no district. Pull the current rate for the lot from the Williamson Central Appraisal District.

05

Account for the school tax difference too

The two districts do not tax at the same rate. For 2025 to 2026, Leander ISD adopted $1.0869 per $100 and Georgetown ISD adopted $1.0506. On a $750,000 home that is roughly $270 a year more on the Leander side, small next to the price gap but worth knowing you are paying it.

06

Ask what is finished

This is a 1,500-acre plan being delivered in phases, with more than one amenity center in the programme. Ask which pool is open today, which section your lot is in, and what the schedule is for the rest, in writing.

Builder-paid representation

Get the district for your lot in writing

At Parkside on the River the school district belongs to the homesite, not the builder or the street, and the published shortcuts no longer match the data. Luke Allen checks the exact address against both Georgetown ISD and Leander ISD, tells you what the per-foot difference between the two sides really is, and negotiates in a community carrying double-digit months of supply. He represents you, not the builder, and the builder pays his fee in most cases, disclosed in writing before you tour.

Good to know

Parkside on the River questions, answered

Is Parkside on the River in Leander ISD or Georgetown ISD?
Both. The community spans the boundary, and the split is close to even. As of early October 2026 the live listings show roughly 48 homes zoned to Georgetown ISD (Wolf Ranch Elementary, Tippit Middle, East View High) and roughly 32 zoned to Leander ISD (Parkside Elementary, Stiles Middle, Rouse High). Every one of them has a Georgetown address in the 78628 ZIP code, so the address tells you nothing. The western part of the community is mostly Leander ISD and the eastern part mostly Georgetown ISD, but there are exceptions in both directions, and at least two streets have homes on both sides of the line. Verify the exact address with both districts before you write an offer.
Can I pick my school district by choosing a builder at Parkside on the River?
The community's own schools page says you can, assigning Perry Homes and Taylor Morrison to Georgetown ISD and Coventry, Highland, and M/I to Leander ISD. The live MLS data does not match that. Perry Homes currently has active listings split almost evenly between the two districts, and most of Coventry's active listings are zoned to Georgetown ISD rather than Leander. The likeliest explanation is that the rule was written for an earlier phase and the builders have since expanded into new sections. Either way, choose the lot, not the builder, and confirm the lot with the district.
How much do homes at Parkside on the River cost?
Active listings run from roughly $487,000 to about $1.34 million at a median near $697,000, as of early October 2026. Split by district, the Leander ISD side lists at a median near $750,000 and the Georgetown ISD side near $612,000, but the Leander-side homes are also about 300 square feet larger on average. Per square foot the two sides are within a couple of percent of each other on asking price. Live listings and current prices are on this page.
Is the Leander ISD side of Parkside on the River worth the extra money?
Less than the headline numbers suggest. The $137,000 median gap between the two sides is mostly size, not district: per square foot, asking prices differ by about two percent. Where a premium does show up is in what has actually closed, where the Leander side has sold at roughly $239 per square foot against about $219 on the Georgetown side, which is closer to a nine percent difference. So there is a real premium being paid, it is in the high single digits per foot, and anyone quoting you the $137,000 figure as the price of the district is overstating it by a wide margin.
Does Parkside on the River have a MUD?
Yes. The community is served by its own municipal utility district, Parkside on the River MUD No. 1, with additional districts covering later sections. Published combined tax rates for the community have run near 2.4756 percent for 2025, up slightly from 2.4712 percent the year before. That is on the lower side for a Williamson County master plan, where rates frequently run past 2.6 percent, but meaningfully above an established in-town address. Confirm the current rate for the specific lot with the Williamson Central Appraisal District.
What is the HOA fee at Parkside on the River?
$210 per quarter, which is $840 a year, managed by KiTH Management Services. That is separate from the MUD, which appears on the property tax bill rather than as an association due. Ask for the dues schedule, the budget, and the amenity completion schedule in writing before you go under contract.
Who builds at Parkside on the River?
The developer, Blake Magee Company, lists Chesmar Homes, Coventry Homes, DRB Homes, Highland Homes, M/I Homes, Perry Homes, Taylor Morrison, and Westin Homes. The builders with active MLS listings as of early October 2026 are Perry, Coventry, Highland, Chesmar, and Taylor Morrison, with Taylor Morrison described as having final opportunities remaining. DRB and Westin are newer to the community and were not yet showing active listings in the feed.
Is now a good time to buy at Parkside on the River?
The leverage is with buyers more than at most communities in the metro right now. Closings fell from 19 in May to single digits by late summer, while roughly 80 homes sit on the market. That works out to something on the order of ten to thirteen months of supply, against a metro figure closer to six. More standing inventory and a slower pace is the condition in which builders pay closing costs, buy rates down, and include upgrades. As always on new construction, the concessions are usually worth more than a price cut and are easier for the builder to agree to.
