New Construction
If you've been dreaming of a home that puts you in the middle of nature without sacrificing modern finishes, Parkside on the River in Georgetown, Texas might be exactly what you've been looking for. This Perry Homes community sits alongside the San Gabriel River, is surrounded by protected oak trees, and offers a level of interior quality that you'd typically associate with a much higher price tag.
The kitchen is the heart of this floor plan, and Perry Homes clearly designed it with that in mind. The centerpiece is a large island with a bar top — the kind of setup that lets you prep a meal and host a conversation at the same time. The extra-wide, deep sink is a practical touch that home cooks will appreciate immediately (yes, full-sized cookie sheets fit). And the five-burner gas stove? Standard across the neighborhood, which says a lot about the baseline quality Perry is delivering here.
Above the cabinetry, glass-front upper cabinets give you a place to display heirloom dishes or anything else worth showing off. It's a small detail that adds warmth and a custom feel to an otherwise streamlined kitchen.
One of the most immediate things you notice in a Perry Home is the windows. They run tall — nearly floor to ceiling in some spaces — and they are generous in number. This isn't accidental. Perry Homes prioritizes natural light in a way that few production builders do at this price point, and the result is a home that feels larger and more open than its square footage might suggest. Even on an overcast day, the light quality inside is soft and inviting.
The kitchen flows directly into the living and dining areas, creating the kind of open-concept space that has staying power in home design. You can be at the stove and still be part of whatever's happening in the living room. It's a practical layout for families and entertainers alike.
The primary bedroom carries the same sense of calm you'd expect from the rest of the home — large windows, plenty of space, and a design that leans into elegance without being overdone. A modern barn door leads into the owner's bathroom, which is where this home really separates itself from the competition.
Inside the bathroom, you'll find a freestanding soaking tub positioned in front of a walk-in shower — a layout that is typically reserved for homes well above the mid-range price point. The mirrors are framed out, the light fixtures are modern, and the hardware throughout is matte black, which is exactly what today's buyers are looking for. Perry paid attention to the details here, and it shows.
Georgetown has a specific stance on development: you work around the trees, not through them. That philosophy is visible throughout Parkside on the River. Mature oak trees line the streets and dot the lots, giving the community a settled, established feel even though the homes are brand new. It's a rare combination — new construction in the middle of a landscape that looks like it's been there for decades.
The community's trails connect directly to the San Gabriel River, which is the kind of amenity that's hard to put a dollar value on. After a long day, having a trail that leads to a river just outside your door is genuinely something special.
Parkside on the River is a master-planned community, so beyond the natural surroundings, the infrastructure is being built out to include:
It hits the marks of a traditional master-planned community while layering in the river access and preserved landscape that make it feel different.
This is a notable point for families: Parkside on the River feeds into two highly regarded school districts — Georgetown ISD and Leander ISD. Both districts have strong reputations and are frequently cited by relocating families as a primary reason for choosing this part of the Austin metro. Whether you have school-age kids now or are planning ahead, this is a meaningful advantage.
The community offers a range of home sizes, which makes it genuinely flexible:
Whether you're relocating with a growing family or moving closer to grandkids and want something manageable, there's a floor plan here worth considering.
Georgetown sometimes gets overlooked in favor of closer-in suburbs, but the location math works well here. Parkside on the River sits on Leander Road and offers easy access to:
For anyone commuting to the Domain or working in North Austin, this location is practical without requiring a lifestyle sacrifice. And with continued development in the area, getting in now means watching the surrounding infrastructure grow around you.
What makes this community compelling is the combination of things that don't usually show up together at the same price point: Perry Homes build quality with luxury-adjacent finishes, a riverside setting with preserved oak canopy, dual top-tier school districts, and proximity to major Austin commuter corridors. For buyers who want to feel like they're living well without overextending financially, Parkside on the River is a serious contender.
