About Parkside on the River
Parkside on the River is Taylor Morrison's showcase Georgetown community, positioned along the San Gabriel River with a Hill Country character that sets it apart from the flat suburban subdivisions nearby. Liberty Hill ISD zoning is a significant draw — Liberty Hill has been one of the fastest-improving districts in the region. Taylor Morrison brings polished finishes and a design center experience that's a step above many production builders at this price. Georgetown itself is a sweet spot right now: lower land costs than Leander, strong job growth from the semiconductor corridor, and a historic downtown square that gives it genuine character.

- · Some homesites lack river views despite the community's name — ask for a site map

Buying in Georgetown
- County
- Williamson County
- Commute
- Downtown Austin is roughly 30 miles south, about 35 to 45 minutes off-peak and 45 to 75 minutes in weekday rush hour on I-35. Most Georgetown buyers do not commute downtown. They work the north tech corridor, which makes the real commute 20 to 35 minutes. Toll 130 is the common bypass when I-35 is bad, and the multi-year I-35 Capital Express construction through central Austin is expected to affect the corridor for several more years.
- MUD and PID taxes
- Most new-construction communities in and around Georgetown sit inside a Municipal Utility District or Public Improvement District. These add roughly 0.5 to 1.0 percent to the property tax rate and can push the effective rate above 2.5 percent in newer sections. MUD rates fall over time as the district pays down its infrastructure debt, but the first years are the highest. The rate varies by community and by phase within the same community.
On your side of the table
What I watch for at a Georgetown community
- Get the combined MUD and PID rate for the exact section in writing. Georgetown rates vary widely between Wolf Ranch, Parkside on the River, and Parmer Ranch, and between phases inside the same community.
- Budget from the finished improved value plus the special district, not the low first-year bill on an unimproved Williamson County lot. That first bill is the single most common budgeting mistake here.
- Confirm the ISD for the specific address, not the city. Georgetown-area and ETJ lots can land in Liberty Hill, Leander, Jarrell, or Round Rock ISD rather than Georgetown ISD.
- Register your agent before the first model visit. On-site agents at Sun City and Wolf Ranch work for the builder, and buydowns and lot premiums are negotiable.
- In the fast-selling north Georgetown phases, weigh lot premiums and design-center minimums, which can add tens of thousands over the advertised base price.
- Ask where your phase sits in the buildout. Far-north Georgetown sections can border active construction for years after you move in.
Negotiating with Taylor Morrison here
Design-center allowances, closing-cost credits through the in-house lender, and extended rate locks on to-be-built homes.
- Separate the three negotiations: base price, lot premium, and design-center allowance. Builders concede on different ones at different times, and bundling them costs you money.
- Ask for a design-center allowance rather than a price cut. It is often easier for them to approve and it is worth more to you if you were going to spend it anyway.
- Before the design appointment, price the option list against what a contractor would charge after closing. Structural items are worth paying for up front. Many finishes are not.
- On a long build, negotiate who absorbs a rate move. Extended locks and float-downs are part of the package, not a favour.
