Parkside on the River: Home Sizes Are Shrinking

The median home size sold in Parkside on the River has shrunk to 2,820 square feet, down from 3,002 square feet in the prior six-month period. This shift marks a distinct change in buyer preference within this Georgetown subdivision. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 110 closed sales over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, to track these size trends. The data shows a 6.1% decrease in median living area compared to the previous period and a 1.3% increase compared to the same window last year. While prices have adjusted downward by 9.0%, the reduction in square footage suggests buyers are prioritizing other factors over maximum floor space. This trend toward smaller homes coincides with a faster market pace, where median days on market dropped to 89 days from 132 days previously. The median price per square foot rose slightly to $220.22, indicating that the value of each unit of space remains strong even as total home sizes contract. The shift reflects a broader pattern where new construction and resale inventory are aligning with demand for more efficient layouts. As the market stabilizes, the focus on size rather than sheer volume may continue to define purchasing decisions in this community. Want to see this home?
