My take on Hillside on Parmer Lane
On the far eastern stretch of Parmer Lane, a few minutes from SH 130, Hillside on Parmer Lane spreads 300 homes across 17 buildings of two to four stories on about 22 acres. It opened in 2025 and is in lease-up. The site is the draw: two pools, multiple dog parks, a climate-controlled pet spa and a media room. Select homes have private fenced backyards and attached or detached garages, which you rarely get at this price. Homes list granite counters, an in-unit washer and dryer and walk-in closets. Early marketing mentioned wood-burning fireplaces, which needs confirming.
The official site blocks automated lookups, so these rents come from ApartmentList and are quoted on a 6-month term, which usually prices higher than 12. One-bedrooms start at $1,385, two-bedrooms at $1,675 and three-bedrooms at $2,200. Apply the day you tour and you get up to 10 weeks free, a $500 gift card, no admin fee and no deposit with approved credit. On a 12-month lease the $1,385 one-bedroom would net about $1,119. Then add $88.41 a month in required fees, which are not itemized. Garage pricing is not published.
Samsung's campus is about 6 minutes away, Pioneer Farms about 9 and the Domain about 18. Every errand is a drive. Tip: ask for 12-month pricing on the exact unit, since the 6-month quote may overstate it.
- Worth a look if
- you want a large new garden community with two pools, fenced yards or a garage on select homes, and strong move-in savings near the East Parmer / SH 130 corridor
- Look elsewhere if
- you want walkability, transit, or a shorter drive to central Austin
- The catch
- It sits on the far eastern stretch of Parmer Lane, so nearly every errand and commute is a drive, and about $88/mo in required fees is added on top of base rent (itemization not published).
