Overview of Parkside Towns
Parkside Towns is a townhome-style rental community located at 2230 Hibiscus Ave, Richardson, TX 75080, USA, within the Dallas metropolitan area. The property offers two‑bedroom and three‑bedroom units, described as apartments but laid out as townhomes. Monthly rents range from $2,375 to $3,025, with a deposit of $375. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator. The shortest lease term available is nine months, and units are available from 7 June 2026. Amenities include a fitness center, laundry facility, and swimming pool. On Google, the property holds a 4.7‑star rating from 91 reviews.
Who This Residence Suits
Parkside Towns works well for tenants who value a strong sense of community and attentive management. The reviews repeatedly mention a kind, welcoming atmosphere and responsive maintenance. For example, Madeline Foster, a five‑year resident, wrote: “The management team here are extremely kind, and the maintenance staff is very quick to get issues fixed.” This suggests the property is suitable for people who prefer a landlord‑operated complex where issues are addressed promptly.
The townhome layout also suits groups or small families. Three‑bedroom and two‑bedroom units can accommodate roommates sharing costs, or a household with children. Because the minimum lease is nine months, it works for students on an academic calendar or professionals with a temporary assignment in the Dallas area. The location in Richardson places it near major employers in the Telecom Corridor and within commuting distance of downtown Dallas.
The property’s amenities — fitness center, pool, laundry — appeal to residents who want on‑site recreation and convenience without a car‑dependent trip to a gym.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Parkside Towns is not ideal for budget‑conscious solo renters. The cheapest available unit starts at $2,375 per month (indicative), which is significantly above the city’s from‑price of $650 per month (likely a room in a shared apartment or a studio). If you are a single person seeking an affordable one‑bedroom or studio, you will find lower‑cost options elsewhere in Dallas.
The property does not appear to offer short‑term leases under nine months. If you need a lease of three to six months, this residence probably will not work. Also, if you prefer a high‑rise with a concierge or a walkable urban core, Richardson’s suburban feel may not suit you. Parkside is in a residential area near Hibiscus Ave, not in the dense downtown part of Dallas.
Finally, if you dislike community events or close interaction with management, the property’s emphasis on community events (mentioned by Ash Kim: “There are a lot of fun community events”) might feel intrusive.
What Residents Actually Say
Direct quotes from Google reviews give a clear picture of living at Parkside Towns.
Dheandra Nicolette, rating 5 stars, wrote: “My last day at Parkside will be on Sunday and it sounds dramatic but I’ll be mourning. Due to a set of unforeseen circumstances (you plan, God laughs, they say) I’ll be moving back to Boston for a little bit. That being said, I leave Parkside and Richardson knowing that my time here has been absolutely wonderful! Susan”
Madeline Foster, rating 5 stars, wrote: “This is the best place I have ever rented in my life! I only had to leave due to my job, but I have nothing but good things to say. The management team here are extremely kind, and the maintenance staff is very quick to get issues fixed. I was here for around 5 years, and will miss this place dearly.”
Ash Kim, rating 5 stars, wrote: “WONDERFUL place to live! Everyone is so kind and welcoming, and the community feels safe. There are a lot of fun community events, and the townhomes are spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend, 5/5 stars”
All three reviews highlight the positive management and sense of safety. No negative reviews were provided in the data, so we cannot report complaints on noise, pests, or maintenance delays — but the overall Google rating of 4.7 from 91 reviews indicates high satisfaction.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From‑Price
The Dallas rental market has a wide range. The city’s from‑price (lowest listed rent among all properties on the platform) is $650 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). That likely represents a single room in a shared apartment or a very small studio in a less central area. Parkside Towns’ starting rent of $2,375 is about 3.7 times that bottom figure.
However, context matters. The $2,375–$3,025 range is for an entire townhome with two or three bedrooms. If you split the cost among two or three roommates, the per‑person rent falls to roughly $792–$1,188 per month, which is competitive with mid‑range shared apartments in Dallas. For a household of three sharing a $3,025 unit, each person pays about $1,008 — still above the city from‑price but reasonable for a townhome with amenities.
If you are a solo renter, you will be paying the whole rent yourself, so Parkside Towns is a premium choice. It sits above the typical one‑bedroom rent in Dallas, which averages around $1,300–$1,500 per month (market data not provided; only the platform’s from‑price of $650). Therefore, solo tenants should only consider this property if budget is not a primary concern.
Room‑Type Guidance
The available unit types are “3b”, “2b”, and “apartment” (likely meaning the townhome style is treated as an apartment unit). The exact floor plans are not listed in the data, but based on typical townhome configurations:
- Two‑bedroom units suit two roommates or a small family. Rent at the lower end of the range ($2,375) would give each roommate ~$1,188.
- Three‑bedroom units are best for three sharers or a larger family. At the upper end ($3,025), each pays ~$1,008, which is actually lower per person than the two‑bedroom option.
If you are a group, the three‑bedroom provides better value per head. Singles or couples without children will likely prefer the two‑bedroom.
All units include in‑unit laundry facility (mentioned in tags). The property also has a swimming pool and fitness center, so you save on gym membership and laundry costs.
Booking Timing
Availability starts from 7 June 2026. Given the property’s popularity (4.7 stars, 91 reviews, high praise), it is likely to lease quickly for the June move‑in. For students, the academic year typically starts in August or September, so June availability allows early move‑in for summer terms or settling in before fall classes.
The minimum lease is nine months, which means a lease starting June 2026 would end March 2027 — perfect for a full academic year if your program runs through spring. If you need a lease starting later in 2026 or early 2027, you should check live availability on the platform. The operator may offer different start dates, but the data only shows 7 June 2026 as the earliest.
It is advisable to inquire as early as possible, ideally in early 2026, to secure a unit. The property does not appear to have multiple buildings with huge inventory (only 12 properties total in Dallas on the platform, and Parkside Towns is one), so units may be limited.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the lease terms and deposit?
The minimum lease term is nine months. The deposit is $375 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Longer leases may be possible, but the data only specifies the minimum. You should confirm exact options with the property management.
Are utilities included in the rent?
The provided data does not specify whether utilities (electricity, water, internet) are included. Quotes from reviews do not mention utility costs. You should ask the operator directly. Typically, townhome rentals in Dallas require tenants to pay their own utilities.
Is parking available?
The data includes no mention of parking. Given the suburban location in Richardson, it is very likely that parking (driveway or garage) is provided. However, you should verify the number of parking spaces, any additional fees, and whether guest parking is available.
