About Parkside
Parkside is a roughly 250-home Mason community built out by Drees Homes and Zaring Homes in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with almost entirely two-story, brick/stone homes on full basements. Its shared amenities are more substantial than most comparably sized Mason subdivisions — a pool, a 5-acre play area, walking trails, and a clubhouse, all managed by the Parkside Homeowners Association (Towne Properties). The neighborhood is entered via Hickory Woods Drive from Bethany Road or Mason-Montgomery Road, in the Mason City School District.
