Details matter - distance to runway, lateral offset of parallel ruwnway, etc. Certain airports have closely spaced parallel runways, others don't.

Stabilized requirements drive the lowest acceptable altitude, and distance to the runway, where a runway switch is acceptable.

I'd estimate that 2000', on glide slope, is about the lowest/nearest point to accept a last minute runway change.
