Cotee River Elementary School

It's a grounded, mid-market New Port Richey community with established feeder schools including Seven Springs Middle School and Gulf High School. You get river-close Pasco County living with Tampa about 45 minutes away, which appeals to buyers who want affordability without cutting themselves off from the metro.

No — this is one of the more affordable corners of the Tampa Bay area, with a $240,000 median list price and an average of $184 per square foot. Listings start around $95,000 and top out near $522,000, so there's a real range from starter homes to larger properties.

The median list price is $240,000 across 61 active listings, and homes sold over the last 12 months came in at a $245,490 median. The typical home is about 1,334 square feet, which tells you this is a market of practical, right-sized houses rather than sprawling estates.

Balanced and active — 249 homes sold in the past year, with a median of 34 days on market and sellers collecting about 97% of asking on average. That combination means you can negotiate without expecting deep discounts.

The median HOA runs about $299 a month, though that only applies where an association exists — many homes here carry no HOA at all. Property taxes are modest for the area at a median of $2,393 per year, and median rent sits around $1,545 a month if you're weighing renting against buying.
