South River sits in the coastal-canal part of New Port Richey, where a good share of the homes trade on water access rather than square footage. It's a compact pocket with a neighborly feel, close to established communities like Flor-a-mar and Southeast New Port Richey, and an easy reach of Tampa when you need the city — Tampa International is about 47 minutes out.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, patient market. There are just 3 active listings with a median list price of $489,900, and homes here tend to sit — median days on market is running around 100. If you want a waterfront spot, act deliberately: only 4 homes have sold in the past year, so inventory turns slowly and comparable sales are limited. Nearby Beacon Woods Village and Moon Lake Estates are worth watching if you want more options.
South River is a community in New Port Richey, Florida.

South River FAQs
Is South River a good place to live?+
It works well if you want a small, water-oriented New Port Richey neighborhood with quick access to Tampa — the airport is about 47 minutes away. It's compact and low-key rather than amenity-heavy, so it suits buyers who value canal access and a quieter setting over big community facilities. If you want more comparison, look at neighboring Southeast New Port Richey.
Is South River expensive?+
The current median list price is $489,900, with active listings ranging from $260,000 up to $525,000, and pricing runs about $298 per square foot. That said, the median sold price over the past year was $162,250, reflecting a mix of smaller and non-waterfront homes — so what you pay depends heavily on whether you're buying on the water.
What do homes cost in South River?+
Right now the three active listings sit between $260,000 and $525,000, with a median list of $489,900. Median home size is about 1,156 square feet at roughly $298 per foot, and the waterfront listings anchor the top of that range.
How is the market in South River?+
It's slow and thin — just 3 homes are active and only 4 sold in the past 12 months, with a median of about 100 days on market. Sellers are getting around 94% of asking on average, so there's modest room to negotiate if you find the right property.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't currently available for the active listings here, so many homes may carry little or no association fee. Property taxes run higher — the median is about $7,931 per year — so factor that into your monthly budget when comparing homes.
