approximately 15,000 of those residents live in the city of New Port Richey (proper) on the western coast of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico and approximately 5,000 more people live in the surrounding zip codes of New Port Richey which include Gulf Harbors, Green Key, MIllers Bayou and New Port Richey East.
The "Little City by The River" has definitely grown in population and home construction since it's inception when the the entire city was settled basically where main street now sits and west of the Pithlachascotee River and the town was named "Port Richey". When the bridge was built to cross the river and people started settling across the river, the townspeople referred to the new area as "New" Port Richey. The number of wonderful city and county supported parks, beaches and urban development has made New Port Richey and Port Richey a wonderful place to live.
With highly affordable property taxes, theatre and dining
options with a vibrant downtown, New Port Richey is a great city to call home. Just 45 minutes to the Tampa International Airport and near attractions such as Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, Treasure Island, St. Petersburg Beach, Fort Desoto Beach and many more wonderful places to visit in Florida. I am very happy to live where I can enjoy dinner on the river at more than 5 restaurants and get to play on the Gulf of Mexico. Helping people sell and buy their home in New Port Richey is the best career anyone can ask for and I am so happy that I get to be the person who helps you sell or buy your next home in New Port Richey Florida.
