Help 🫠👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻Need some advice on neighborhoods and current areas to buy a home in Pasco. I mainly want to come to the area for boating and beach life. Mainly anclote island.
I grew up in Pasco but I’ve been gone for 25 years, I don’t know the current standing of the communities there. I’d love some advice on where to look for a home?
👉🏼With rising home pricing my budget isn’t super high. Around 300-350k. I want to stay close to the boat Ramps if possible for boating (Cotee river or Anclote) but from what I’m hearing it’s very drug populated, crime is high and there are lot of homeless. I’m also debating a home on the Anclote river in holiday(in our price range), but I’m not sure if the convenience of boating is worth the crime/rundown area concerns.
👉🏼Everyone is saying trinity but many communities are HOA. I don’t want an HOA. Can anyone direct me to some neighborhood pockets or names of neighborhoods that are nicer/safer but along what we want??? I’ve asked around but get mixed info.
👉🏼Also, if it’s near a private school that would be ideal.
👉🏼looking for a realtor who has been in area for a long time and is well versed in Pasco communities. Recommendations would be appreciated. ☺️

Hi guys. So we’re moving to Florida and saw potential in New Port Richey. We’re looking for honest opinions about the Moon Lake / 34654 area. We saw a lot of newer construction homes popping up there and curious what people who actually live nearby think about the area.I’ve seen very mixed opinions online(mostly bad and some good)so I’d love to know a realistic pov from those who live there. Is this area racist like they say? Is it really the worst in Florida? We just want to know before hand because the house pricing isn’t so bad. Thank you!

For those that use Waze, can we stop reporting police presence on 54 right next to the Walmart at Little? Maybe not everybody’s aware, but the rich lady that lives in that house literally bankrolls a shift so that on duty deputies will sit outside of her home. It’s not a speed trap, they’re literally there on her dime as security for her mansion. I laugh every time Waze notifies me police reported ahead when I’m driving that area.

Pretty self explanatory as the title says-I’m a bride getting married this October (yay!) and my parents live in New Port Richey and are holding onto my dress for me. Looking for some reccomendations for tailors in the area!

Thanks in advance!

Since my last post didn't go anywhere now wondering if anybody has a cheap place to rent And I mean really cheap I'm homeless in a tent at the moment It's getting way too hot to continue every single day I'm getting heat sickness and my boyfriend has seizures that can be triggered by extreme heat, me and my boyfriend make about 1500 together every 2 weeks And it's just not enough to be able to rent a place, pay all the utilities and eat.

We don't have the best of credit and that's only because of medical debt. We haven't even been given a chance to start our adult life yet oh me and him have ever known is struggle starving and homelessnes

Hey everyone,

I recently went pretty deep on property data around 321K+ properties across 28+ years of transactions. Everyone calls these areas huge growth markets but once you actually sit with the full history, it feels a lot more complicated.

A few patterns that stood out to me:

• Flipping has gotten way faster. Average hold time used to be around 7 years. Now it’s dropped to under 2.5 years in recent years.
• A lot of absentee owners. About 38% of non-homestead properties are owned by people with out-of-state addresses, mostly NY, NJ, Ohio, and Michigan.
• Big maintenance wave coming. Over 40% of homes were built between the late 70s and early 2000s — so thousands of roofs, AC units, and major repairs are due right as insurance costs keep climbing.
• Some spots look weird. In a few new-construction areas, homes are being transferred back to builder LLCs within 18 months, often at 2-3x the original price.

I’m still processing a lot of it, but it definitely doesn’t match the simple “buy and watch it go up” narrative you see constantly.

Curious where you guys are at with this.

If you own property here, invest here, or have been watching the market ... what are you actually seeing on the ground?

Does the fast flipping, out-of-state owners, or insurance stress match your experience?

Or do you think the data is missing something important?

Would love to hear real takes from locals and people around here....
