Ridgewood High School

It's a practical, family-friendly part of Port Richey with a mix of affordable single-family homes and easy access to Gulf-side living. The area feeds into neighborhood schools like Bayonet Point Middle School, which keeps commutes short and the community feel strong. With 486 homes sold in the past year, it's an established, active market.

Not by Florida coastal standards — the median list price is $265,450 and active listings run from $84,900 up to $1,050,000. At an average of $195 per square foot on a median home size of 1,388 square feet, this is one of the more attainable areas in the region.

The median sold price over the last 12 months was $247,000, close to the current median list price of $265,450. There's genuine range too, with entry-level homes under $85,000 and a single listing above $1 million, so buyers at different budgets can find a fit.

It's balanced and steady. There are 156 active listings, homes take a median of 36 days to sell, and sellers are getting about 98% of their asking price — meaning well-priced homes move while buyers still have room to negotiate.

Many homes here carry no HOA at all, and among those that do the median fee is $390 per month. Property taxes are reasonable, with a median around $2,723 per year, and typical rents run about $1,695 per month if you're weighing buying against renting.
