Elfers is a Pasco County community with changing demographics and easy access to several cities
Sitting between several cities, the census-designated place of Elfers is an attractive option for residents of all kinds. Once known for its retirement communities, the area is becoming more diverse. “It’s a family-friendly neighborhood, but more young people have started to move that way,” says Cory Byrd, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker F.I. Grey & Son Residential Inc. Elfers’ location near Tarpon Springs and New Port Richey provides easy opportunities for entertainment, and day trips to larger cities like Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg are also possible. The area wants to take advantage of its changing demographics and add amenities that keep people close to home. The residential Pasco County community of about 17,000 sees some people work in the retail trade and healthcare fields, though most commute to one of Elfers’ neighboring cities.

Ranch-style homes and condos for below-median prices
Ranch-style homes are prominent throughout the community, with condos and manufactured houses also available. The median price is around $230,000, well below the state and national median. In neighboring Anclote River Acres sit older ranch-style houses and mobile homes. To the west, Beacon Square has Mediterranean-influenced properties and waterfront contemporary homes.

Access to neighboring cities, a local hospital and an airport
U.S. Route 19 runs west of the community. Elfers is less than 3 miles south of New Port Richey and around 10 miles north of Tarpon Springs. Clearwater is close to a 20-mile drive, while Tampa and St. Petersburg are nearly 35 miles away. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport has flights to several U.S. destinations. Pasco County Public Transportation, or PCPT, offers a bus service connecting Elfers with other parts of the area. HCA Florida Trinity Hospital, less than 10 miles east, has more than 250 beds and Pasco County’s only Level II neonatal intensive care unit.
The Pasco County School District earns a high grade
Students are served by the Pasco County School District, which has a B-plus Niche grade. The district serves nearly 85,000 students across more than 100 schools. Genesis Preparatory School, in New Port Richey, has an A-plus grade.
Gulf High School is a quality school with a rich history in New Port Richey.

Shopping centers with chain restaurants and close-by stores like Bealls
Elfers has multiple shopping centers with dining options and name-brand stores. While chain restaurants are found all over, there are also local joints like Madison Restaurant, which has served American and Greek fare for more for than a decade. Big-box stores like Bealls can be found just outside of the community. “There’s so much growth, it’s just booming,” Byrd says. “The city itself is putting money into getting more businesses out there, but it’s still quiet and spread out compared to Tampa and Clearwater.”
Frankie's Raw Bar is all open dining and a relaxed atmosphere in Elfers.

Live music, museums and theaters are nearby
Residents will have to venture outside Elfers for most cultural experiences, though some local restaurants provide entertainment; Frankie's Raw Bar hosts live music on Thursday nights. In Tarpon Springs, the Safford House Museum is a restored Victorian mansion from the late 1800s, and the Replay Museum is filled with old-school arcade games and pinball machines, more than 100 of which are available to play. First Friday events are held in downtown Tarpon Springs monthly and bring out art and food vendors.
In New Port Richey, the Richey Suncoast Theatre has hosted plays and other live productions since 1972, though it opened as a silent film movie theater in 1926. It is alleged by some to be haunted, and ghost tours often make their way through its red seats. Chasco Fiesta is a multi-day New Port Richey festival that celebrates the region’s Native American tribes and its love of music. It has been held for more than 100 years.

Play sports at Beacon Square Park and hit the water at Eagle Point Park
As Elfers is primarily residential, there are few green spaces within the community. The Anclote River flows between Elfers and Anclote River Acres and has designated swimming and fishing spots. Beacon Square Park has a basketball court and a playground, while Eagle Point Park provides boat ramps onto Trouble Creek. Just 10% of residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park, well below the urban U.S. median.
Elfers is that hidden gem that has more surprises for it's residents, like a swim in the river.
At the Drunk'n Monkey bar in Elfers you can find a game of pool and a cold beer.
