Homeowners enjoy nearby rivers, Gulf of Mexico and a smalltown Main Street
Close to a walkable Main Street lined with local shops and restaurants, New Port Richey East locals bask in year-long warm weather. After all, they live in the rural palm-tree-shaded suburbs of The Sunshine City. The Pithlachascotee River, known as the Cottee River, flows through the town, while nearby beaches and marinas on the Gulf of Mexico sit west for an active waterside lifestyle. In the 1920s, there were hopes that actors, writers and star athletes would spend their winters here. Silent movie star Thomas Meighan even had Richey Suncoast Theatre built in his honor. It wasn't until 1930 that the theatre introduced sound.
The Cotee river in New Port Richey East is lined with homes and docks and leads to the Gulf.

Cimmunity has long been known as a river city by the coast
The expansive Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park frames the right side of the neighborhood. Along the Cotee River are two frequented parks. "It's right off the Gulf of Mexico, and there's a beautiful river that runs through the city. The parks are full of water activities," Pobst says. Sims Park, initially named Enchantment Park, is central to downtown and next to the Main Street business district. The compact park has a splash pad for children, boat launches onto the river and an amphitheater that often hosts concerts. At Cotee River Park, locals take strolls on a paved path next to the water and gather for picnics in the gazebo, where they can watch boats pass by. The park also has docks for launching kayaks and canoes. Residents can drive to beaches and marinas on the Gulf of Mexico. At Robert K Rees Memorial Park, a boardwalk path cuts through mangrove trees and wetlands to reach a shallow beach. New Port Richey Recreation and Aquatic Center has a pool with a waterslide, pickleball courts and a weight room for indoor and outdoor activities.
