New Port Richey suburb with single-family homes and 55-plus apartments
Thirty-three miles northwest of Tampa, Hunters Ridge is a New Port Richey suburb with single-family homes, 55-plus apartments and shared amenities. “It’s just a nice, family-friendly community,” says Kari Hazeltine, a Realtor with 54 Realty and lifelong Florida resident. “There’s the little things here that I find buyers are asking for—wide roads, mature trees, low HOA.” Shopping and dining are nearby along Little Road, and Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park is about 2 miles away. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. “It’s great for families with access to so many of the family-oriented things that children will love,” Hazeltine says.

Ranch-style homes lined with palm trees
Set along sidewalk-lined streets peppered with palm trees, Hunters Ridge’s late 20th-century homes are typically contemporary ranch-style shaded in coastal colors; some are Mediterranean-inspired with arched entryways and decorative windows. “They’re pretty standard three- and four-bedroom homes—some with pools, some without,” Hazeltine says. “Nice, spacious lots—not super close together like newer communities these days.” Common features include attached garages, covered patios or porches and traditional mailboxes dotted along freshly mowed lawns. There are also a handful of 55-plus apartments and villas for rent.
Monthly homeowners association fees are about $20, which go toward community upkeep. “They have a clubhouse with a pool and tennis courts, but the HOA fee that includes the amenities is optional,” Hazeltine says. Prices range from about $325,000 to $550,000, depending on a home’s size and features.
Hunters Ridge residents take pride in a well maintained yard.
There is some mediterranean style influence found in other homes in Hunters Ridge.

Trees and trails at Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park
Right in the neighborhood, there are shared amenities like the community pool, tennis courts and a clubhouse where folks relax with card and tabletop games. About 2 miles away, Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park is an 8,000-acre expanse of mature pine and cypress trees, grassy fields and dirt-packed nature trails, including access to the 47-mile Pinellas Trail. “The trail is very popular for biking, walking and running and it's a selling feature to be close to it,” Hazeltine says. Along the park’s trails, birders can be on the lookout for tree swallows, American robins and even wild turkeys. There are also playgrounds, campgrounds and sports like volleyball and horseshoe. For a day on the water, Eagle Point Park is 5 miles away with a boat launch and fishing waters stocked with largemouth bass.

Environmental concerns and flood insurance
“There are a couple of streets that are close to ponds and require flood insurance, but most of the community is not flood-prone,” Hazeltine says. In 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton impacted New Port Richey, and many local businesses were closed for weeks or months while the community recovered. “Churches, businesses and our people came together to help anyone who did suffer damages,” Hazeltine says. “It was a little scary, and I know there was flooding in some areas, but there wasn’t in Hunters Ridge.”
