Homes on the waterfront
Port Richey homes range in price from $190,000 to $1.5 million for a waterfront mansion. Architectural styles comprise ranch-style, stilt and contemporary, as well as townhomes, condos and mobile homes. Many properties come with inground pools and views of the canal and bayou. “As far as houses are concerned, the square footage is great,” Biswas says. “And the market is not slowing down.” Narrow palm tree-lined streets without sidewalks wind throughout the community. Waterfront homes have views of the bayou.
