South River sits in the western reaches of New Port Richey, a pocket of Pasco County where canals and the Gulf coast define the pace of life. It's a compact, water-oriented community — two of the three homes on the market right now are waterfront — with easy access to nearby neighborhoods like Flor-a-mar and Southeast New Port Richey. If you want quiet residential streets without giving up a boat-friendly setup, this is the kind of place worth a closer look.
The market here is genuinely small, which shapes how you should approach it. With just three active listings and five sales in the past year, inventory moves in single digits, so the right home doesn't come along often. Active list prices run to a median of $499,900, but the handful of recent closings landed much lower — a reminder to read each property on its own terms rather than the headline number. Neighboring options like Moon Lake Estates and Beacon Woods Village are worth watching alongside it.
South River is a community in New Port Richey, Florida.

South River FAQs
Is South River a good place to live?+
It's a small, water-oriented neighborhood in western New Port Richey that suits buyers who value quiet streets and boat access over a big commercial scene. With most listings on the water and easy reach to nearby communities like Southeast New Port Richey, it appeals to people who want the Gulf-side lifestyle in a compact setting. Just know that inventory is limited, so it rewards buyers who are ready to move.
Is South River expensive?+
Active listings carry a median list price of $499,900, ranging from $295,000 to $525,000, with an average of about $310 per square foot. That said, the five homes sold in the past year closed at a median of just $115,000, so pricing varies widely depending on the property and its condition. Reading each home individually matters far more here than any single average.
What do homes cost in South River?+
Current listings run from $295,000 to $525,000 with a median around $499,900, and homes average roughly $310 per square foot on a median size of about 1,156 square feet. Sellers have been getting about 95% of their asking price on average. With only three homes active, expect the specific mix on the market to shift quickly.
How is the market in South River?+
It's a low-volume market — three active listings and five sales over the past 12 months — with homes taking a median of 57 days to sell. Sellers average about 95% of asking, which points to reasonable but not frantic conditions. Because so few homes trade here, working with an agent who tracks nearby New Port Richey inventory helps you catch the right listing early.
What about HOA fees and property taxes in South River?+
There's no median HOA figure on record for the active listings, so carrying costs are driven largely by taxes. The median annual property tax runs about $7,931, which is a meaningful line item to budget for. Always confirm the exact tax and any HOA obligations on the specific home you're considering, since they vary property to property.
