I went to the Gulf Harbour office today. I needed to get a new license plate. When I got there, I…read morerealized I've forgotten my screwdriver, so I asked the young couple pulling out of the space next to me if I could borrow a screwdriver. The husband was very kind and he found a tool and he removed it myself. Then I went inside, and Haley is the person who helped me. She was wonderful, knowledgeable, explained everything thoroughly. She was kind and patient. After she processed everything and gave me my new license plate, I asked if I could borrow a screwdriver to attach the plate to my car. She had a gentleman who works in the office following me out to my car and he put my license plate on for me. Now that is what I call Service!

Such an adorable, historical, little florida town…read more This was the Hollywood of the East. So if you were a hollywood starlet... you probably hung out along the coastal waters and beaches of New Port Richey. You have stilt houses here. Fish camps. There is the famous Hacienda Hotel, which has been recently renovated and is now a very popular choice for a hotel. There is this guy named Thomas Meighan and golf legend Gene Sarazen... its a really sleepy place with an undercurrent of excitement. I actually see young people. Its not all seniors. People are finding it to be a cheaper alternative to live versus other areas in Florida. HURRICANES Hurricanes have hit this area HARD. VERY HARD. At first you don't see the damages ... but then... when you wander around a bit... you start to open your eyes.. and you see more... many areas still need recovery and renovation. Many homes were destroyed. The destroyed remains are not visible...just what is left...maybe a blank space or an unfinished piece of construction. There was Helene (2024), Milton (2024), Hurricane Easy, Hurricane Gladys, Hurricane Elena, Hurricane Jeanne, Debby, Hurricane Hermine, Hurricane Irma, Eta, Elsa, Hurricane Idalia... I was looking at places to buy, real estate.... its a goldmine here... lots and lots of fantastic opportunities.. Its a gold rush for investors. If I had a good construction team of workers (that I trusted), I would consider renovating some of these places here. Of course... insurance is another issue... haven't figured that out yet. But if you have a stomach for getting hit with hurricanes every few years over here in the gulf coast area... than this would be a good fit. The prices for homes and condos are at rock bottom prices... scoop them up while you can !

The preservation of downtown and adding the beautiful artistic touches of murals, art and landscaping that added to the charm. The huge remake of Sims Park changed the way you visit downtown. You want to take the kids to the playground even more, walk the circle around the pond- they just completed mirrored boardwalk/piers on either side of the pond and it looks amazing- or walk along the riverbank! New Port Richey holds numerous events downtown throughout the year- Bikefest drives in great revenue, Chasco Fiesta is fun for everyone, I loved the seafood festival every year too! They have worked to clean up the area downtown and create a safe and fun environment. Several places to eat and drink, including a newer brewery right in middle of downtown! There is also much more history here than many realize- a destination spot for famous actors and actresses in the 40's. Oh- and the mayor is great! He is invested in the city and has made amazing strides in the community.
