The Lakes sits in the residential heart of Port Richey, a west Pasco community of single-family neighborhoods where established streets and mature landscaping set the tone. You're a short drive from the Gulf and surrounded by familiar names like Timber Oaks, Regency Park, Embassy Hills, and Jasmine Lakes — the kind of area where daily errands are close and Tampa is reachable when you need it, about 41 minutes to TPA and 50 to downtown.
For buyers, the math here is friendly. With 16 active listings and a median list price of $260,500, this is one of the more attainable pockets of the Tampa Bay area, and homes are moving at a median of 36 days on market. Sellers are getting about 98% of asking, so there's room to negotiate but no reason to lowball — check the live map to see what's currently available.
The Lakes is a community in Port Richey, Florida.

Everyday amenities are close and the streets have a settled, residential feel.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Not by Tampa Bay standards — the median list price is $260,500 and active homes run from about $199,995 to $379,900.

How is the market right now?+
There are 16 active listings and 55 homes have sold in the past year, so inventory is tight but turning over. Homes go under contract at a median of 36 days, and sellers are averaging 98% of their asking price. That points to a steady, balanced market where well-priced homes move.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Property taxes run a median of about $2,502 per year, which is manageable for the price point. HOA data isn't consistently reported for this area, so fees vary by the specific community and should be confirmed per listing. If you'd rather rent first, the median rent is around $1,695 per month.
