Tarpon River, Picturesque and Eclectic...
Tarpon
River is an eclectic neighborhood located on waterfront property.
It combines one-third mid-rise (up to five stories) condominiums,
one high-rise condominium, and one-third private homes. Browse Listings
The neighborhood -oriented area is transitioning
from private homes to three-story duplexes. Homes have increased
in value and currently asking prices start at about $300,000.
According to Reid Morgan, President/Council
of Civic Associations, “Many older homes built in the ‘40s
and ‘50s –which are in the majority- are being brought
up to code.”
Gardens are kept in prime condition. Hundreds
of flowering trees have recently been planted by the Beautification
Committee.
Tarpon River is an ideal location for those
who work and play in the downtown area and it is an ideal walking
and bike riding community. Picturesque River Walk, on the New
River, is within walking distance of Tarpon River. There are restaurants
and a very modern Publix Market with undercover parking.

In years past the neighborhood was basically
inhabited by DINKS (Double Income, No Kids), but those coming
into the area more recently are families with children. There
is bussing to nearby schools. Nearby Hardy Park has been upgraded
from a four acre park into nine acres. Several houses of worship
are located in and around Tarpon River.
