New Port Richey East, FL 200 Apartments for Rent

New Port Richey East is a rural area in west-central Florida with a low cost of living and low crime rate, but within a short drive to Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. Of course, it is also blessed with Florida sunshine all year long.

Moving to New Port Richey East

New Port Richey East, like much of Florida, has grown exponentially since 1970. It might have something to do with the price and availability of home air conditioning! The town's population has experienced quite a growth, multiplying threefold since 1970. Quite an accomplishment for such a teeny, cozy CDP. There are 3.7 square miles, with some small lakes that are great for recreational activities. No swimming, though -- this is Florida, and there are alligators in fresh and brackish water.

With just over 5,000 housing units in the area, there are plenty of New Port Richey East rental houses and condo rentals as well. A large part of the low cost of living in the area is due to inexpensive places to live in, like mobile home parks or a nice apartment to rent. Most apartment complexes and mobile home communities have swimming pools and other recreational activities for their residents.

This area is not as seasonal as other parts of Florida so anytime of year you can find rentals in New Port Richey. You will need all the usual documentation like proof of employment and identification. You can expect to pay the first month's rent and a security deposit to get into most apartment rentals in the area.
