Port Richey Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
5 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Port Richey is a small Gulf Coast city in Pasco County where the Pithlachascotee River meets the Gulf of Mexico, roughly 34 miles northwest of Tampa. The apartment stock is a mix of older garden-style communities, a couple of canal-front properties, and a newer build-to-rent single-family development, with rents well below Florida's coastal premium markets.
As of mid-2026, typical apartment rents in Port Richey run from around $1,000 for a studio up to roughly $1,900 for a three-bedroom, with most one- and two-bedroom garden apartments landing between $1,200 and $1,700 per month.

Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
