A semi-suburban escape on the Gulf of Mexico
The known history of Tarpon Springs, Florida, only dates back about 150 years, but its marshy coast of Anclote has been known to Caribbean pirates, Spanish Conquistadors and sponge divers since the 16th century. Today, the southwestern-most region of Pasco County remains a quiet, semi-suburban escape still popular with local seafarers, especially anglers, who are reeled in by some of the hottest fishing spots near Clearwater. Though a bit removed from the rest of suburban Clearwater, the remoteness offers a vast expanse of undeveloped park land inscribed with nature trails and bayous that are within a short cast of the area's spacious waterfront estates. “Anclote is not quite close enough to downtown St. Petersburg to head in for a weeknight dinner reservation,” says Helle Hartley, a Realtor at Century 21 Jim White & Associates.

Fishing spots and sunbathing at Anclote River Park
Undisturbed expanses of nature are in no short supply around Anclote. The 101 acres that make up Key Vista Nature Park are filled with dog-friendly hiking trails. The boardwalks these trails lead to traverse rich bayous and creeks, offering a place to photograph egrets and other native wildlife. If looking for leisure, Anclote River Park offers a fishing pier and a 300-foot beach that some locals go to for swimming and sunbathing. The Coastal Anclote Trail links these two parks together, offering a challenging out-and-back running route. Although many homes in Anclote include a private boat slip of their own, plenty of other residents save precious driveway space by renting a slip at the Anclote Village Marina. In fact, its location at the mouth of the Anclote River is one of the region's most active fishing sites because the waters are warmed by a confluence with the Anclote Power Plant's outfall canal.

Waterfront estates and modest ranchers
The mostly unspoiled corner of Tarpon Springs consists of small residential sections to the north and south, buffered in between by a large swathe of park land and the Anclote Power Plant. Throughout both sections, homes tend to be built during or after the 1990s. Modern ranch-styles with multi-car garages are a common architectural design, often priced from $300,000 to $550,000. Further north, spacious two- and three-story homes with gulf views, backyard pools and private boat docks often start close to $1 million and sometimes reach over $2 million. There are also some communities for manufactured homes in the south end of Anclote. Depending on their size, these manufactured homes can sell for $75,000 up to mid-$200,000.

Country line dancing and karaoke Thursdays
Although it might seem all-quiet in Anclote, there's several toe-tapping ways to get out and have fun. Less than a mile south of the Publix on U.S. Highway 19 is The Stockyard, a go-to nightlife spot for country music line dancing. The family-owned diner of Daybreak Cafe is a popular commonplace for live entertainment, such as Thursday night karaoke. Residents of the area also frequently often convene at local parks for outdoor activities, such as fishing expeditions and kayaking groups that put in at Anclote River Park.

Morning mimosas from Daybreak Cafe
Residents living in the northern end of Anclote visit shopping centers along Highway 19 to complete errands or spend an evening away from home. Multiple supermarket chains can be found along the highway, including locations for Publix and Winn-Dixie. Those living in the southern end of Anclote have a longer drive to reach commercial areas on Highway 19, so many choose to stop short at the Marketplace of Tarpon Springs instead. There, locals start the day with a mimosa and plate of eggs benedict from Daybreak Cafe. In the evening, when boaters return to drop anchor at the Anclote Village Marina, the open-air grill at Miss Vicki’s On The River gets busy with orders for cold beers.

Slightly isolated and car-dependent
Because of its location, Anclote is a car-dependent area. There is no public transportation serving the area, and most major roads lack a shoulder for cyclists and pedestrians. Although most residential areas have sidewalks for strolls around the neighborhood, these do not offer connections to places outside of Anclote. However, many residents own boats, which can provide an alternative means of travel up and down the coast.

Things to consider
The Anclote Power Plant is a natural gas-burning facility on an island across the plant's outfall canal. Large plumes of smoke can be seen rising over the neighborhood from the facility's industrial chimneys somewhat frequently. Residents of the area tend to experience noise and air pollution when the facility is running at peak efficiency.
