Palm Harbor Florida Homes
Contact Rigler Realtyto sell your home in Palm Harbor.
Palm Harbor in Pinellas County, Florida, sits between the bustling metropolis of Clearwater and the sleepy harbor town of Tarpon Springs. Bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the beautiful Lake Tarpon to the northeast, this is a town defined by water. It is also a town that has a near-perfect climate with January temperatures averaging over 60 degrees and 74 degrees for the year.
It has a friendly, small town atmosphere, but is just 20 miles northwest of Tampa, the region’s commercial and cultural center. This gives Palm Harbor all the advantages and conveniences of a big city, without the crowds or the cost.
This charming community has large shopping plazas, as well as fashionable boutiques and gourmet restaurants. Sailing, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving and swimming are all a part of everyday life in Palm Harbor.

You can enjoy a small town setting, have easy access to many of Florida’s most popular family attractions and yet be within an easy commute to the services and career opportunities of three of Florida’s largest cities----Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.
Tampa is a city with a low unemployment rate, wonderful amenities, hospitals, universities and sporting teams. Tampa is home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the leading teams in the National Football League. And did you know that Tampa Bay was the first region to host teams for major league baseball spring training? The Philadelphia Phillies train in Tampa/Clearwater and the New York Yankees get their kinks out over in Legends Field in Tampa. The Toronto Blue Jays put wood to leather every spring in nearby Dunedin and our own Tampa Bay Devil Rays bat-em-up over at the Al Lane Field in St. Petersburg.
Clearwater, the Pinellas County seat of government, is the gateway to the world-famous Gulf of Mexico barrier island beaches, and a major employer in the region. Pinellas County, a short drive from Palm Harbor, is the second largest manufacturer of electronic goods in the country and the leading center for medical instrumentation, innovation and manufacture in the Gulf Coast to the Space Coast high-tech corridor.
And St. Petersburg is a city with 361 days of sunshine a year and an average temperature of 73 degrees throughout the year. A city surrounded by bays, lakes, and the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, which has one of the lowest unemployment rates, at 2.8 percent, in the country.
