Crystal River moves to give up boat ramp to complete Kings Bay Riverwalk
At a workshop, Crystal River council reached consensus to bring back a revised agreement with High Sodium Holdings, owner of the former Pete's Pier dockside shops. The deal would let the city finish a continuous Riverwalk along Kings Bay to Pete's Pier by giving up a public boat ramp, and the city would look for other ways to add bay access. No vote was taken and the agreement must return to council.
What it may mean for the marketCompleting the waterfront walkway adds a pedestrian amenity downtown, while the loss of the ramp reduces one boat launch point on Kings Bay. The project is about 4 miles west of Crystal Oaks, elsewhere in Citrus County.

The Crystal Oaks buying strategy.
If we were buying in Crystal Oaks today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Crystal Oaks.
A closer look at the Crystal Oaks market
At a median of $164 per square foot, Crystal Oaks prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
The housing stock is 67 homes built between 1988 and 2023, and 72% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Crystal Oaks. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

What it really costs to own in Crystal Oaks
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| CDD / special assessments | None reported: 0 of 6 current listings that report the field list a CDD or special assessment (MLS, 2026-11-13). |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Citrus County is $1,410/yr (2,306 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. Flood: of 8 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100% sit outside the high-risk zone. Statewide, a Zone X flood policy runs about $500-$700/yr and a high-risk zone $1,200-$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not quotes). |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1993 across 14 listings. An original roof here would be about 33 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
