Waters Edge is a gated community in the Moon Lake area of New Port Richey, in Pasco County, built on roughly 701 acres of the former Moon Lake Gardens and dude ranch site, with the first homes sold around 2005 (community and local real estate guides, 2026). It pairs single-family homes with townhome sections behind guarded, gated entrances.
The community is amenity-rich for the area: a large Old Florida themed clubhouse with a fitness center, game and media rooms, and a banquet room, plus a community pool, playgrounds, sport courts, and a spring-fed lake with fishing piers and a dock. The clubhouse sits at 9019 Creedmoor Lane (Waters Edge CDD, 2026).
Waters Edge is governed by both a homeowners association and a Community Development District, so the carrying picture is an HOA line plus a CDD assessment that typically appears on the property tax bill. The single-family and townhome sections carry different fee structures, so the all-in number has to be confirmed for the specific parcel and section.
The pitch is gated, amenity living with a strengthening east-side access story: the Moffitt Speros campus is rising a few miles east off Ridge Road, and the Ridge Road Extension is improving the connection toward the Suncoast Parkway. The work is matching the section to your budget and verifying HOA, CDD, flood zone, and insurance before the lake views close the deal.
