Listed by GREG Klesius• GULF COAST FISHING HOMES RLTY
Royal Highlands, located between Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and the Gulf Coast, is a low-density and nature-forward North Weeki Wachee neighborhood with large lots and a pine-and-palmetto landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along US-19 near the Cortez Boulevard junction, where bait shops, produce stands, and local diners set a practical, outdoorsy tone. Homes skew toward ranch-style and Florida contemporary builds, often with room for boats, RVs, and workshops. The Weeki Wachee River and nearby springs shape weekends around paddling, fishing, and wildlife watching. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and Buccaneer Bay Waterpark act as signature local anchors. SunWest Park adds a freshwater beach and trail network for a change of scenery.
