Hudson is suburban beach community on Florida’s west coast, just north of New Port Richey and about 45 miles from Tampa and Clearwater. Many of the houses and condos on the west side of town are connected to the Gulf of Mexico by canals, making it a great spot for boaters. Affordable houses make up the majority of the inland rental market, including many surrounding Beacon Woods Golf Club and Bayonet Point Hospital. Locally-owned restaurants and bars are scattered throughout the community, especially along Highway 19 and on the east side of town.
