Unlike most of coastal Florida, the terrain here is not flat. Palm Harbor rises gently from the Gulf to an average elevation of 25 feet, with some land as high as 80 feet above sea level. Residents can enjoy all the advantages of a major metropolis while living in an attractive suburban setting.
Palm Harbor incorporates small-town friendliness in a thriving community.
From its early population of a few hardy souls whose livelihoods depended on agriculture or fishing, Palm Harbor has blossomed into one of the fastest growing residential areas in the United States. The community's present population of more than 65,000 is a nicely balanced mix. Palm Harbor's economy has firm roots in retail business, the service industries, financial institutions and the building trades. For companies or businesses where travel is a necessity, the community is convenient to the Interstate highway system and just thirty minutes from two international airports and a major deep-water port.
