Clearwater Beach Real Estate Guide
Aktualisiert im Oktober 2026.
Clearwater Beach is the northern end of our service area and the busiest of the Pinellas beaches, part of the City of Clearwater. Pier 60 and the resort core draw visitors year-round, while North Beach and Island Estates offer quieter residential streets. Across Clearwater Pass to the south is Sand Key.
Where people live
High-rise and resort-area condos near the beach and Pier 60.
North Beach, a quieter area of homes, townhomes, and smaller condo buildings.
Island Estates, a bay-side neighborhood of waterfront homes with docks, just off the causeway.
What moves value in Clearwater Beach
- Building finances. For condos, reserves, inspections, assessments, and insurance are central to every sale.
- Rental rules. The City of Clearwater and individual associations set rental rules. Confirm both before buying for rental income.
- Location within the island. The busy core, quieter North Beach, and the bay-side neighborhoods each attract different buyers.
Local favorites
- Sunsets at Pier 60. A free festival every night in Pier 60 Park, from about two hours before until two hours after sunset, with local artisans, street performers, and music.
- Pier 60. The fishing pier reopened in stages after damage from the 2024 hurricanes.
- Clearwater Marine Aquarium. A marine rescue and education center close to the beach.
- Sand Key Park. A county beach park across Clearwater Pass, quieter than the main beach.
Hours and offerings change, especially as businesses finish post-storm rebuilding, so check before you go.
