Ponce De Leon Elementary School

It's a solid choice for buyers who want Clearwater's Gulf-coast lifestyle without the priciest tags, with a mix of condos and single-family homes and access to well-regarded schools like Countryside High School. The 222 homes sold in the past year show it's an active, established community rather than a quiet backwater.

Compared with much of coastal Pinellas, this zone is relatively affordable — the median list price is $281,000 and the median sold price came in at $321,250 over the past year. Entry-level listings start around $95,000, though the range climbs to $1,900,000 for the rare waterfront showpiece.

You're looking at roughly $239 per square foot with a median home size of 1,226 square feet, which lands most homes in the high-$200,000s to low-$300,000s. Just one active listing is priced above $1 million, so the vast majority of inventory sits well within reach for typical buyers.

It's balanced and steady: 76 homes are active, the median days on market is 41, and sellers are getting about 96% of their asking price. That combination means you can negotiate but shouldn't count on deep cuts — check the live map for the latest listings.

The median HOA runs about $509 a month, reflecting the number of condos and maintained communities in the zone, while median property taxes are a modest $2,484 a year. If you're weighing renting first, the median rent here is around $1,650 a month.
