As of October 2026, the MLS records 17 closed sales in Coastal Highlands in Dunedin, FL since 2012, the most recent in September 2025. Across Dunedin as a whole, 556 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $380,000, 57 median days on market, with 241 homes for sale today. At that median and Pinellas County's FY2025-26 rate of 19.39 mills, annual property tax runs about $7,370 ($6,550 with the full homestead exemption).

Coastal Highlands is a small, tightly defined pocket of Dunedin — just 36 homes, all built in a narrow window from 1985 to 1993. That consistency matters: with a median build year of 1986 and a median of roughly 1,821 living square feet, buyers are largely comparing similar-vintage, similar-sized houses. Price here is driven less by square footage and more by condition and updates, since the bones are broadly comparable across the community. Expect a wide spread between a lightly touched original home and one that has been fully renovated.
This is a low-turnover, hold-and-live community. With roughly 78% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, most owners occupy long-term, which keeps available inventory thin. For a seller, that scarcity is your leverage — well-prepared listings tend to draw focused attention. For a buyer, patience and readiness are the price of entry; you may wait for the right home to come up, so be prepared to move when it does.

The 60-Second Overview
Coastal Highlands is a compact enclave of mid-1980s to early-1990s homes in Dunedin, Pinellas County — homogeneous in age and size, owner-occupied at a high rate, and defined more by condition than by floor plan.

Who Coastal Highlands is best for.
Best for
- Long-term owner-occupants who value a settled, low-turnover street over a fast-flipping market
- Buyers comfortable with a 1980s-to-early-1990s home and the diligence that vintage requires
- Renovation-minded buyers willing to bid on an original-condition home and add value themselves
Probably not for
- Buyers set on new construction or the latest floor plans and finishes
- Anyone needing to close quickly and unwilling to wait for limited inventory
- Investors chasing rapid turnover, given the high owner-occupancy and thin supply

The Coastal Highlands buying strategy.
If we were buying in Coastal Highlands today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Coastal Highlands.
A small, stable pocket where condition sets the price
At 36 homes with a build range of 1985 to 1993, Coastal Highlands is the kind of neighborhood where you can learn the whole housing stock. The median living area of about 1,821 square feet points to practical, single-family layouts rather than sprawling estates or compact starters. Because the homes were built so close together in time, the differentiator between listings is almost always the level of updating — roof, systems, kitchens, and baths — not the underlying structure.
That homogeneity cuts both ways. It makes pricing legible, since comparable sales are genuinely comparable, but it also means an original-condition home and a renovated one can sit far apart in value despite looking similar on paper. Homes of this era should be evaluated with age-appropriate diligence: inspect the major systems and factor deferred maintenance into your offer.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Coastal Highlands. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

We track condition and closings inside Coastal Highlands specifically, so we can tell you whether a given asking price reflects the work done — or the work still owed. That candor is the whole point.
