As of September 2026, the MLS records 9 closed sales in Highland Pines 1St Add in Clearwater, FL since 2013, the most recent in January 2026. Across Clearwater as a whole, 1,267 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $315,000, 49 median days on market, with 393 homes for sale today. At that median and Pinellas County's FY2025-26 rate of 19.39 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,110 ($5,290 with the full homestead exemption).

Highland Pines Add is an older Clearwater plat, with a median build year of 1958 and homes stretching as far as 2001. That range matters more than any single number: a buyer here is choosing between original mid-century construction and later infill or rebuilds on the same streets, and the two categories show up, live, and hold up very differently. Condition and updates, not square footage, are what separate one listing from the next.
With homestead exemptions filed on 72.2% of homes, this is a neighborhood where most owners have been in place long enough to establish a homestead, not one cycling through short-term rentals or flips. That kind of tenure tends to keep turnover measured and puts a premium on well-maintained, move-in-ready homes when they do come up, since replacement stock isn't being added.

Who Highland Pines is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating a home's individual renovation and system history rather than relying on neighborhood-wide consistency
- Buyers who want a mid-size home, near the 1,548.5 sq ft median, without HOA dues or shared amenity fees
- Buyers looking for a neighborhood with an established, largely owner-occupied base rather than heavy investor or rental turnover
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a newer-construction home as the default rather than the exception on the street
- Buyers who prioritize community amenities like pools, clubhouses, or organized recreation as part of the purchase
- Buyers unwilling to budget time and money for updates on an original-condition, 1950s-era home

The Highland Pines buying strategy.
If we were buying in Highland Pines 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 Highland Pines.
An original-stock neighborhood, house by house
The 1950-to-2001 build span in Highland Pines Add means due diligence starts with the permit and renovation history of the specific address, not the neighborhood average. A home from the original 1958 wave that hasn't been updated will show its age in systems and layout; a later-built or substantially renovated home on the same block can feel like a different product entirely. Buyers should expect to evaluate each listing on its own condition rather than assume consistency across the plat.
There's no HOA or listed community amenity package here, so whatever draws a buyer to Highland Pines Add is the location and the individual lot, not shared recreation or maintained common areas. That also means fewer recurring fees and more owner discretion over the property, which suits buyers who want control over their home's condition and use rather than a managed, amenity-driven setting.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Highland Pines. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a neighborhood this age-mixed, the difference between a fair offer and an overpay comes down to reading each home's actual condition and update history against what's currently active and pending nearby. We walk that comparison line by line before you write an offer, and we do the same work in reverse for sellers pricing a home that needs to stand out against both original-condition and renovated neighbors.
