Homes listed or recently sold were built 1940–1952; none of the 4 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 55 ft). As of October 2026, the MLS records 29 closed sales in Hillcrest Sub 2 Rev in Clearwater, FL since 2012, the most recent in August 2026. Across Clearwater as a whole, 1,358 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $312,500, 50 median days on market, with 415 homes for sale today. At that median and Pinellas County's FY2025-26 rate of 19.39 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,060 ($5,250 with the full homestead exemption).

There is no listing or closing data feeding a median price for Hillcrest Sub 2 Rev right now, which itself tells you something: this is a quieter corner of the Clearwater market, not a high-turnover subdivision. What you can read clearly is the housing stock — a median year built of 1951 across a range that stretches from 1920 to 2023, meaning original mid-century construction sits block by block with recent builds and renovations. That spread is the real pricing story here, far more than any single number could be.
With 397 homes and a homestead share of 61.6%, this reads as a settled, owner-occupied neighborhood rather than an investor-heavy or transient one. For a buyer, that means less competition for turnover inventory but also fewer comps to lean on — pricing conversations here get built home by home, based on age, condition, and how much of the original structure has been updated, not by a neighborhood-wide number.

The Hillcrest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hillcrest 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 Hillcrest.
A Century of Housing Stock in One Subdivision
The defining fact about this community is its age range. A median year built of 1951 puts the typical home solidly in the mid-century category, but the full range — 1920 to 2023 — means shoppers here will encounter everything from unrenovated original construction to full teardown-rebuilds and recent additions. That variance matters more in a neighborhood like this than square footage or lot size, because the condition and update history of any given house can swing its value more than its address does.
At a median living area of roughly 1,659 square feet, homes here skew toward modest, efficient footprints rather than large-format construction — consistent with the neighborhood's mid-century core. With no community amenities identified from current MLS listings, this is a neighborhood defined by its houses and its location within Clearwater, not by shared recreational infrastructure. Buyers should evaluate each property on its own renovation history rather than assuming a uniform standard across the subdivision.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hillcrest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A neighborhood spanning a century of construction with no aggregated amenity package and thin current sales data is exactly where a generic online estimate falls apart. We walk each property's specific age, condition, and renovation history against what is actually happening on the ground in Hillcrest Sub 2 Rev, rather than leaning on a subdivision-wide number that does not exist yet in the current feed.
