Knights Acres
Homes for Sale in Clearwater, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Knights Acres is a Clearwater pocket built almost entirely before recent construction cycles — the median year built sits at 1954, and the range on file runs all the way back to 1922 with a handful of newer builds mixed in. That spread is the story here: pricing and condition vary house to house based on what's been updated versus what's original, not on lot location or floor plan alone.
With a homestead share of 67.3%, this is a neighborhood where most owners have filed for homestead exemption rather than holding property purely as a rental or short-term investment. That tends to produce a steadier, less transaction-driven resale pattern. Buyers should expect to evaluate each home individually — roof age, electrical, plumbing — rather than assume a uniform standard across the 149 homes on record.
Who Knights Acres is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want a modest-sized home and are prepared to evaluate an older housing stock on its individual merits
- Buyers focused on long-term ownership over quick resale, given the neighborhood's high homestead share
- Buyers who don't need community amenities and prefer a straightforward, non-HOA housing market
Probably not for
- Buyers who require newer construction with modern systems already in place
- Buyers who want a larger living footprint as a non-negotiable
- Buyers expecting shared community amenities or recreational facilities on-site

The Knights Acres buying strategy.
If we were buying in Knights Acres 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 Knights Acres.
A Century of Construction in One Neighborhood
The build range in Knights Acres — 1922 to 2022 — is wide enough that two homes on the same block can represent completely different eras of construction practice. With a median year built of 1954, the bulk of the inventory predates modern code requirements, which means due diligence on systems and structure matters more here than in newer-build communities. Buyers who want turnkey should budget time to find the renovated exceptions; buyers comfortable with a project have more room to negotiate on condition.
At a median living area of 1,352 square feet, this is a compact-home market — not a place to expect sprawling floor plans. No community amenities are identified from current listings, so whatever a buyer is looking for in shared recreational space, they'll need to find off-site. What the neighborhood does offer is a stable ownership base: two-thirds of the 149 homes carry a homestead exemption, a signal of longer-term occupancy rather than a churn-heavy rental market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Knights Acres. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
