Lakes Villas Condo I
Homes for Sale in Clearwater, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Lakes Villas Condo I is a condo community in Clearwater where price is driven far more by condition and updates than by square footage. The median sits at $113,450, or about $153 per square foot on a median unit of roughly 1,660 square feet. With stock built between 1972 and 2002 and a median vintage of 1978, the spread between an original unit and a renovated one is where the real negotiation happens.
The posture right now is patient. A median of just over 116 days on market tells you these units are not clearing quickly, which gives buyers room to inspect, negotiate, and walk if the numbers do not work. Sellers should price to condition from day one; the market here is not rewarding optimism, and a listing that lingers only confirms the pace.
The 60-Second Overview
Lakes Villas Condo I market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $113K ($153 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 117 days on market for closed sales.
Lakes Villas Condo I is a community of 225 homes in Clearwater, Pinellas County, built between 1972 and 2002 (median 1978), with a median living area of about 1,660 square feet. 77% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
This is an established Pinellas County condo community of 225 homes with a high owner-occupancy share — roughly 77% homestead — which tends to signal stable ownership rather than a rental-heavy building.
Who Lakes Villas Condo I is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a sub-$115K entry point who will do their homework on the building's finances
- Owner-occupant buyers wanting a stable, established condo rather than a rental play
- Buyers willing to trade an older vintage for a lower per-square-foot price and negotiating leverage
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to close fast in a competitive, fast-moving market
- Buyers unwilling to underwrite reserves, assessments, and aging mechanicals
- Buyers set on newer construction or turnkey finishes with no renovation appetite
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The Lakes Villas Condo I buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lakes Villas Condo I 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 Lakes Villas Condo I.
Condition is the whole story
With a median build year of 1978 and units dating back to 1972, mechanicals, roofs, and reserves matter as much as anything cosmetic. Two units of similar size can sit far apart on price depending on updates, so read the numbers on any single listing against the community median rather than assuming it defines your unit. The $153-per-square-foot median is a midpoint, not a floor or a ceiling.
The high homestead share — about 77% — points to a community held largely by owner-occupants rather than investors. For a buyer, that generally means a more settled building; for a seller, it means your buyer pool leans toward people who intend to live in the unit, which rewards a clean, move-in-ready presentation.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lakes Villas Condo I. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a condo community this age, the diligence is in the details — reserves, special assessments, roof and mechanical age, and how a specific unit's condition stacks up against the median. With closings thin and days on market long, we help buyers use that slack to negotiate and help sellers price honestly to condition instead of chasing a number the market has not supported.
