Santorini Trace market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $472K ($230 per sq ft), with homes averaging 39 days on market and 3.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 4 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Santorini Trace is a gated townhome community at 1501 South Highland Avenue in Clearwater, in central Pinellas County (DiGiovanni Homes community page, 2026). It was built by DiGiovanni Homes, a Tampa Bay area builder, and the community is now sold out as a new-construction phase, so resales drive today's market.
The community was delivered around 2021 to 2022 and includes about 52 townhomes, with a community pool and cabana and a private resident entrance and walking path (DiGiovanni Homes community page, 2026; new-home listing guides, 2026). Floor plans such as the Alexander, Helena, and Theo run roughly 1,700 to 2,200 square feet across three bedroom layouts, with most plans offering a two-car garage and impact-rated windows; the Helena end units sit at the ends of each building for more light and privacy. Confirm the exact size, bedroom count, and plan for any specific unit.
Because this is a small townhome community, the money is made or lost on the unit and the association, not on a townwide average. The drivers are the monthly HOA dues and what they cover, the reserve funding under Florida community-association rules, the warranty status on a newer build, and the specific floor plan, position, and condition, all of which have to be read from the current HOA documents and the listing for the exact unit.
The pitch is a central, low-maintenance Clearwater address: the community sits near South Highland Avenue with downtown Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, and the wider Pinellas Gulf coast within a short to moderate drive, and the Courtney Campbell and Howard Frankland routes to Tampa are reachable. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget and reserves, confirm the warranty, and check the flood zone before you buy the lock-and-leave convenience.
