Whitney Lakes is a deed-restricted townhome community off Whitney Way, near Whitney Road and US 19, in the Gateway area of Clearwater, in Pinellas County (Pinellas County Whitney Road Complete Streets project, 2023; community real estate guides, 2026). It comprises roughly 96 townhomes built in the 1980s, grouped in clusters with one-story end units, a mid-size managed community rather than a large subdivision.
The homes are generally two-bedroom townhomes in a compact size range cited by listing guides at roughly 1,200 to 1,450 square feet, with the one-story end units offering a single-level option (community real estate listing guides, 2026). Floor plans, square footage, and whether a unit is an interior or end home vary, so confirm the exact size, bedroom count, and configuration for any specific townhome.
Because this is one association, the money is made or lost on the HOA and the unit, not on the address. The drivers are the monthly HOA fee and exactly what it bundles, the reserve funding, who maintains the roof and exterior, and the condition and exposure of the specific townhome, all of which have to be read from the current association documents.
The pitch is a managed, low-maintenance address in central Pinellas with a community pool and hot tub, a fenced pet park, and quick access to US 19, the Gateway business corridor, and the St. Pete-Clearwater airport, with the Gulf beaches a manageable drive west. The work is the diligence: read the budget and reserves, confirm the fee inclusions, and check the maintenance responsibilities before you buy.
