Alcove is a compact residential pocket in Clearwater, the kind of small-scale community where the homes are modest and the value is real. Assigned to Countryside High, Safety Harbor Middle, and McMullen-Booth Elementary, it sits within easy reach of the rest of the area — from the beaches at Sand Key to the shops and waterfront of Downtown, with the active-lifestyle draw of On Top Of The World not far off. Tampa International Airport is roughly 26 minutes away, and Downtown Tampa about 29, so commuting and travel stay simple.
For a buyer today, Alcove is a thin, patient market. There's just one active listing at $82,500, and only two homes have sold in the past year at a median of $59,250 — with sellers getting 100% of asking on average, which tells you pricing here is disciplined rather than negotiable. Homes are small, averaging 952 square feet at about $87 per square foot, and they can sit a while, with a median 300 days on market. If you want a low entry point in Clearwater and are willing to wait for the right listing, this is worth watching alongside other Clearwater homes for sale.
