Highland Lake sits in the heart of Clearwater, a practical, well-located pocket of Pinellas County where single-family homes on modest lots make everyday life simple. You're close to the wider Clearwater community — from the waterfront lifestyle of Sand Key to the walkable energy of Downtown — without paying the premium those addresses command. Assigned schools include Plumb Elementary, Oak Grove Middle, and Clearwater High, and both Tampa International Airport and Downtown Tampa are roughly half an hour away.
For buyers, the market here moves fast. With only three active listings and a median list price of $429,000, homes sit a median of just 7 days before going under contract. Over the past year 12 homes sold at a median of $372,000, with sellers collecting about 95% of their asking price — a sign of steady demand rather than bidding-war chaos, so a well-prepared offer still competes.
Highland Lake is a community in Clearwater, Florida.
