Kalmia is a small, budget-friendly pocket of Clearwater where compact homes and condo-style living put you within easy reach of the Gulf coast without the coastal price tag. It sits among a handful of well-known Clearwater communities — from On Top Of The World to Cove Cay and Downtown — with a low-key, established feel and quick highway access to the wider Tampa Bay area.
For buyers today, this is one of the most accessible entry points in the area. Homes here move fast — the median listing is going in about a day — and with a median list price under $125,000, it's a rare spot where ownership costs less than renting elsewhere in the county. Just note that inventory is thin, with only five active listings on the market right now.
Kalmia is a community in Clearwater, Florida.
