The Fitzgerald Middle School zone sits in the heart of Clearwater, a Pinellas County community close enough to the Gulf and Tampa Bay to feel the coastal pull without being on the water for most addresses. It's a practical, lived-in part of the county where ranch homes, villas and newer gated pockets share the same streets, and where a short hop puts you at the airport or across the bay. Buyers who want a central location, a range of price points and fast access to both Pinellas beaches and Tampa jobs tend to gravitate here. You can browse the full picture on Clearwater homes for sale or follow along on the live map.
Right now the market offers real choice: 186 active listings with a median list price of $299,500, running from the mid-$80,000s up past $1.5M. Over the last year 544 homes sold at a median of $285,000, with sellers collecting about 96% of asking — a balanced market where well-priced homes move and overpriced ones sit. With a median 57.5 days on market, buyers have room to negotiate. Families also weigh nearby high school options like Clearwater High School and Countryside High School when mapping out the long term.

Living in the Fitzgerald Middle School zone
The Fitzgerald Middle School zone sits in central Clearwater, inside Pinellas County, close to both the Gulf beaches to the west and Tampa Bay to the east. It's a practical, established part of the county — the kind of place where ranch homes from earlier decades share streets with villas and newer gated pockets. Rather than a single uniform subdivision, the zone pulls together a range of housing types and price points under one central location.
This community suits a broad range of buyers: first-timers drawn by the lower end of the price range, commuters who value quick bay access, and move-up buyers looking at pool or gated homes. With 23 pool homes and 36 gated listings currently active, you can prioritize outdoor living or privacy without leaving the area. It's less about a resort lifestyle and more about everyday convenience in a well-connected spot.
Because it's central, the zone trades some of the beachfront cachet of coastal Pinellas for location and value. Waterfront is limited here — just nine waterfront listings are active — so most buyers are choosing inland homes with easy drives to the water. For many, that's the right trade: more house and a better commute for a short ride to the Gulf.
Schools for homes in the Fitzgerald Middle School zone
This area is defined by its assignment to Fitzgerald Middle School, which anchors the attendance zone and gives the community its name. Families weighing a move here typically map out the full K-12 path, including the high school their address would feed into.
Nearby high school options that buyers in this part of Clearwater often consider include Clearwater High School and Countryside High School, along with other Pinellas County campuses in the surrounding area. Because this page focuses on the middle school zone, confirm the specific elementary and high school assignments for any individual address before you commit.
School attendance boundaries in Pinellas County can and do change from year to year. Always verify the exact zone for a specific property directly with the Pinellas County school district rather than relying on a listing or a general area description. That single step avoids surprises after closing.
Homes for sale in the Fitzgerald Middle School zone: prices and housing
There are 186 active listings in the zone, with a median list price of $299,500 and a range that runs from about $84,490 to $1,540,000. The average price is around $230 per square foot and the median home size is roughly 1,263 square feet, so buyers are often looking at compact single-family homes, villas and condos rather than sprawling estates. Over the past 12 months, 544 homes sold at a median price of $285,000, with sellers collecting about 96% of asking on average.
The inventory breaks into clear segments. Beyond the standard single-family and villa stock, there are 23 pool homes, 36 gated listings and nine waterfront properties active now, plus three homes priced above $1M for the high end. New construction is limited — six newly built homes are currently on the market — so most buyers will be choosing from established homes.
On carrying costs, the median HOA is about $535 a month, which reflects the condo and villa communities in the mix; confirm exactly what any association covers before you buy. The median property tax sits around $2,904 a year. Both figures vary significantly by home type and community, so run the numbers on each specific address. You can track current listings and pricing on Clearwater homes for sale.
Getting around from the Fitzgerald Middle School zone
Location is a core strength of this zone. Tampa International Airport is about 21 minutes away and Downtown Tampa roughly 27 minutes, which makes the area realistic for anyone who works or travels across the bay. Those drive times rely on the causeways that connect Pinellas County to Hillsborough.
Within Pinellas, the central position means Gulf beaches, shopping and the wider county are all a reasonable drive in multiple directions. The zone isn't dependent on a single corridor, which helps spread out traffic compared to purely coastal communities. For most households, one car per adult remains the norm here, as it is across suburban Pinellas.
If a short airport run and a manageable Tampa commute rank high on your list, this zone delivers on both without putting you in the busiest tourist corridors. Review exact routes for your daily destinations, since real-world times shift with rush hour and bridge traffic. You can see how individual listings sit relative to the main roads on the live map.
Is the Fitzgerald Middle School zone a good fit?
This zone makes sense for buyers who prize central Pinellas location and value over beachfront address. With a median sold price of $285,000 and a range that starts in the mid-$80,000s, there's genuine entry-level opportunity here, while pool and gated homes give move-up buyers something to reach for. The quick drives to Tampa International and Downtown Tampa are a meaningful advantage for commuters.
The trade-offs are honest ones. Waterfront is scarce at just nine active listings, median home sizes are compact around 1,263 square feet, and new construction is limited to a handful of homes — so buyers wanting a brand-new or very large house may need patience or flexibility. HOA costs vary, with a median around $535 a month, so read the fine print on any community you consider.
The current market gives buyers room to work: a median 57.5 days on market and sellers getting about 96% of asking point to a balanced, negotiable environment. If you want a central, well-connected Clearwater base with a wide spread of price points, this zone is worth a serious look — and confirming the school assignment for your target address is the final step to get right.

Fitzgerald Middle School FAQs
Is the Fitzgerald Middle School zone a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a central Clearwater base with quick access to both Gulf beaches and Tampa. The mix of older ranch homes, villas and newer gated communities means a variety of lifestyles and budgets fit here. The commute data — about 21 minutes to the airport — makes it especially practical for anyone working across the bay.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
It's moderate for Pinellas County. The median list price is $299,500 and the median sold price over the last year was $285,000, so most buyers are transacting under $300,000. That said, listings range all the way up past $1.5M, with three homes currently active above $1M for higher-end shoppers.
What do homes cost in the zone?+
Active listings run from about $84,490 to $1,540,000, with a median list price of $299,500 and an average of $230 per square foot. The median home size is around 1,263 square feet, so you're often looking at compact single-family homes, villas and condos. You can see the current spread on Clearwater homes for sale.
How is the market right now?+
It's balanced and gives buyers breathing room. Homes take a median of 57.5 days to sell and sellers are getting about 96% of asking, meaning sharp pricing matters and there's space to negotiate. With 544 homes sold in the past year, it's an active market with steady turnover.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $535 a month, which reflects the villa and condo communities in the zone — always confirm what a specific association covers. The median property tax is roughly $2,904 a year. Both figures vary widely by community and home type, so check the numbers on any address you're serious about.
What schools serve this area?+
This is the Fitzgerald Middle School attendance zone, and nearby high school options families consider include Clearwater High School and Countryside High School. School boundaries change, so confirm the exact assignment for any specific address with the Pinellas County school district before you buy.
How is the commute to Tampa?+
It's one of the zone's strongest selling points. Tampa International Airport is about 21 minutes away and Downtown Tampa roughly 27 minutes, thanks to the bay-crossing causeways that link Pinellas to Hillsborough. That makes it workable for commuters while keeping Gulf beaches close in the other direction.
Is there new construction available?+
There's a modest amount — six newly built homes are active in the zone right now. New construction here is the exception rather than the rule, so most buyers are choosing from established homes, villas and condos. If a new build matters to you, act quickly when one comes up and check it on the live map.
