Anchored by the county seat and scenic City of Clearwater, this metropolitan area boasts a stunning stretch of beach along the Gulf of Mexico.  Newcomers will find a delightfully varied selection of housing in and around Clearwater, from charming beach bungalows and cabanas to rambling ranches, handsome condominiums, and luxurious estates.

Now the county’s second largest city, Clearwater has benefited from significant revenue from tourism.  In recent years, an influx of high-tech and service industries have diversified and strengthened the already flourishing economy.  Enhancing the impressive hospitality industry, Harborview Center convention complex was built in the mid 1990s and nestles in the very heart of the downtown district.

New businesses and new residents alike have recognized the value of a well-developed urban center with an ideal, centralized location on the Pinellas peninsula.  Although the cosmopolitan resources of Tampa and St. Petersburg are easily accessible to Clearwater residents, they enjoy first-rate services and amenities just beyond the front door.  Fine venues for the performing arts, leading museums and galleries, respected healthcare institutions, and excellent public and private schools continue to attract an increasing number of year-round residents and families to this gulf coast resort city known for its quality of life and natural beauty.
