Highland Lake is a settled residential pocket of Clearwater, the kind of neighborhood where mature trees, single-family lots and easy access across Pinellas County shape daily life. You're within the wider Clearwater orbit that includes the beachside Sand Key, the active 55+ community of On Top Of The World, and a revitalizing Downtown — so the Gulf, the waterfront and the city core are all a short drive away.
For buyers, this is a small and tightly held market: just 2 homes are active right now, with a median list price of $474,000. Homes here tend to sell within about 40 days, and over the past year sellers have averaged 94% of their asking price — a sign that fair pricing matters and negotiation room exists. If you want an established Clearwater address without beachfront pricing, this is a market worth watching closely.
Highland Lake is a community in Clearwater, Florida.

Is Highland Lake expensive?+
It sits in a moderate range for Clearwater, with a median list price of $474,000 and homes averaging about $294 per square foot. That's meaningfully less than beachside communities like Sand Key, making it a value option for an established address.

How is the market in Highland Lake?+
It's a small, steady market — 9 homes sold in the past year and just 2 active right now. Homes take a median of about 40 days to sell, and sellers average 94% of their asking price, which points to a balanced dynamic where sharp pricing and negotiation both matter.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't available for the current listings, which is common in an established neighborhood of individually owned homes. The median annual property tax runs about $6,723, so factor that into your monthly budget when comparing homes.
