Monterey Heights is the kind of established Clearwater neighborhood where mid-sized single-family homes sit on real lots and everyday errands stay simple. You're assigned to Ponce De Leon Elementary, Largo Middle, and Largo High, and you're within easy reach of the Gulf beaches that define this stretch of Pinellas County. It's a settled, residential feel — closer in character to nearby Downtown Clearwater and the barrier-island scene at Sand Key than to the sprawling 55+ communities like On Top Of The World.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, fast-moving market. There's currently just one active listing at $459,000, and over the past year only three homes sold, at a median of $280,000 — sellers taking home about 99% of asking. That combination of low inventory and near-full-price sales means when the right home in Monterey Heights lists, you'll want to move quickly and know your numbers, so it's worth watching the wider pool of Clearwater homes for sale alongside it.
Monterey Heights is a community in Clearwater, Florida.

Straight answers
Monterey Heights FAQs
Is Monterey Heights a good place to live?+
It's a settled, family-scale Clearwater neighborhood with assigned schools in Ponce De Leon Elementary, Largo Middle, and Largo High. You get real single-family homes near the Gulf coast without the density of the big condo communities, plus reasonable access to Tampa across the bay. If you like quiet residential streets close to the Sand Key beaches, it fits.
Is Monterey Heights expensive?+
It sits in a moderate range for coastal Pinellas — the current active listing is priced at $459,000, while the median sold price over the past year was $280,000. That gap reflects how few homes trade here, so pricing depends heavily on the individual home and its condition.
What do homes cost in Monterey Heights?+
Expect roughly $267 per square foot on a median home size of about 1,718 square feet. The one home on the market now lists at $459,000, and the median of the three homes sold in the last year came in at $280,000. It's a good idea to compare against the broader Clearwater homes for sale to gauge value.
How is the market in Monterey Heights?+
It's tight and fast. Inventory is extremely thin with just one active listing, only three homes sold in the past twelve months, and a median of zero days on market — meaning homes go under contract almost immediately. Sellers averaged 99% of asking, so buyers should come prepared to act decisively.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Median property tax runs about $3,519 per year, which is a manageable figure for a home in this price range. HOA data isn't reported for the neighborhood, consistent with a mix of standard single-family homes rather than a managed community like Cove Cay. Confirm any dues and tax specifics on the individual property before you write an offer.
