Nautical living in Clearwater
Residents of Island Estates wake up every morning surrounded by the clear blue waters of Clearwater Bay. This nautical neighborhood is a half-mile from the beach and a short drive to downtown Clearwater—making it easy to get to major attractions. Private island living is on offer in this prestigious, close-knit community known by locals as merely "The Island." Island Estates has a highly active social committee that organizes monthly gatherings, ladies' luncheons, annual barbeques, block parties and festive holiday celebrations. Residents are positioned right in the Intracoastal Waterway, with gated bridge access across the Canal that ensures security and privacy. Those who live here enjoy residing in a community where they can dock their boats in their backyards and still walk or bike to the ocean, which they can access via a Hammock Dunes private, gated walkover.
Island Estates almost every house is a waterfront home.

Wake up surrounded by the sea
Homes in Island Estates were primarily built in the 1960s and 1970s and include everything from ranch-style homes with stucco walls to soaring condominium towers with resort-style amenities. "Naturally, many of the homes and condos are on the waterfront," says Merry Donovan, a local realtor with Charles Rutenberg Realty. "Many residents have boats." Modern estates and Mediterranean-inspired villas sitting on the water can also be found in the area, with prices ranging from $200,000 for a small condo unit to $11.5 million for a sprawling estate with a private dock. Despite its aquatic surroundings, the neighborhood is considered more of a residential area than a vacation spot, so many residents live there full-time.
