Rich history and new growth in North Greenwood
North Greenwood is a historically Black neighborhood north of downtown Clearwater that was once called “The Grove” for the orange orchards that covered the area before the turn of the 20th century. Between 1900 and 1960, the neighborhood transitioned from a farming community to a dense residential district with thriving small businesses. “A lot of Clearwater firsts happened here, like the first African American who was a public librarian, Miss Christine Morris,” says Sandra Rooks, co-author of the book “Clearwater, Florida.”
A recession rocked the area during the latter half of the 20th century and continued into the 21st, but North Greenwood remains a close-knit, hopeful community. “We have a library, barber shops, beauty shops, a lot of churches and a community center, so we’re doing all right,” Rooks says. “The city is targeting the area for improvement, too, they’re offering all kinds of incentives to people to move in and open businesses here,” says Coldwell Banker Realtor Kirsten Kelley, who has more than 10 years of local real estate experience.
North Greenwood extends from Downtown Clearwater to the Burgas Bridge.
The North Greenwood Branch Library is newly renovated and a pleasant place to browse.

Community-building programs and outdoor recreation abound
Greenwood Grove, a local nonprofit, hosts community-building programs out of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. The organization’s Greenwood Gardeners group holds regular neighborhood cleanup days. North Greenwood Recreation Center, close to the North Greenwood branch library, has an outdoor pool with a slide and in-pool spray features, a fitness center and a playground. The rec center hosts seasonal events, like the annual Hoppin’ Boppin’ Easter Egg Hunt. Local schools play baseball at the 1,200-seat Jack Russell Memorial Stadium. Cherry Harris Park anchors the neighborhood’s north end with playgrounds and picnic areas across the street from the Pinellas County African American History Museum at the Curtis. The museum serves as a research center and exhibit space. It’s nearing the end of a renovation and is expected to reopen in December 2025.
Clearwater Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center is an asset that North Greenwood is proud to host.
The Pinellas County African American History Museum in North Greenwood is under renovation and will be a shining example of local and national renown.

Modest single-family homes appeal to investors
Minimal Traditional cottages and ranch-style bungalows sell for between about $125,000 and $580,000. They’re usually on the market for about two months, a couple weeks longer than the national average of 46 days. Over half of residents rent rather than own their homes. “There are quite a few investors going in and buying up the land and rebuilding,” Kelley says. The risk of flooding is higher at the neighborhood’s north end, close to an inlet of Clearwater Harbor.
Festive colors adorn some of the minimal traditional style homes in the North Greenwood neighborhood.
