Deed-restricted community in Clearwater’s Countryside area
Northwood is a deed-restricted neighborhood in the Countryside area of northern Clearwater. “It’s a mid-sized city setting, for sure. It’s not like Tampa, where it’s really crazy, but it is still definitely a city vibe,” says Coldwell Banker’s Kirsten Kelley, a Realtor with over a decade of experience. The community is a mix of condos and single-family homes on quiet, tree-lined streets close to Countryside Mall, Countryside Sports Complex and Lake Chautauqua Park. “It’s very Florida. We have these major urban areas surrounded by awesome, beautiful parks. Everything is in one small space: residential, commercial buildings, parks. It’s an interesting dynamic, and that’s the draw,” Kelley says.
1980s condos and single-family homes
Classic ranch-style homes and angular, Contemporary bungalows with dramatic rooflines are common. Most have attached garages, neat front lawns and fenced-in backyards. Prices start at close to $420,000 and rise to around $800,000. Condos in boxy, several-story buildings typically sell for between $115,000 and $250,000. Some complexes, like Imperial Pines, are age-restricted 55-plus communities with amenities like clubhouses and outdoor pools. Northwood’s inland location lessens the risk of flooding, but wind damage is a concern during hurricane season.

Pinellas County Schools, including Lelia Davis Elementary, Safety Harbor Middle and Countryside High, serve Northwood kids.
