Quick drives to Clearwater and Dunedin conveniences from Sunset Lake Estates

Sunset Lake Estates may be in Clearwater, but this community of mostly midcentury homes is close enough to Dunedin that residents enjoy the benefits of both North Pinellas County gulf-front cities. “Believe it or not, a lot of Pinellas County is suburban,” says longtime local Joe Koebel, a Realtor with RE/MAX Realtec Group. “And what you have here are wider lots, a nice area and location and a younger demographic coming in, fixing it up and having a nice life.”
