Clearwater Beach Condos for Sale

This search shows condos for sale on Clearwater Beach, the barrier island in ZIP 33767. It runs from North Beach and the Pier 60 area to Island Estates off the causeway, and south across Clearwater Pass to Sand Key. It's condos only. For houses and townhomes on the island, see homes for sale on Clearwater Beach. For the mainland, use homes for sale in Clearwater, FL.

Where on the beach to look

• North Beach: the northern part of the island.
• Pier 60 area: the central part of the beach around Pier 60.
• Island Estates: a neighborhood off the causeway on the bay side.
• Sand Key: south of Clearwater Pass. Some Sand Key listings show the MLS city as Clearwater, not Clearwater Beach. This search includes them.

Beachfront, bayside or walk to the beach?

All three show up in this search. Beachfront buildings sit on the Gulf. Bayside buildings sit on the bay side. If you want a boat slip, ask whether one comes with the unit. Walk-to-beach condos sit a short walk from the sand. A building with Gulf in its name doesn't promise a water view. Read the listing and see the unit in person.

What to check on any Clearwater Beach condo

Florida law currently requires extra inspections and reserve studies for many condo buildings. Here's what we'll go over together before you make an offer:

• Association documents. The declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and recent board minutes. They tell you about fees, pets, leasing and planned projects.
• Milestone inspections. Florida requires periodic structural inspections for condo buildings three habitable stories or taller, starting at a set building age and repeating every 10 years. Local officials can require them earlier for buildings near salt water. Ask whether the building has had one and what it found.
• Structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) and reserves. Many condo associations in buildings three habitable stories or taller must have a SIRS done at least every 10 years and fund reserves for key structural items. Ask for the latest study, the reserve balance and any special assessments. My guide to Pinellas condo SIRS, reserves and assessments walks through it.
• Flood zone. Flood risk can vary from one address to the next. Look up the unit's address on the FEMA flood map lookup and ask about the association's flood policy and your own coverage.
• Rental rules. If you want to rent the unit out, the association's rules and the city's zoning both matter. The City of Clearwater says short-term rentals are not permitted in residential zoning districts. In these districts, rentals must be for periods of 31 days or one calendar month whichever is less. The city may also require a residential rental business tax receipt. Check the parcel's zoning and the association's rules before you count on rental income.
