Types of apartment in Clearwater, FL

Clearwater apartments range from older low-rise buildings near Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach to newer garden-style apartments in Countryside and along Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Many exteriors use stucco, light paint, open breezeways, and simple balconies. Near Island Estates and Sand Key, apartments often sit in mid-rise buildings with parking under the structure and wider terraces. In North Greenwood and parts of central Clearwater, houses for rent include ranch and Florida bungalow styles with carports, block walls, and small porches.

South and east of Downtown, in areas near Belleair Road, Drew Street, and Coachman Ridge, apartments often come in larger complexes with surface parking, pools, and shared laundry or in-unit washers and dryers. Older apartments can have smaller kitchens, lower ceilings, and fewer closets. Newer apartments often add open layouts and screened patios, but they can sit farther from the water and beach routes. Houses for rent in these areas often have fenced yards, single-story layouts, and more storage, but exterior upkeep can vary more than in apartment communities.

Getting around Clearwater, FL

PSTA, the county bus service, covers Clearwater with routes through Downtown Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Countryside, and along Gulf to Bay Boulevard.

Walking works better in Downtown Clearwater and on Cleveland Street. Biking can be useful on the Pinellas Trail and flatter local streets.
