Fresh Water Estates sits in the northern reaches of Pinellas County, a low-key residential pocket within Tarpon Springs that trades on space and calm rather than flash. You're close to Lake Tarpon and established neighborhoods like Pine Ridge At Lake Tarpon and Sunset Hills, with the sponge docks and restaurants of the historic Greektown waterfront a short drive away. Families here are zoned to Highland Lakes Elementary School, and Tampa International Airport is about 40 minutes down the road.
This is a small, tightly held market — only two homes are active right now, so inventory moves fast. The median list price is $524,900 and homes are going under contract in a median of about 5.5 days, with sellers pulling roughly 98% of asking. If you're serious, keep an eye on the live map and be ready to act when something lists.

Fresh Water Estates FAQs
Is Fresh Water Estates a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, residential slice of Tarpon Springs close to Lake Tarpon and established communities like Sunset Hills. Families are drawn to the school assignments — Highland Lakes Elementary, Tarpon Springs Middle, and Tarpon Springs High — and the sponge docks of Greektown are a short drive away. It suits buyers who want space and calm over walkable density.
Is Fresh Water Estates expensive?+
It's mid-range for the north Pinellas area, with a median list price of $524,900 and homes averaging about $304 per square foot. Active listings currently span from $299,900 to $749,900, so there's some range depending on size and features. There are no homes over $1M on the market right now.
What do homes cost in Fresh Water Estates?+
The median home runs about 1,700 square feet, and over the last 12 months six homes sold at a median price of $525,000. That closely tracks the current median list price of $524,900, so pricing has been steady. Expect roughly $304 per square foot as a working benchmark.
How is the market right now?+
It's fast and competitive on very thin supply — just two homes are active, and the median time to contract is about 5.5 days. Sellers are getting around 98% of asking on average, so lowball offers rarely land. You can track new listings on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA costs are negligible here — the median is about $2/month, so budget accordingly. Property taxes run a median of roughly $5,021 per year. Compared to many gated Tarpon Springs communities, that's a light monthly carrying cost.
