Over 154,000 residents, and 23% of them are seniors living their best-soaked lives. Over 35,000 older adults said yes to the Gulf Coast breeze and good weather. Their life is one long vacation, but with no checkout time and better healthcare.
Clearwater is more than pretty beaches and palm trees. It feels like heaven for retirees looking to stay social, active, and relaxed. This city is peppered with popular 55+ communities such as Village on the Green, On Top of the World Clearwater, and Imperial Cove.

Let’s not forget the artsy, coastal charm. Imagine daily sunsets at Pier 60 waterfront dining and a city that embraces both the relaxed vibe and the feeling of connection. It’s no wonder why so many retirees choose Clearwater—it’s a place to glow.
