Fresh Water Estates sits in the northern reach of Tarpon Springs, a part of Pinellas County built around lakes, mature trees and low-key residential streets rather than tourist traffic. It's the kind of pocket where neighbors know the crossing guards, the sponge docks of historic Greektown are a short drive, and nearby communities like Pine Ridge At Lake Tarpon and Crescent Oaks set the tone for calm, established living.
For a buyer today, the honest picture is a thin, tightly held market — there are currently no active listings here, so you'll want to watch the live map and be ready to move when something surfaces. Over the last 12 months only six homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $525,000, and sellers collected about 98% of their asking price. If you're comparing options, it's worth keeping an eye on the broader pool of Tarpon Springs homes for sale while you wait for the right fit in this neighborhood.

It's a quiet, established residential neighborhood in northern Tarpon Springs, close to Lake Tarpon and the historic Greektown sponge docks. Families are assigned to Highland Lakes Elementary School, Tarpon Springs Middle and Tarpon Springs High, and the low-traffic streets suit buyers who want calm over commotion.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Over the last 12 months the median sold price was $525,000, which places it in the mid-to-upper range for the Tarpon Springs area. There are no active listings at the moment, so pricing on the next home to hit the market will depend heavily on its condition and lot.

How is the market right now?+
It's a low-inventory, tightly held market — zero active listings and only six sales in the last 12 months. Sellers averaged about 98% of asking, so serious buyers should be prepared to act quickly and offer close to list when a home does come available.

Specific HOA and property-tax figures aren't available for the current listings here since there are none active. Costs will vary by the individual property and any community association, so confirm those numbers on each home before you write an offer.
