What Buyers Need to Know

Pinellas County is the most densely populated county in Florida, which means land is scarce and demand stays strong. Dunedin benefits from this — home values tend to hold well because there's simply not much room to build new inventory. The trade-off is that prices per square foot are generally higher than comparable communities in Hillsborough or Pasco counties.

Flood insurance is a real consideration in Pinellas County. Many properties — especially those near the Gulf, on barrier islands, or along bayfront areas — fall in FEMA flood zones that require mandatory flood insurance. Check the FEMA flood map for any property you're considering. Use the mortgage calculator to estimate your full monthly payment including insurance.

Living in Dunedin

Dunedin residents enjoy Gulf Coast living with all the amenities of a metro area. The Pinellas Trail runs through much of the county, providing miles of paved trail for cycling and walking. Beach access is measured in minutes, not hours. Downtown St. Petersburg and Clearwater Beach are both accessible for dining, entertainment, and nightlife.

Schools are served by Pinellas County Schools. Property taxes include both county and municipal levies where applicable. The combination of location, lifestyle, and strong rental demand makes Dunedin attractive to both primary residence buyers and investors.
