Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater at a Glance

Located on the northwest side of St. Pete, Clearwater International Airport, Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater is the U.S. Coast Guard’s largest and busiest air station. It supports critical operations including search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, counter-narcotics efforts, logistics, and disaster response across the Gulf, Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean.

A PCS to CGAS Clearwater places you centrally within the Clearwater/Tampa Bay region. On-station family housing is limited, so most Coast Guard families opt to live off-base. Housing options include neighborhoods close to the air station, beach communities, waterfront areas, and suburban developments throughout Pinellas County and nearby markets.

Military Relocation Real Estate Co. collaborates with your VA lender to handle all aspects of the purchase, from finding the property to negotiations, inspections, appraisals, and closing.

Looking for New Construction Near Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater?

Tampa Bay continues to present new construction opportunities in various suburban markets, including parts of Palm Harbor, Oldsmar, and nearby Pinellas and Hillsborough communities. Beachside and established Clearwater listings tend to be more limited and often consist of older properties.

For military buyers interested in new construction, it’s important to understand that builders' sales representatives represent the builder’s interests, not yours. Independent real estate representation is invaluable when it comes to comparing builders, communities, incentives, financing options, HOA fees, inspections, and contract terms.
