Does the "all-inclusive" rate at The Oaks of Clearwater cover dining?
Yes! Our lifestyle includes chef-prepared meals daily. When you factor in the rising cost of groceries and dining out in Clearwater, this provides significant monthly savings. For more insights, use our Cost Calculator tool to help plan your future.
Will I be hit with hidden fees for activities or amenities?
No. We believe in transparency. Your monthly fee covers your apartment, utilities, maintenance, and the vast majority of our on-site social programming.
How does the cost of The Oaks of Clearwater compare to a standard Clearwater rental?
A standard rental only gives you four walls. The Oaks of Clearwater provides your food, your transportation, your utilities, your maintenance, and 24-hour security. When you add those up, the value of our community is unmatched.
Can I keep my car if I’m not ready to go car-free?
Absolutely! While many find our transportation and walkability mean they don’t need a car, we provide parking for residents who still enjoy the freedom of the open road.
Is there a massive "buy-in" fee?
The Oaks of Clearwater operates on a rental model. This means you keep control of your assets and equity rather than handing over a six-figure entry fee, providing you with more liquidity and freedom.
