Coachman Ridge is a neighborhood of 255 single family homes, bound by Old Coachman Road on the west, Northeast Coachman Road on the south and east, and Stag Run Boulevard on the north. The Coachman Ridge subdivision contains almost 102 acres of land, which was first platted in 1981. The major strengths of Coachman Ridge include a location that is convenient to work, schools, shopping, and its close proximity to parks and trails in the surrounding area. It is also a safe and quiet neighborhood with a low crime rate. The neighborhood also has underground utilities (a definite plus), as well as good drainage and very low risk of flooding. The homes are well kept and maintain a varied architectural character.
We have standards and processes that help keep our neighborhood beautiful and our home values up. These include the Coachman Ridge Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD), also know as the Coachman Ridge Special Area Plan, the deed restrictions, and city codes. The homeowners, the Homeowners Association board, and the City of Clearwater work together to maintain the quality of the neighborhood.
Coachman Ridge is proud to be the premier NCOD in the City of Clearwater. The NCOD incorporates the Coachman Ridge deed restrictions into Clearwater's Community Development Code. The city, in partnership with our Homeowners Association, uphold the standards to which Coachman Ridge was built.

Coachman Ridge is a deed restricted neighborhood. This means that there are restrictive covenants written into the deed limiting or restriction the use of real property. These covenants are typically put in place by the original developer and apply to all homeowners. For example, there are minimum lot sizes and minimum square footage for the houses. When enforced, these covenants protect the established character of the neighborhood, thereby protecting quality of life and property values. When you purchase a home in Coachman Ridge, you agree to these covenants.
