Bradenton Homes for Sale & Communities

A bundled-golf community inside the Heritage Harbour master plan east of I-75, platted across 76 phases of coach homes, terraces, villas and single-family houses, with 750 of them on the county roll built between 2009 and 2016. Golf is 27 holes by Arthur Hills, and membership is not optional here, it is built into the dues, which is why the HOA looks high next to its neighbors. What that buys is a 39,000 square foot clubhouse with formal and casual dining and a Tiki Bar, nine Har-Tru tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a fitness center with an aerobics room, and nine pools across the community including a resort pool, a resistance pool and a heated spa. Forty-four percent of the houses back onto the golf course.

The only community in this set with its own marina. Waterlefe sits on the Manatee River east of I-75, 471 houses on the county roll built between 2000 and 2005, and the golf course runs 172 acres with five holes that touch the river. The Marina Club keeps 59 slips on the Manatee itself, sized 20 to 29 feet, with direct Gulf access, so a boat can be in open water the same morning. The River Club clubhouse is the social center, with fine dining over the water, a pro shop and a grill room. Beyond that: a saltwater resort pool, a Tiki Bar, a fitness center, pickleball, walking trails and a playground, plus an aquatic driving range with targets set out in the water. Twenty-seven percent of homes are waterfront and ninety percent have a private pool, the highest combination of the two anywhere in Bradenton.

A gated golf community west of Lakewood Ranch, 1,338 houses on the county roll across 20 plats, the bulk built from the mid-1990s through 2020, centerd on an 18-hole par-72 championship course. The clubhouse covers dining before and after a round, and the amenity set runs to a community pool, a fitness center with an aerobics room, five tennis courts and a practice facility with a driving range, putting green and a bunker and chipping area, staffed by PGA professionals. Twenty-two percent of houses front the course and just over half have a private pool. There is no CDD, confirmed against the county roll, which is what keeps its total carrying cost below the bundled-golf communities east of the interstate.

A golf community west of I-75 with a genuinely different product from its neighbors: the course is an 18-hole par-60 executive layout, originally by William Luis and since redesigned by Jed Azinger and Gordon Lewis, not a championship course. That is the reason Peridia delivers bundled golf at a fraction of what River Strand costs, because membership is included in the HOA fees. The roll counts 479 houses, villas and condominiums built between 1987 and 1997, 38% of them on the golf course. The renovated clubhouse holds the Terrace on the Green restaurant with a bar and tiki bar, Friday entertainment and a Sunday brunch, plus a pro shop, tennis and pickleball courts, a swimming pool, a driving range and practice greens. No CDD.

A member-owned private club community west of I-75, 748 houses on the county roll built between 1989 and 2005, with a 120-acre par-72 championship course built to USGA standards. The structure is the thing to understand: membership comes in two classes, Class A carrying full golf and clubhouse privileges and Class B covering the clubhouse, pool, fitness center and tennis with golf at guest rates. Which class attaches to a given home changes the annual cost materially. The southern-style clubhouse runs six dining venues and a Sunday brunch open to the public, alongside a fitness center, steam room, spa, saunas, card room and pro shop, with a renovated pool, two renovated tennis courts, bocce and pickleball outside. Forty-seven percent of houses front the golf course.

A 950-acre established community along the Braden River just west of Lakewood Ranch, 828 houses on the county roll built between 1992 and 2004, and the one where the golf is genuinely optional. The 18-hole Ron Garl course is semi-private and open to the public, and residents join only if they want to, which makes River Club one of the most accessible golf addresses in east Bradenton rather than one of the most expensive. It also has the largest houses of any community tracked here, a median of about 3,156 square feet, on lots from half an acre up, and ninety percent of them have a private pool. The clubhouse handles dining, a full pro shop and banquet space, with tennis courts, a community pool and walking paths through the river corridor.

A 960-acre gated community northeast of Bradenton, and bigger than it is usually described: the county roll counts 1,259 houses across ten platted phases, built between 2003 and 2019. Two separate clubhouses and pool complexes serve it, one of them with a lagoon-style pool and waterslides, and the recreation center adds a third pool alongside basketball, tennis and pickleball courts. There are baseball and soccer fields, playgrounds, stocked fishing lakes and about five miles of walking and biking trail. The point worth understanding is what the CDD actually pays for here: the 24-hour manned gate, both clubhouses, the pool complex, the fitness center, the sports courts and the roads. Sixty-one percent of houses have a private pool as well.

An established east Manatee neighborhood of 916 houses on the county roll across ten platted phases, built from 1988 through 2014, and one of the last places in the area where acre-plus lots are ordinary rather than exceptional. Median house is about 2,432 square feet and 78% have a private pool, which is what you would expect where lots are this size. It is deed-restricted but not gated, with a community park and playground rather than a clubhouse, and there is no CDD. The HOA is $535 to $660 a year, and that low figure is the honest trade for a short amenity list.

Wooded, large-lot and quiet: 480 houses on the county roll across six platted phases, built between 1983 and 1994 in northeast Bradenton, with the Braden River running through. Early phases carry acre-plus lots and later ones half an acre up, a median house around 2,164 square feet, and 70% have their own pool. The shared amenities are modest and that is the point, a clubhouse, a heated pool, tennis, volleyball, covered gazebos and a barbecue area, for a $192 to $522 annual HOA and no CDD. It is the cheapest carrying cost of any community tracked in Bradenton.

A gated D.R. Horton community northeast of Bradenton, 607 houses on the county roll built between 2015 and 2019, which makes it one of the newest neighborhoods in the area and one of the few of this size with no CDD at all. Plans run three to five bedrooms with a median around 2,358 square feet. The amenity set is deliberately simple, a resort-style heated pool, a clubhouse, a fitness center and a playground, and only 20% of houses have a private pool, so the community pool is the center of things. The combination of recent construction, a gate and a $1,320 to $1,620 annual HOA with no district assessment is the reason it draws the value-conscious buyer.

A gated Neal Communities neighborhood north of State Road 70, 330 houses on the county roll built between 2010 and 2015, organized into neighborhoods named for American parks. Everything here points at one place: a 10-acre recreation park with an adventure playground, a children's splash park and pavilion, tennis courts, a ball field big enough for baseball, soccer or football, two separate dog parks, a butterfly garden and walking and biking trails. It is a family and dog community rather than a golf one, and only 41% of houses have a private pool because the park does the work.

View community →

A single-phase neighborhood of 207 houses on the county roll built between 1998 and 2001, beside a public golf course that 24% of the homes front without carrying a club membership to do it. Median house is about 1,769 square feet, over half with a private pool. No CDD and a $485 to $510 annual HOA, which is among the lowest carrying costs in Bradenton for a golf-adjacent address.

A Medallion Home neighborhood of 246 houses on the county roll across two platted phases, built between 2006 and 2013, and the largest houses of any non-golf community tracked here at a median of about 2,772 square feet. Ninety percent have a private pool, the highest share in Bradenton outside Waterlefe and Hawthorn Park, which tells you what kind of lots these are. No CDD, and an HOA of $630 to $1,188 covering common grounds rather than a clubhouse.

View community →

A small established neighborhood of 225 houses on the county roll across three platted phases, built between 1998 and 2004 east of I-75, on lots large enough that 86% of the houses have their own pool. Median house is about 2,434 square feet. There is no clubhouse and no CDD, and the HOA is $528 to $600 a year, which is the trade: acreage and privacy instead of amenities.

View community →

A single-phase neighborhood of 69 houses on the county roll, built in 2004 and 2005, with a median house around 2,154 square feet and just over half carrying a private pool. Small enough that the association is a short list of neighbors, with a flat $616 annual HOA and no CDD.

A gated community of approximately 270 single-family homes on the Braden River, built between 2002 and 2005. Some homes are directly on the riverbank or canals with private docks. Clubhouse with gathering area, game and media rooms, fitness center, lakeside pool, and nature trails.

A master-planned community along the Manatee River east of I-75, and more accurately an umbrella over three distinct neighborhoods: River Strand, Stoneybrook and Lighthouse Cove, each with its own association, its own fees and its own amenity package. There are two golf courses inside it, not one, a private 27-hole Arthur Hills layout at River Strand and an 18-hole course at Stoneybrook. The shared centerpiece is a 39,000 square foot clubhouse with dining, a large fitness center, a resort-style pool and eight Har-Tru tennis courts, and the master plan adds a 70-acre lake, sports fields, trails and a riverfront kayak launch. Establish which neighborhood a listing sits in before quoting anything, because the three are not interchangeable.

The earlier and more modest of Heritage Harbour's golf neighborhoods, 123 houses on the county roll built in 2004 and 2005, and the one where golf comes without a bundled-membership premium. Its own 12,000 square foot clubhouse anchors a junior Olympic pool, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, sand volleyball and a dog park, with an 18-hole course, a 70-acre fishing lake and soccer and baseball fields alongside. Fifty-two percent of the houses sit on the golf course, the highest share in Bradenton.

The attainable corner of Heritage Harbour: 241 townhomes, condominiums and single-family houses built between 2004 and 2008, with access to the master plan's Central Park and recreation amenities rather than a clubhouse of its own. The trade is deliberate, and it shows in the numbers, a $508 to $548 annual HOA and a flat $806 CDD, which together are a fraction of what River Strand costs a few streets away. Only 14% of homes have a private pool, so the community pool does the work.

A sub-community of approximately 199 single-family homes within Heritage Harbour, built by Neal Communities between 2016 and 2021. Typically larger three- to five-bedroom floor plans. Community pool and cabana, plus full access to Heritage Harbour's golf, fitness, and riverfront amenities.

A D.R. Horton Express Series neighborhood inside the Heritage Harbour master plan in Bradenton, which the builder lists as coming soon.

Homes are concrete block on both floors with quartz counters, a full appliance package including laundry and D.R. Horton's smart home system. Westhaven has its own residents-only pool and dog park, and the builder says owners also use Heritage Harbour's existing amenities.

A historic waterfront neighborhood on Palma Sola Bay in northwest Bradenton, with homes dating from 1949 through the 2000s. Architectural diversity ranges from original Spanish-style manors and Florida ranch homes to contemporary waterfront mansions. The 10-acre Palma Sola Botanical Park sits within the neighborhood. Marina with Intracoastal access; some homes have private docks.

A west Bradenton community off 75th Street West at Cortez Road, 546 single-family houses, villas and condominiums built between 2006 and 2014, and the closest of these communities to Anna Maria Island and the Gulf beaches. The clubhouse is the social center, with a gathering room, a lending library, a catering kitchen, a Nautilus fitness room and a tot lot, wrapped around a lagoon-style pool heated year round. Its CDD is a City of Bradenton district covering about 104 acres, and it pays for something specific: the ponds, the street lighting, the bridge, the perimeter wall and the emergency gates. Only 10% of homes have a private pool, the lowest share in Bradenton, so this is a community pool neighborhood by design.

Bradenton's riverfront corridor along the Manatee River, oak-lined streets of riverfront estates, midcentury ranch homes, and custom properties. One of the area's most established neighborhoods, with boating and fishing access throughout. Prices range from $500K inland to $5M+ on the riverfront.

Median house is about 2,516 square feet. A small, quiet, deed-restricted community with no CDD and a $1,700 to $1,750 annual HOA, where the private lot rather than a shared amenity deck is the whole proposition.

The residential side of the same gated 1,000-acre community as University Park Country Club, north of University Parkway and a mile from University Town Center.

The county roll counts 1,199 houses across 39 plats, built mostly between 1993 and 2007, with a median of about 2,706 square feet and 77% carrying a private pool.

Membership is available to homeowners rather than compulsory. There is no CDD, which is unusual for a community this size and amenity-heavy, and it is confirmed against the county roll.

Median house is about 2,552 square feet and 75% have a private pool. Amenities are the practical kind rather than the resort kind: a community pool, a river park with a canoe and kayak launch on the Braden River, and walking paths. No CDD, and a $1,156 to $1,416 annual HOA.

A 1,300-acre community along University Parkway built on the site of the historic DeSoto Lakes Golf Club, 201 houses on the county roll across nine plats from the 1990s, alongside villas and condominiums.
