Bradenton, FL
Country Creek
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.

Michael’s Take
No CDD, confirmed against the county roll. No community amenity center; the value here is lot size and a very low fee.
How Country Creek compares
From the county records
$640,000
Median of 32 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $535,000 and $760,000.
89%
Of the 225 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Newest completion recorded 2006. The roll records no completions here in the last three years. Most of what trades is resale, though an absence of recent completions is not by itself proof a community is closed to new building.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Manatee County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $564 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Country Creek sits about 68% below the Bradenton median of $1,783, ranking 3 of the 23 Bradenton communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Country Creek Homeowners Association of Manatee, Inc.
Master associationMatched to Country Creek because: Florida’s Division of Corporations register records this as an ACTIVE not-for-profit corporation, document number N96000005916, filed on 15 November 1996, with its principal address at 2201 Cantu Court, Sarasota, FL 34232. THE ADDRESS IS THE EVIDENCE, NOT THE NAME, and it refused candidates in this batch as well as passing them: a Braden Woods OFFICE PARK association is commercial, a River Place condominium association is registered at ELLENTON rather than Bradenton, and a 1980 Crossings condominium association does not match a Neal Communities neighbourhood of 225 homes. None of those was written.

No officer, director or registered agent is listed here. The corporate register publishes all three by name, and several give a home address; none of that belongs in a public directory of community documents.
Board members and officers are not listed here. They change often, and their names are on the association’s own records and in the state’s corporate filings, which is where they should be read from rather than from a page that cannot keep up.
Country Creek Homeowners Association of Manatee, Inc.
No public documents have been located for this association yet.
Nothing found is not the same as nothing in force. Every community in Florida with an association has governing documents; this says only that they have not been found in a public place.
The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Country Creek FAQ
What kind of homes are in Country Creek?+
Country Creek offers single-family. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
What amenities does Country Creek have?+
Country Creek offers Large lots, Deed-restricted, No CDD. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
What have homes in Country Creek actually sold for?+
32 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Country Creek since October 2023, at a median of $640,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $535,000 and $760,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Manatee County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in Country Creek year round?+
89% of the 225 matched residential units in Country Creek claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Manatee County roll in October 2026. That reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
Is Country Creek still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Country Creek was completed in 2006, across 250 platted parcels of which 225 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Country Creek in the last three years, so what trades is resale. An absence of recent completions is not by itself proof that no further building is permitted. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Does Country Creek have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Country Creek has an HOA fee estimated at $528 - $600 yearly, and the fee data for this community records no CDD assessment. A community development district bills through your property taxes rather than through the association, and its assessment can carry two separate components: debt service, which repays the bonds that funded roads, drainage and amenities, and an operations and maintenance charge, which does not end with the bonds. A community without a district avoids both as currently assessed. Figures are estimates, assessments are set annually, and both vary by home and phase, so confirm them for the specific address before relying on them.
What flood zone is Country Creek in?+
The flood zone recorded for Country Creek is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
