Bradenton, FL
Palm Aire
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. Two 18-hole championship courses, the Champions and the Lakes, have both been renovated recently, and the club adds eight Har-Tru tennis courts with six lit for evening play, pickleball, a driving range, a fitness center, a junior Olympic pool and a 25,000 square foot clubhouse. Membership is optional and sold in five tiers, so residents can take as much or as little of the club as they want, and there is no CDD.

These two figures are 89% apart. These two figures count different things and have not been reconciled. The roll counts parcels inside the boundary matched to this name; the community figure may cover plats the roll matched separately, or an association roster. Neither is presented here as the size of the community.

No CDD, confirmed against the county roll. Membership is optional across five tiers, so two neighboring homes can carry very different annual costs. HOA range not yet published.

Median of 248 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $215,000 and $670,000.
60%
Of the 1,889 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Newest completion recorded 2016. 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.
Golf here is Palm Aire Country Club, a private club. Membership structure and any fees are on its page.

None of those was written.

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.

Palm Aire FAQ
What kind of homes are in Palm Aire?+
Palm Aire offers single-family, villas and condominiums. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. 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.
Is golf membership required at Palm Aire?+
Golf is central to Palm Aire, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. The course here is Palm Aire Country Club, which is private. Membership structures vary: some are required with the home, some optional, some sold separately to non-residents, and some carry a waiting list. Confirm which applies to the specific address, and the current dues, directly with the club before relying on it.
What amenities does Palm Aire have?+
Palm Aire offers Two 18-hole championship courses, Champions and Lakes, Eight Har-Tru tennis courts, six lighted, Pickleball courts, Driving range, 25,000 sq ft clubhouse with dining, among others. 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 Palm Aire actually sold for?+
248 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Palm Aire since October 2023, at a median of $400,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $215,000 and $670,000, 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 Palm Aire year round?+
60% of the 1,889 matched residential units in Palm Aire 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 Palm Aire still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Palm Aire was completed in 2016, across 2,035 platted parcels of which 1,889 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Palm Aire 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.
