Bradenton Real Estate
Bradenton is located south of Tampa Bay in Manatee County, borders Sarasota to the north, shares Sarasota Bradenton International Airport with Sarasota and has a population of around 50,000. Bordered by the Manatee River and the Gulf of Mexico, Bradenton offers ideal conditions for water lovers and boat lovers. The Inlets, a Key West-style community, is a boater's paradise and Heritage Harbour's River Strand is an example of a new community that combines the natural beauty of the Manatee River waterfront with the amenities of a golf and country club connects. Thanks to the high quality of living, which is not only due to the many sports facilities and diverse shopping opportunities, Lakewood Ranch is increasingly developing into its own community. Bargain hunters will get their money's worth with a visit to the Prime Outlet Mall and close proximity to University Town Center. Bradenton's pride is the downtown Village of the Arts, where artists live, work and sell their work. The sophisticated South Florida Museum is famous for its longtime manatee mascot "Snooty" and the Bishop Planetarium. A magnet of international importance is the IMG Academy (formerly Nick Bollettieri), where tennis stars such as Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Tommy Haas and Maria Sharapova have trained. This sports academy used to be tennis-only, but now offers golf, baseball, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and track and field training.
Bradenton offers a broad array of residential opportunities including golf course community living, condos, single-family enclaves and luxurious waterfront homes; many budgets can be accommodated with this diverse offering.
