Bayfront living by IMG Academy in El Conquistador
El Conquistador is a collection of suburbs in a sought-after location on Sarasota Bay, south of Bradenton. The neighborhood is named for its main thoroughfare, El Conquistador Parkway. It features waterfront homes and properties with fairway views. “It’s a quieter part of town because it’s primarily residential,” says local Stephen Arters, a Realtor with Fine Properties. “It’s desirable because you have golf courses nearby and IMG Academy right there.” The world-famous IMG Academy campus stretches into El Conquistador, with its golf club headquartered on the community’s south side. Residents enjoy proximity to ample shopping, dining, entertainment and recreation with Downtown Bradenton and Bradenton Beach within a 10-mile drive.

HOA-managed subdivisions with diverse property options
El Conquistador’s HOA-managed subdivisions – such as The Esplanade on the Bay, a gated community – were developed between 1970 and 2000. Prices begin with multifamily properties, from villas with fairway views to bayfront penthouses. Units located inland range from the high $100,000s to the mid $400,000s, and those along Sarasota Bay range from the high $400,000s to the mid $800,000s. Single-family properties, which range from quaint, single-story Spanish Revivals to contemporary, multi-floor estates, typically list between the high $500,000s and $1 million. Luxury properties facing the bay range from just over $1 million to almost $5 million. El Conquistador is a coastal community, so it’s more vulnerable to extreme weather like hurricanes. Flood insurance will be required to obtain federal mortgages for most properties in the neighborhood.
