East Bradenton offers a wide variety of homes and new developments
East Bradenton, a sprawling community bounded by the Manatee River and a pair of major roads, offers a wide variety of housing options in one of the fastest-growing areas on the Gulf Coast. “It’s a real mixture,” says Greg Owens, a Realtor with TeamWorks at Keller Williams on the Water. “You have more affordable established housing, but you also have acreage homes with a farm and horses. And, of course, you have homes on the river itself. Those tend to be pricier. There are golf course communities. too, and new housing is being developed.”

Peridia Golf & Country Club is the premier golf-course community, while separate 55-plus communities feature traditional single-family homes and manufactured housing.

Interstates and highways to Tampa and Sarasota
East Bradenton stretches from U.S. Highway 301 on the west side to Interstate 75 on the east. An offshoot of the much-busier Tamiami Trail, 301 offers quick and convenient access south to neighboring Sarasota. “I’m a big fan of 301,” says Owens, a former resident of East Bradenton. I-75 provides efficient travel north to St. Petersburg and the Tampa region. The primary retail and dining corridor is State Road 64, also known as Manatee Avenue, which connects directly west to Bradenton’s beaches. Heading east, it provides convenient shopping options such as Publix, Home Depot and Walmart. Along the way is Michael John’s – French-American Steakhouse, a fine-dining brasserie. “Great food, great service,” says Owens. “Just an excellent restaurant. A real discovery.”

Tom Bennett Park combines classic recreation with nature-based activities. Amenities at the 200-acre complex include a disc golf course, fishing pier and nature trail.
