Parrish
Located in Manatee County
Parrish is a sprawling rural neighborhood where commercial developments are still catching up to the steady flow of residential construction. And its location north of the Manatee River makes it a more affordable option compared to nearby neighborhoods. “This is a community where you can get a lot more bang for your buck,” says Myrna Ryan, a local Realtor with Wagner Realty. “The same floor plan of a home in Sarasota would be about $50,000 more expensive than in Parrish.”
Much of Parrish is old cattle land that’s been developed into an eclectic collection of everything from master-planned communities to spacious colonial revivals on multi-acre properties. Stucco ranch and Spanish revival homes are common as well. “You’ll find everything in this area. It’s so eclectic and has so much value,” Ryan says. “Because it’s been rural for so long, new developments are popping up on properties that have been owned for decades.” The median sales price in Parrish is $455,000 and homes tend to sell quickly.
Students in the neighborhood will most likely attend either Annie Lucy Williams Elementary School or Virgil Mills Elementary, followed by Buffalo Creek Middle. The schools were all built in the early 2000s and both elementary schools are highly rated. Annie Lucy Williams Elementary is named after a local teacher whose career extended from the 1930s to the mid-1970s, during which time she fought for racial equality among faculty and students.
Enjoy old Florida in its natural state at the 145-acre Rye Preserve, where you can explore miles of twisting trails, towering trees and rare tortoises. The Edward W. Chance Reserve is another option with converted pastures, wetlands and undisturbed habitats with its own sprawling trail system. Beker State Park is a favorite among birdwatchers and photographers, with plenty of local woodpeckers, scrub-jays and swallow-tailed kite.
While Parrish may be a place of new residential development, the commercial side of things isn’t moving quite as quickly. “With some of these neighborhoods, you’re going to drive for miles to get to any restaurant. Retail is definitely following the new construction so those things are coming but much more slowly,” Ryan says. There are a few options if you’re willing to make the trip, like a Publix on the western edge of the neighborhood to satisfy all your grocery needs. And just a few minutes from there, along Route 301, you’ll find C&K Smokehouse BBQ. This family-owned and operated restaurant serves up country-style barbecue that’s been dry rubbed and slow smoked over oak and citrus. For a tasty snack that comes to you, keep an eye out for the Ryan’s Coffee House food truck, a family-run coffee shop on wheels.
If you’d rather sip on some wine, stop by Bunker Hill Vineyard and Winery for a tasting. This family-owned and operated winery focuses on being as environmentally friendly as possible while producing 40 different kinds of 100% unfiltered, hand-made wines. For some local history, take a ride at the Florida Railroad Museum. Founded in 1981, the museum offers a six-mile round-trip experience to the ghost town of Willow. The non-profit organization also hosts regular events like the Pumpkin Patch Express and North Pole Express. If golf is your game, play a round at The Club at River Wilderness, a semi-private 18-hole championship course with an impressive collection of amenities.
