Samoset, an established residential neighborhood conveniently located between Bradenton and East Bradenton, offers attractively priced housing for experienced homebuyers and those new to the market.

Housing in the community typically ranges from the mid $100,000s to the low $300,000s. “It’s great for investment opportunities or first-time homebuyers,” says Avian French, a Realtor with Keller Williams On The Water. Made up primarily of established homes, newer custom homes have begun to pop up in recent years. “It’s a mixed neighborhood,” says French. “You have the older homes and newer homes as far as individual properties. “There are houses built in the 1960s and some built in the 2000s.” Most of the established homes occupy spacious lots, which leave room for sizable yards. Newer homes tend to be built on smaller lots. Private driveways are a standard feature throughout the neighborhood, and carports are more common than garages.

Samoset also includes several amenities-filled manufactured home communities. Casa Loma is an all-ages, deed-restricted community where homeowners also own the lots. Golf Lakes is a 55-plus community that features a 9-hole golf course and two dozen lighted shuffleboard courts among its array of amenities. Homes in both communities typically range from around $100,000 to the low $200,000s.

The neighborhood is home to a trio of public schools, including William Monroe Rowlett Academy for Arts and Communication, a high-performing charter school that serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Graduates can attend Southeast High, an International Baccalaureate school with a rich sports tradition. Several former students have gone on to play professional sports, including eight in the NFL. The other school is Samoset Elementary, which features an arts and music program that begins in kindergarten.

Much of Samoset is bounded by U.S. Route 301 and U.S. Route 41, also known as Tamiami Trail, the Gulf Coast’s primary retail and dining corridor. Both roads provide direct access south to neighboring Sarasota, although 301 is the less-trafficked of the two. Tamiami Trail also runs north through greater Bradenton and into Tampa. Retail and dining options are concentrated along Tamiami Trail on the neighborhood’s west side. Acapulco Tropical Supermarkets is a recently renovated independent grocer with a popular buffet located in the DeSoto Junction Shopping Center, and Sprouts Farmers Market anchors the Cortez Plaza. Highly rated neighborhood eateries include Sam’s Seafood & Grill and Food+Beer, a popular sports bar. Residents also have access to a movie theater and a Walmart Supercenter on the other side of the neighborhood along 301.

Surrounded by the manufactured home communities is the Greens of Manatee, a daily-fee executive golf course. The 18-hole, par-61 layout stretches for more than 3,500 yards. Less than 3 miles away in neighboring East Bradenton is River Run, a links-style municipal course along the Braden River. In fall 2024, residents will have access to an array of upgraded amenities at nearby John H. Marble Park. The 7-acre complex will reopen after undergoing almost $20,000 in upgrades. When it reopens, it will include an expanded gymnasium, extended pool deck and a new splash pad. Existing athletic courts and maintenance/storage buildings will be removed to make room for more green space and new, ADA-compliant pathways.
