Living in Bradenton waterfront
Bradenton sits on the Manatee River, with waterfront neighborhoods along the river, Palma Sola Bay and Perico Bayou. It is the gateway to Anna Maria Island and offers more space and value than the beaches.
Luxury buyers look at riverfront estates, bayfront homes with deep-water docks and homes in Northwest Bradenton a short drive to the island. Downtown Bradenton's Riverwalk has parks, a farmers market and dining.
