Area Description
Bradenton is located on US 41 between Tampa and Sarasota. The area is surrounded by waterways, both fresh and saltwater. Along the Gulf of Mexico and into Tampa Bay are over 20 miles of Florida beaches, many of which are shaded by Australian pines. Bordered on the north by the Manatee River, Bradenton is located on the mainland and is separated from the outer barrier islands of Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key by the Intracoastal Waterway. The eastern side of Bradenton is growing quickly. Most notably is the popular subdivision Lakewood Ranch, which is now becoming a heavily populated part of town. Recently, Bradenton has broke ground on a multi-million dollar downtown museum expansion, there have been over 500 apartment units delivered in the area recently with the development of the Villages of Riverwalk, and there has also been a rise in single-family home construction as well.
