Bradenton offers a friendly, relaxed community spirit with beautiful waterways and a true sense of Florida charm.
Bradenton is the county seat of Manatee County on Florida's Gulf Coast and the county's main commercial and civic center. The Manatee River runs through the area on its way to Tampa Bay, and Manatee County sits between the Tampa and Sarasota areas, with easy access to both.
Downtown Bradenton centers on the Riverwalk, a waterfront stretch along the Manatee River with a walking path, parks, restaurants, shops and public art. The South Florida Museum and ArtCenter Manatee are downtown. The nearby Village of the Arts is a walkable district of galleries, studios, cafes and unique shops.
Beyond downtown, Manatee County offers Gulf beaches on Anna Maria Island, plus places like Robinson Preserve and De Soto National Memorial for hiking, kayaking, fishing and wildlife viewing. The northern end of Longboat Key is also reached from the Bradenton area.
Homes in and around Bradenton include riverfront properties along the Manatee River, canal-front homes with Gulf access, and inland neighborhoods.
