Jessie P. Miller Elementary School

It's a solid pick for buyers who want central Bradenton convenience with a residential feel, close to downtown and the Manatee River. Families also value staying in the broader network that includes Manatee High School. With 111 homes sold in the past year, it's an established, well-traded area.

The median list price is $412,000 and the median sold price over the last year was $375,000, which is approachable for the Bradenton area. That said, the range is wide — from $75,000 up to $3,390,000 — so your budget can stretch a long way or aim high depending on the property.

Expect to pay around $312 per square foot, with a median home size near 1,622 square feet. Five of the current 35 listings are priced above $1 million, so the luxury tier is real but small; most inventory clusters closer to that $412,000 median.

It's active and reasonably quick — homes are selling in a median of 24 days and sellers are getting about 96% of their asking price. With 35 active listings and 111 sales in the past year, there's steady turnover and enough choice to negotiate.

The median HOA runs about $213 per month, though many homes in this central zone carry no HOA at all. Median property tax is around $3,261 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is about $2,550 per month.
