West Palm
Coastal living near the Cortez fishing village
West Palm sits in the coastal pocket of Cortez, part of Manatee County's stretch of waterways and harbor-side living close to Anna Maria Island. It's a small, established community where neighborhoods like Sunset Harbor and Harbour Landings Estates carry a quiet, water-oriented character, with Lake Forest Estates and Shorelands rounding out the area's mix of family-friendly streets. Kids here are zoned for Palma Sola Elementary School, W. D. Sugg Middle School, and Manatee High School.
Right now the resale picture is tight: there are no active listings on the market, so buyers should watch the live map and be ready to move when something comes up. Over the last 12 months just 5 homes sold, at a median price of $537,000, with sellers collecting about 95% of asking. That combination of low inventory and steady demand means this is a market where preparation and patience pay off.

How is the market right now?+
Inventory is extremely tight — there are currently zero active listings in the area. Only 5 homes sold over the past 12 months, so buyers should be pre-approved and ready to act quickly when a property lists; the live map is the fastest way to spot one.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA and property-tax figures aren't currently available for this area, in part because so few homes have traded recently. Costs vary by neighborhood — communities like Harbour Landings Estates may carry dues that differ from surrounding streets — so confirm the specifics on any individual home before you write an offer.
