Thousand Oaks sits in Palmetto's northern reach, an easy-going Manatee County neighborhood surrounded by the newer master-planned enclaves and older communities that define this part of the county. It's the kind of place where you're a short drive from Artisan Lakes Esplanade and Trevesta, yet close enough to the water and to I-75 that a trip up to downtown Tampa runs about 48 minutes. Families here are assigned to Virgil Mills Elementary, Buffalo Creek Middle, and Palmetto High, and there's a mix of established Palmetto character nearby in spots like the Palmetto Historic District and West Ellenton.
The market here is tight and moves fast. With just 3 active listings and a median 1 day on market, well-priced homes don't sit — over the past year 10 homes sold at a median of $339,500, with sellers netting about 94% of asking. If you're serious, come pre-approved and ready to act, because the window to tour and offer is short.
Thousand Oaks is a community in Palmetto, Florida.
