West Ellenton sits on the Palmetto side of Manatee County, close enough to the Manatee River and I-75 that a run into downtown Tampa is about 45 minutes. It's a stretch that mixes newer master-planned living at Artisan Lakes Esplanade and Trevesta with the character of the Palmetto Historic District and long-standing spots like Tropic Isles Mobile Home Estates. Families are drawn to the assigned schools — Palm View K-8, James Tillman Elementary Magnet, Lincoln Memorial Middle and Palmetto High.
For buyers, this is a market with real inventory and room to negotiate. There are 36 active listings with a median list price of $391,656, and homes are taking a median of 88 days to sell — slower than the frenzy years, which works in your favor. With 22 of those actives being new construction, you have genuine choice between builder-fresh and established resale.
West Ellenton is a community in Palmetto, Florida.
