The Emma E. Booker Elementary attendance zone sits within University Park in Manatee County, close enough to the Sarasota-Bradenton area's coastal draw while keeping an everyday, lived-in feel. It's a genuinely mixed pocket — 16 waterfront listings, 34 gated options, 32 with pools, and 25 new-construction homes are on the market right now, so the character shifts block to block. That range is part of the appeal: buyers here aren't locked into a single style or price point.

The market reality backs that up. With 168 active listings and a median list price of $339,990, there's real selection, and prices stretch from entry-level condos near $42,000 up to $22 million estates. Homes are taking a median 55 days to sell, and sellers are collecting about 95% of asking — a market with negotiating room but not a fire sale. Start with University Park homes for sale or scan the live map to see how the segments cluster.
