In Bradenton, there is an island neighborhood where home buyers can still find waterfront properties with spectacular views at affordable prices.

Perico Bay Club is located on the western end of Manatee Avenue, right before Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island. This neighborhood lies at the tip of a small peninsula, just south of the Perico Bayou. This prime geographic location means that most properties have views of the bayou, Palma Sola Bay or Neal Preserve.

If you are looking for a single-family home, a seaside villa or a condominium unit, you are likely to find it at Perico Bay Club; however, you may need to work closely with a seasoned real estate professional to get exactly what you are looking for. This is a very appealing community, which means that listings tend to draw a lot of attention from prospective buyers.

Homeowners at the Perico Bay Club enjoy sharing the island with coastal wildlife such as dolphins, manatees, ospreys, and egrets. There are more than a dozen neighborhoods here, and each of them enjoys lakes, ponds, canals, lagoons, and even their own swimming pool. For even more amenities, the Perico Bay Clubhouse tennis and shuffleboard courts as well as a larger swimming pool.

Pricing at Perico Bay Club will depend on the neighborhood and the lifestyle desired. Condominium units and villas may start as low as $150K; a 2,366 square feet, three-bedroom and two-bathroom single-family home with a view of Palma Sola Bay can be negotiated under $480K.

Beach and nature lovers are the most likely candidates to close on Perico Bay Club real estate purchase. There are two nature preserves within walking distance, Neal and Robinson, which combined take up more than 800 acres of Florida mangrove forest. The pristine beaches of Anna Maria Island are within bike riding distance, and there is even a free shuttle for residents.
