NEIGHBORHOOD SPOTLIGHT
The Harborage at Braden River By: Cassie Yeager, Realtor®, The Fleming Group, Fine Properties
T
ucked away off of State Road 70 in Bradenton on the bank of its’ beautiful namesake river, The Harborage at Braden River is a stunning Key Westinspired community in South Manatee County. This small community includes 50 single-family homes, 96 condominiums, and 87 townhomes situated on gorgeous Magnolia tree-lined streets, with beautifully manicured lawns, and mature landscaping. With old-fashioned lanterns lighting your path at night, it genuinely feels like taking a stroll through time in Old Florida. Secluded by a river to the east, SR-70 to the north, Natalie Way to the west, and City property to the south, it is unlikely any development could occur nearby, maintaining the tranquil setting that Neal Communities’ designers intended in 2006 when the project broke ground. Residents can enjoy the Florida lifestyle by swimming in the resort-style pool or soaking in the hot tub overlooking the preserve. Residents may hike on the meandering nature trails leading to the private
“Johns Island” and enjoy views of the Braden River, and Ward Lake. The community kayak/canoe launch on the river provides access to miles and miles of river adventures. Fishing is available off a private pier where manatees can often be spotted. The private marina has 17 rental boat slips with electric lifts that will support a boat 25-foot tip to tip under 5,000 lbs. and provides direct Gulf of Mexico boating access! The Harborage is centrally located to both Manatee and Sarasota County attractions, and a short drive to shopping, University Town Center, Lakewood Ranch, I-75, The Braden River Walk, Manatee Library, and Downtown Bradenton. Bradenton beach is a quick 12 miles away, making this community a true Floridian dream come true!
