NEIGHBORHOOD SPOTLIGHT

River Pointe of Manatee By: Stephanie Okuley, Realtor®, Michael Saunders & Company

E

njoy the Florida boating lifestyle without the price! One of Manatee County’s hidden gems, the well-established River Pointe community boasts great value nestled along the intersection of the Braden and Manatee Rivers. Take a ride via car, bike, or golf cart, and you will find a very active community of families and professionals. Residents take advantage of the beautiful setting and you’ll routinely see morning dog walkers, couples walking on their lunch break, and kids playing after school. Mature oaks and street lamps lead to a private boat ramp and fishing dock. This boating community offers several different backyard lots. Options include preserve views, lake views that are perfect for bird watching, and fresh or saltwater canals.

Single-family homes originally built by Centex Homes offer desirable split floor plans and most homes feature 10-foot ceilings and spacious lanais. Prices range from the mid $300s for a 3-bedroom home to the $700s for waterfront homes. River Pointe has extremely low HOA fees of just $277 semi-annually and elevations allow for low flood insurance rates for those homes requiring it. The community is centrally located with close proximity to I-75, making any commute a breeze, and its just a short ride to Anna Maria beaches and the Gulf of Mexico. Traveling by boat, there are many waterfront restaurants to enjoy dinner and the beautiful sunset. For young families, there are great schools nearby such as Bashaw Elementary, Haile Middle, and Braden River High School. This diverse community truly offers something for everyone and at a great value! •
