New Homes In Palmetto, FL

Close to St Pete, Ana Maria Beach, Sarasota, and Tampa, Palmetto puts you close to anything you'd like to explore! There are many trails and preserves. And, nearby world-class beaches include Anna Maria Island (9 miles), and the #1-rated Siesta Key beach is a short 16-mile drive away.  The Palmetto Living Seawall Park provides a fishing pier (the old Green Bridge) and a public boat ramp. There are parks for hiking, playgrounds, skate parks, and more. Here are some of our favorites: Sutton Park, Bradenton Riverwalk, Emerson Point Park, and Robinson Preserve, to name a few.

The mile-wide Manatee River offers great fishing, boating, paddling, and restaurants along its 36-mile trek from upper Northern Manatee county to the Gulf. You'll often spot dolphins, manatees, horseshoe crabs, and stingrays too! Boaters will love being able to get to Egmont Key or Beans Point at the End of Ana Maria or eat at all the waterfront restaurants. You don't have to live on the Manatee River to enjoy its tranquil pleasures. Public parks offer plenty of access.

With a rich history and old Florida charm, Palmetto is surrounded by Terra Ceia Bay and the Manatee River's waters. It was first settled in 1868 by Samuel Sparks Lamb, a merchant from South Carolina - the Palmetto State.

There are over 200 historic buildings in the district, most single-family homes. The district also contains Palmetto Historical Park, located at the southwest corner of 10th Avenue West and 6th Street West, which features several historic buildings. Notable are Heritage Station, Palmetto's first free-standing post office, built-in 1880; the Cottage Museum in a turn-of-the-century cottage; the Cypress House, which hosts a military Museum; and the 1914 Carnegie Library, one of the first libraries built in South Florida.

Creative attention to detail in preserving history is prevalent throughout the historic district.

Bradenton, FL, is one of the only places in the U.S. where you can actually ride and even swim with a horse. A true once-in-a-lifetime adventure for all you horse-lovers!

Sarasota Jungle Gardens is home to more than 200 native and exotic animals, including birds of prey, parrots, macaws, flamingos, primates, goats, snakes, lizards, iguanas, alligators, crocodiles, and other reptiles.

Palmetto is not far from Ellenton Premium Outlets for those who enjoy shopping, where shops like Saks Off 5th, White House Black Market, Michael Kors, and Coach make for a fine way to spend a Saturday.

Palmetto offers various restaurants, many with outdoor seating, including The Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant and Riverside Cafe located in Palmetto's Historic District.

Don't forget to try Abuela's Kitchen and Popi's Place for lunch, and the best breakfast in town is at D's Breakfast and Burgers.

Palmetto has a downtown Farmer's Market and Music Festivals that come in every year at the Fairgrounds. Good things are happening in Palmetto, and there is a growing sense of pride about living here. Still, things move a little slower here.
