Parrish Community High School

It suits families and buyers who want newer, larger homes on the growing northern side of Manatee County. The area is built around master-planned communities — 220 of the active listings are gated — and feeder schools like Blackburn Elementary School anchor the family appeal. With 2,911 homes sold in the past year, it's an established, in-demand market rather than a speculative one.

It's moderately priced for the region, with a median list price of $425,000 and a median sold price of $400,227. Listings run from around $165,000 all the way up to nearly $5 million, and 31 active homes are priced above $1 million, so there's range at both ends. For most buyers, the sweet spot lands right around that $400,000 mark.

The median home is about 2,123 square feet and sells near $400,227, with active listings averaging $733 per square foot across a very wide mix. Entry-level options start around $165,000 while the luxury tier stretches to $4,999,999. Because 502 of the current listings are new construction, pricing often reflects builder inventory and upgrade packages.

It's active and fairly balanced. Homes are taking a median 47 days to sell, sellers are getting about 98% of their asking price, and there are roughly 965 active listings against 2,911 sales in the last twelve months. That combination gives buyers real selection without a runaway bidding environment.

Expect a median HOA of about $129 per month, which is typical for the gated and master-planned communities that make up much of this zone. Median property taxes run around $4,721 per year. If you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent here sits near $2,787 per month.
