West Bradenton, FL Real Estate and Homes for Sale

Bradenton has become increasingly sophisticated while retaining its small-town charm. Downtown Bradenton is located on the west side of the city and is home to many of Bradenton's businesses and government buildings. The new Bradenton Riverwalk that extends 1.5 miles along the Manatee River features a day boat dock, an amphitheater, skate park, fishing pier, kayak and canoe launch, splash pad for the kids, beach volleyball courts, event area, and outdoor “living rooms” where visitors can relax and view the Manatee River. The Village of the Arts is a vibrant community of artists living and working together in Bradenton. With over forty artists, the Village is Florida’s largest art community. Monthly Art Walks fill the streets with art lovers looking for affordable fine art, jewelry, ceramics, designer wear and collectibles of all kinds. You'll also find inviting bookstores, gourmet cafes and many special events free to the public. G.T. Bray Park is Manatee County's recreational hub and the centerpiece of an impressive Parks and Natural Resources Department with lighted football, baseball fields and basketball, racquetball, pickleball courts, Olympic pool, fitness center, skate park, pavilions and so much more in this huge public park. McKechnie Park hosts spring training for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Though there has been baseball played at McKechnie Field since 1923, it's actually one of the newer stadiums in Florida spring training, as the facility was completely rebuilt in 1993. The words that come to mind to describe McKechnie are cozy, classic and intimate. Its distinct look and location make it a throwback to a bygone era, when Spring Training wasn’t the big business that it is today. West Bradenton has many charming, neighborhoods ranging from hugh stately mansions to cozy bungalows. Just call realtor Susan Klement to help you find your perfect home!
