As residential development in eastern Manatee County continues in 2019, smart home buyers are looking at the real estate opportunities offered by neighborhoods such as Canoe Creek in Parrish, a new gated community located a couple of miles east of Fort Hamer Road, not far from the Missing Link Golf Academy. Canoe Creek is a project developed by Neal Communities, and it is modeled after many of the villages this builder has completed in nearby Lakewood Ranch.

The home models selected by Neal Communities for Canoe Creek reflect a new architectural style that blends elements from Mediterranean, Caribbean and Old Florida designs with few details inspired by coastal homes. If you are looking for a fresh and stylish look, the floor plans at Canoe Creek will not disappoint you; they are brand-new and look stunning.

As of mid-2019, Canoe Creek was on the verge of completion. The first homes available were built according to the Elation, Dream and Bright Meadow floor plan specs. With prices ranging from $280K to $377K, Canoe Creek is an enticing proposition, particularly when you consider home models such as the Dream, a three-bedroom and two-bathroom open floor plan that features 1,859 square feet of living space; this is a home with extras such as French kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, recessed lights, dual sinks, and a decorative entry complete with columns and an elaborate foyer.

Being a Neal Communities project, Canoe Creek is a place where residents and their guests can enjoy amenities such as pickleball courts, a large swimming pool, fitness center, clubhouse, picnic area with fire pit, and a small community park. Nearby attractions include Beker State Park, Lake Parrish, Gamble Creek, and the pristine Rye Preserve. The new Fort Hamer Bridge provides easy access to I-75, Bradenton and Sarasota. The Shops at Silver Leaf are about seven minutes away, and this is where you will find a new Publix supermarket as well as other suburban comforts. Driving to Holmes Beach will take you less than 50 minutes.
