When the real estate market in Southwest Florida bounced back to life a few years ago, a few savvy home builders chose Manatee County as the perfect location to develop the next generation of residential communities. Taylor Morrison teamed up with Ryland Homes to develop Arbor Reserve Bradenton, an exclusive residential enclave of 95 single-family homes located just south of State Road 70 and west of the Braden River.

For the two award-winning home builders, Arbor Reserve Bradenton was a great success. All their new homes were sold just as soon as they were completed from 2013 to 2015; however, a few homeowners have decided to put their properties on the market as the most desirable listings in Southwest Florida.

Even the most demanding home buyers will be impressed by the single-family homes at Arbor Reserve, which have been developed with the greatest attention to quality and detail. The floor plans range from two to five bedrooms, and the living spaces measure from 2,413 to more than 4,000 square feet.

The homes at Arbor Reserve are not only luxurious but also innovative; take, for example, a floor plan such as the Waverly III, which offers five bedrooms built on two stories and 4,400 square feet of living space. Four bedrooms are located upstairs, and two of them share a bathroom; downstairs, a master suite with an attached can be found near a game room, a great room, an eat-in kitchen, and a formal dining room. In early 2025, pricing in this community ranged between $470K and $759K. Latest pricing at Arbor Reserve Bradenton Florida will be found below if there is inventory.

Residents enjoy a variety of amenities, including a resort-style heated swimming pool with a cabana, a playground, a basketball court, and barbecue grills for social gatherings. The community’s well-maintained sidewalks are perfect for leisurely strolls or dog walking.

Arbor Reserve’s location offers convenient access to numerous attractions and essential services. The pristine Gulf Coast beaches are approximately 20 minutes away by car, providing opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to shopping centers like Bayshore Gardens, Southwood Shops, and Cortez Plaza. For outdoor recreation, nearby golf courses such as Tara Golf and Country Club are easily accessible. Additionally, the community is close to boat ramps and kayak launches connecting to the Braden River, catering to boating and fishing aficionados.

Families residing in Arbor Reserve benefit from inclusion in the Manatee Public Schools district, with schools such as Tara Elementary, Sara Scott Harllee Middle, and Braden River High serving the community.

With its blend of elegant homes, comprehensive amenities, and strategic location, Arbor Reserve Bradenton stands out as a desirable neighborhood in Manatee County.
