In Manatee County, there is a new master-planned community that achieves the perfect balance of luxury, amenities and relaxation. At Tidewater Preserve in Bradenton, homeowners can truly enjoy a resort-like lifestyle experience.

Tidewater Preserve is a novel master-planned community. This low-density waterfront neighborhood is located very close to Downtown Bradenton, right on the banks of the Manatee River. As of 2015, new homes are still being built in this neighborhood; the floor plans offered by developer WCI Communities at this point include carriage homes, townhouses, grand villas, and single-family residences.

As with other WCI Communities across Florida, the homes at Tidewater Preserve feature attractive designs and quality construction. To avoid repetitive aesthetics in this neighborhood, WCI Communities offers three different elevations on most floor plans. The architectural design is a mix of Caribbean and Mediterranean styles, and each home features extras such as walk-in closets, airy Florida rooms, private elevators, high ceilings, ornate balconies, luxury appliances, etc.

The resort lifestyle at Tidewater Preserve starts with the maintenance-free contract and continues with numerous amenities. The Port & Court Club offers tennis and social gatherings while The Lodge features a modern fitness room, swimming pool, playground, game room, and lounge. A small boat launch offers kayaks and canoes for residents and their guests, who can also enjoy the River Walk boardwalk and various green areas.

Prospective homeowners will find that property prices at the Tidewater Preserve are still very reasonable when considering the luxurious touch that WCI Communities has applied to this community. A three-bedroom and two-bathroom home with 1,710 square feet of interior space can be negotiated for less than $290K. A 3,565 square feet riverfront estate on an oversized lot can be found for $755K, but these prices are very likely to rise in the near future.

It is important to note that Tidewater Preserve residents enjoy a great location; just minutes away from Downtown Bradenton and the Manatee County beaches.
