Located about six miles east of the I-75 and State Road 64 junction, not far from Lake Manatee State Park, Country Creek in Bradenton is an expansive suburban community originally developed in the mid-1990s. Country Creek is a large neighborhood that spans several acres and boasts several lakes and green spaces; however, less than 80 single-family residences were built here, thus providing an ambiance of exclusivity. This community is perfect for home buyers looking for curb appeal, spacious interiors, oversized lots, diverse architectural styles, and a safe place to raise a family.

The home sites at Country Creek typically measure at least one acre; the average floor plan offers more than 2,100 square feet of living space, and it is not uncommon to find features such as covered swimming pools, fireplaces, double entrances with porches, decorative foyers, and more. The architectural styles range from Mediterranean revival to Caribbean and Southern Colonial. Real estate sales are fairly active; pricing in 2019 started under $350K for a three-bedroom home with two full bathrooms. Larger properties with five bedrooms built on more than an acre of land can be negotiated under $475K.

Virtually all properties in Country Creek are located near lakes or forest patches. Thick tropical landscaping and minimal through-traffic provide residents with plenty of privacy. Community amenities include a playground, green spaces, a lakefront viewing spot, and a picnic area. The homeowners association stays active with social events such as holiday parties and picnics. Suburban comforts can be found less than six minutes away at the Lakewood Ranch Gateway shopping center, where you can find a Publix supermarket, banks, cafes, and restaurants.

Family attractions located close to Country Creek include Rye Preserve and Lake Manatee State Park, but you can also drive to Downtown Bradenton, which takes about 25 minutes, or to Holmes Beach, less than 40 minutes away. Driving to the Ellenton Premium Outlets mall for even more shopping takes less than 20 minutes.
