New construction opportunities are not as common as they used to be in Manatee County, which is why Heron Creek in Palmetto is certainly welcome by real estate investors and first home buyers alike.

Heron Creek is being developed by Maronda Homes, a seasoned builder that has been in business since the early 1970s. For Heron Creek, Maronda Homes plans to build less than 90 single-family residences based on 11 floor plans. This intimate community is located just off the intersection of I-75 and I-275, which means that it is an ideal neighborhood for those who commute to St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, or even Tampa.

The home models chosen by Maronda Homes feature the classic Sarasota style of architecture. The floor plans start with the Avella, which features three bedrooms built on at least 1,435 square feet. The largest floor plan measures 3,666 square feet and can be configured to feature up to six bedrooms. The builder is including plenty of extras in each Heron Creek property, from crown molding to granite counters and from designer kitchens to paver driveways.

Pricing at Heron Creek starts in the low $200K range, which is considerably less than the prices for new construction homes south of the Manatee River. Two sections of this neighborhood enjoy water views thanks to a community lake and a canal.

Home buyers who would like to raise a family in Palmetto will certainly enjoy life at Heron Creek. This is an area blessed with nature and just a short drive away from the Terra Ceia Preserve, one of the most pristine coastal parks in Florida. Golf players have various nearby courses to choose from, and shoppers can jump in the car and reach the Ellenton Premium Outlets in minutes.
