Oak Trace Homes
Oak Trace consists of detached single-family homes built primarily during the early to mid-2000s. Florida and traditional architectural influences are common, with concrete-block construction, stucco exteriors, attached two- or three-car garages, and one- and two-story floor plans.
Buyers may find three- and four-bedroom residences along with larger homes offering bonus rooms, lofts, home offices, formal dining areas, split-bedroom designs, walk-in closets, and spacious primary suites. Private swimming pools and screened lanais are available at some properties.
Because Oak Trace is now an established resale community, individual homes vary in roofing, HVAC systems, windows, storm protection, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, pools, and other owner improvements. Buyers should compare these features when evaluating available properties.
Pond & Preserve Settings
Ponds and natural areas provide attractive settings for select Oak Trace homes. Some properties feature screened lanais and private pools overlooking water or preserved vegetation, while others occupy interior or cul-de-sac homesites.
Mature oak trees and established landscaping are found throughout portions of the neighborhood, helping give Oak Trace a more established appearance than many newer Bradenton subdivisions.
