Mill Creek

Mill Creek Real Estate for Sale – Bradenton, Florida 34212

Settling rather than merely residing would be the more apt description of living in Mill Creek. This community was created with the vision of forming a neighborhood best fit for raising families, designed with larger-than-average home sites amid a rural ambiance but not too detached from urban amenities.

Located in a sprawling 900-acre site in Eastern Manatee, this property started carving its mark in the Bradenton real estate market starting from the latter half of the 1980s. Its location off State Road 64 is just four miles east of Interstate 75, thus enabling convenient access not only to Mill Creek’s hometown Bradenton but also to the life and leisure centers of Sarasota and St. Pete.

About 1,000 households have settled in Mill Creek to enjoy its tranquil lifestyle and convenient location. As indicated in the community’s demographics, it has grown to become a popular choice of growing families in search of Bradenton homes for sale. The median age of its residents, both males and females, are in the 40+ age bracket, and nearly 31% of households are accounted for by families with children. Roughly 80% of the homes in Mill Creek were built from 1990 onwards.

Generous square footage
