Tidewater Preserve

Tidewater Preserve Real Estate for Sale – Bradenton, Florida 34208

Choices from among pre-owned resale homes and newly built residences in the Bradenton real estate market await buyers who’ve set their eyes on the Tidewater Preserve. A waterfront community as its name suggests, this residential property development is situated along the southern banks of the mile-wide Manatee River. Quite convenient for road travel too, Interstate 75 bisects this property into eastern and western sections, right off the southern approach to the Trooper JD Young Bridge.

The Tidewater Preserve is yet to be fully built out, and when fully completed, it is expected to be populated by a total of 712 residences. Significantly, its developer, WCI Communities, has abandoned its plan to build four, 10-story condominium buildings in the property. Instead, 256 single family lots are being considered which would in effect reduce residential density from the earlier-planned 279 condo units. Also with no multi-story condominiums in the neighborhood, the pristine waterfront views within the community will be preserved.

Gated and maintenance-free

Bradenton real estate for sale at the Tidewater Preserve further excites interested buyers with its many delightful amenities. This community is a gated enclave with its gatehouse manned 24/7. A modest homeowners’ association fee cover cost for these facilities ensuring privacy and security. The reasonable HOA fee also takes care of lawn and landscaping maintenance of residences throughout the property.

Tidewater can rightfully claim being a boating community with its well-protected 149-slip marina enclosed within an expansive 55-acre man-made lake basin. A modern boat lift facilitates easy access to the Manatee River. Private boat docks are also assigned to select lakefront homes. Community canoes and kayaks along with a launch facility for these water vessels too are accessible to residents.

The community boasts of two clubhouses. One is the Port & Court Club which offers three tennis courts and a lakefront venue for community gatherings coordinated by a full-time lifestyle director. The other community hub is The Lodge which provides a fitness center, resort-type pool, and playground. Its facilities also include a community room with catering kitchen, gas fireplaces, flat screen TVs and billiards. In addition, Tidewater has extensive walking trails with boardwalks for a closer appreciation of the community’s natural riverfront environment.
