Palmetto sits on the north bank of the Manatee River where it opens into Tampa Bay, a working waterfront town with a genuine Palmetto Historic District and easy access to marinas like Riviera Dunes. This is a place where boaters, retirees, and commuters overlap — you'll find deepwater waterfront homes and dock-rackominiums alongside newer master-planned neighborhoods such as Artisan Lakes Esplanade and Trevesta. It's part of Manatee County, close enough to the water for weekend fishing but still an easy run north to the city.
For buyers, the market is broad and active: 568 listings span from $50,000 to $4.75 million, with a median list price of $399,000 and homes averaging $234 per square foot. There's a lot of new construction here — 164 active listings — which gives newcomers real options, and with a median 55 days on market, you have room to negotiate rather than rush.
Palmetto is in Manatee County, Florida.
