The maintenance-free style of The Waterway in the Village of Cortez will greatly appeal to those who enjoy boating, fishing and waterfront views. The Waterway is a low-rise condominium located near the entrance of Cortez, not far from Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island.

The Waterway consists of four buildings arranged in a W shape overlooking saltwater canals and the Palma Sola Bay; the two and three-bedroom units range between 1,200 and 2,000 square feet, and they are typically listed from $230K to $350K. The most attractive units at The Waterway are the penthouses, which often have upgrades such as custom cabinetry, wine racks, open plan living spaces, gourmet kitchens, cathedral ceilings, and extra-large balconies with panoramic views of Palma Sola Bay.

Life at The Waterway is very attractive to seasonal residents and home buyers looking for a winter home. Although this community is located right on the main thoroughfare that cuts across Cortez on its way to the beach, a forest patch and mature landscaping provides shade and privacy to residents. The neighborhood amenities include tennis courts, a heated pool with Jacuzzi, a fitness center, and a clubhouse. Many of the units enjoy private dock space, which means that boaters can easily reach Anna Maria Island in just 30 minutes.

The Waterway is conveniently located just minutes away from South Bradenton, where residents will find a Wal-Mart Supercenter, a large Publix supermarket, and a few shopping centers. The Village of Cortez is known as the best spot for seafood dining in Southwest Florida; legendary restaurants such as the Anna Maria Oyster Bar and Star Fish Company are known to attract visitors from all over the Sunshine State.
