Wildewood Springs is a large and stylish condominium neighborhood in South Bradenton that offers home buyers an affordable housing option in a great location. This neighborhood is spread across 80 acres and organized in seven housing groups that total 558 units.

The residential architecture at Wildewood Springs stands out in the sense that it does not conform to the Mediterranean and Old Florida styles that are so prevalent across Manatee County and Southwest Florida neighborhoods. The Wildewood Springs condominium was developed in the 1970s at a time when modernist architecture was taking hold in the United States. Each neighborhood or village has its own private entrance for greater security. The buildings are two-story concrete and wood structures that house apartments, villas and town houses.

Amenities at Wildewood Springs include swimming pools, tennis courts, natural ponds, and walking trails. This is a very attractive neighborhood, and not just because of the interesting architectural style; the entire community has been designated as a nature preserve. The neighborhood association gives careful maintenance to the lush landscaping in all neighborhoods, and each cluster of residences has been designed in a way that takes advantage of tree shade and maximizes air flow.

Home prices start at just under $50K for a two-bedroom and two-bathroom unit on a second floor. A two-story townhouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms can be negotiated for less than $200K. The real estate market in this subdivision stays busy, so there are always listings available.

A supermarket and shopping center are located just a stroll away from Wildewood Springs. The neighborhood is just minutes away from downtown Bradenton and the beaches of Anna Maria Island. Young residents are served by Moody Elementary, Lee Middle and Bayshore High of the Manatee Public Schools District.
