Families move to the eastern region of Manatee County with the intention of settling down in a place that is pleasant and nurturing; this is exactly what you can expect from Mill Creek in Bradenton.

Located on between State Road 64 and Upper Manatee Road, about four miles to the east of I-75, Mill Creek is a residential community that has undergone development since the mid-1980s. The development goal has always been the same: to provide homeowners with generous lots, spacious floor plans, and quality of life.

The single-family residences at Mill Creek range from Florida ranch-style homes built in the late 1980s to lavish Mediterranean-style estates completed in the last few years. A three-bedroom and two-bathroom home from 1992 can be negotiated for about $360K; this type of listing would be for 2,096 square feet of living space on a lot greater than one acre. For $600K, you will find a four-bedroom estate with three full bathrooms and more than 3,295 square feet of interior. If you are looking to build a spec home at Mill Creek, you can still find a lot for less than $140K.

Most of the properties at Mill Creek are surrounded by mature trees and lush green areas, but some are also situated right next to attractive lakes and ponds. The abundance of green areas, forest meadows and trails make Mill Creek a great neighborhood for children to play in.

Nature lovers who live at Mill Creek can enjoy Rye Preserve and Lake Manatee State Park, which are about 10 minutes away. The closest shopping center is Lakewood Ranch Plaza, which is less than three miles away; a Wal-Mart Supercenter is a little further down the road towards Downtown Bradenton, which is about 20 minutes away.
