Of all the waterfront real estate opportunities in Manatee County, the Riviera Dunes district of Palmetto is one of the most attractive. Riviera Dunes is more than just a marina and a couple of high-rise condominium towers; this is a diverse subdivision where you can also find luxurious townhouses such as the ones at The Hammocks at Riviera Dunes.

Finding The Hammocks from Highway 301 is easy: turn south on Haben Boulevard until you see the Riviera Dunes guard house, and look to the right for the private gated entrance to the neighborhood. This is a discrete community separated from Manatee School for the Arts by a greenbelt space; the three-story townhouses have considerable curbside appeal thanks to a clever blend of Mediterranean and American Coastal architecture.

The properties at The Hammocks at Riviera Dunes are arranged around a three-acre park with a lake and a small island in the middle. A few units face a canal that connects to the Manatee River, which means that they get the best views; nonetheless, the rest of the townhouses face the park, the lake, and a mangrove preserve. These are spacious homes that offer at least 2,700 square feet under air conditioning and up to four bedrooms with 4.5 bathrooms.

Pricing at The Hammocks was very enticing in late 2024. A four-bedroom townhouse with 4.5 bathrooms and a two-car garage was listed for just $490K. A waterfront townhouse unit was listed for $750K. These properties are loaded with extras such as private elevators, backyard grilling area, natural stone countertops, a balcony accessible from the master bedroom on the third floor, walk-in closets, and more. Neighborhood amenities include two swimming pools; plus, the Riviera Dunes marina next door offers tennis courts, a modern fitness center, and the Dockside Bar & Grill.

Residents of The Hammocks do not have to travel far for shopping. A Walmart Supercenter and a Publix supermarket are just blocks away, and you can always visit the Ellenton Premium Outlets every weekend. If you keep a boat in the Riviera Dunes marina, you will be able to sail to the beaches of Anna Maria Island, but you can always make to Holmes Beach in about 40 minutes.
