Parrish continues to be among the best housing markets in Southwest Florida thanks to the completion of projects such as Rye Crossing Parrish, a gated community developed by renowned home builder D.R. Horton. Rye Crossing Parrish is located just north of Rye Preserve and Lake Manatee State Park, two popular family attractions in eastern Manatee County. If you are searching for homes that are still under builder’s warranty, this neighborhood offers options at very reasonable prices.

Rye Crossing Parrish is an ideal community for first-time home buyers and seasoned real estate investors. With prices lower than $365K (late 2024) for a three-bedroom home with 1,672 square feet of interior, this neighborhood is more affordable than the median value of homes in Parrish and Bradenton; this virtually guarantees that your home acquisition will be a sound investment. Latest pricing will be found below if there is inventory.

The D.R. Horton models built in Rye Crossing feature a distinctive look that borrows elements from the Tuscan and Mediterranean revival styles of home architecture. The floor plans range from 1,672 to 2,605 square feet of living space; these are concrete-block construction homes that maximize space with open-concept kitchens and great rooms. Some of the models offer a bonus room that can be used as a den, studio, or guest bedroom. All homes provide either patios or covered lanais to enjoy views of lakes or nature preserves.

As for its location in eastern Manatee County, Rye Crossing is the kind of neighborhood that appeals to families looking for a quiet place to live and prosper. The area north and south of Upper Manatee River Road is home to campgrounds, parks, preserves, holistic retreat centers, fishing spots, and public boat launch ramps; in other words, Rye Crossing feels like the countryside, but it is only seven minutes away from the new Publix supermarket at the White Eagle shopping plaza, and other commercial strips such as Lakewood Ranch Gateway are also nearby.

Please note that Rye Crossing homes have been selling rather quickly ever since D.R. Horton broke ground on this project last year. The overall pricing trend for this communities and others around Parrish is that their values will appreciate faster than other spots in Manatee County.
