Parrish sits in north Manatee County along the US-301 corridor, north of Lakewood Ranch and east of I-75. It is the busiest new-construction market in the county, and homes here typically cost well below comparable Lakewood Ranch product. Most master-planned neighborhoods carry a CDD, the Fort Hamer Road widening will improve the drive to Bradenton, and Gulf beaches are roughly 35 to 45 minutes west.

I spent 25 years in mortgage lending before I became a REALTOR®. That matters on a resale purchase, where financing terms and appraisal gaps decide who wins the house.

I set up a live MLS alert for Brightwood so you see new listings, price drops and back-on-market homes first.
We tour the homes that fit, and I pull recent Brightwood sales so you know what each one is really worth.
I negotiate price, inspection repairs and credits, then manage the file through closing.
Brightwood questions
Can I buy new construction in Brightwood?
Brightwood is an established community, so homes are sold as resales through the MLS rather than by a builder. I can set up an instant alert so you see every new Brightwood listing the day it hits the market.
Is Brightwood a 55+ community?
No. Brightwood is open to buyers of all ages.
Does Brightwood have a CDD fee?
Many new communities in Manatee County carry a CDD that appears on the property tax bill. I'll confirm whether Brightwood has one and the exact amount before you commit.
Where is Brightwood located?
Brightwood is in Parrish, Manatee County. It is part of North River Ranch.
