This guide tracks four pockets, each drawn as its own map boundary so listings are placed by coordinates rather than zip code: El Conquistador, Wild Oak Bay, Legends Bay and Aqua around IMG Academy; Coral Shores, San Remo Shores and Cortez village along the saltwater canals; the SeaFlower master-planned community; and guard-gated Tidy Island on Sarasota Bay. As of October 16, 2026 the four together have 144 active listings at a median asking price of $514,950.

El Conquistador, Wild Oak Bay, Legends Bay and Aqua sit directly around the IMG Academy campus and its golf course, and this guide tracks them together as one pocket. Over the last 12 months that pocket recorded 110 closed sales at a median $385,000 ($208 per square foot), with 55 homes on the market as of October 16, 2026. It is the most attainable of the four West Bradenton pockets and is mostly condos and villas, which suits families relocating for a student-athlete and owners who want a lock-and-leave home near campus. Rental rules vary by association, so check the minimum lease term before buying with rental income in mind. The Adamson Group is not affiliated with IMG Academy.

Over the last 12 months, single-family homes on boating water sold for a median $1,275,000 ($570 per square foot), against $667,084 ($322 per square foot) off the water: a 77% premium per square foot. For condos, villas and townhomes the gap is narrower: $420,000 on the water versus $370,000 off it, a 33% premium per square foot. Waterfront here means bay, saltwater canal or Intracoastal frontage; lake and pond lots are counted as non-waterfront. Data as of October 16, 2026, Stellar MLS.

Manatee County. West Bradenton sits on the mainland side of Sarasota Bay, across from the north end of Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island. Ryan Adamson works this market alongside Sarasota's barrier islands, and the figures on this page come from the same Stellar MLS feed and the same daily data pipeline as the Sarasota area guides.

Yes, from the canal communities. Coral Shores, San Remo Shores and the Cortez waterfront sit on saltwater canals that open to the Intracoastal Waterway, with the Gulf of Mexico reached through Longboat Pass. Bridge clearance, canal depth and seawall condition vary street by street, so they are worth checking on any specific property. As of October 16, 2026, 36 of the 50 active waterfront listings include a private dock.
