In the September-October issue of Where To Retire, Bradenton/Sarasota was named one of eight best places to retire.
Other cities also named were:
With so much to do here, this is a great place for people to retire. Miles and miles of gulf coast beaches, golfing, museums, boating, fishing, theaters, shopping and more! It's all located here in Bradenton!
In the March Issue of Art Calendar magazine, Bradenton was also named one of the top cities in the country for artists, because of the Village of The Arts.
Just a few miles around the corner from where I live in Riverview is what was to be known as Triple Creek. Triple Creek is located near the intersection of Big Bend Rd and Balm Riverview Rd.
Triple Creek was supposed to be a large gated community of over 2,000 homes & townhomes ranging in size from 1,500 to 4,000 sq ft. Planned community amenities included a town center and a 6,000 sq ft clubhouse.
Triple Creek is located next to Balm-Boyette Scrub Nature Preserve. The 5,000-acre preserve features 21.5 miles of hiking and biking trails.
Sounds like a great community, eh? Well....this is what it looks like today....
It appears as if they have abandoned the entire project as of now. Trees are tipped over into the road, weeds and brush are overgrown onto the sidewalks and medians. Weeds are about waist high around the concrete block homes they started, but never finished. There are a few homes that were built and look like they were completed or are nearly completed, that were probably going to be the models. Some of the windows have been broken out of the homes, so who knows what type of damage or vandalism has been done to the inside of the homes.
It's a shame this community is now a ghost town. Abandoned. Not a single construction worker, car or truck in the subdivision. Hopefully, they will be able to get moving on this project again soon!
Everytime I drive past this community, I want to drive through it. I'm not sure what it is, but I just love this community. I love the style of homes and the way they designed the shops and restaurants within walking distance of this community.
The homes were designed in a Key West style with large porches and white picket fences and the nearby shops and restaurants at the Winthrop Town Center were designed to feel like an old town. With brick paved steets and sidewalks, restaurants where you can eat outside while listening to live music, movies on the lawn, a farmers market and Sunday brunch...you really do feel like you're in a little town of your own.
There are 3 different types of homes in this community.
The Cottage Series range from 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 baths and 1,943 to 3,203 sq ft.
The townhomes range from 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 1,703 to 2,384 sq ft.
The traditional series range from 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 1,928 sq ft to 2,467 sq ft.
The tradional series are detached stand alone single family homes. The cottage series are attached single family homes.
Some of the nearby shops, restaurants and businesses are listed below.
Winthrop is located in Riverview behind the Winthrop Town Center located at Providence Rd & Bloomingdale Rd.
