SEAFLOWER
Here's the next big thing in Florida's Suncoast living - Seaflower! It's Bradenton’s newest master-planned community that’s generating a lot of buzz. Just minutes from Anna Maria Island, this golf-cart-friendly neighborhood is being designed as a true “live, work, play” destination, complete with shopping, restaurants, office space, and even a Publix that you can ride to without ever starting your car.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION... Nestled off Cortez Road and 75th Street, Seaflower has been over a decade in the making. Thoughtfully planned to bring convenience and lifestyle together, it offers the same energy you’ll find in Waterside at Lakewood Ranch — but closer to the beach. That unbeatable location means easy access to both city life and coastal relaxation.
AMENITIES... At the center of the community will be The Garden Club, the main hub for fun and connection. Here, residents can enjoy:
-
A resort-style pool with lap lanes
-
Pickleball courts
-
Dog parks and kids’ playgrounds
-
A fire pit, amphitheater, and event lawn
-
A community center for gatherings
-
Year-round activities led by a dedicated Lifestyle Director
It’s all designed to make every day feel like a vacation while fostering a strong sense of community.
FIVE BUILDERS, ENDLESS OPTIONS... Seaflower stands out because it’s not a “cookie-cutter” neighborhood. With five respected builders offering a variety of floor plans and architectural styles, buyers can choose a home that truly fits their lifestyle.
-
ISSA Homes – Luxury estate homes on 80-foot lots, 2,900–3,600 sq. ft. Prices typically range from $1.7M to $2M, featuring designs like the Addison, Hemingway, Kingston, and Preston.

Cardel Homes – Cottage (1,900–2,600 sq. ft.) and Classic (2,300–3,000 sq. ft.) series with coastal styles. Standouts include the Daybreak, Palma, and Lido.

DESIGNED FOR COMMUNITY - NOT SHORT-TERM RENTALS... Seaflower is focused on building long-term connections. Homes must be owner-occupied for at least a year before leasing, keeping the community strong and neighborly. Many early buyers are local Bradenton and Sarasota residents who love the idea of a new community close to the beach — and in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is optional and affordable.
FEES AT A GLANCE... Like most master-planned communities, Seaflower has HOA and CDD fees:
-
Single-family homes: ~$300/month (lawn, clubhouse, basic internet)
-
Villas: $380/month (includes exterior maintenance)
-
Townhomes: $375/month (includes exterior maintenance)
-
CDD fees: $1,600–$3,000 annually, depending on home type
Between its unbeatable location, lifestyle amenities, and range of home options, this carefully planned community is already seeing high demand. Lots in Seaflower are selling quickly, and many builders don’t need to offer discounts — the excitement speaks for itself.
Whether you’re looking for a luxury estate, a family-friendly home, or a low-maintenance villa, Seaflower has something for everyone.
