Bradenton Overview

Life in the sunshine state doesn't get much better than Bradenton, Florida. Ideally located in the aptly-named Manatee County, this on-the-move southern hot spot is a fantastic place to live, work and play. 

What is the history of Bradenton?

Settled in the mid-1800 and officially incorporated in 1903, Bradenton took its name from a nearby doctor of some prominence. The city's first bank and library soon followed incorporation, and the Peninsular Telephone Company Building saw construction in 1925. Tropicana eventually settled in the city and remains a primary employer, with a large number of office buildings dominating the downtown region.

How is the weather in Bradenton?

Those living in Bradenton apartments can expect plenty of sunshine all year long, although it should be noted the city does see its fair share of precipitation as well. Summer months are often the wettest, with about 12-15 days per month seeing some degree of rain from June-August. Still, beach weather is the name of the game here, and Bradenton apartment residents can rest assured that snow and ice are as rare as an alligator in sunglasses in this scenic locale.

How do I get around town?

Bus service is widespread across the city, making a rental in Bradenton quite ideal for convenience of transportation, and a free trolley system helps cover miuch of the north to south regions as well. Rail is in shorter supply, but the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport makes largescale travel a breeze, with numerous flights offered every day.

What is the Bradenton commute like?

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge stretches over 5 miles and offers easy access to St. Petersburgh and beyond, while Interstate 75 juts across the eastern tip of the city. State Routes 64 and 301 both offer additional ease of travel, and on most days traffic in the city tends to move at a fairly reasonable pace.

What are the local media outlets?

Print news is covered by the 'Bradenton Herald', and the 'Tampa Bay Times' also tends to enjoy popular readership around town. WJIS is a widely-enjoyed local radio station, with eclectic formats such as cuban jazz and political talk found next to traditional classic rock and country favorites. Bradenton apartments offer easy access to most major broadcasting networks as well.
