Westwoods sits in the heart of Manatee County, close enough to Bradenton's everyday conveniences while keeping the low-key, residential feel that draws buyers who want space without a long commute. It's the kind of neighborhood where families gravitate toward assigned schools like Bayshore High and W. D. Sugg Middle, and where nearby communities such as Oneco and Bay Shore Gardens fill out the surrounding landscape. If you want a home base that's still an easy reach of the Gulf beaches and the wider Bradenton area, this corner earns a look.
The market here is genuinely tight. With just one active listing at $385,000 and only four homes sold in the past year at a median of $533,750, inventory moves fast — the current listing hit the market in a single day, and sellers are pulling in about 98% of asking. That scarcity means buyers should come prepared to act, while keeping an eye on adjacent options in Braden River East and Heritage Harbour if timing doesn't line up.
Westwoods is a community in Bradenton, Florida.

Westwoods FAQs
Is Westwoods a good place to live?+
It's a settled, residential Bradenton neighborhood with homes averaging just under 2,000 square feet and assignment to Bayshore High School and Jessie P. Miller Elementary. The quiet character and central Manatee County location make it a solid fit for families who want space and an easy reach of surrounding communities like Bay Shore Gardens.
Is Westwoods expensive?+
It sits in a mid-market range for the Bradenton area, with the current active listing at $385,000 and homes selling over the past year at a median of $533,750. Rentals run around $4,000 a month, so it's not a budget zone, but it's approachable relative to Florida's pricier coastal pockets.
What do homes cost in Westwoods?+
The single active listing is priced at $385,000, or about $193 per square foot, while the four homes sold in the last 12 months carried a higher median sold price of $533,750. That gap reflects how thin inventory can swing pricing, so it's worth comparing against nearby Braden River East to gauge value.
How is the market in Westwoods?+
It's a fast, seller-friendly market — the current listing went from new to active in just one day, and sellers are averaging about 98% of asking. With only one home available and four sales in the past year, buyers should be ready to move quickly and keep backup options like Heritage Harbour in mind.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no reported median HOA figure for the neighborhood, which suggests limited or no association dues on most homes here. Property taxes run around $5,198 per year at the median, in line with what you'd expect for homes in this price range across Manatee County.
