Located on Florida’s central west coast, great things are taking root in Manatee County. From the ground up, growth is everywhere. The population has increased almost 30% in the last decade and shows no signs of stopping, landing the area on the Florida ‘Top 10’ list year over year since 2010.
In the northwestern part of Manatee County is Parrish, the county’s fastest growing area north of the Manatee River. Parrish is perfectly placed in the middle of everything and is just minutes to major interstates making it easy to get wherever you want to go – for work or play, north to Tampa or St. Petersburg, west to Sarasota or Bradenton, or even south to Venice. While the town’s small-town charm, natural beauty and agricultural legacy enhances flourishing residential areas, it is also blossoming with new conveniences, schools, shopping, dining options, and more, making it an attractive location for today’s buyers.
Responding to growth and building a sustainable way of life is key to Manatee County’s successful growth and continued excellence. A look into the County’s long-range plan describes what life here looks like. It translates into well-designed, distinct developments that foster a sense of community. It encourages pedestrian-friendly, connected communities featuring well maintained, diverse neighborhoods. It showcases the area’s history as an outdoor, coastal lifestyle destination with multi-use trails in and around both active and passive parks. It honors its land legacy by preserving the agricultural and historical character that Manatee County was founded on.
The area’s newest master-planned community, Oakfield, is intentionally designed with this vision in mind, drawing inspiration from the history of the land and rooted in the idea that shared moments with neighbors create a sense of community that will flourish just as nature intended. Located in Parrish, just minutes from I-75, residents will welcome theeasy commute to major urban employment centers, entertainment districts, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the country.
Spanning over 1,900 acres, Oakfield will feature Oakfield Lakes in the north with its beautiful lake and waterways, and the uniquely trail-connected community of Oakfield Trails in the south. As a whole, Oakfield will appeal to a diverse mix of buyers with a range of home styles, including single-family detached, townhomes and multifamily options.
Throughout Oakfield, native and multi-use trails will tie the community together leading residents to natural parks and playgrounds, the lake and waterways, and amenity-packed community and lifestyle hubs with pools, fitness, and multiple gathering and entertainment spaces designed to focus on the natural Florida lifestyle.
At Oakfield, residents will connect with family, friends, and neighbors and interact with the natural environment in fresh new ways, finding not just a home but a community.
