Moving To Bradenton Florida 2023

So we have been living in the Sarasota Bradenton Area now for about 5 months. At first, we just landed here due to housing shortage after hurricane Ian. We needed a place, and we found one out this way. Despite that, Bradenton has started to grow on us and everyday we discover more and more we like about the area. From driving along the beaches starting in Anna Maria Island and heading as far south as Longboat key... Easy access to the best beaches in The Tampa Bay Area. Specially St Pete Beach! Were starting to like living here so much! Traffic, and the Zombieland apocalypse are some downsides... but Florida Man is part of living in the 941.

    Thank you so much for being honest. A lot of video maker people just say move here, move here, but they don't tell you the truth about those places like you do.

    You are right about the food on the beach. Bradenton has some authentic Mexican street food.

    I live in south Hillsborough county, one county up (to the north) I commute for work using US 41 to Bradenton. I love it. Jose is right about the traffic, going over the DeSoto bridge, during rush hours, traffic is a bear, but they do have the lights timed well.

    It must be a winter thing, but I’ve noticed that traffic can be a bear going north on interstate 75 weekday afternoon and evenings from Naples all the way to the I-275 split. I find that very odd but I suppose it’s all the snowbirds in the area it makes sense.

    Also with the easiest airport to get in/out of! ❤️ Back on February 2nd I had only 4 people in front of me waiting to get through security compared to the very long waits at other airports. Exit 213 off of I-75 and only 102 miles from the Naples/Marco Island exit.

    Moved to Samoset from Cleveland Ohio and thought we fell of the earth. Very different but it was cool eventually .90’s kids growing up in East Bradenton know about Pirate City , Florida Wheels ,Mixon Fruit Farms , Pirates Cove , Desoto Square Mall, Robby’s Shoe store, Coquina Beach , Southeast Highs School dominating in football, 24th street little league games in the hood. Left Bradenton years ago and would never go back but have a lot of good childhood memories there . East of 75 is much nicer btw I liked living out there a lot better .
