Review of Bradenton, Florida


New Resident
Star Rating - 8/4/2010
Looking forward to moving to Bradenton soon! Spent many months looking up and down the SW coast and chose Bradenton as my new home. I realize there are many naysayers, but since I'm originally from NJ, I understand all that!
It's proximity to Sarasota and Tampa is great, the beaches of AMI are fantastic, and the art scene is nice and hip. Seems to me like Bradenton is a 'poor cousin' to Sarasota. Like any city it has it's problems---no place is perfect. Hope to get active in local politics after settling in. I dislike people who complain but never try to take action to change the things they bitch about! See you soon!

Did you make it to Bradenton? If so, how do you like it? I LOVE the idea of moving to that area of Florida for the sun and surf, but curious about the REALITY of the area...???
