Why you'd want to live in Bradenton

It’s no accident that our unofficial logo is a pair of sunglasses and our motto “The Friendly City.” We’re pretty friendly, and we believe that our future really is that bright. We are located along Florida’s Gulf Coast, south of the greater Tampa Bay area and north of Sarasota. We think Bradenton is a wonderful place to raise a family, to work and to play. Bradenton is nestled on the beautiful Manatee River, and our Riverwalk allows many ways to enjoy the view. via https://cityofbradenton.com/
