Northwood Park
Quiet Palmetto living close to the bay
Northwood Park is a small residential pocket of Palmetto, the Manatee County city that sits just across the river from Bradenton and within easy reach of the Gulf. It's the kind of neighborhood where you're a short drive from the shops and marinas of the Palmetto Historic District but still tucked away from the through-traffic, with newer master-planned communities like Trevesta and Artisan Lakes Esplanade nearby for anyone comparing options. Families are assigned to James Tillman Elementary Magnet, Buffalo Creek Middle, and Palmetto High.
The market here is genuinely tight — there are no active listings on the MLS right now, so buyers should expect to move quickly and lean on off-market leads. Over the last 12 months, eight homes sold at a median price of $382,500, and sellers collected about 98% of their asking price, which tells you demand outpaces the trickle of inventory. If you want in, patience and a ready pre-approval matter more here than in busier corners of town like West Ellenton.
