Let's Explore the Area of Parrish
Parrish is located in Manatee County, about 15 miles northeast of Bradenton. With a population of just under 53,000, many people feel Parrish is one of the best-kept real estate secrets in Southwest Florida. Parrish offers its residents a few shops and restaurants but is more of a “quiet” place to live. If you are seeking a bigger selection of shopping and restaurants, it’s just a short drive and you’ll find a ton of things to do and explore.
The biggest thing people love about Parrish is the location. It’s not all that far from Bradenton, Sarasota, St Petersburg, Tampa, and more. So if you enjoy spending time by the ocean, Parrish offers really easy access to the area’s best beaches. There are also great spots for fishing and plenty of marinas by the coast as well. But there are many other reasons this area is growing every day. Many people feel this area is very affordable. There are condos, townhomes, single-family homes, adult communities, and just about anything else you could want when it comes to home-style!
Are you a sports fan? If so the Parrish area has you covered year-round. There is spring training with the Yankees in Tampa, the Pirates are in Bradenton, the Phillies in Clearwater, and the Orioles in Sarasota. Remember Tampa is under 40 miles away, so you know what that means right? The NHL, the NFL, and the MLB. Talk about convenience!
