Beautiful cozy beach town on Florida’s west coast. Bradenton is in the best location. It's only an hour from Tampa Airport, about a half hour from St. Pete - which is a cool, fun downtown and about 15 minutes away from Sarasota, which is another nice area. And you can't beat our beaches! Bradenton/Anna Maria Island beaches are one of the most beautiful and the best part is that it keeps its "old FL" charm with no high rises. I absolutely love it.
The problem is that the city is a dump; it is an eye soar, for most of the city. It obviously has it's really nice areas and beautiful neighborhoods, but driving down the main roads (Cortez, Rt. 70, Rt 301, etc.) its an eye sore. It's such a shame because with its location, it has amazing potential.

Well Bradenton is my home town, I was born and raised in Bradenton Florida I have never had any major issues with it. Where I live there are many stores to go to it’s very much safe near where I live. But sometimes specifically where I live isn’t that safe due to some situations that happened in the past. There are great schools in Bradenton and give you a lot of opportunities like early college which I am apart of! The beach is very nice too especially during sun rise or sun set. Overall my experience in Bradenton has been very great!
My family just recently moved to Lakewood Ranch and we love the area! There is a lot of wild life/walking trails and downtown Lakewood Ranch is filled with quaint little shops and restaurants. The people are super friendly and welcoming. The beach is conveniently only about 20-30 minutes away.
