Ellenton sits along the Manatee River in the northwest corner of Manatee County, an easygoing pocket that trades Gulf-coast crowds for outlet shopping, riverfront quiet, and quick I-75 access. It's a place where established manufactured-home parks share the map with newer neighborhoods like Covered Bridge Estates and Oak Creek, and where nearly half the active market is built for the 55-plus crowd. If you want the water without a coastal price tag, the waterfront homes here are worth a serious look.
Right now there are 97 active listings with a median list price of $265,000, which is unusually approachable for this stretch of the coast. Prices run from $40,000 all the way to $2,350,000, so the range spans budget-friendly single-family homes and a handful of luxury outliers. With a median 68 days on market, buyers have real negotiating room — and it's worth checking what's just reduced before you tour.
Ellenton is in Manatee County, Florida.

Ellenton real estate FAQs
Is Ellenton a good place to live?+

Its mix of established communities and newer neighborhoods like Oak Creek appeals especially to retirees, with 49 of the current listings in 55+ communities. Blackburn Elementary is the most common assigned school for families with younger kids.
Is Ellenton expensive?+
Not by Gulf-coast standards. The median list price is $265,000 and the average is about $202 per square foot, with entry points as low as $40,000. That makes it far more affordable than much of coastal Manatee County.

How is the Ellenton housing market right now?+
There are 97 active listings and homes are taking a median 68 days to sell, which signals a balanced-to-buyer-friendly market with negotiating room.
