Kitchens across Manatee County: what local homes call for
The typical home across the 10 communities we cover in Manatee County was built around 1992, but the range is wide: median homes in Anna Maria date to about 1974, while those in Parrish are closer to 2010. That spread means two kitchens in the same county can need very different work.
County-wide, median home value is about $398,000 (about 20% above the national median of $333,000), with Ellenton at the lower end near $202,000 and Anna Maria at the top near $1,227,000.
Ownership is high in Manatee County: about 75% of households own, and 62% of homes are single-family. With just 16% built before 1970, systems are generally newer than in much of Florida.
