Perico sits on the western edge of Bradenton, the last stretch of land before the causeway to Anna Maria Island — which makes it a genuine gateway to the Gulf. The character here is unmistakably water-forward: of the 41 homes on the market right now, 20 are waterfront and 28 sit inside gated communities, so mornings tend to start with bay views and controlled-access calm. It's an easy fit for buyers who want island proximity without island prices, with nearby Bradenton homes for sale and pockets like Bay Shore Gardens rounding out the options along the bay.
For a buyer today, this is a market that rewards patience. The median list price is $625,000 against a median sold price of $393,000 over the last 12 months, so there's a real spread between aspiration and closing reality — and sellers are getting about 95% of asking. With homes taking a median 90 days to sell and 73 closings in the past year, you have room to negotiate, especially compared to faster-moving inland spots like Braden River East or Heritage Harbour.
Perico is a community in Bradenton, Florida.

Perico FAQs
Is Perico a good place to live?+
If you want water access and island proximity, it's hard to beat — Perico is the last mainland community before the Anna Maria causeway, and 20 of its 41 active listings are waterfront. Families are assigned to Ida M. Stewart Elementary, Martha B. King Middle, and Manatee High School. The gated, low-key feel suits buyers who value quiet over nightlife.
Is Perico expensive?+
It sits at the upper end of the Bradenton market, with a median list price of $625,000 and seven homes currently asking $1M or more. That said, the median sold price over the last year was $393,000, so actual closings tell a more grounded story. Compared to nearby Bradenton homes for sale, you're paying a premium for waterfront and gated access.
What do homes cost in Perico?+
Active listings range from $289,000 all the way up to $4,495,000, with a median list of $625,000 and an average of $434 per square foot on a median home size of 1,664 sqft. The median home actually sold for $393,000 in the past 12 months. That gap means there's negotiating room, particularly on higher-priced waterfront inventory.
How is the market right now?+
It's a measured, buyer-friendly market: 73 homes sold in the last 12 months, and the current median time on market is 90 days. Sellers are averaging 95% of their asking price, so well-prepared offers are landing below list. Inland communities like Heritage Harbour tend to move faster, which gives Perico buyers time to be selective.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Budget carefully here — the median HOA runs about $1,028 per month, reflecting the gated and often waterfront communities, and the median annual property tax is around $9,022. Those carrying costs are a real factor on top of the purchase price. For comparison, the median rent in the area is about $2,900 per month.
