University Place sits in the eastern stretch of Bradenton, an area of quiet residential streets that appeals to buyers who want space and a settled, family-oriented feel. Homes here run to a comfortable size — the median is around 2,125 square feet — and the neighborhood keeps you close to the schools, shopping and the Braden River corridor that define this part of Manatee County. Nearby communities like Braden River East and Heritage Harbour fill out the surrounding map, so you're never far from a familiar name.
For a buyer today, inventory is genuinely tight: just two homes are active, with a median list price of $534,950 and a range from about $500,000 to $570,000. Sellers have been getting roughly 98% of asking over the past year, and the 20 homes sold in that window closed at a median of $606,250 — a sign that well-priced homes move. With a median 83 days on market, though, there's still room to be deliberate rather than rushed.

University Place FAQs
Is University Place a good place to live?+
It's an established, family-oriented pocket of east Bradenton with roomy homes averaging around 2,125 square feet. Buyers are drawn to the settled residential feel and the Braden River school zone — Robert Willis Elementary, Braden River Middle and Braden River High. It suits people who want space and quiet without leaving Manatee County's shopping and river amenities behind.
Is University Place expensive?+
It sits in the mid-$500s at list: the median list price is $534,950, ranging from about $500,000 to $570,000. That's a comfortable step above entry-level Bradenton but well short of the county's luxury tier, with no homes currently listed over $1M. At roughly $253 per square foot, you're paying for genuinely larger floor plans.
What do homes cost in University Place?+
Active listings carry a median list price of $534,950, while the 20 homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $606,250 — a reminder that recent sales have run higher than today's asking prices. Expect around $253 per square foot for a median home near 2,125 square feet. Nearby Braden River East offers a useful comparison for shoppers weighing the area.
How is the market in University Place?+
Inventory is very tight, with just two active listings on the market right now. Homes take a median of 83 days to sell, and sellers are averaging 98% of their asking price — so pricing is realistic and well-positioned homes trade close to list. Compared with faster-moving spots like Heritage Harbour, the limited supply here rewards patient, prepared buyers.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $112 a month, which is modest for a community of this size. Property taxes come in around $3,719 a year at the median. One of the two current listings is in a gated section, so fees can vary depending on the specific street or enclave you choose.
