The Palmetto High School zone sits on the north bank of the Manatee River, where established neighborhoods, waterfront lots, and new subdivisions share the same ZIP. It's a genuinely walkable-to-water part of Manatee County, and families here can lean on schools like James Tillman Elementary Magnet School and LINCOLN MIDDLE SCHOOL while staying about 41 minutes from Downtown Tampa. With 116 waterfront listings on the market, this is one of the more affordable stretches of the Tampa Bay area where the river is still in reach.
For buyers, the numbers are workable. Among the 634 active Palmetto homes for sale, the median list price is $399,000, homes sit for a median of 55 days, and sellers are getting about 97% of asking. That combination — real inventory, moderate pace, disciplined pricing — gives you room to negotiate without the frenzy you'll find closer to the coast; browse the live map to see how the segments stack up.
Palmetto High School is an attendance zone in Ellenton, Florida.

Palmetto High School FAQs
Is the Palmetto High School zone a good place to live?+
It's a practical pick if you want Manatee River access and Tampa Bay proximity without coastal-market prices. Families draw on schools including Palmetto Elementary School, and Downtown Tampa is about 41 minutes out. The mix of established neighborhoods, 163 gated listings, and 167 new-construction homes means there's a fit for most buyers.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
It's moderate for the Tampa Bay area. The median list price is $399,000 and the average is $233 per square foot, with listings running from $40,000 all the way to $4,750,000. Only 32 of the 634 active listings are priced at $1 million or above, so the bulk of the market sits well below the luxury tier.
What do homes cost in the Palmetto High zone?+
Expect a median list price around $399,000 for a typical home near 1,881 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 1,549 homes sold at a median of $357,440, so closing prices tend to land below list. Waterfront and larger new-construction homes push the top of the range higher.
How is the market right now?+
It's a balanced, buyer-friendly market. Homes take a median of 55 days to sell and sellers are collecting about 97% of asking on average, which signals room to negotiate. With 634 active listings, you have real choice rather than a bidding-war environment.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $160 per month, though many older streets have no HOA at all, while the 163 gated communities typically carry dues. Median property tax is roughly $3,470 per year. If you're renting first, the median rent here is about $2,500 per month.
