Top 10 Worst Neighborhoods In Bradenton Florida

[@byd3k157]

St. Rd. 64 Walmart area. You are right about what you said in this video. It’s very odd how there are $1 million homes and then across the street, slums. Most tourists and those that move here don’t even know about that. Thanks for putting this video together. From Ellenton.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Your welcome! Same with ellenton, one side is malls and great community but on the other side its a mess.

I mean, I've lived in worst areas in Bradenton. But its not the worst. I agree with a lot of your video, anyone moving into Bradenton should definitely do some research first

[@lindamendez9795]

Thanks for telling the truth. So many are in such denial about how Bradenton is deteriorating we have to admit we have a problem in order to repair it.

[@vickidolph1581]

We retired and moved here three years ago from Ohio. We live in West Bradenton and so far, we are loving it! It’s wonderful to have so many doctors and specialists, restaurants, shopping and of course the beaches on the island so close to us! Our neighborhood is absolutely stunning! There is a wonderful sense of community and we love that! We are 5-6 miles from the beach and go there early in the morning about 3-4 times a week with a few of our neighbors. It truly is like living in paradise!🌴☀️🌴☀️

[@harryhoesch3793]

Thank you. Retired and looking to move South, but skyrocketing prices, put most houses out of range for moderate income people. Bradenton seemed as a possible place that's more reasonable. Now I know why. Guess the option is not here and continue to search.

[@jeffreycollier1805]

I wouldn't put too much stock in this video because it's obvious that some of not half or more on the list are pretty unfair in my opinion and as a resident of Bradenton. The reality is that there are pockets of "bad" but a majority is good. Moving here from Atlanta Metro 2 years ago, I know what a bad neighborhood is and looks like. Bradenton is very safe and nice in comparison. I believe Bradenton is up and coming with a lot of money being invested. It's an older town, close to the best beaches in the world. I believe that buying in Bradenton will pay significant dividends in years to come.

I moved to Bradenton in 2018. I live in the Bayshore Gardens/South Bradenton area. Definelty not the "nice" part of town but I don't find it too unsafe. I feel comfortable walking/running around the neighborhood. Trash and upkeep is pretty poor so that makes it look a lot worse than it is. Cool seeing streets I am on everyday on this video. I think Bradenton's problem is that we are too close to a major city in Tampa, and a wealthy city in Sarasota. Bradenton is kind of the in-between. Why would a developer come here when they could go to Sarasota or Tampa? Just my thoughts

A great way to take care of drug dealers is to go to the DEA and complain that local cops are not working on it. They get very aggressive when they are questioned by the Feds. And sometimes the Feds take over the prosecution resulting in Federal prison.

Lakewood Ranch: behind the shiney new gates and hidden behind the pricey ornamental shrubs, reflected in the bright waters, where the splendid fountains joyously spout, yep, you guessed it. Homeless people! 😂 If this video is your only resource, you'd think B-town is a zombie nightmare, but the unhoused are not as numerous as we are led to think, here. The host is bothered by homeless people, or fascinated--he sees them everywhere. It's probably the age-old middle-class fear of falling.

Bradenton is a beautiful place to call home. Most of Bradenton, like 75 to 80% or more is great and safe. Come for a visit and see for yourself. There are some not so nice pockets, like any city.

[@billym835]

Hi! I lived in Bradenton way back. I bought in to the village of the arts. The city spent $700,00.00 on research to improve the city. I don't think they achieved what they were trying to do. I live in Palmetto, now. I am retired, and I felt bad that you showed a plaza that is right behind the property that I live in. I have to say that we are isolationists and the reality of life is "Out there" I enjoyed your video very much. I am surely numb to the reality of the real world.

I have lived in Sarasota for 40 years and Bradenton has been known for as long as I can remember to be crime ridden with lots of homeless . Downtown Bradenton is a shame s waste , nothing much is downtown and it too has crime. Manatee county is corrupt and have not done anything for the county or city . The elected officials of Manatee county is a big reason Bradenton sucks, , because they have done nothing to compete with Sarasota . In the 40 years of living in Sarasota, Bradenton has not changed , it was bad 40 years ago and it's still bad.

Only nice parts are really the suburbs and some of the beach area but i temember even the beach there was gang related shootings

[@geno-b2h]

Grew up in Bayshore Gardens.

[@jeffreycollier1805]

I believe that this video is not really a true representation of Bradenton. I moved here from Atlanta Metro 2 years ago and bought a house. Although you have listed a few hot spots but calling an entire area "bad" is not an honest report. Considering the contrast between "Lakewood ranch" and the urban areas of Bradenton is an apples and orange comparison. The reality is that every neighborhood has a pocket of "bad" and "not so nice" streets or so. Ive explored all of Bradenton and found that in comparison to a "real" urban and suburbs of a large city like metro Atlanta, Bradenton is by far a great place to live and work. One thing that I agree with is the homeless population needs to be controlled better. Although, its an error to say or think that "all" homeless people are dope addicts. I considered buying at Lakewood ranch at first but saw that I wouldn't fit in with the mentality of a "new" overpriced and overhyped cookie cutter houses that are 5' from each other in a planned community with outrageous HOA rules and fees that gives people a sense of being "better" than another part of town. To each their own i say but i like to be free to decide what I want to do with my house and property. Since moving here, I've noticed that most people who live in Lakewood ranch talk about Lakewood ranch like its the greatest place in the world and come across as very snobby about their decision to buy there. it's kinda funny but mostly irritating because I've been out there, toured the neighborhoods for days driving around to see what all the fuss is about. Only to find that the real thing thats going on at Lakewood ranch is the builders are hooking people with a fantastic sales and marketing strategy. The so called on the water properties are just houses next to mosquitoe hives that are dug out for water run off. 15' deep front yards and 10' deep backyards is common. The $500k house starting point options are laughable in a number of ways including the layouts and materials used. These houses are at best a $200k real value. Being in the construction industry for 30 years, i know what im talking about here. So people are paying more than double the real price for a few shiny new amenities and overpaying for upkeep with HOA fees. All the wrong boxes just keep getting checked to make Lakewood ranch a good decision when going outside Lakewood ranch and applying the same $500k, you can find anything from a home with 10 acres to a nice bungalow within a few minutes to the beaches. I just wanted to balance out your video report and not meant to disparage you in any way. I think that Lakewood ranch residents are living in a bubble that in years to come, will likely pop. Lets eat lunch together sometime, i know some good spots

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

This isn’t the Deep South where you came from… we have standards here

[@jeffreycollier1805]

​@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS hahaha hahaha, we have or had standards in ole Hotlanta metro but they went down to the level of unacceptable. That's why I'm here. I think that your idea of "bad areas" are indeed bad, but nowhere near as "bad" as you might believe or portrayed in the video that I can tell just by reading the comments, have impacted other people who might be thinking about moving here. Seeing that some changed their mind and your video directly caused a potentially great new Bradenton resident, that would improve the area, has been lost due to your "standards" which is obviously a broad brush stroke that is more on the misinformation side than informative information. The result is that your misinformation is causing good people to go elsewhere. That's a big L 👎 for Bradenton. I'm not mad but simply talking about the discrepancies and misinformation in your video and shining a light on how your "standards" are not my standards or experiences, nor are they representing anyone else who is a resident of this city. Stay safe

Northwest corner of Bradenton and Anna Maria is it. The rest is hell. 9th St West is hell. All the way from Cortez road to Manatee River. Samoset used to be quaint. Used to be. Tropicana Juice Plant is nearby. Downtown Bradenton? What downtown? Main Street? Bayshore is middleclass. Lower middle class. The sidewalks are intermittent on US 41.
