Scuba Ghost

We are looking at a house in Palmetto that we really like. Built in 2004, block & stucco, 1,700 sq. ft., 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage, solar heated salt water pool with waterfall, small lake behind backyard, not in a flood zone, tile throughout, new HVAC & water heater, roof is 7 years old, taxes $2,830. Asking price is $280,000, realtor says they will take $270,000
When we were driving around the area everything seems to be over the bridge in Bradenton or Sarasota but its only a 5-10 minute drive.
Anyone live in or near Palmetto? Good? Bad?
Thanks

Palmetto is a good area. You're just right over the Skyway bridge from St. Pete where there's a lot more going on and things to do than down in Bradenton.

We live up the road from Palmetto in Parrish. For the most part it is a nice little town close to Bradenton, Sarasota and close to St Petersburg. Crossing the Green Bridge to Bradenton (business 41) is a pain in the during the morning rush, the rest of the day is okay. Good luck!

Good location. Not to far from the good things around the area, and far enough away from the bad.
