2901 26th Street W, Unit 818Bradenton, FL 34205Price: $134,000

Watch the sunsets every night from your top floor residence! Only 20 minutes to Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island. 30 minutes to Longboat Key and St. Armands Circle. This light and bright, top floor, 2 bedroom, 2 bath at Raintree Condos is about as easy as Florida living gets. If you have been renting a place down here every winter, this is the one that makes owning make sense instead. It is fully furnished, the fee covers nearly everything, and you can lock the door and leave for months at a time without worrying about a lawn or a roof. All you truly need to do is bring yourself and your clothes. The building is secured with buzz-in entry, and the lobby has your mailboxes, storage lockers, elevators, and the community management office all right there. The unit itself is clean and well maintained with laminate flooring throughout. This home lives bigger than its 940 square feet thanks to an open layout and a split floor plan that puts a bedroom on either side of the living area, so guests have their own space and so do you. Off the living room is a private, screened balcony, which is my favorite part of this one. You can sit out there with your coffee in the morning or unwind out there at night and the bugs stay outside where they belong. Did I mention you can watch the gorgeous Florida sunsets from here? Amenities include a community laundry room just steps from your front door, as well as a library, a kitchen for parties and events, and a community pool. This is also a pet friendly building, with each owner allowed to have two pets up to 10 pounds each. You also get one assigned parking space, and there is plenty of guest parking for visitors. This is truly maintenance fee living, as the HOA fee basically covers everything you need including building and pool maintenance, cable, internet, water, sewer, and trash. Day to day, you are 2 miles from Publix, 3 miles from Detwiler's Market, and 2 miles from Pinebrook Ironwood Golf Course. Manatee Avenue West and all of its restaurants and coffee shops is about 10 minutes away. Come check it out and claim it before someone else does!
