1400 1St Ave W

An eight-story concrete-and-steel condominium completed in 1972 and oriented to the Manatee River, this midrise offers predominantly two-bedroom units configured for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The building’s exterior includes private balconies, hurricane shutters, covered assigned parking/carports, gated entry in some units, and planted courtyard/terrace areas for small gardening. Interiors commonly feature higher ceilings, crown and tray moldings, walk-in closets, open eat-in kitchens or kitchen/family combos, built-in shelving and desks, stone or solid-surface counters, and a mix of tile and carpet flooring. The property is organized around an elevator bank with laundry rooms on each floor, a secured lobby, and a party/meeting room with kitchenette for resident events. Quarterly assessments typically cover water, sewer, trash and basic cable, and an on-site storage room is common. The condominium operates under a 55+ age restriction with a no-pets policy and rules restricting motorcycles and trucks; applications and interviews are required. Located at the western end of Bradenton’s Riverwalk, the building places residents steps from riverfront promenades, parks, the public library, restaurants, arts venues and nearby downtown services, while Gulf beaches are a short drive away.
