River Place is a low-rise, gated condominium community built in 1983 along the Manatee River in Ellenton, Florida. The complex is two stories tall and primarily composed of two-bedroom units configured with split and dual-primary layouts; some homes span two levels. Architectural character leans toward Old Florida seaside styling with screened lanais, vaulted and cathedral ceilings, sliding glass doors, and generous windows that prioritize water views. Interior features commonly include open floorplans, eat-in kitchens, built-in cabinetry, stone or solid-surface counters, wood or tile floors, abundant closet/storage space and in-unit laundry hookups. Shared facilities are oriented to waterfront living: a private marina with deeded boat slips and lifts, covered assigned parking, oversized storage closets, community pool and poolhouse with grills and fish-cleaning station, tennis courts, kayak/paddleboard storage, and exterior lighting and landscaped grounds. Building systems include elevator access, covered under-building parking, and condo-maintained roofing, docks, seawall and utilities; condo fees cover flood insurance, exterior maintenance, reserves, cable and common-area services. The location offers immediate river access with short runs to the Intracoastal and Gulf, plus quick drives to area beaches, shopping and I-75, delivering a relaxed boating-focused lifestyle within a small, well-maintained complex of under 30 units.
