Heritage Harbour, Bradenton FL: Neighborhoods, Golf, Prices & HOA Guide

By Linda Reynolds, Broker, Reynolds Realty Gulf Coast (License #BK3021695) · Updated November 2026

Quick answer: Heritage Harbour is a 2,500-acre master-planned community in northeast Bradenton, Florida (34212), along the Manatee River at State Road 64 and I-75. It includes three main neighborhoods, Stoneybrook, River Strand and Lighthouse Cove, with condos, townhomes and single-family homes, two golf courses, lakes, trails and a community park. The median sale price has been roughly $390,000 to $420,000.

Heritage Harbour gives you a choice: gated golf living, a full country club lifestyle, or an affordable townhome, all in one community minutes from I-75, Lakewood Ranch and downtown Bradenton. Because each neighborhood has its own association, the fees and amenities vary a lot, so this guide walks through each one, along with prices, HOA and CDD costs, and what to check before you buy. For the bigger picture, see my Bradenton real estate guide.

What are the neighborhoods in Heritage Harbour?

Stoneybrook

Stoneybrook is a gated golf community with Spanish Mediterranean style single-family homes, villas and condos around Heritage Harbour Golf Club. The 18-hole course was designed by Arthur Hills and was once called Stoneybrook Golf Club. Golf is optional: you can pay as you play or buy a membership, so there are no mandatory golf fees. Residents have pools, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball and playgrounds.

River Strand Golf and Country Club

River Strand is a gated, resort-style community of about 1,260 homes built mostly by Lennar from 2006 to 2018. It has 27 holes of championship golf designed by Arthur Hills, a large clubhouse with dining, resort and satellite pools, a fitness center, and tennis and pickleball courts. The golf membership is bundled into the HOA, so dues are higher than elsewhere in Heritage Harbour, but you get unlimited access. Homes range from condos and coach homes to large single-family homes.

Lighthouse Cove

Lighthouse Cove is usually the most affordable way into Heritage Harbour. Built mainly from 2004 to 2008, it has townhomes, condos and single-family homes with community pools, and it sits across from Heritage Harbour Park.

What is it like to live in Heritage Harbour?

Lakes, preserves and walking paths run through the community, with the lighthouse tower and the gazebo as landmarks along the way. Heritage Harbour Park, in the middle of the community, has a large lake, shaded trails, playgrounds, baseball and soccer fields, and a disc golf course. Because there are no age restrictions, you’ll find young families, working professionals, retirees and seasonal residents.

What do homes cost in Heritage Harbour?

Over the past year, the median sale price has been roughly $390,000 to $420,000, a little lower than the year before. Two-bedroom condos have sold in the $200,000s, townhomes in the mid-$300,000s and single-family homes around $500,000, with golf-view and larger River Strand and Stoneybrook homes selling well above that. Homes have taken about three months to sell on average, so buyers have room to negotiate.

Prices change month to month. Call or text me for current sales in the Heritage Harbour neighborhood you’re considering.

How much are the HOA and CDD fees?

Fees depend on the neighborhood and even the section. In Stoneybrook, HOA dues have been a few hundred dollars a quarter, and most homes also pay an annual CDD assessment through the Heritage Harbour South CDD. River Strand dues are much higher, often around $1,900 a quarter, because they include the golf and country club membership, cable and internet. Condo and townhome associations add their own fees for building insurance and exterior upkeep. Some sections have no CDD at all. I pull the exact HOA, condo and CDD amounts for every home before you make an offer. My guide to HOAs and CDDs in Manatee County explains how they work.

What should you know before buying in Heritage Harbour?

  • Compare total monthly costs. Add the HOA, any condo fee, the CDD and golf costs together. A River Strand home with golf included may cost less than buying a membership elsewhere if you play often.
  • Flood zone. Part of Heritage Harbour is in a Special Flood Hazard Area near the river and lakes, where lenders require flood insurance. Check the specific address. See flood zones and flood insurance in Manatee County.
  • Insurance. Get wind and homeowners quotes during your inspection period. My homeowners insurance guide covers what to ask.
  • Schools. Carlos E. Haile Middle School is nearby on State Road 64, but zoning varies within the community. Confirm assignments with the Manatee County School District.
  • Homestead exemption. If this will be your permanent home, here is how homestead works in Manatee County.
