Parrish Florida story and small town roots.

Parrish began as a quiet agricultural and railroad town in northern Manatee County and has grown into one of the most active areas for new homes along the Gulf Coast. You still see open land and farms alongside new neighborhoods, parks, and schools.

The Fort Hamer Bridge helped connect Parrish to Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and the rest of Manatee County. Today, Parrish offers a mix of new construction, established communities with mature trees, and areas that still feel rural while being close to everything.

• ✔ Railroad and agriculture history with ongoing growth in homes and amenities.
• ✔ Central location between Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, and Sarasota.
• ✔ Combination of master planned communities and quiet streets with larger lots.
• ✔ Easy drives to Gulf beaches, Manatee River parks, and major job centers.
