Description:
Carlton Arms of Bradenton is a large, established apartment community offering studio to three-bedroom units in a waterfront setting along the Manatee River. Originally built in 1980, this property is known for its expansive layout, outdoor amenities, and wide range of floor plan options. With over 900 units spread across a multi-acre property, it offers a more spacious, park-like environment compared to newer, high-density developments. Its location near SR-64 provides quick access to I-75, downtown Bradenton, and surrounding areas.
