Rosedale is a gated golf community in Bradenton, Manatee County, off SR 70 near the Lakewood Ranch corridor, built around the Rosedale Golf and Country Club. The club's Ted McAnlis designed course opened in 1993, and the community grew over the following decades into interconnected neighborhoods of villas and single-family homes (GolfPass and Rosedale Golf and Country Club, 2026).
The community is really several sections. The original Rosedale neighborhoods north of SR 70 date to the 1990s, while the newer Links addition added single-family home sites on a separate parcel south of SR 70, many with water views, expanding the community in the years after it was approved (Commercial Property Executive, 2022). Age, fees, and membership obligations vary by section.
The Rosedale name covers maintenance-included villas and larger single-family homes, so the money is made or lost on the neighborhood, the membership tier, and an honest read of condition and the lot, not the headline price. Whether a mandatory club membership applies is the key line to confirm per parcel.
The pitch is gated golf living with strong access: SR 70 connects quickly to I-75, putting the UTC mall, Lakewood Ranch, and the Sarasota Bradenton airport within a manageable drive. The work is matching the section and membership to how you will use the club, and confirming the HOA, any CDD line, and the club dues before you fall for a view.
