Rosedale Highlands is a gated pocket of east Bradenton where the pace is quiet and the layout feels considered — homes sit on manicured streets close to the Braden River corridor, with easy reach to shopping and the wider Lakewood Ranch area. It's the kind of neighborhood that draws buyers who want a locked-gate address and room to breathe without giving up connectivity. Nearby communities like Heritage Harbour and Braden River East round out the corridor, and the broader Bradenton market puts the Gulf and downtown Tampa within a comfortable drive.
Right now the inventory here is genuinely thin — just three active listings, all gated, with a median list price of $530,000. Over the past year only five homes changed hands at a median of $455,000, and sellers averaged 94% of asking, so there's modest room to negotiate. With a median 45 days on market, this isn't a frenzy — it's a market where a prepared buyer can move deliberately. If you want more options, it's worth looking at neighboring Oneco and Bay Shore Gardens too.
Rosedale Highlands is a community in Bradenton, Florida.

Rosedale Highlands FAQs
Is Rosedale Highlands a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a gated, low-key east Bradenton address with strong school assignments — Braden River Elementary, Dr Mona Jain Middle, and Lakewood Ranch High. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, and it sits close to the Braden River corridor and communities like Heritage Harbour. Tampa is reachable at roughly 54 minutes for work or travel.
Is Rosedale Highlands expensive?+
It's a mid-market Bradenton neighborhood, with a median list price of $530,000 and active listings ranging from $515,000 to $545,000. The median sold price over the last year was $455,000, so recent buyers paid a bit under current asking levels. There are no listings above $1M here at the moment.
What do homes cost in Rosedale Highlands?+
Expect around $271 per square foot on a median home of about 1,958 square feet, which lands most homes near the $515,000–$545,000 range. Five homes sold in the past 12 months at a median of $455,000. Compared to the broader Bradenton market, it's a tight, gated segment with limited supply.
How is the market in Rosedale Highlands?+
Inventory is very limited — just three active listings — and homes take a median of 45 days to sell. Sellers averaged 94% of asking over the past year, so it's a measured market where buyers have some negotiating room. With so few homes trading, timing and preparation matter more than speed.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA here runs about $418 per month, which reflects the gated setup and community upkeep. Median property taxes come in around $4,032 per year. Budget for both when you're comparing this neighborhood against non-gated options nearby like Oneco.
