University Park sits in the northwest corner of Manatee County, a master-planned enclave built around golf, tree-lined boulevards, and a string of small named neighborhoods like Hampton Green, Wentworth, and Virginia Water. It's the kind of address where most homes sit behind gates and the pace leans toward maintained lawns, water views, and a round before lunch. The overwhelming majority of the housing here is single-family homes, with a handful of villas, condos, and townhomes filling in the edges.
Right now there are 43 active listings with a median list price of $699,000, spanning from a $240,000 entry point all the way to $4.25 million. Homes are averaging $356 per square foot on a median size around 2,061 square feet, and they're taking about 63 days to sell — enough time to negotiate rather than rush. If you're weighing options, it's worth watching the gated communities and the luxury homes ($1m+) segment, where 13 of the current listings sit.
University Park is in Manatee County, Florida.

University Park real estate FAQs
Is University Park a good place to live?+
It's a well-established, gated, golf-centered community in northwest Manatee County with mature landscaping and a mix of neighborhoods from Kenwood Park to Eaton Place. Downtown Tampa is roughly an hour away and Tampa International Airport about 70 minutes, so it's quiet and residential without being isolated.
Is University Park expensive?+
It sits at the upper end of the local market, with a median list price of $699,000 and homes averaging $356 per square foot. That said, the range is wide — entry-level listings start around $240,000, so the townhomes & condos and smaller villas offer more accessible price points.
What do homes cost in University Park?+
Active listings run from $240,000 up to $4,249,000, with a median of $699,000 on a typical home size near 2,061 square feet. If you want to sort by budget, you can browse by price to see where the entry-level inventory sits.
How is the market right now?+
There are 43 homes active and they're taking a median of 63 days to sell, which gives buyers room to negotiate rather than compete in a frenzy. It's worth checking the just reduced listings, since that pace tends to produce price adjustments.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes like?+
The median HOA runs about $598 per month, reflecting the gated, amenity-heavy setup, and median property taxes are around $8,115 per year. Budget for both on top of your mortgage, since they're a meaningful part of the monthly cost here.
