Ridgewood Oaks is an all-ages community in Ellenton, a growing area of Manatee County positioned between Tampa and Sarasota. The location offers convenient access to both regions’ employment centers, shopping, and entertainment without the intensity of either city’s core.
Lot rent ranges from $450 to $750 monthly, with utilities handled through city services - water, sewer, and trash pickup are included. Off-street parking and paved streets provide practical, everyday convenience.
Ellenton itself sits along the Interstate 75 corridor, making it a practical base for residents who work or spend time in the Tampa Bay area or further south. The community’s hot-humid climate is typical for central Florida, requiring standard seasonal adjustments but offering year-round outdoor activity when weather permits.
The area is close enough to established shopping and dining in nearby Bradenton, yet maintains a quieter residential feel. Residents benefit from proximity to regional healthcare, schools, and recreational facilities without the higher costs associated with more developed coastal communities.
Ridgewood Oaks is located in Climate Zone 1. A HOT-HUMID climate is defined as a region that receives more than 20 inches (50 cm) of annual precipitation, and where the monthly average outdoor temperature remains above 67°F (19.5°C) throughout the year.
Knowing your area’s climate zone (as assigned by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building America Program into one of eight zones), can help you predict your heating and cooling needs. Humidity and temperature can of course vary, even by county.
The Building America HOT-HUMID climate zone corresponds to the portions of IECC zones 2 and 3 in the dry category.
