Watercolor Place is a new construction HOA community in Bradenton by Neal Signature Homes offering upper mid-range homes, currently selling. Luxury homes at Lakewood Ranch with resort amenities.
Neal Signature Homes is Neal Communities' luxury custom division — building semi-custom and custom homes in Southwest Florida's upper-end markets. Neal Signature buyers get the regional expertise and subcontractor relationships of the Neal brand with significantly more design latitude than production builder programs.
Location context: Manatee County is served by I-75, US-41, and SR-64/SR-70. Lakewood Ranch and Parrish access I-75 directly. Bradenton connects to St. Petersburg via the Manatee Avenue bridges. The county's position between Tampa and Sarasota makes both employment markets accessible (~40–50 min to either downtown).
