The Palmetto Historic District serves as the city’s quaint downtown area, offering an array of mom-and-pop shops and eateries in colorful, historic storefronts. Palmetto’s small-town feel is also furthered by a strong sense of community, which is fostered by regular events like the DeSoto Seafood Festival, A Taste of Manatee, and Movies in the Park.

Most Palmetto rentals are within minutes of beautiful waterfront views, with the city bordering Terra Ceia Bay as well as the Manatee River. Shopping options abound near the community, with Red Barn Plaza Flea Market and Ellenton Premium Outlets both just a short drive away.
