I've been living in Ellenton for over a year now and I love it! It's quaint and affordable. Perfect for young couples.

I loved it about ten wars ago when the town was just getting started. There was a lot of land. But now there's a lotttt of business which creates traffic. It's nice, don't get me wrong. Just getting crowded. Also, there's stuff to do but I just would like to see more. If it's going to be a big city, I would like for it to go all out.

There isn't much to do in Ellenton other than the outlet mall. It really isn't a town for the younger generation. However, it does have a low crime rate.
