Oak Creek sits in Ellenton, the kind of Manatee County pocket where pool homes on generous lots and established communities like Covered Bridge Estates and Ridgewood Meadows set the tone. It's a settled, family-oriented stretch with easy access north — downtown Tampa is about 46 minutes away — and assigned schools that draw buyers looking to plant roots rather than chase the next flip.
The market here is small and slow-moving, which changes how you should shop. With just two active listings and a median list price of $586,950, inventory is thin enough that the right home doesn't come along every week — homes that did sell over the past year went for a median $612,000, and sellers collected about 94% of asking. Watch the live map and browse nearby options in Oakley Place if timing matters to you.

Oak Creek FAQs
Is Oak Creek a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, established slice of Ellenton built around family-oriented communities like Bougainvillea Place and Highland Shores. Assigned schools include Buffalo Creek Middle and Palmetto High, and downtown Tampa is about 46 minutes away, so you get suburban calm without cutting yourself off from Bay-area jobs.
Is Oak Creek expensive?+
It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the area, with a median list price of $586,950 and homes running from about $549,000 to $624,900. At roughly $252 per square foot for a median 2,343-square-foot home, you're paying for space and established communities rather than a waterfront premium.
What do homes cost in Oak Creek?+
Current active listings are priced between $549,000 and $624,900, with a median of $586,950. Over the past 12 months the two homes that sold closed at a median of $612,000, so recent buyers have paid in that upper-$500s-to-low-$600s band.
How is the market right now?+
It's a thin, patient market — just two active listings and two sales over the past year, with homes taking a median 62 days to sell. Sellers averaged about 94% of asking, which tells you there's room to negotiate, but you'll want to move quickly when a home you like appears at Ridgewood Meadows or elsewhere in the neighborhood.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Expect a median HOA of about $150 a month, which is modest for a community with shared amenities. Property taxes run around $6,714 a year at current values, so factor both into your monthly budget alongside the mortgage.
