Aerial view of Greyhawk Landing, a gated community in Bradenton, Florida

Greyhawk Landing is a gated, guard-attended community in East Manatee County near Bradenton, known for its resort-style amenities, conservation and lake settings, and a wide range of single-family homes. It's organized as a Community Development District (CDD) with a property owners association, and it includes both an East and a West side.

If you're considering a home in Greyhawk Landing, this guide covers what actually matters to a buyer or seller here — the amenities, the gated setup, the fees to expect, and the community rules that shape day-to-day living. Where fees change year to year, I've pointed you to the right source to confirm current numbers, because getting those right matters more than getting them fast.

Where is Greyhawk Landing?

Greyhawk Landing is located in the eastern part of Manatee County, in the Bradenton area — convenient to the growth corridor around Lakewood Ranch while keeping its own gated, tucked-away feel with lakes and preserved natural areas throughout. The community has two sides, GreyHawk Landing East and GreyHawk West. The community clubhouse is located at 12350 Mulberry Avenue, Bradenton, FL 34212.

What amenities does Greyhawk Landing have?

Greyhawk Landing is built around resort-style recreation. Based on the community's own documents, residents have access to:

• Two community pools — a Recreation Center pool and a Clubhouse pool (the Clubhouse pool offers evening swimming)
• A fitness center
• Tennis courts, with a cabana area overlooking the courts
• Pickleball courts
• Basketball courts
• A playground
• A clubhouse with a ballroom and covered pool deck, plus a Recreation Center with a covered pool area (both reservable for gatherings)
• Community lakes and ponds where fishing is permitted — many homes back directly to a pond, lake, or conservation area
• Protected nature, wetland, and conservation areas woven through the community

The lakes and preserves are a big part of the appeal here — a lot of homesites look out over water or protected green space rather than another rooftop.

Is Greyhawk Landing a gated community?

Yes. Greyhawk Landing is gated with a staffed guard gate. Residents receive gate access codes and entry clickers, and guests are managed through the guard gate and a call-box directory. For a lot of buyers, that guard-attended entrance is a meaningful part of the community's appeal.

What are the HOA and CDD fees in Greyhawk Landing?

Greyhawk Landing has two things worth understanding, and buyers sometimes confuse them:

1. The Property Owners Association (POA/HOA). The association maintains the common areas, recreation facilities, guardhouses, community roads, lighting, landscaping buffers, lakes, and conservation areas. It's managed by RealManage.

2. The Community Development District (CDD). Greyhawk Landing is a CDD established under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes. A CDD is a special taxing district that funds and maintains community infrastructure, and its assessments typically appear on your annual property tax bill — separate from the HOA dues.

Because both the HOA dues and the CDD assessment can change year to year, I don't want to publish a figure that might be out of date and mislead you. For current, exact numbers, confirm the HOA dues through the management company (RealManage) and the CDD assessment through the Greyhawk Landing CDD directly — and I'm glad to help you get both when you're looking at a specific home, so you know your true monthly and annual cost before you make a decision.

What are the community rules in Greyhawk Landing?

Greyhawk Landing has an active association with community standards that keep the neighborhood consistent. A few that commonly come up with buyers:

Pets: County-licensed domestic pets are allowed; leashes are required outside your home or fenced area, and owners clean up after their pets.
Fences: Permitted with written association approval — aluminum or wrought iron in black or bronze, generally 4–5 feet, with placement rules (for example, restrictions on corner lots and boulevard-facing sides).
Pools: Require written association approval before work begins, along with a survey and the pool company's plan.
Solar panels: Allowed with association approval.
Boats, RVs, and campers: Not stored or parked in driveways or outside an enclosed garage (short load/unload windows apply with approval). Worth knowing if you own a boat or RV.
Golf carts: Not permitted for community-wide street use and must be garaged out of view.
Overnight street parking: Not allowed in the early-morning hours.
Exterior changes: Most exterior modifications need written approval from the architectural committee, which has a set review window.

If you're planning something specific — a fence, a pool, solar, or keeping a boat — it's worth confirming the current rules and leasing policies with the association before you buy, and I'm happy to help you get clear answers for the exact home you're considering.

Is Greyhawk Landing a good fit for you?

Greyhawk Landing tends to appeal to buyers who want space, a gated and guarded entrance, real amenities, and a natural setting of lakes and preserves — while still being close to the shopping, dining, and growth of the East Manatee and Lakewood Ranch area. Whether it's the right fit depends on your priorities, your budget including the CDD, and the specific home and homesite. That's where I can help.

Thinking about buying or selling in Greyhawk Landing? I'd be glad to help you understand the community, the true cost of ownership, and whether a particular home fits what you're after — no pressure, just straight answers.
