PARRISH, Fla. (Jan. 18, 2023) Neal Land & Neighborhoods, a Manatee and Sarasota-based master-planned community developer, is pleased to announce the start of construction of Camp Creek – a new and unique amenity coming to the master-planned community of North River Ranch. Camp Creek will be located in the heart of the community. North River Ranch, voted Best Community in Bradenton, is an amenity-rich, active living community featuring award-winning home builders, home designs and amenities.

In addition to the existing community amenities, the 12+ acres of Camp Creek bring many new and exciting features to the community, including Camp Creek Clubhouse, a 4,859-square-foot main gathering and social amenity hub with indoor and outdoor living, a canteen-style café, and workspaces. The Headwaters Swim Center will offer a resort-style pool with a double-loop slide, tropical landscape, and ample lounge and passive spaces.

“This is an amenity unlike any other in a Manatee County community,” says John A. Neal, president of Neal Land & Neighborhoods. “Camp Creek is going to be a fun destination for residents to enjoy, and it complements the array of amenities that make North River Ranch the best place to live in the area.”

Late last year, North River Ranch announced a wellness-focused Village Center anchored by HCA Hospital and a Market Walk shopping area to be part of the community. Market Walk will be anchored by Publix, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. Other retailers will be announced throughout the year. Both amenities are thoughtfully designed to encourage pedestrian use and will be conveniently accessible to the community.

Neal shares, “North River Ranch is designed to be a community that draws folks out of their homes to interact, participate, connect and have fun. Even our retail centers are designed to be more than utilitarian community features; they are destinations, social hubs, and an integral part of the neighborhood. With access to a new hospital, shopping center, schools, and much more, North River Ranch is the primary residential destination in Manatee County.”
