The Ida M. Stewart Elementary zone sits in Cortez, on the Manatee County coast where fishing-village roots meet Gulf-access living. Nearly half of what's for sale here — 42 of 88 active listings — is waterfront, and a third comes with a pool, so this is a place organized around getting on the water and staying outside. It's a slower-paced pocket of the region, closer to boats and barrier-island beaches than to the big-city grind; Tampa is roughly 69 minutes away when you actually need it.
For a buyer today, this is a real range. The Cortez homes for sale run from $235,000 to nearly $10 million, with a median list price of $697,450 and 26 listings above $1 million — so the same zone holds both attainable and trophy waterfront. Homes are sitting a median of 70 days and sellers are getting about 95% of asking, which tells you there's room to negotiate if you come in prepared. Scan the live map to see how price tracks with water access before you tour anything.
