The Islands on Manatee River Homes For Sale | Parrish, FL

The Islands on the Manatee River homes for sale sit along the banks of the Manatee River within the River Wilderness area of Parrish, a 225-acre gated community with 178 luxury homesites. Two distinct neighborhoods make up the community, Harbourside in Spanish Colonial, traditional, or British West Indies styles, and River Isle in Mediterranean and Old Spanish architecture.
