Coral Shores East sits in the old fishing corner of Manatee County, close to the working waterfront of Cortez and the beaches beyond. It's a small, water-oriented pocket where a single-family home on a canal or lot is the norm, and neighboring communities like Lake Forest Estates, Shorelands and Sunset Harbor fill out the surrounding streets. Families here are zoned for Sea Breeze Elementary School and Bayshore High School, and downtown Tampa is about an hour up the road.
The market here is tight and moves fast. Right now there's just one active listing at $1,150,000 — a waterfront home with a pool — so inventory is genuinely thin, though Cortez homes for sale give you a wider field. Over the last 12 months six homes closed at a median of $651,500, with sellers getting about 95% of asking, so pricing discipline matters when a property does hit the market.
Coral Shores East is a community in Cortez, Florida.

Coral Shores East FAQs
Is Coral Shores East a good place to live?+
It's a small, water-focused neighborhood in the Cortez area, near the historic fishing village and close to the beaches of Anna Maria Island. Families are zoned for Sea Breeze Elementary School, W. D. Sugg Middle School and Bayshore High School, and it appeals to buyers who want a quiet, water-oriented setting within about an hour of Tampa.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
It runs premium — the single active listing is priced at $1,150,000, at about $626 per square foot for roughly 1,838 square feet. That said, closed sales over the past year tell a broader story, with a median sold price of $651,500, so what you pay depends heavily on the specific home.
What do homes cost in Coral Shores East?+
The one home on the market is listed at $1,150,000, and it's a waterfront property with a pool in the $1M-plus tier. Looking back over the last 12 months, six homes sold at a median of $651,500, which gives you a more grounded sense of the range beyond the current listing.
How is the market right now?+
Inventory is extremely thin — one active listing — and well-priced homes move fast, with the current listing showing a median of zero days on market. Sellers have been getting about 95% of asking on average, so buyers should be ready to act rather than negotiate from a position of surplus supply. You can track new listings on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't available for the current listing here, so any dues would depend on the specific property or sub-community like Sunset Harbor or Shorelands. Property taxes run around $5,463 per year at the median, which is a reasonable planning figure for this area.
