Village Green Community
Where Neighbors are Friends!
 
Village Green is a prime subdivision within the City of Bradenton, Florida, located several blocks from the Palma Sola Bay beaches and just three miles from Anna Maria Island and its famous Gulf of Mexico beaches. We are a community where neighbors are friends and are proud to say they live in Village Green.
 
Village Green is managed by the non-mandatory Village Green Homeowners Association (VGHA). The VGHA Board of Directors is composed of dedicated and talented volunteers who are not compensated for their service.
 
The Village includes 1001 residences and over 2000 happy people. Residences include villa style condominiums and free standing homes. Common Grounds are kept in park-like condition by the VGHA.
 
The 426 condominium units are divided into 12 management sections. While each section differs in design, the sections are equal in quality. The condos are centrally maintained by their respective condo associations, and each has its own deed restrictions. The units are large and comfy and many sections include community swimming pools. The condos are included in the VGHA.
 
The 575 free standing homes also differ in design from one another, and are equal in quality. Homes range in size from 1400 sq. ft. to just over 2200 sq. ft. The homes are covered by community standards collectively placed on them by the homeowners. Owners maintain their own homes and land.
 

Reports of Crime in Bradenton
 
The vast majority of the Village Green area is virtually free of crime. The crimes generally reported in the area are mostly theft from unlocked cars that are not in garages, unlocked bicycles left out at night, and the occasional social gathering that has gotten too loud.

VILLAGE GREEN OF BRADENTON ADOPT A FLOWER BED  
 
Greetings Village Green of Bradenton Neighbors,
 
In order to maintain the “Beauty of Village Green” we are asking residents of the community to adopt a monument or flower bed. All of these beds are very small. Time required is just a few minutes a week or every few weeks. This includes weeding, picking up debris, resetting the landscape stones, trimming back bushes and branches and notifying the board of issues/problems. Do what you are able to do.   
 
All these areas are currently maintained by only a handful of board members and volunteer residents. If you live close to these beds please consider “adopting” one or more to maintain at your convenience.  The more volunteers per beds and monuments the better.  If you are a walker and pass by the long strip of common ground which is actually a park on 18th Ave, please feel free to pull a weed or do whatever is needed to keep it groomed.
 
To sign up for a location, email Nancy Green nthemermaid@yahoo.com. We will not print your name, but we will print the number of volunteers that have come forward for each location.
