CopperLeaf and Greyhawk Landing are neighboring communities in eastern Bradenton, both off Upper Manatee River Road and both in the 34212 ZIP code. If you're shopping in this area, you're likely to consider both. Here's how they compare based on verified data.
Community Overview
CopperLeaf was built by Lennar between 2017 and 2019. It's a gated community of approximately 85 single-family homes with a maintenance-free lifestyle. There is no CDD bond.
Greyhawk Landing was built primarily between 2003 and 2006 by several builders. It's a larger community with over 400 homes, featuring a staffed gatehouse and a wider variety of home sizes and styles. Greyhawk Landing also has no CDD bond.
Home Sizes and Prices
CopperLeaf Homes range from approximately 1,475 to 3,867 square feet. Recent sales (2025-2026) have ranged from $450,000 to $705,000, with a median around $600,000-$640,000.
Greyhawk Landing: Homes range from approximately 1,600 to over 4,500 square feet. The broader range of home sizes means a wider price spread. The median sale price has recently been around $675,000.
HOA and Fees
CopperLeaf: HOA is $301-$383/month. Includes exterior maintenance and lawn care (maintenance-free).
Greyhawk Landing: HOA varies by section. Does not typically include lawn maintenance, which means you maintain your own yard or hire a service.
Neither community has a CDD bond, which is a significant cost advantage over many nearby communities.
Amenities
CopperLeaf: Community pool, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, lake access, gated entry.
Greyhawk Landing: Community pool, clubhouse, playground, basketball court, athletic fields, walking trails, staffed gatehouse, lake access.
Greyhawk Landing's larger footprint supports more extensive recreation amenities. CopperLeaf’s amenities are newer but sized for a smaller community.
Construction Age
This is the biggest differentiator. CopperLeaf homes are 7-9 years old. Greyhawk Landing homes are 20-23 years old. Newer construction generally means more current building codes, newer HVAC and roofing systems, and more modern floor plan designs. However, many Greyhawk Landing homeowners have updated their homes over the years.
Schools
Both communities are zoned for the same Manatee County public schools: Freedom Elementary, Carlos E. Haile Middle School, and Lakewood Ranch High School.
Bottom Line
Choose CopperLeaf if you want newer construction, maintenance-free living, and a smaller, more intimate community.
Choose Greyhawk Landing if you want a larger selection of homes, more extensive amenities, established landscaping, and potentially more home for your money in the larger floor plans.
