Bradenton Missionary Village

The Bradenton Missionary Village was the vision of Mr. Anthony Rossi, Christian philanthropist and founder of Tropicana Orange Juice. His desire was to develop a Christ-centered community where evangelical missionaries could retire and live among others with a similar lifestyle and continue their ministry involvement in the local community. Mr. Rossi's vision became a reality when the first residents moved in, February 1981.

Situated on Central Florida's fabulous Gulf Coast, the Bradenton Missionary Village is located 8 miles east of Bradenton, Florida.Our selection of 130 lakefront and 60 lake view apartments provides privacy and allows enjoyment of a Florida retirement lifestyle while relieving residents of some of the burdensome responsibilities of private home care.
