Whitfield, locally known as Whitfield Estates, is a census-designated place (CDP) in Manatee County, Florida, United States. The population was 2,984 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Bradenton–Sarasota–Venice Metropolitan Statistical Area. It receives its mail from the Sarasota post office located in Sarasota County.
The Whitfield Estates Subdivision is a residential development in Whitfield, Manatee County, Florida, in the Sarasota metropolitan area, that was platted in 1925. Although the Whitfield Estates Subdivision is in Manatee County, Florida, not in the city of Sarasota, Florida (in Sarasota County) proper, residents use "Sarasota" as their mailing address and have associated themselves more with Sarasota, just to the south, rather than with Bradenton, a bit further to the north in Manatee County.
