Phillippi Gardens

It's a good fit if you want a quiet, spread-out south Sarasota setting with quick access to the coast and downtown. Pools are nearly standard and several homes sit on Phillippi Creek, and the neighborhood feeds well-regarded schools including Riverview High. It's calmer than beach communities like Lido Key while staying close to the action.

The current median list price is about $1,074,950, with active listings ranging from $495,000 up to $1,597,000, so there's real spread depending on whether you're buying waterfront. That said, the median home actually sold over the past 12 months closed at $560,000, so list prices lean toward the higher end of the inventory. Comparing against nearby areas like the Rosemary District helps put the range in context.

Expect to pay around $501 per square foot on average, with a median home size near 1,839 sqft. Over the last year, 18 homes sold at a median price of $560,000, while today's active listings carry a higher median asking price near $1.07M driven by waterfront and larger properties.

Inventory is tight with just 6 active listings, and homes take their time here at a median 93.5 days on market. Sellers are getting about 96% of asking on average, so there's typically some negotiating room, especially on listings that have sat a while.

There's no reported HOA figure for this neighborhood, so most homes here aren't tied to mandatory association dues. The median property tax runs about $6,530 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent sits around $4,370 per month.
