Phillippi Gardens sits in a quietly established pocket of Sarasota, where mature lots and single-story homes trade proximity to the water for a settled, unhurried feel. Pools are the norm here, waterfront parcels come up now and then, and the location keeps you within easy reach of Lido Key beaches and the arts-and-dining energy building around the Rosemary District. Families gravitate to the assigned Phillippi Shores Elementary and Riverview High, both known quantities in the local school landscape.
This is a low-inventory neighborhood, so expect a short list and real competition. There are just 6 active listings today with a median list price of $1,124,000, while the 19 homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $560,000 — a gap that reflects how much a renovated or waterfront property can stretch the ceiling. Homes that are priced right move in about 40 days, and sellers are pulling in roughly 96% of asking, so serious buyers should come prepared. Browse the wider market of Sarasota homes for sale if you want to compare nearby options like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores.

Phillippi Gardens FAQs
Is Phillippi Gardens a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want an established Sarasota neighborhood with pools and occasional waterfront rather than a cookie-cutter subdivision. The assigned schools — Phillippi Shores Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High — are a real draw for families, and you're a short drive from Lido Key and downtown dining.
Is Phillippi Gardens expensive?+
It runs at the higher end for Sarasota, with a median list price of $1,124,000 and an average of $499 per square foot. That said, the range is wide — from $495,000 up to $1,685,000 — and the 19 homes sold last year closed at a median of $560,000, so there's meaningful room depending on condition and whether a home is on the water.
What do homes cost in Phillippi Gardens?+
Active listings currently span $495,000 to $1,685,000, with a median list of $1,124,000 on a median home size of about 1,997 square feet. Actual sold prices have been more grounded, with a median sold price of $560,000 over the past 12 months.
How is the market right now?+
It's tight and competitive, with just 6 active listings and homes taking a median of 40.5 days to sell. Sellers are averaging 96% of their asking price, so serious buyers should be ready to move on the right property rather than expect deep discounts.
