Phillippi Gardens sits in that sweet spot of Sarasota where you can have a pool, a boat, and a short drive to the water without living on top of your neighbors. Homes here run from mid-century ranches to updated waterfront properties, and the neighborhood feeds well-regarded schools like Phillippi Shores Elementary and Riverview High. It's an easy reach to the beaches at Lido Key, the arts and dining around the Rosemary District, and the wider mix of Sarasota homes for sale just up the road.
For a buyer today, this is a small, tightly-held market — only 7 active listings right now, with a median list price of $998,000 and prices spanning $495,000 to $1,685,000.

Phillippi Gardens FAQs
Is Phillippi Gardens a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want space, a pool, and easy access to the water without a high-rise lifestyle. Most homes here have pools — six of the seven current listings do — and the area feeds Phillippi Shores Elementary and Riverview High. You're also close to Lido Key beaches and downtown Sarasota.
Is Phillippi Gardens expensive?+
It's a higher-end pocket of Sarasota, with a median list price of $998,000 and three of the seven active listings priced above $1M. That said, the range runs from $495,000 to $1,685,000, so there's more spread than the median suggests. The median home sold over the past year went for $560,000, closer to the entry end of the current lineup.
What do homes cost in Phillippi Gardens?+
Active listings average about $510 per square foot on a median home size of 1,971 square feet, with asking prices from $495,000 to $1,685,000. The 19 homes sold in the last 12 months had a median sold price of $560,000. Waterfront and larger properties push the top of the range.
How is the market in Phillippi Gardens right now?+
It's a small, active market — 7 homes for sale and 19 sold over the past year — so inventory is limited. Homes take a median of 26 days to sell and sellers are getting about 96% of asking, which points to steady, realistic pricing. Comparable Sarasota neighborhoods like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores show similar demand for waterfront-adjacent living.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
