Phillippi Cove
A quiet pocket close to Sarasota's bay life
Phillippi Cove sits in the sweet spot of south Sarasota — close enough to the water that Phillippi Creek and Sarasota Bay shape the pace of daily life, yet tucked away from the busier corridors. Homes here feed into well-regarded schools like Phillippi Shores Elementary, and the neighborhood keeps an easygoing, residential character while the beaches and downtown culture of greater Sarasota stay within easy reach. If you like the idea of being near the coast without the density of Lido Key or the nightlife of the Rosemary District, this is that middle ground.
The market reality: this is a small, tightly held neighborhood, and right now there are zero active listings. Over the last 12 months just four homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $620,000, with sellers netting about 94% of their asking price. That combination of low inventory and steady demand means buyers should be ready to move quickly and to watch adjacent areas like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores and Sky Ranch when a home does come up.

Phillippi Cove FAQs
Is Phillippi Cove a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, residential pocket of south Sarasota with easy access to the bay, beaches, and downtown culture. Families appreciate the assigned schools — Phillippi Shores Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High — and the location keeps you close to spots like Lido Key without living in the middle of the crowds.
Is Phillippi Cove expensive?+
It sits in the mid-to-upper range for Sarasota neighborhoods, with a median sold price of $620,000 over the past 12 months. It's more attainable than the barrier-island markets but still reflects the premium of being close to the water.
What do homes cost in Phillippi Cove?+
The four homes sold in the last year came in at a median of $620,000. Because there are currently zero active listings, buyers often need to look at nearby areas like Sky Ranch while waiting for the right home here to hit the market.
How is the market in Phillippi Cove?+
It's low-inventory and tightly held — just four sales in the past 12 months and no active listings right now. Sellers have averaged 94% of asking, so when a home does list, buyers should be prepared to act rather than wait for a bidding war to fizzle.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Specific HOA and property tax figures aren't available for the current data set, which is common in a small neighborhood with few recent transactions. For a home you're considering, we can pull the exact HOA and tax numbers from the listing and county records before you make an offer.
