Dr. Phillips Elementary

It's a settled, family-oriented part of southwest Orlando with quick access to Universal (about eight minutes), downtown (roughly 21), and Disney (around 27). The housing skews toward gated communities and pool homes, and the location makes commuting and day trips genuinely easy. It's popular with buyers who want space and quiet without giving up proximity to the theme-park corridor.

It sits above the broader Orlando median, with a current median list price of $632,500 and homes selling at a median of $580,000 over the past year. There's real breadth, though — active prices start around $269,900 and climb past $13.5M, so the zone works for a range of budgets. Compared with nearby zones like Colonial High, this is a step up in price point.

Expect a median around $632,500 on active listings, with an average of $342 per square foot and a typical home size near 2,155 square feet. Fourteen listings currently sit above $1M, so the luxury end is well represented. Entry-level options exist starting near $269,900 for buyers watching their budget.

It's balanced and steady — 74 homes are active, the median time to sell is 55 days, and 213 homes closed over the last 12 months. Sellers are getting about 96% of asking on average, which signals negotiating room without a distressed market. Checking the live map is the fastest way to see current inventory.

With 37 of 74 active listings gated, HOA dues are common here — the median runs about $363 per month. Median property taxes come in around $7,078 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is roughly $3,400 per month. Budget for these carrying costs alongside your mortgage when you run the numbers.
