The Dr. Phillips High zone sits in southwest Orlando, a leafy stretch of lakes, gated subdivisions and restaurant rows that puts you closer to Universal Orlando than almost anywhere else in the metro — about six minutes away. It's a part of town that suits families, professionals and anyone who wants quiet neighborhood streets without giving up quick access to work, the airport and a Saturday at the parks. With 98 of the active listings sitting behind gates and a healthy share near the water, this is an area that leans toward established, amenity-minded communities.
For buyers today, the market here is broad. There are 289 active listings and a median list price of $260,000, but the range runs from $115,000 all the way to $13,500,000 — so condos and luxury lakefront estates share the same zone. Homes are taking a median of 70 days to sell, and over the past year 551 closings landed at a median sold price of $450,000 with sellers collecting about 96% of asking.

Living in the Dr. Phillips High zone
The Dr. Phillips High attendance zone covers a well-established slice of southwest Orlando, an area defined by lakes, mature landscaping and a dense collection of gated neighborhoods. Its defining feature is proximity: Universal Orlando is about six minutes away, which makes the area a natural fit for people who work in or near the tourism corridor. This is residential Orlando at its most convenient — quiet subdivision streets that are only a short drive from the metro's biggest employers and attractions.
The housing character leans toward established communities rather than sprawling new development. Of the 289 active listings, 98 sit behind gates, 39 have pools and 18 are on the water — a mix that tells you amenities and privacy are central to how this area was built. That profile suits families, professionals and second-home buyers who want a turnkey neighborhood with shared infrastructure already in place.
It's also an area of real contrast. The same zone holds condos listed around $115,000 and luxury estates reaching $13,500,000, so your experience of the area depends heavily on which segment you shop. Buyers can genuinely find both an entry-level starter and a lakefront showpiece within the same attendance boundary.
Schools for homes in the Dr. Phillips High zone
This page is organized around the Dr. Phillips High attendance zone, part of Orange County Public Schools. Because it is a high school zone, the elementary and middle schools serving a given street can vary within it, so it's important to verify every assignment for the specific address you're considering.
Nearby high school zones that buyers often compare include Edgewater High, Lake Nona High, Lake Buena Vista High School and Colonial High. Each of these covers a different part of the Orlando area, so if school assignment is a priority, map the boundary carefully before you commit to a neighborhood.
One rule applies no matter where you land: school attendance boundaries change from year to year. Always confirm the current assigned schools for a specific property directly with Orange County Public Schools rather than relying on a listing description or a prior owner's experience.
Homes for sale in the Dr. Phillips High zone: prices and housing
The numbers paint a wide market. There are 289 active listings with a median list price of $260,000, but the range stretches from $115,000 to $13,500,000 and the average price per square foot is $278. The median active home size is 1,212 square feet, which pulls the median list figure toward the condo and smaller single-family end of the spectrum while estate product sits well above it.
Over the past 12 months, 551 homes sold at a median of $450,000, with sellers collecting about 96% of asking on average — a sign of a functional, negotiable market rather than a runaway one. Homes are taking a median of 70 days to sell, so buyers generally have time to do their diligence. The luxury tier is meaningful here: 28 active listings are priced above $1M.
New construction is scarce, with just six active new-build listings, so most purchases will be resale homes in existing communities. Carrying costs reflect the gated, amenity-heavy nature of the area — median HOA dues are $540 per month and median property tax is about $3,205 per year. Confirm both figures for any specific home, since HOA structures and tax assessments vary considerably across the zone.
Getting around from the Dr. Phillips High zone
Access is a core reason buyers gravitate to this part of Orlando. Universal Orlando is roughly six minutes away, Downtown Orlando about 20 minutes, Orlando International Airport around 25 minutes and Walt Disney World approximately 32 minutes. That puts most of the metro's major employment and entertainment destinations within a half-hour drive.
The area is well served by southwest Orlando's major roads, which connect quickly to Interstate 4 and the broader expressway network — the backbone of getting across the region. For anyone commuting toward the attractions, downtown or the airport, the central location keeps daily drive times manageable.
As with any Orlando address, traffic around the tourist corridor can swing with the season and the time of day. Still, the sheer number of nearby destinations within 25 minutes makes this one of the more flexible locations in the metro for both work and travel.
Is the Dr. Phillips High zone a good fit?
If your priorities are location and established, amenity-rich neighborhoods, this zone delivers. You're minutes from Universal Orlando, close to the airport and downtown, and surrounded by gated and lakefront communities — a combination that's hard to match elsewhere in the metro. For families, tourism-industry professionals and buyers who value turnkey subdivisions, it's an easy area to recommend.
The trade-offs are worth naming honestly. HOA dues run a median of $540 per month, higher than much of Orlando, and new construction is almost nonexistent with only six active new builds. Buyers wanting a brand-new home or minimal carrying costs may find the area's established, gated character a mismatch for their goals.
On balance, this is a strong fit for a buyer who wants an established southwest Orlando address with quick access to everything and is comfortable with HOA-driven communities. With 289 active listings spanning $115,000 to $13,500,000 and a steady market where sellers average 96% of asking, there's room to find the right home at the right price — just confirm the school assignment, HOA and taxes for the specific address before you move forward.

Dr. Phillips High FAQs
Is the Dr. Phillips High zone a good place to live?+
It's one of southwest Orlando's most convenient pockets, with Universal Orlando about six minutes away and Orlando International Airport roughly 25 minutes out. The area leans toward established, gated communities — 98 of 289 active listings are behind gates — which tends to appeal to families and professionals who want quiet streets close to work and the parks.
Is the Dr. Phillips High zone expensive?+
It depends entirely on the segment. The median list price is $260,000 and plenty of condos start around $115,000, but 28 active listings are priced over $1M and the ceiling reaches $13,500,000. The median sold price over the past year was $450,000, which reflects how much single-family and lakefront product trades here.
What do homes cost in the Dr. Phillips High zone?+
Active listings run a wide spread — a $260,000 median against a $115,000 to $13,500,000 range — at an average of $278 per square foot. The median home size on the market is 1,212 square feet, so the median figure is weighted toward smaller and condo-style homes while larger estates push the top end. Check the live map to compare current prices street by street.
How is the market right now?+
It's steady rather than frantic. Homes are taking a median of 70 days to sell, 551 closed over the last 12 months, and sellers are averaging about 96% of their asking price — which tells you there's still room to negotiate but well-priced homes move.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
With so many gated and amenity-rich communities, HOA dues run a median of $540 per month here — higher than much of Orlando because those fees often cover gates, grounds and shared amenities. Median property tax comes in around $3,205 a year, and you should always confirm the exact figures for a specific address before you write an offer.
What are the schools like in this zone?+
This page covers the Dr. Phillips High attendance zone, and nearby zones include Edgewater High, Lake Nona High and Colonial High. School boundaries change, so confirm the assigned schools for any specific address directly with Orange County Public Schools before buying.
How is the commute from the Dr. Phillips High zone?+
Location is one of the area's strongest cards: Downtown Orlando is about 20 minutes, Orlando International Airport roughly 25 minutes, and Universal Orlando just six minutes away. Walt Disney World is about 32 minutes, making this a practical base for anyone working in tourism or the broader metro.
Is there new construction in the Dr. Phillips High zone?+
New construction is limited here — only six of the 289 active listings are newly built, reflecting how established the area is. Most buyers will be looking at resale homes in existing gated and lakefront communities rather than new subdivisions. If a new build matters to you, inventory moves fast and is worth tracking on the live map.
