Sand Lake Hills sits in the Dr. Phillips corner of southwest Orlando, where tree-lined streets and roomy lots give the neighborhood a settled, established feel rather than a brand-new one. It's an easy 11 minutes to Universal Orlando and about 29 to both Walt Disney World and the airport, with Downtown roughly 24 minutes away — close to everything without being on top of it. Homes here feed into Dr. Phillips Elementary, Southwest Middle, and Dr. Phillips High, a draw for families weighing nearby options like Hunters Creek or Metro West.
For a buyer today, the market is tight but moving: just 9 active listings with a median list price of $535,000, and homes going under contract in about 25 days. Over the past year 36 homes sold at a median of $541,500, with sellers collecting 96% of asking on average. Compared to newer master-planned communities like Laureate Park or Eagle Creek, Sand Lake Hills offers established square footage and a near-nominal HOA.
Sand Lake Hills is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Sand Lake Hills FAQs
Is Sand Lake Hills a good place to live?+
It's a settled residential pocket of the Dr. Phillips area, assigned to Dr. Phillips Elementary, Southwest Middle, and Dr. Phillips High. The location is hard to beat for anyone working near the attractions — Universal Orlando is about 11 minutes out and Downtown Orlando around 24. Those commute numbers are why buyers often compare it against nearby Metro West.
Is Sand Lake Hills expensive?+
It sits in a mid-to-upper range for southwest Orlando, with a median list price of $535,000 and active listings running from $469,500 to $649,000. There are no $1M+ or new-construction listings active right now, so pricing stays grounded in established homes. That makes it a more attainable entry to the Dr. Phillips area than some newer communities.
What do homes cost in Sand Lake Hills?+
The median list price is $535,000, and over the past 12 months 36 homes sold at a median of $541,500. Expect to pay around $281 per square foot for a home that's roughly 1,923 square feet. Four of the current nine listings include a pool, which can nudge pricing upward.
How is the market in Sand Lake Hills?+
It's active and fairly quick — homes are going under contract in a median of about 25 days, and sellers are getting 96% of asking on average. With only 9 active listings, inventory is limited, so well-priced homes don't sit long. Buyers should be ready to move when the right one lists.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes like?+
The HOA is minimal, with a median of just $18 per month. Property taxes run a median of about $6,018 a year, in line with the price point. If you're renting instead, the median is around $2,835 a month.
