East of U.S. 41 in Sarasota, homes in PhillippiGardens are a good buy among houses on boating water. Residents enjoy pristine, deep water about ten minutes by boat to the Intracoastal Waterway. Developer Reid Farrell, who began designing the subdivision in 1958, curved the streets here to enhance the neighborhood’s ambience. Farrell boasted to buyers that no two houses were alike on the same street, giving PhillippiGardens a character all its own. The 600 homes here range in price depending on location.
