About Reserve at Phillips Cove
Reserve at Phillips Cove is one of the most strategically located gated communities in Dr. Phillips, situated directly off Turkey Lake Road in the 32819 zip code. Built by Taylor Morrison between 2016 and 2018, this boutique community features contemporary and Florida architectural-style homes on zero lot line to quarter-acre homesites, offering the low-maintenance lifestyle many Dr. Phillips buyers seek without sacrificing size or quality.
Homes in Reserve at Phillips Cove range from approximately 2,700 to 4,400 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 2- to 3-car garages. Taylor Morrison's construction emphasizes energy efficiency, block-and-stucco construction with shingle roofs, and upscale interior finishes including gourmet kitchens with GE appliances, ceramic tile flooring, large owner's suites with soaking tubs and walk-in showers, and open floor plans suited to Florida living. One- and two-story plans are available, and select homes offer private in-ground pools.
The community's gated entry provides the privacy and security that many buyers prioritize in this part of Orlando. A small neighborhood park with a playground area is located within the community, while Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake and Shadow Bay Park — directly across Turkey Lake Road — offer expanded outdoor recreation just steps away. With Universal Studios Florida approximately one mile north and Florida's Turnpike just minutes south, Reserve at Phillips Cove occupies an enviable crossroads between suburban serenity and world-class amenity access.
Because Taylor Morrison built only a limited number of homes here, resale inventory is rare and tends to move quickly. Buyers seeking a gated Dr. Phillips address with newer construction, energy-efficient systems, and modern floor plans consistently target this community as one of the area's most desirable smaller neighborhoods.
