Background

A brief history

Toscana was developed in the early 2000s as a luxury gated Mediterranean-themed community overlooking Spring Lake in the heart of Dr. Phillips. The 96-home community was designed with Italian architectural inspiration — tile roofs, paver driveways, lush landscaping — and resort-quality amenities (pool, fitness center, clubhouse, tennis). The neighborhood positioned itself as a more architecturally cohesive alternative to the mixed-style mega-communities. Build-out occurred 2000–2008, with strong buyer reception driven by the Mediterranean positioning and Spring Lake waterfront.

The feel

What it's like to live here

Toscana feels like a private Italian resort village. Mediterranean-inspired architecture dominates — tile roofs, stucco exteriors, arched windows, columned entries. Homes typically 4–5 bedrooms, 3,500–6,000+ square feet. Lot sizes quarter-to-half acre with manicured landscaping. The community has a cohesive architectural character rare in Dr. Phillips. Spring Lake waterfront and beautifully landscaped walking paths are primary lifestyle amenities. The 24-hour gate and security presence convey exclusivity without the sprawl of larger communities.

Market Commentary

What the market is doing

Toscana homes trade in the $1.1M–$3M+ range, with waterfront homes commanding the premium end ($2.2M–$3M+) and interior homes $1.1M–$1.8M. The Mediterranean architectural cohesion adds 8–12% premium compared to non-themed alternative neighborhoods. Price per square foot averages $340–$390. Days-on-market typically 75–120 days, reflecting the luxury positioning and specialized buyer appeal (Mediterranean aesthetic preference). Homes with modern renovations and updated pools trade faster and at higher premiums.
