About St. Philips

Coastal, low-density living at the CMA’s edge

St. Philips offers detached-home living in a coastal setting, with most daily needs handled by car.

This is a primarily single-detached, low-density area with a mix of newer suburban-style subdivisions and older rural residential pockets. The appeal is straightforward: coastal scenery, more space than more central parts of the region, and a calmer residential rhythm. It is not an urban, transit-forward place where daily errands are naturally walkable or where major services cluster in one central commercial district.

Living in St. Philips

Housing in St. Philips is mostly detached houses, which gives the area a predominantly residential feel and puts emphasis on individual properties rather than shared-building living. Listings can vary because newer suburban-style subdivisions sit alongside older rural residential pockets within the same broad area.

A typical home in St. Philips is a detached house in a low-density residential setting.

The bottom line

St. Philips offers a low-density, mostly detached-home environment with a coastal backdrop on the edge of the St. John’s CMA. Its appeal is space and setting, with outdoor options and small local stops spread across the area rather than concentrated in one core. It won’t suit priorities built around walkable errands, dense retail choice, or a transit-led routine.

This description is compiled from the figures above and from published sources. It is not a statistic.

Market pulse

St. Philips’ current for-sale market is relatively tight with 34 active listings, and pricing skews toward higher-end and newer single-family homes across the town’s coastal and hillside areas, while more moderately priced options tend to be older or smaller properties and pockets farther from the water. The median asking price is $614,900 with an average of $217/sqft, and homes are sitting an average of 59 days on market so far, suggesting buyers have some room to be selective even as 14 new listings in the past 30 days add fresh choices. For investors, the limited inventory and higher price floor point to a market where value will hinge on lot appeal, condition, and proximity to St. John’s commuting routes rather than quick turnover.
