Davis Islands is a planned island community just south of downtown, where tree-lined streets, a private airport, and easy water access give it a self-contained, walkable feel that's rare this close to a major city. It's the kind of place where you can be at your front door on the water and still reach Tampa proper — downtown is about 10 minutes away and Tampa International Airport roughly 24 — without ever feeling like you're in the middle of the grid.
For buyers, this is a genuinely high-end market: the median list price sits at $1,899,999, and 40 of the 47 active listings are priced above $1 million. Homes here take their time — the median days on market is 64 — and sellers are currently getting about 93% of asking, so there's room to negotiate if you come prepared. If Davis Islands stretches the budget, nearby Tampa neighborhoods like Old Seminole Heights and Gandy/Sun Bay South offer more accessible entry points.
Davis Islands is a community in Tampa, Florida.
