Davis Islands is a pair of man-made islands in Hillsborough Bay, connected to the mainland by a short bridge yet feeling worlds apart from the rush of the city. It's a walkable, tree-lined community with its own village of shops and a marina, where the water is never far and downtown Tampa is only about a 10-minute drive. Families are drawn here in part for the assigned schools, including Gorrie Elementary and Plant High School, both long-standing neighborhood anchors.
This is one of Tampa's premium addresses, and the numbers reflect it: the median list price sits at $2,135,000, with 42 of the 49 active listings priced above $1 million. Homes take their time here, with a median 65 days on market, and over the past year 97 homes sold at a median of $1,320,000 — sellers netting about 93% of asking. Buyers exploring nearby options like Gandy/Sun Bay South or Old Seminole Heights will find Davis Islands sits firmly at the top of the local price spectrum.
