Davis Islands is a man-made pair of islands in Hillsborough Bay, connected to the mainland yet distinctly its own — walkable streets, a village of shops, its own airport and yacht basin, and water on nearly every side. It sits about 10 minutes from downtown Tampa and 24 minutes from Tampa International, so you get quiet, low-traffic streets without giving up the city. Assigned schools include Gorrie Elementary and Plant High School, and the neighborhood's Mediterranean-era architecture gives it a character you won't find in the newer corners of town.
For buyers, this is a high-end market with a wide spread. The 32 active listings run from $510,000 to nearly $22 million, with a median list price around $2.64 million and an average of $732 per square foot on a typical 4,065-square-foot home. Over the last year 66 homes sold at a median of about $1.99 million, with sellers collecting 94% of asking on average and homes taking a median of 68 days to sell — enough runway to negotiate if you come prepared. If the numbers here stretch your budget, nearby options like Hyde Park–adjacent Gandy/Sun Bay South or Old Seminole Heights are worth a look.

Davis Islands FAQs
Is Davis Islands a good place to live?+
It's one of Tampa's most walkable and self-contained neighborhoods, with its own shopping village, yacht basin, and airport, plus a 10-minute drive to downtown Tampa. Assigned schools like Gorrie Elementary and Plant High School are a major draw, and water surrounds nearly every street. The trade-off is price — this is firmly a luxury market.
Is Davis Islands expensive?+
Yes — the median list price is about $2.64 million and 29 of the 32 active listings are priced above $1 million. Homes average $732 per square foot, well above most Tampa neighborhoods. If that's beyond your range, Gandy/Sun Bay South offers a more accessible entry point nearby.
What do homes cost on Davis Islands?+
Active listings range from $510,000 to nearly $22 million, with a median around $2.64 million on a typical 4,065-square-foot home. Over the last 12 months, 66 homes sold at a median of about $1.99 million. The gap between list and sold medians reflects how wide the inventory spread is.
How is the market right now?+
There are 32 active listings and homes are taking a median of 68 days to sell, so buyers have some time to evaluate and negotiate. Sellers are getting about 94% of asking on average, which means well-priced offers below list are landing. It's an active but not frantic luxury market.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $300 a month, and the median annual property tax is roughly $15,001 — in line with the neighborhood's high home values. Budget for both when you're comparing carrying costs against other Tampa areas.
