Davis Islands sits just south of downtown Tampa, a planned island community threaded with canals, a small airport, and a walkable village of shops and cafes. It's a place where morning walks along the water and a ten-minute drive to the office coexist, and where the pace feels a world away from the mainland even though downtown Tampa is right across the bridge. Families here are drawn to strong assigned schools like Gorrie Elementary and Plant High School, and the island's mix of historic homes and new construction gives the streets real character.
This is one of Tampa's premier addresses, and the numbers reflect it: the median list price is $1.9 million, with 40 of the 47 active listings priced above $1M. Buyers should expect to compete for quality — 97 homes sold in the past year at a median of $1,320,000, with sellers collecting about 93% of asking. If the island's price point stretches your budget, nearby Hyde Park–adjacent and Old Seminole Heights offer alternate paths into the same urban core, while Lake Magdalene trades city proximity for more space.

Davis Islands FAQs
Is Davis Islands a good place to live?+
It's one of Tampa's most desirable neighborhoods, combining a walkable village, canal-front streets, and quick access to downtown Tampa in about 10 minutes. Assigned schools include Gorrie Elementary and Plant High School, and the island layout keeps traffic and through-traffic low. It suits buyers who want an urban commute without the density of the mainland.

Yes — it sits at the top of the Tampa market. The median list price is $1,899,999 and 40 of 47 active listings are priced above $1 million, with an average of $683 per square foot. There are entry points near $500,000, but the bulk of inventory is firmly in luxury territory.
What do homes cost on Davis Islands?+

How is the Davis Islands market right now?+
There are 47 active listings and homes take a median of 64 days to sell, so it's a market that rewards patience over speed. Sellers are getting about 93% of their asking price on average, which means there's room to negotiate on well-priced homes. With 97 sales in the past year, demand remains steady.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $914 per month, though this varies widely by property type and whether it includes condo or waterfront amenities.
