Davis Islands is a planned island community sitting just off the mainland in Hillsborough Bay, with tree-lined streets, its own small airport and marina, and a walkable village of shops. The pace here is unusually calm for a place this close to the action — downtown Tampa is roughly a 10-minute drive, and Tampa International Airport is about 24 minutes away. Families gravitate toward the assigned Gorrie Elementary and Plant High School, both long-standing draws for buyers who want to plant roots.
This is a high-end market, and the numbers make that plain: the median list price sits at $2,100,000, with 41 of the 49 active listings priced above $1M. Homes take a measured 52 days to sell, and over the past year sellers have averaged 93% of asking — so there's room to negotiate on the right property. If the top of the island feels out of reach, you'll find more attainable footholds on the mainland in nearby Gandy/Sun Bay South or the character homes of Old Seminole Heights.
