Davis Islands

Located at the mouth of the Hillsborough River is Davis Islands: a collection of two islands just off of Tampa’s mainland, extending into the bay. Known to be one of the most desirable places to live in the area, construction at Davis Islands dates back to the 1920s. Many of the properties are listed under the National Register of Historic Places, which adds to the incredible desirability of this area. Davis Islands is only a 10-minute drive away from Downtown Tampa, and as a result, its residents experience secluded, luxury living while also enjoying the nightlife of the city.

Once three islands, Davis Islands is a popular Tampa community, and connects to the mainland via the Davis Islands Bridge and Plant Avenue Bridge. Homes within this large island community are incredibly sought-after. This is because the neighborhood feels like a small town hundreds of miles away from it all, even though it is very close to the downtown core. Although there are plenty of waterfront properties, Davis Islands keeps much of its waterfront public for residents and guests to enjoy.
