Davis Islands occupies a distinctive waterfront setting immediately south of downtown Tampa. The City of Tampa describes the Islands as a mix of residential and retail areas surrounded by parks, green space and water views. This site's MLS region also reaches beyond Davis Islands toward nearby central Tampa and the University of Tampa area, so I recommend verifying the exact neighborhood of each property shown below.
Davis Islands was created in the 1920s by Tampa developer D.P. Davis from two small natural islands at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, using dredged material from Tampa Bay. Today the area includes residences, a neighborhood commercial district, waterfront parks and community facilities, while remaining close to downtown Tampa.
Davis Islands is home to Peter O. Knight Airport, Tampa General Hospital, the Davis Islands Yacht Club, Marjorie Park and Municipal Yacht Basin, the Sandra Freedman Tennis Complex and the Roy Jenkins Pool. Waterfront buyers should evaluate property-specific flood information, insurance, seawalls, docks, permitting and water access when applicable.
As of October 2026, this site's live MLS search for the Davis Island/University of Tampa region shows about 120 active properties. Because the MLS region includes nearby neighborhoods in addition to Davis Islands, the listings below should be reviewed by exact address and neighborhood. Inventory and asking prices change daily.
Whether you are considering a Davis Islands residence, waterfront property, condominium or another home near downtown Tampa, I can help you organize the real estate process and coordinate with qualified third-party professionals when additional services are appropriate.
