Davis Shores sits on Anastasia Island, just across the Bridge of Lions from the heart of historic downtown — close enough to walk to dinner, far enough to feel like your own quiet corner of the coast. It's a compact, water-adjacent neighborhood of mid-century and updated homes where the pace is slow and the beach is a short drive away. Buyers who want to be near the action of St Augustine homes for sale without living in the tourist crush tend to gravitate here.
The market is tight and moves fast. Right now there's a single active listing at $535,000, and homes that sold over the past year went at a median of $700,000 — with sellers pulling in 100% of asking on average. If you're comparing island living to the newer inland communities like Silverleaf or Trailmark, watch the live map closely, because inventory here disappears quickly.
