Davis Shores sits on Anastasia Island just across the Bridge of Lions from the oldest part of St Augustine, which puts the beach on one side and the historic core on the other. It's a walkable, water-adjacent neighborhood where mid-century homes and updated coastal builds share the same quiet streets, and the pace feels more local than touristy. If you want the ocean, the Intracoastal, and downtown all inside a short drive, this pocket delivers it without the crowds of the St Augustine homes for sale closer to the plaza.
The market here is small and tightly held — check the live map and you'll often find just a handful of homes, with one active listing at $644,000 as of now. Over the past year only three homes sold, at a median of $700,000, and sellers collected 100% of their asking price on average. Buyers weighing Davis Shores against master-planned options like Silverleaf or Trailmark are trading newer construction and amenities for location and character.
Davis Shores is a community in St Augustine, Florida.

Straight answers
Davis Shores FAQs
Is Davis Shores a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you want island living within reach of downtown — the neighborhood sits on Anastasia Island just over the Bridge of Lions from the historic district. Assigned schools include R. B. Hunt Elementary School area feeders and St. Augustine High School. The vibe is quieter and more residential than the tourist-heavy blocks near the plaza.
Is Davis Shores expensive?+
It sits in the upper-middle range for St Augustine, with the current active listing at $644,000 and last year's three sales closing at a median of $700,000. At roughly $397 per square foot, you're paying for location and island access rather than square footage — median home size is around 1,622 square feet. It's pricier per foot than newer inland communities like Quail Hollow.
What do homes cost in Davis Shores?+
The single active listing is priced at $644,000, and homes that sold over the past 12 months hit a median of $700,000. Expect roughly $397 per square foot on a typical home near 1,622 square feet. Inventory is thin, so pricing can swing with whatever comes to market.
How is the market in Davis Shores?+
It's a low-volume, seller-friendly market — only three homes sold in the last year, and those sellers averaged 100% of their asking price. Current listings take a median of 82 days to sell, so patience helps on both sides. With just one home active right now, serious buyers should be ready to move when something fits.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no median HOA fee on record for Davis Shores, which sets it apart from amenity-driven communities like St. Augustine Shores Estates. Property taxes run around $8,463 per year at the median, reflecting the higher home values here. Always confirm the exact millage and any special assessments for a specific address before you buy.
