THE DAVIS ISLANDS VIEW NEWSLETTER
Welcome to the May Islands View newsletter. Last month we had a great Movies in the Park event as well as substantially more activity on our neighborhood website. The housing market is strong on the Islands and we continue to see more visitors taking advantage of our amenities and business district. I hope you enjoy this edition and have a great Islands month!
