On the east side, new traditional homes and bungalows from the ‘80s, ‘90s and early 2000s often have steeply gabled roofs with colored trim. These three- or four-bedroom homes range from $650,000 to $1.1 million, depending on size.The Lake Alhambra Estates subdivision, in the neighborhood’s northeast corner, features custom-built homes from the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Some are Tudor- and Spanish Revival-style, while others are new traditional with Spanish-style arched doorways or Victorian-inspired elements like turrets. All homes here range from 3,000 to 5,000 square feet, and cost between $1.3 million and $1.9 million.
Rancho Yolo Mobile Home Park, a 55-plus community, sits on the neighborhood’s west side, with dozens of two- or three-bedroom manufactured units, all with covered carports.

Annual Loopalooza bike parade held in May
Davis’ pro-biking attitude is on full display during Loopalooza, an annual bike parade in May that loops around all of Davis. Participants can start at any point on the bike loop, and stations are set up at parks along the route, including Mace Ranch Park, with booths from local organizations and plenty of activities for all ages.Bordered by Interstate 80, 14 miles from Sacramento
The city of Davis is known for its bike-friendly streets and intricate network of paved trails, also called greenbelts; East Davis is within this network, and most neighbors can get around quickly on foot or by bike. The neighborhood is bordered south by Interstate 80, which leads 14 miles east to Sacramento. The main local roadway is 5th Street, which leads about 2 miles west to Downtown Davis and 3 miles west to the University of California Davis, a major local employer.

Informal eateries and breweries on the south side
Small shopping plazas are found around the neighborhood, usually anchored by a grocery store like Nugget Markets or Grocery Outlet. Locals can also head to these plazas for locally owned casual eateries and takeout spots like Taqueria Davis, which serves Mexican, and Tasty Gourmet, which serves Chinese cuisine. At the southern end of the neighborhood, near the highway, a handful of business parks include research and agricultural facilities. There’s also a Target that many residents can walk or bike to, and a few breweries like Sudwerk Brewing Company, which serves German-inspired beers like the People’s Pilsner. The Davis Musical Theatre Company, housed in the same building as Gracepoint Davis Church, produces 11 yearly musicals, including both main stage and “young performers” productions.
