Davis suburb connected by trails and popular with commuters
About 3 miles east of the University of California Davis, suburban East Davis is mainly residential, with midcentury homes on compact lots, plenty of parks to explore, and many top-rated schools within walking distance for local kids. "The whole Davis community is centered around the university, but there are tons of families in these neighborhoods," says CJ Portz, a broker with Fievel Real Estate and Davis local. The entire city of Davis, East Davis included, is connected by a sprawling network of walking and bike trails. There are grocery stores, eateries and a Target right in the neighborhood, and lots more shopping and dining in Downtown Davis, about 2 miles west. The neighborhood is bordered south by Interstate 80, so commuters have easy access to Sacramento, 14 miles east.
Midcentury homes and million-dollar estates
Though lots in East Davis are usually on the smaller side, streets and sidewalks are lush with greenery, including mature oak, sycamore and cypress trees. On the neighborhood’s west side, ranch-style homes and bungalows date back to the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. These three- or four-bedroom homes typically feature prominent two-car garages and vinyl siding, but some have partial brick or wood exteriors; prices range from $500,000 to $800,000, depending on a home's size and condition. 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. Most properties date back to the 1970s, but some have been built in the 21st century. Prices range from $150,000 to $300,000 depending on age and condition.
East Davis has a mix of one and two story homes.
The Lake Alhambra Estates subdivision offers larger lots for $1.3 to $1.9 million.
