East Davis
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.

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.
