Suburban living on the west side of Highway 113

Just north of the University of California, Davis, leafy West Davis is a little quieter than the campus and mostly residential, with a mix of single-family homes, condos and townhouses. “Homeowners have been here forever and ever,” says Anna Aljabiry, a Davis local and real estate agent with REAL Broker. “When people buy a home here, they stay.” Subdivisions here include the eco-friendly Village Homes and the Stonegate Country Club Community. Downtown Davis is 3 miles southeast, on the opposite side of State Route 113 (most commonly called Highway 113), but neighborhood bike lanes lead straight there; local businesses in West Davis include the West Market grocery store. Streets and parks here are shaded by tons of trees, which comes in handy during the hot summer months when temperatures exceed the high nineties. There are several top-rated schools in the neighborhood, and local houses of worship include the Lutheran Church of the Incarnation. West Davis' CAP Index Crime Score is 3 out of 10, compared to a national score of 4.

Specialized subdivisions like the eco-friendly Village Homes

Development began in the 1970s with subdivisions like Village Homes, an eco-friendly community founded by Stanley Davis. Two-thirds of the sustainability-focused Village Homes have solar panels, and a community network of swales catch rainwater that's reused to irrigate trees and gardens that residents can harvest for fruits and veggies. In the Stonegate Country Club Community, homeowners must belong to the namesake country club and the Stonegate Homeowners Association. The subdivision was built around Stonegate Lake, and some waterfront homes have small private docks. Other in-fill developments have since taken up most of the empty lots in West Davis, and many have their own parks and community spaces.

The narrow suburban streetscapes here are shaded by mature oak and sycamore trees, and most single-family homes were built between 1970 and 1990, including bungalows and ranch-style homes with vinyl or stone exteriors, prominent two-car garages and low-slung shingle roofs. Some feature Spanish Revival-style elements like barrel-tile roofs and arched doorways. Prices generally depend on size and square footage; three-bedroom homes range from $600,000 to $900,000, while four-bedroom versions range from $900,000 to $1.3 million. Homes on quarter- or half-acre lots are generally in high demand, with prices ranging from $1.3 to $1.9 million.

Newer subdivisions in West Davis' northeast corner were mainly developed between 1990 and 2010, with multi-story new traditional homes that feature covered front porches and overhanging, cross-gabled roofs; prices range from $900,000 to $1.2 million. The neighborhood's few condo and townhouse complexes were primarily developed between 1970 and 2000, with attached or detached units that have between one and four bedrooms. Townhouse and condo prices depend on square footage and the number of bedrooms, and range from $400,000 to $750,000,

Arroyo Park and other community green spaces

Arroyo Park is the neighborhood's largest park, with climbing structures, playgrounds and a toddler area. In the summer, when temperatures regularly rise above 95 degrees, residents can visit the park's Olympic-sized swimming pool to cool off. Westside Park, on the neighborhood’s east side, features basketball courts and a soccer field, while West Manor Park, on the west side, has tennis courts and more playgrounds. Village Home Community Park was constructed for its namesake subdivision, with lots of open green spaces, mature oak trees and flower beds. To the northeast is West Pond, a popular spot for birdwatching. Stonegate Country Club members have access to six tennis courts, three swimming pools and a fitness center.

Davis' annual Loopalooza bike parade

Davis residents pride themselves on the community’s commitment to bikability. “The bike lanes here are wider than car lanes,” Aljabiry says. “Our town logo is a bike, and we have an annual bike parade.” The City of Davis, Bike Davis and other community organizations host the annual Loopalooza in the first week of May, with a 12-mile bike loop throughout the whole town. Participants can start at any point on the trail and travel in either direction, stopping at various parks along the path, including Arroyo Park in West Davis, for activities, games and food vendors.

Westlake Market and local restaurants on the neighborhood's west side

The Westlake Market grocery store anchors a small shopping plaza on the neighborhood’s west side. Here, Mandro Teahouse serves bubble tea and Korean desserts like mango bingsu, a milk-based version of shaved ice. At locally owned Lamppost Pizza, diners can enjoy a slice while watching the game or order a pie for delivery. Osteria Fasulo, near the neighborhood’s center, is an upscale Italian restaurant with extensive outdoor seating, and Super Owl Brewery is the neighborhood's one nightlife option, offering craft beers like their Bicycle Rights Pale Ale. Locally grown produce and live music is a 2-mile bike ride away at The Davis Farmers Market. “The Davis Farmers Market is our town hub,” Aljabiry says. “Even on rainy days, people come out, bring their families and blankets and just relax there. There is so much going on."
