LaSalle Apartments is near The Marketplace, features a clubhouse, pool/spa, and laundry room and has a nice courtyard area for having barbecues. The complex is "wired for network" and offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments as well as three-bedoom townhomes ranging from $855/month to $1,795/month (March 2008); the 1200 square foot two-bedroom apartments include a 9'x14' loft($1,615-$1,675/month). The laundry room does not take quarters, but accepts credit or debit cards and creates an "account" with it for you — no more grubbing for quarters! La Salle is on the Unitrans G bus line and J bus line. The management is very stingy here when it came to getting your deposit back; unless your apartment looks like you just bought a new house, don't expect to get much back.

I have friends who live here and have seen two one bedroom units here and one multiple room unit here. Decent sized room, dining room, living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The places are cute, moderately priced for the condition, and are near bus lines and shopping centers. I would live at a place like La Salle.

2006-04-13 16:02:34   I lived here for two years in a 2b+loft, and it was one of the better apartment complexes I lived in in Davis. The general complex is fairly quiet, the layouts are nice and airy and have good lighting, and we didn't have many problems. It's in a good location too. The management was great and very responsive (dunno if it's changed since). Good location too. Overall, I'd highly recommend this place based on my experience there. —AlexPomeranz

2006-08-08 21:45:57   whatever you do, don't live on the first floor. opt to live in an upstairs apartment as downstairs apartments are more susceptible to roaches, mold, and lack onf sunlight. i'm happy to be moving out of la salle—it's not all that great. —EmilyTung

2006-11-01 20:06:15   woo I paint le salle on lease turnover if you live there chances are I've been in your unit!!!! —StevenDaubert

2007-04-22 11:40:48   I have lived here for two years. When I moved in the condition of the carpet and paint were horrible, and the apartment had not been cleaned well before. So I had to spend my first day there doing what the cleaning crew should have. However, I think this was because the people did not move out early enough and we moved in so soon after, but still it should have been taken care of. The old manager was great; the new one is okay. He is responsive to the residents. However, I fell one night out front of the office and when I called to tell the maintn. person all I got was attitude. Trying to make me feeling stupid for slipping on a drainage crate in the middle of the walkway. All I was asking was they do something like put a cone there so no one else would fall. All and all I think the place is too expensive for what you get (but I did not want to deal with moving) and the people are average. —Shanita

2007-12-01 14:10:37   I found this to be one of the more affordable 1 bedroom apartments in davis that had a good location. I love being able to walk to get groceries. The apartment (the 1 bedroom) is SMALL - but not bad. The carpet had pet damage when we moved in, but the manager was nice enough to let us know that we wouldn't be charged for that. They give a complementary carpet cleaning around november of each year, which is good. I mean, it protects their carpet and it helps the residents as well.

I wish the office was open at more accessible hours - it is 10am-5pm, which makes it hard to go in if you have a job with 8-5 hours. Aside from that, the Manager is really responsive to residents, full of information, and always e mails me back promptly. We sent in a maintenance request and it was fixed pretty quickly as well. So far, living at la Salle has been good. —RohiniJasavala

2008-02-18 02:46:14   For the price it is VERY bad. When we moved in there were a ton of things wrong and the management wouldn't fix them until they became a health hazard (and some things that started out as hazards were ignored). the rooms they show are WAY nicer than what you actually get. Don't get fooled. The manager is a nice, and the bus lines are very close, and you are close to two shopping centers, but I would suggest trying Pepperwood or Almondwood instead if you want to be on Alvarado. —willowspirit10

2008-02-26 19:04:11   Just FYI, I and three of my future house-mates put down their $800 deposit and filled out two forms including our phone numbers and other information. We were relatively high up on the waiting list. The management assured us they would call us as soon as there were any openings. A week later we decided to call them to see if they had any new information. They had lost our phone numbers, and therefore went on down the waiting list. There was no housing left. Be careful! If you want to live here I suggest calling them all the time and being very persistent. —MarielleBerman

2008-05-23 06:41:45   Do not live here! I was here to help someone more and i parked over night. They towed my truck. There were a ton of empty spots in the parking lot, the manager was mad because i had parked next to them. Way to spit on some kids that are not hurting anyone. —saju83

2008-06-09 19:32:17   I love this place! I moved in with my boyfriend - now husband in Sept. 2007. Carlos (the manager) was so helpful to us the day we moved in, he made sure that everything was up to what it should be. Later on that week I made a note of improvements that it needed and they were fixed with in a reasonable amount of time. Just a few months ago, I complained about the kitchen sink, a few days later I got a brand new sink and faucet put in. Carlos always tells my husband and I that if we need anything then they'll take care of it.

And P.S. Parking has been sooooo much better since they inforced the permits, for a little while I was having trouble finding parking. And just so you know, friends can still park here they just need a parking pass. —Adaleen

2008-08-19 14:29:06   Cable access is NOT included. I found this out today when my cable was shut off. Apperantly the only reason I had cable without subscribing to it was because comcast never shut off the last owners cable box. So now to pay, and miss the last week of the olympics. Shame shame —someday909

2008-08-21 20:49:50   Do they allow pets? I mean little animals, like hamsters etc —someday909

2008-11-09 22:43:12   I'm starting my second year of living here. I was kind of dissapointed I didn't find a new place when I renewed my rent, just because I thought this place was kinda pricey. But once I started looking on daviswiki for other places with similar/lower prices for 1bed1bath and similar utilities, I couldn't find any. This place comes with just about everything except a microwave and a computer. When I moved in they had just replaced all the carpets, and the walls were clean.

Pros:
Safe [I have never had my bike stolen here, and I dont always lock it]
quiet complex
many utilities for good price [well, in davis]
near 2 big supermarkets
on 2 bus lines, and 10 min bike ride to campus
good amount of space
great management

Cons:
loud piping [I wake up when the people above me turn on the sink, the shower sounds like an annoying waterfall]
sound can get in easily
little light for 1st floor apts [though when the trees are trimmed more light gets in]
50$ fee if you dont pay your rent on time
my friend's cars have been towed here before after they had been here for ~2 hours

no, I don't work for la salle. I just have been looking at other apartments and they all look expensive and bad, which made me appreciate my choice of la salle all the more —alyssap
