The Lakeshore apartment complex is a well-maintained and comfortable living environment. The units are three-story high peach and mauve colored apartments with studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans available ranging from $1,015/month-$2,130/month [January 2009]. The apartments themselves are very spacious, with wide, open rooms and balconies/patios. The back side of the property, facing Stonegate Lake, is bordered by several "cottage" units, single-story apartments with back lawns and beautiful lake views. The cottages tend to have a much lower turnover rate than the rest of the complex.
The complex offers direct access to the lake; a swimming pool, hot tub, and fountain; a large clubhouse with pool tables and big screen TV; a small gym; one large laundry room, and a computer lab with both Dell and Mac computers.
Although the majority of the apartments are filled by college students, there are also some families, older couples, and elderly people, which makes for a slightly quieter complex than many in Davis. There is a pretty nice sense of community here, and the management goes out of there way to make residents feel at home. All work orders are addressed promptly and professionally. The manager has been at the community for awhile and does a great job.
The complex is located out in West Davis, about a 15 minute bike or bus ride from campus. Unitrans D bus line stops directly across from the complex, and the P/Q bus line stops just one block away. The Westlake Plaza, located directly across the street, has a great Mexican food restaurant, a dry cleaners, Lamppost Pizza, a Chinese food restaurant, Curves fitness center, Suds Laundromat, and a video store/espresso bar. It's a short drive or bike ride to The Marketplace on the other side of Highway 113 for even more shopping opportunities.

2005-11-07 22:07:09 This complex is cool because it has the third story catwalk. I delivered newspapers here a few times on Sunday mornings and it was awesome riding my bike up there. It was alot like this one level from the Star Wars podracing game. —NickSchmalenberger
2006-08-21 08:39:50 A friend had a political sign inside her window which she was asked to take down because they did not want it offending people...the sign? "Give peace a chance." With a picture of a dove. —EricKollars
2007-06-12 10:13:15 This was my first year at Lakeshore and I really became annoyed with the construction that lasted the entire school year. I was never informed that there was even going to be contruction at all, not to mention it woke me up every morning at 8am. In addition, the parking situation was horrible because spots were blocked off, forcing me to park on the street and subsequently get parking tickets. Also, the complex forced us to change internet providers halfway through the year and now our connection is slower and less reliable than ever but more expensive. —KateMcG
2007-07-06 21:03:22 In September I signed a lease with someone who had been there for two years already. There was already construction in effect which had been going on for some ridiculous amount of time. I've been here a full year and they look no closer to finishing than when I arrived. After suffering through their construction — which has included them jackhammering apart our porches and replacing them at great inconvenience to us — they are raising the rent for next year! So those of us who have suffered through a year of construction, which will continue, must pay more. This is outrageous! As nice as it is and as much as I would like to stay, this is just unacceptable. —DanaMace
2007-08-13 17:37:35 While I've lived here, it's been pretty nice. My apartment has been spacious and comfortable, and the bike parking just downstairs and the bus stop across the street have been handy. Over the year, the construction got pretty frustrating (a few weeks of waking up to jackhammers, and no access to our balcony for 8 of the 12 months.) Now that it's mostly over, Lakeshore should be a great place to live; just be aware that, in general, you pay for what you get. —BrianMcFadden
2007-10-25 21:05:18 I lived there for three years. I had to endure about 3 months of construction. I had to force them to even apologize. They have lost 2 of my rent checks, but according to my Bank America records, they cashed them. They also charged me late charges for rent when they already had all the checks. The security guards harass you at night. And no, you don't get what you paid for. There are websites that will tell you that you are paying more for the same square footage you could get elsewhere for cheaper. Protect yourself, they light to take all of your security deposit for bogus charges, which i am currently fighting. of $1200 deposit, they took $1183, and they haven't told me why yet. I moved out a month ago. —wiredknlght
2008-02-22 09:46:23 I really like Lakeshore Apartment, they are right on a lake and have very friendly management (and security). Their location is excellent, especially for Davis students.. The previous poster (wirednight) probably works for one of Lakeshore’s competitors. He obviously is not being honest, State law requires all Security Deposit withholdings to be itemized and presented to the tenant and of course nobody is going to come looking for a lost rent check if it was already cashed. Overall I had a great experience and you *do* get what you pay for, check them out…
2008-03-19 13:43:12 Anybody have problems with cockroaches here? —lindsayream
2008-04-04 23:22:42 Anyone know if there are size limits for dogs? And do they allow (*very* friendly) pit bulls? —belinda364
2008-05-16 17:45:49 Checked out Lakeshore today, and they do not have any breed restrictions, but there is a weight limit of 40 lbs. for dogs. —belinda364
2009-02-14 They told the weight limit was 75 lbs.—sweetMeliss
2009-07-16 18:15:13 Why are the stonesfair apartments so expensive? What a ripoff for Davis! —Air
2009-08-03 17:22:02 I visited these apartments a few years ago. At the time, there was significant construction going on in the complex. As a result, some residents had lost the use of their balconies. A number of them were storing the contents of their balconies in their bedrooms or living rooms. I would imagine that the construction has been completed by now (I hope). The apartments were very large, but not in particularly good condition. I saw old and worn carpet and appliances. The lake was nice, but the complex only borders a very small section of it. I think you can get country club memberships that give you lake access though. Prices were comparable to those at other apartments in that section of Davis. Some apartments have a lake view. What that meant for the one I saw with the lake view was that if you stood right next to the window and squinted through some trees, you might barely be able to see the lake. Perhaps other apartments in the complex have a better view? If you bike to campus, you will have about a 12 minute ride from here. —IDoNotExist

2009-10-30 10:37:19 These apartments are very over priced. The appliances are outdated and worn. The worst part is that there is VERY limited parking. What I mean by this is if you come home after 8pm or so on any night, you will NOT be able to find a parking spot. You will have to resort to street parking which has about 5 spots, again unhelpful. They even just took a portion of the parking that we had and converted it to "reserved parking"—reserved for whom??? And the "covered parking" that you can pay for is just a joke; you are likely to get several dings on your car from the far too close poles that hold up the sheet metal that they call a covering. —BField
