Apartment Complex

Orchard Park is one of two campus-managed apartment complexes located on campus (the other is Solano Park). Apartments are tiny (594 square feet), very basic, and inexpensive, but the complex has a large courtyard and two playgrounds for children as well as laundry facilities and a community center available to all leaseholders. If you have children, both Orchard and Solano Parks are nice because there are so many other people with children; neighbors often help each other out with babysitting and the community offers lots of after-school programs to entertain kids and provide family support. There is a nearby Child Development Center that may offer a discount to families living in either Orchard or Solano Park. Only two bedroom apartments are available and the waiting list is extensive and prioritized in the following order:

1. Students with children,
   

2. Married students/domestic partnerships (documentation required)
   

3. Graduate students with no children,
   

4. Undergraduate students with no children

Orchard Park was built in 1964. There is an Orchard Park Garden, like the Solano Park Gardens, but it has been abandoned in favor of the the EC Garden.

2009-04-20 21:24:27   Are pets really prohibited at Orchard Park? Or rather, is that policy enforced? I'm hoping to move to Davis with two very small dogs, but am having trouble finding places that allow dogs. —harvardslacker
