Silverstone Apartments (formerly Green Meadows) is a fairly large complex in northeast Davis situated on Pole Line Road just north of Covell. The complex contains studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and three-bedroom townhomes from $850/month-$1,745/month with no last month rent advance required [November 2008]. Silverstone, managed by Riverstone Residential, uses the standard 12 month lease.

Due to its considerable (for Davis) distance from campus, it's a pretty quiet place to live. There is also never a shortage of parking.

Silverstone is near Oak Tree Plaza (most notably Nugget and Longs Drugs), Davis Athletic Club, Nugget Fields, some bike paths, and Oak Grove Park. Living there also grants you the privilege of using the square pool & cozy spa (pool area is temporarily closed while the spa is redone. It will re-open shortly (as of May, 2009)). Washers and dryers are available in some two-bedroom units and all three-bedroom units.

Residents are responsible for a monthly [WWW]NW&P bill. This depends on your apartment's size and the number of occupants therein, coupled with the water usage for the entire community, but is typically about $25 a month, per person. Although NW&P stands for "National Water and Power", power is paid for separately in a bill to PG&E.

Unitrans L bus line has a stop directly in front of Silverstone on Pole Line Road. Although the bus will be headed northbound, it will soon turn around and head towards campus. The ride takes about 15 minutes by bus or 15-30 minutes by bike. Parking is abundant here.

Wireless, high speed internet is available through [WWW]HDN, but payment and all arrangements are made through Silverstone. This service may be terminated at any time and costs $25 a month. You can make your own arrangements with a Cable or DSL internet provider. Silverstone is currently running a Fall Special: Receive $300 off your move in & $200 off your 1st month when you lease the same week you tour! Special subject to change or end without prior notice.

Expensive, but a decent area and a nice manager. It seemed to be a fairly classy apartment complex, but it was too expensive and too far away for my tastes. The two bedroom was VERY spacious, and was a corner unit so it had lots of windows. Private patio and beautiful grounds. Runs about $775 for a studio, $910 for a one bedroom (I think one is available soon), $1095-$1175 for two bedroom one bath. Washer and dryers in some units.

2006-06-14 13:58:55   Water Pressure is weak and watch the window sill mold - single pane windows - but overall a good deal. They get you by charging for water thru a side company that divides the complex total usage with your own usage to create some weird formula - pretty cheap if you ask me. But all in all a good place to live. The resident managers rock just the corporate management rules that kinda suck. Walk to Nugget, easy to get out out of town, great pool, pets ok! —MuffIn

2006-10-10 20:52:52   The "high-speed" wireless internet they offer for a fee, (around $25 a month) is very unreliable. It doesn't work at all when temperatures hit about 100 or so, and is spotty at other random times. —AnnaJones

2007-03-12 21:44:58   This complex allows 2 pets, but not 2 dogs. You can have either 1 dog and 1 cat, or 2 cats. —NicoleSams

2007-04-22 20:52:40   I would not choose to live here after our experience with management. The rent may appear cheaper, but add internet (because HDN is terrible), water and trash... and it's not a good value. Also, this place is pricey for only having 1 bathroom for the 2 bed units. You can find nicer and cheaper places elsewhere. —SoCalGal

2007-06-09 10:35:02   We were allowed 3 pets - 2 cats and a dog. Several other tenants have 2 dogs....although maybe the policy has changed for new leases. —Alaga

2007-08-04 13:13:32   I lived here October 2006 to August 2007. When we first negotiated our lease, the office staff was amazingly helpful. Since then, there have been several transitions. The most recent staff is NOT responsible in my opinion. We've had only a few maintenance requests, but they took far to long to repair. One occasion left my roommate and I showering by candlelight for a week! Also, trying to reach management regarding our final rent was also a disaster. I called and left a message and after 48 hours, I called again (rent was due the next day!) and the gal who answered was able to look it up in less than a minute.

Aside from weak management, the complex is nice and very quiet. Parking is great and the grounds are well kept. Neighbors keep to themselves, but like I said, no worries about theft or loud parties. Also located right next to the Davis Athletic Club. Sad to be moving, but rent is far too much to afford. The rate for a 3 bedroom/2.5 bath for Fall 07 is $1705. —KaitlinSufit

2007-08-05 13:15:25   i'm considering geting one bed room apt. here. can someone who lived here tell me how much the utilities cost living in here? now the rent is $930 for the fall 2007. —toymin

2007-08-10 22:23:04   This place is so disgusting, I moved in and there were cockroaches all over the bathroom, the closet doors were off hinged, and there was a blasting smell of smoke in all the cabinets. Oh and tonight I found a cricket in my bedroom. REALLY worth $930 a month! —timmytimmy

2007-10-29 21:37:11   We moved in Aug 31st - we just got our first NW&P bill - it came out to $60 - around $15-17 for trash, water, sewer each, plus a service fee and new account fee......still kinda high for just a one bedroom....I dunno about the whole cost split by sq ft and number of ppl being that fair.....but yeah. We haven't had any problems so far - cept for the mice in the walls, but we just covered the holes and we haven't had any problems since. I mean, atleast they aren't roof rats............As for mold and cockroaches, we don't have any problems with that. As long as you keep your unit clean and stuff you shouldn't get any problems. It's pretty quiet and we have a great view of the sunset/field from our balcony. The management is pretty nice, can be slow at times when getting services done......but I think it's more of the service guy rather than the office. Ofcourse, there are a lot of units and I'm sure mine isn't the only one putting in service calls......The only thing that I hate is the $500 pet deposit! I want to get a kitty but I can't afford that deposit and the fact that I might not get it back if we ever move out.........all I can say is that this place is a 100% better than where we came from! (don't live on Drake drive across from panda express - it's hell!) —Ambercrystal

2008-02-28 19:04:38   We're coming up on our one year for the lease. As for everything that's been said, I agree with the weak water pressure (it is enough pressure, it's just not great), mold on the window sills- true. Nicolai (spelling?) the maintenance guy said to use bleach and air out the rooms. It's a pain. We've have never had a problem with him getting stuff done quick. He's always come by within a day to do any of our fix-ups. I've never gone through the management with a work request so maybe that's where the hang up comes from. The management is nice tho.)With the NWP we get charged anywhere between $50-$80 with 2 people in the 960sq ft unit. We looked for somewhere else to rent from with a washer/dryer in unit or hookups but all of them were way smaller or had poor floor layouts so I think we'll stay put unless we find a house to rent. If you've been living here for over a year and re-up they'll have your carpets cleaned. Um. What else...when we first moved in there were these baby cockroaches. I don't know what they really are, but they looked like roaches. There were always at least 3 in the bathroom or in the tub- we found them all around the house really. It took a few good mop-downs with some pretty strong bleach water and some pest bombs and really thorough cleaning for a few months. That and winter stopped them from showing up I think. Now that it's warming up we've killed 3 large roaches and some spiders, but that's been really infrequent. We are a clean couple. The closet doors are really cheap. You have to completely break them out or their tracks if you need to remove them (using the closet space for a dresser or ent. center) and if they accidently come off track you're pretty much screwed trying to fix them up again. One neighbor said that the remodel they did in '02 was basically new carpet and fresh paint on the cupboards.
Our neighbors are quiet and friendly and the landscapers come around noon- that's nice. —EmC

2008-03-10 11:49:22   We have lived here for almost a year and have good and bad things to say about this apartment complex. Overall, it's quiet and the apartments are spacious. Our PG&E bills are extremely high, especially during the cold months. We have had to turn the heater way down and use a space heater to save money. The management is pretty unresponsive to repairs and other questions/problems. I have had a few calls not returned, so just stopped calling and fixed things myself. We had cockroaches when we first moved in and have had the pest guy come a few times. It seems to have relenquished the problem. Neighbors and friendly and respectful. —maymay

2008-07-31 12:34:37   Had bug problems from the start. Fleas when I moved in from previous tenant and pets. Roaches got bad at times, dead ones all over the place in the apartment and outside. When walking dog around the neighborhood at night you will see roaches all over the ground in dark spots, gross. Management ok, not nice or approachable, but have candy. Pool needs more shade. Pretty pricey. "Gym" sucks. Like the layout of the 3 bdr 2.5 bath, came with W/D and had a huge kitchen. —SSS

2008-11-07 16:25:49   My husband and I lived here from Sept. 07 to August 08 and we loved it. Maybe because we got a great, corner unit and could watch the sunset from our balcony. The place was spacious, clean (I saw a cleaning person in the laundry room almost every morning) and the neighbors were quiet. Never had a problem with maintenance orders. The laundry always worked well and parking was a breeze. I agree the closet doors are poorly constructed, the sliding door to the balcony was frequently broken and we had the occasional creepy looking bugs, but I didn't feel like it was in any way infested. The layout of the two bedroom was really nice, with the dining area separate from the living room. Also loved the location - walk to Nugget and Longs. We liked having central heat/air and so many windows with wonderful views. The office staff were pretty reliably in the office during office hours and even had some weekend hours which may have made it less vulnerable to vandalism. It is more expensive than other places in the area and it's clear when you really look up close at the counters, cabinets, walls, that it's an older style apartment that's been "spiffed up" with fresh paint and carpet.—Shari

2009-04-29 21:20:47   This is no longer a nice place. 1: New management is bad. Just bad. She's rude, curt, and not very approachable. She blows off what complaints you have while giving you a nice smile and saying something will be done. 2: New maintenance lady is bad. Just bad. Well, and lazy. 3: The pool didn't meet standards when a surprise visit from the Health/Safety guy in October. Pool's still not open. The hot tub has never been nice, or hot. It's luke warm at best and there's always crap in or around it. 4: The bike in the gym broke at least a year ago and it JUST got fixed in mid-April. 5: They put in a new treadmill= nice. BUT it has a plug-in thing that doesn't fit the outlet. You have to 'check out' an adapter from the office during office hours in order to operate the treadmill. Or buy your own. 6: They're really anal about protocol. A woman in our apartment row had flowers & plants in planters, nice ceramic pots, and they told her she could only have 2. Then they dug up and tore out most of the shrubs around they're corner lot. It looks like crap now. Just a bunch of dirt and twigs. Maybe there was a bug problem. That's fine. But singling her out when there are plenty of others in the complex with more than 2 pots is wrong. And they are always leaving notices that something is wrong with your porch area. No bikes allowed on porches. They must be locked up in the racks outside. Well, that's nice. There are how many people here with bikes and what's that? Only 4 bike stalls? Brilliant. But they haven't bothered us besides with the lame notices. :EDIT: I am deleting my #7 because it's too specific and I don't want them to really have it in for me when we start our moving out stuff. But it's a pretty schisty thing they done did. But I'm going to try to get them to pay for at least part of it.

They don't pay NWP. We pay everything. Plus it's a socialized system so I pay for other people's waste. BS. For 2 people we pay about $58/month on NWP. PGE is the same way, you pay for the row's usage. We're so out of here. It was $1235 for a 2br with washer/dryer 2 years ago. —BaggedMilk

2009-05-18 14:23:22   —JanethN.

2009-05-27 13:59:26   Absolutely the WORST apartment complex I have ever lived in! Management is terrible! They will harass you constantly despite paying rent on time every month. Any trash that's left on your front door for more then 30 minutes expect a formal write up. One too many plants out on the balcony, another write up. Cockroach problem, management are more then happy to ignore you. Oh and by the way, there IS a cockroach problem throughout this complex- I found (actually, my indoor cat) found 8 in one night. Yuck! Avoid this place. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! —love2dancewild

2009-06-01 08:42:46   I lived in this place a couple of years ago, it is generally a nice place, but could use some improvement. I guess it was different management at that time who were rather nice, for the most anyway. They did have one thing in common with the new management based on other people's more recent experiences and comments; the cockroaches. This place does have a severe cockroach infestation; that is the reason why I left. Cockroaches would come in the apartment all the time crawling in from who knows where. I had the maintenance people try to seal every obvious hole or opening on patio and front doors and frames. Management refused to have my apartment spayed for a long time saying they were spraying outdoors and that would be enough. It wasn't. They used to claim that the cockroaches came from the empty lot across the street. lmao!!! I can picture them walking across the street every night, lol. I finally got them to have my apartment sprayed after about a year of trying... it didn't help for too long. The entire complex should be tented and sprayed. You couldn't walk outside without running into a few both dead and live ones. It was awful at night knowing I could easily step on one.

Besides that problem, I really liked living there. I loved my apartment. It is a great location, low-key, quiet yet so close to the nugget and longs. I hope the "hot" tub works better now, it was never all that hot just warm. Rent has gone up so much since I lived there just two years ago, that sucks! —belles

2009-06-01 08:49:11   HDN sucked back then too, the entire network would go out entirely for days and they blamed it on some communications company. HDN = BAD —belles

2009-06-01 18:34:15   I've lived here for 2 years and am really looking forward to moving in July! Here is as unbiased a review of this place as I can muster. Pros: Quiet, plenty of parking, pretty good storage. No bugs (i know there are units with cockroaches, and they are all over the grounds, but i've never seen one inside so go figure), Pool area is nice and uncrowded, quick trip to nugget shopping center. Mostly grad students and families. Cons: EXPENSIVE!!!! They are losing 70 apartments to new renters (more than half the complex) this summer yet they still raised rent on all units... $30-80 a month in water/garbage not included in rent, Cheap appliances and cupboards, New management are being hard asses on every ridiculous rule, Pool has been closed for 5+ months - no sign of any work done yet, apartments are dark and just feel old, closed floor plans. $500 dollar PER pet deposit, the place is constantly falling apart and you either fix it yourself or have management come into your place and fix it (leaving a nice note on all the things you need to change in order to not violate your lease, and when they will be back to make sure you changed them.) Next door park is nice yet at the same time bad, nice because it's a pretty good park, bad because from 4-8pm every night there are screaming/cussing/drinking basketball players there. What else??? Ugly patios i guess... That's all i can think of for now. —JeffS

2009-06-09 12:03:10   The apartments are spacious, and the layouts at this complex are better than most others I have viewed in Davis. Parking is good for the most part but it gets crowded late at night and there are handicap spaces that are not regulation size or in convenient locations. The gym is tiny and there are really old treadmills in there, it's also not ventilated very well.
The HDN internet service is very slow and doesnt always hold signal.
Also, Roaches are a problem here!
That being said, the management are pretty attentive to tenants needs and usually willing to accomodate requests. The location is convenient, the Nugget and Longs are within walking distance and Pole Line leads you straight to Target and Costco in Woodland. The price is steep for the location (it's pretty far from campus) and they dont cover water/sewer/trash like most other complexes. I have lived here for a year and probably wont be renewing. —LMarie

2009-06-19 14:31:54   Do not take the lease with this apartment. They are totally bad. Your deposit can never be taken back. We lived there for 14 monthes. They asked us 1000$ deposit, but they only refund us 78$. You know there are no damage in our unit and we took 1 week to clean it. The unit looks very clean when we moved out. But they took off our money near to 1000$. They can not give us a resonable explanation. We are plan to sue them. —cherry

POOL AND SPA FIASCO OF 2009:

These are the original comments and notes that have accumulated over the first half of 2009 related to the long-term closure of the pool and spa area. They have been moved from up above since the pool and spa have re-opened as of June 26th, 2009.

Pool/spa — Pool and spa are both closed while the spa is redone. Pool is open seasonally. Management estimates the pool will be open before the end of June 2009.

2009-07-05 18:16:06   The spa is cold! wtf, does anything in this place work? —Domlertylique

2009-07-12 13:38:57   Went to go see the model apartment and I was shocked by the rude managers. The blond one was on the phone while the other one barely acknowledged my presence. After I was shown the apartment, the brunette (i'm guessing she's the assistant manager) smoked outside while I got my driver's license. As I was walking to my car, I saw her cigarette bud on the floor. How gross and unprofessional! Overall, I won't be signing a lease here. —Nikky

2009-07-12 18:26:42   The spa and pool are still open, yet the spa doesn't have any bubbles. At least they've turned up the heat now... Maybe someone can fix (or turn on) the pump system? —iliveindavis

2009-08-26 15:45:30   The water runs about $75 a month - not $25 as mentioned earlier. It is divided between the complex, so you can't control your monthly bill. There have been some strange people moving in here lately. It was better a year ago. —maymay

2009-09-08 13:40:23   We told Management 3 times that we would like to leave a month early from our lease, and if they could find someone to take it over for us. They finally called and told us that someone was moving in september 1st (our lease ended august 31st, so no help there). We moved out early and were planning to just keep the apartment empty and turn in our keys on the 31st when our lease ended. We were called and asked to turn our keys in early. I asked if we were going to get a refund on rent for august since we were still paying for the entire month, and by turning in our keys would lose access to the unit we were paying for. Management was shocked at our request and refused, prompting us to tell them that No, we would not turn in our keys until midnight on the 31st (good luck cleaning the apartment in 8 hours for the new tenant). Finally they were forced to concede the rent for August. I would definitely not recommend dealing with these people. —JeffS
