The Trees Apartments is a leafy, greenery-filled apartment complex in West Davis that is owned by two UC Davis graduates. It is known for having the largest array of floor plan options (13!) in Davis. Also, "The Trees" is the only complex in Davis with a 6 bedroom apartment for lease. Commenters credit the new management team (2009) with making the complex a much more desirable place to live. A scenic bike ride along the Avenue of Trees gets you to UC Davis and Downtown Davis in about 10-15 minutes.

Current and past tenants note that the apartments are fairly spacious, clean and quiet. It is also noted that maintenance requests are completed quickly. Community amenities include a large pool and hot tub, a game room with Air Hockey, Foosball, 46" TV & Wii, a comfortable study lounge with fax and copy machine, and the option to join Stonegate Country Club.

2010-08-01 13:00:37   After living here for almost a year, I would definitely recommend The Trees to any of my friends. The apartments are quite spacious and have been kept up very well. The property is beautiful — there's a reason they call it The Trees. The manager, Dean, is friendly and fair-minded. The move-out charges are a little harsh (you have to pay for your own carpet cleaning, and if the apartment is not clean to the management's expectations you get charged for cleaning services, and if paint needs to be touched up in one room you will be charged for the whole apartment). Also the security deposit is a little steep in my opinion at 100% of one month's rent (I've lived in places where the deposit was just last month's rent + $500. It's wayyy more here). Maintenance is pretty responsive and things get done within two or three days of submitting a maintenance request. Rent is reasonable but if you're looking for a good deal I would suggest shopping around... you can find way cheaper rent elsewhere. Overall though living here has been a good experience. My rating of The Trees might change based on how much of my security deposit I get back though.—jsogul

• UPDATE: I got back $400 out of $600 of my share of the security deposit, which I thought was acceptable since we didn't clean the apartment very thoroughly before we moved out, we didn't clean the carpets before we left and I think there might have been some very minor damage to a door or something. I ended up living here again this year for seven months as a sublettor and nothing about my opinion has changed. I think it's one of the best complexes to live in in Davis. —jsogul
  

2010-08-20 08:24:28   I subleased from The Trees Apartments for the summer of 2010 while in town for work and training. The apartment manager, Dean, was extremely helpful and friendly. When seeking an apartment, I called numerous places around Davis trying to find a sublease and most managers were unwilling to help their tenants find someone to sublease their apartment for the summer. However, Dean went the extra mile to not only help me find a suitable living arrangement but also to help the tenant who had to move out early. Most apartment properties don’t take the extra effort to care for their tenants the way that Dean does at The Trees Apartments. Besides for the excellent customer service, I would further recommend living at The Trees because of the spacious and quiet living quarters, the beautiful landscaping, and the other amenities such as the grill area, heated pool and hot tub, game room, weight room, and study area. I read a few people mention the distance to campus but my wife and I really didn’t see that as a problem. We rode our bikes everyday into downtown (about one mile from central campus) and it only took us about 15-20 minutes. So getting to campus should only take about 10 minutes or so. In addition, a bus stop was right next to my apartment and it was only a 10-12 minute bus ride into campus. I would definitely recommend The Trees to anyone looking for a great apartment with lots of amenities and great customer service. —LandonMarston

2010-11-30 12:18:19   The Trees apartments is one of the best apartments is Davis. I regret moving out. The apartment manager is extremely nice and helpful. The apartments are clean, and most of the time it is fairly peaceful. —cherylN

2010-12-13 10:24:30   One of the best apartment experiences ever and I've been in and out of apartments for the last 7 years! The management and maintenance staff are top notch. Highly recommended. The only reason I moved out was to move into a house closer to downtown. If I ever have to move back into an apartment, I'm going back to the Trees. —aroach12

2011-01-19 17:47:24   I have been living here since Aug 2010 and so far so good. The apts are a good size, a little pricey though. It is a nice place to live for sure. It is def quiet in the day but at times it does get loud at night. Some people even like to play basketball at 1am on a Tues night, def hate that. Dean is great. He is a very nice guy and very helpful. The complex is on the older side but it is well maintaned. The only major problem I have with the apt is the space between the front door and the floor. There is such a huge gap that it lets a lot of cold air come in. I fixed that problem by just placing a towl to prevent air from entering. Also, there are a lot of trees which means a lot of leaves. I was lucky enough to get a parking that doesnt have a tree by it, so its no problem to me. But I do see how cars get and im glad thats not my car.
Other than that, like I said so far so good. —Greengirl

2011-01-25 16:21:36   Me and my family have been living in these apartments since august 2010. We looked at everything and there is no doubt these are the best in their class. Very clean, very well maintained and a very peaceful place. Wait to meet Dean, the manager and his wife! They are probably the best managers in town! They will help you in any thing you may need. The maintenance team is also awesome, very responsive. Prices are very reasonable for the type of quality they offer and there is a very nice bike track to get to campus conveniently and easily. I would recommend them right away! So far I have found no single reason for not recommending these apartments so be fast to reserve yours! —JesusBrezmes

2011-03-29 03:18:59   DON'T LIVE HERE! I've been here since Sept of 2010 and have had nothing but problems. Dean treats you like his best friend when you are signing the lease and paying the deposit but the second you move in and he has your money he could care less about you. We are still waiting for him to come and fix things in our apartment from before we moved in. Every time we ask about it he tells us he'll send Modesto later that day but nothing happens. He's now blaming us for all the things that were already wrong and threatening to take it out of the deposit. We've had to contact a lawyer after Dean said that. Dean is never in the office unless it's the 1-3 of the month when he is anxiously waiting for rent. Our lease said rent was due by the 5th of each month and we were charged a late fee and told rent is now due on the 3rd. The apartment is small for comparable places in West Davis or just Davis in general. Find somewhere else to live. You'll absolutely hate living here after about a month. —CollegeKid2014

• Dear CollegeKid2014, I apologize that you've had difficulty connecting with our Community Manager Dean in the office. Our office is open M-F, 9-5pm with the exception of lunch. Dean is also available 24/7 by cellphone. Although, our entire staff is capable of handling our residents' concerns. Regarding the security deposit, we want to return all of our residents' deposits. So, we give everyone a detailed move-out package to help make that happen and many of our residents receive their full deposit back. Our lease states that rent is due on the 1st of every month and late after the 3rd of the month. If you were charged a late fee and your lease has a due date other than the 1st, please bring a copy of the lease into the office and we will refund double the charge. As always, if there is anything more that we can do to improve your living experience at The Trees Apartments, please contact us. —derrick.c.underwood, Leasing Agent, The Trees Apts.

2011-03-29 17:26:35   I've also been living at the trees since September, and I haven't had any problems. We've had multiple things go wrong from broken dishwasher, to jammed doors, to keys that stop working, and someone has always been there to take care of us within at most two days (when our keys didn't work, someone came within an hour and changed the locks for us).
I also think dean is a friendly guy, and I see him in the office almost every day when I'm checking the mail or picking up packages.
While the whole "rent due on the 3rd" thing is true and annoying, I still love this place, and would say DEFINITELY recommend living here. The amenities are nice, I think management is great, and the occasional snacks are a fun bonus (popcorn on Thursday's, and the occasional pizza, cookies, or burgers). —Morganna

2011-05-13 14:30:37   I lived here last year and I the one thing that really stood out at The Trees was the helpful and responsive management. Dean is by far the most approachable and helpful manager I have worked with in Davis. There was, occasionally, one or two times where a maintenance request got lost and we had to fill out a new one, but Dean and Modesto (primary maintenance person) have always been on top of it. —KLouie

2011-07-19 12:53:16   I really enjoyed living here. The atmospher is quiet and the tenants tend to be mature students and young professionals. The property is also unpdated and Dean and the maintenance are very attentive to details. Living alongside Russell Blvd. is a bit noisy. But otherwise no complaints. Dean and his wife are very nice, easy-going people. They even offered me a ride to work in downpour when I was walking down Lake. I will miss this place. —NicciS
