2007-04-26 09:15:08   These apartments are really lovely and well kept and the complex is a nice, quiet place. I have a one bedroom, and the unit is very roomy, well laid out, and private. There has been zero skimping on the upkeep, and all units have fairly new tile, cabinets, and appiances. Pitfalls? The nieghbors sometimes don't get the "assigned parking space" concept, however the street parking is abundant and unrestricted. Also, The gardner starts mowing and trimming as early as 6:00 am once a week. But you can't beat the price, especially for what you get. —rbroadfoot

2007-05-21 14:10:56   After making it through an entire school year here, I must say I like the place.

Pros:

• Quick response from maintenance. Especially during emergency calls (my bedroom roof had a leak).
  

• The place is nice and is well kept.
  

• Laundry easily accessible.
  

• The management seems very willing to upgrade/replace appliances instead of trying to fix something that isn't fixable.

Cons:

• Only one parking spot per apartment. Seriously... this is a college town, the two-bedroom units are probably being rented to two students, both of whom just might own cars.
  

• No garbage disposal/dishwasher
  

• During a hot day, my upstairs unit gets really warm. So much so that if you are like me and have the bigger bedroom in the two-bedroom units, it is unbearable without a window/portable A/C unit.
  

• Wiring for TV/internet not exactly ideal and well done.
  

• The two bedrooms are back-to-back. Certain noises transfer a little too easily. —StuartJeff

2008-11-15 17:49:11   to all people thinking of getting an apartment here: you have to pay a deposit in order to get a key to laundry and pool, laundry machines are more expensive than other apartments i've seen, they charge you at least $8 on top of your rent for insurance and you have to pay your own water and sewage bill. no dishwasher or garbage disposal, thin walls and roof so that if you live downstairs you can hear people running around upstairs and even showering. but it's warmer than most apartments in winter and not too hot in summer b/c of all the trees. parking spots in parking lot are EXTREMELY narrow and only one per apartment of course, and since it's so narrow parking is difficult and most people park crappy anyways. but there's plenty of parking on the street, just make sure to take valuables out of your car, even shoes. closets are just ok...on the smaller side. very limited kitchen space for plates and such, and bathroom has almost no storage space.

so yeah, this place has fairly roomy apartments and is close to everything, both south and north davis, but the low sticker price is offset by other ways in which they tax you, like with the water and insurance charges that i mentioned above. and yeah, no exercise room. —boing3887
