West Davis is the hip slang name for most any place in Davis west of Highway 113. West Davis is populated primarily by masses of residential housing projects, such as Stonegate, West Manor, Village Homes, and Westwood.
The area has just one small strip mall, with limited amenities. The campus's West Village development due to open south of Russell Blvd. in 2010 promises to have at least a small cafe, which will be within biking distance of West Davis residents.
Those who can handle the 15-minute bike ride from campus along the beautiful Avenue of Trees are rewarded by some pretty amazing scenery. Russell Blvd. is the main non-highway route heading west out of Davis, providing a great path for weekend bike treks. The many crows along Russell are amazingly smart: they have figured out how to drop black walnuts from the trees onto the road so that cars will hit them and crack them open, thus saving them a whole lot of beak work.
Those who go too far west in West Davis run a dangerous risk of coming upon Winters. By the time you cross County Road 98, you're officially in the outskirts of town.
