West Davis overall is a pretty quiet place to live. Although I'm only spending two months here,…read moreI've got not complaints about Eastlake. The office ladies are super nice and the free printing in the lounge is useful. One thing I wish they had was a washing machine inside the apartments, but it's only a minor inconvenience. One odd feature here is the multitude of front doors. I'm living in a 3BR apt and we have, get this, 3 front doors. It's a little awkward, but I guess you can call it extra privacy? I really like the ambiance of the townhouses and it might just be my imagination, but mine gives off a woodsy smell/feeling.

The absolute worst apartment complex. First management is terrible and very unprofessional. She is…read morevery rude when you put in a work order and if you need to order any parts, goodluck trying to get the maintenance man to return. I have never met such a rude landlord. She preys on college students and their "lack of knowledge" about renting and is very passive aggressive. Second, the apartment itself is horrible. The buildings are old so they are constantly doing construction. If you are on the first floor, you hear every step of the person on the top floor. The entire apartment gets mold everywhere, especially the bathroom due to the poor ventilation (not a housekeeping issue, it's an apartment issue). The flooring is cheap and sucks. Once you get one thing fix, another thing breaks. And again, the landlord whines about doing her own job. If you consider staying here, goodluck. I can't wait till my lease ends and I never have to step back in this horrible apartment or deal with such an incompetent landlord.

I've been living here for about six months, and overall I think this is a really nice apartment…read morecomplex. The management is quick to respond to problems/repairs, and my unit layout is great. They had a decent selection of laminate wood floor units, which was also a plus for me. Though others here have talked about 'hobos' rummaging through the trash or people's cars, I haven't seen anything like that or felt threatened in this area. Some people even leave their bikes without a lock on, so I think it's safe to say it's a pretty safe area. While this might be a down side to students, I really like that the apartment is away from campus (though I work on campus). It has more families or older couples living in the complex, which is also a plus for those looking to live in a less-undergrad dominated apartment complex. The major downside to Silverstone is the price. Their current prices to be already quite high compared to most other options in Davis, and now they are hiking up the price due to renovations. The new prices seem unreasonably expensive, and sadly I'll have to take my business elsewhere.

Update after living here for 1.5 years. The apartments have…read morealways been well-maintained, and the landscaping is amazing; does not look old like many of the other Davis apartments. The leasing office is Super professional, and they have been pleasant to work with. Maintenance is fast and top-notch, as well. One downside is that many of the ac/heating systems here are outdated, so PGE bills have been very high during the winters. I asked my neighbors, and they had similar issues, as well. Other than that one hiccup, I strongly recommend people to giving this place a shot.

I lived here for a couple of years in college. We had a really nice 4 bedroom apartment for myself…read moreand 5 other friends. Everything was in solid condition and we opted in for an in unit washer and dryer for convenience. If we ever had any problems it was easy to create a repair request with the front office/maintenance staff. The maintenance staff was always friendly and on time. One of the perks were the free cookies, popcorn, and coffee at the office. They also held our packages to avoid any possible theft. There was also plenty of parking including shaded spots which was a life saver in the summer. Overall, I would highly recommend Sorrento as it was a memorable part of my college years.

I'm posting this review--and I would give them 0 stars if I could…read more We moved out of Sorrento Apartments (Unit 275) on August 30, 2025. Under California Civil Code §1950.5(g), landlords have exactly 21 days to return our security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions. That's the law. They ignored it. We gave them our forwarding address on September 8, 2025, and again on October 15, 2025. The move-out statement they finally sent was dated September 25, 2025--past the legal deadline. Instead of returning our full $600 deposit, they claimed bogus deductions and said we owed them money. We've disputed their charges in writing, over and over, demanding our full deposit back. Have they resolved it? No. Instead, they keep harassing us with repeated phone calls and text messages trying to collect an alleged $171.28 balance--telling us to call them or pay through their online portal. It's now well past the deadline, and we still don't have our $600 back. This is illegal, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Sorrento Apartments has made it clear they don't care about the law or their tenants. Do not rent from them. Zero stars.

I lived in Temescal for one year. I honestly really liked living here except for the noise…read more The manager, Pam, is SUPER nice. She actually cares about her residents and wants to help us when needed. Rent is reasonable compared to other places. It is close to the marketplace, so it's super convenient. J and G run here, so that's also very convenient. Downsides: the freeway is next to the apartment so there is noise from the freeway. Second floor is SUPER squeaky, so if anyone is walking around, you can hear the floor squeak and that may wake you up in the morning or the night. The walls are very thin, so you can basically hear what your housemate is talking about or any kind of noise they are making. This was difficult because I'm a light sleeper, so if you are a light sleeper, make sure these are okay with you before you sign the lease. Other than that, I really like living here.

Temescal is an okay to decent place to live. Here are the pros and cons that I found while living…read morehere. Pros: - Access to the G and J bus lines is amazing - The garden areas that surround the building are really quite nice. I loved all of the lizards that were running around and the greenery was refreshing - Nicole + the rotating office staff were always really, really nice and professional. They were always able to answer my questions and were quick to get us help with maintenance - The shopping center down the street is really nice to have - The room sizes are very good, whether you're sharing or having a single room and nothing about the rooms other than the blinds and closet blinds are outdated. Very spacious closets too! - The website used for paying rent is very easy to use and intuitive. Just be careful setting up if you choose to set up a monthly recurring payment, it can accidentally pay for the entire amount even if you specify an amount. Cons: - Near constant bugs + rodent problems. The office gave us glue traps, but our unit was constantly seeing earwigs, and the occasional mouse or cockroach. I really hated having to throw away glue traps full of bugs or ones with mice. - The wood stove in our unit was not removed since we joined an existing lease. It was an eyesore and potentially a fire danger. - The kitchen is extremely outdated and gross. The countertops were this ugly black and white speckle, which made it impossible to see messes on it. The stove is outdated and the pantries are gross from years of wear and tear. - The shower did not get refinished until a month before we moved out, and it was super gross as well. Just old and not well-kept. Our bathroom also constantly got mold since there was no window in there and the door would just close and not stay open. - Very far from downtown and a lot of other things in Davis. - The AC was terrible. It couldn't detect the temperature upstairs so we would have to crank it really low for it to do anything, causing our PGE to be really expensive during the warmer months. - The maintenance people would always make our floors really gross (mud, grime, etc.) so I was hesitant to report issues since I didn't want to clean up after them. - The laundry machines would constantly break, not accepting coins or not doing a good job drying stuff. There are lots of machines, but I was never surprised to see 2-4 machines down. They ate a lot of my quarters. - WiFi worked well in some rooms, but not in others. I know they are upgrading the WiFi, but it had not been improved before we left. We paid $60/month for it, but it was free our last month due to the change. Overall, I didn't completely hate my time at temescal, but there are plenty of reasons why I didn't choose to renew my lease.

Just moved away from Cranbrook. I honestly miss it already. I lived here for a total of 2 years…read more It's fairly old buildings but Evon and others keep it running! The appliances work fine and if something is wrong maintenance comes and fixes it right away! I lived in West End right by the train tracks and it doesn't pass at extremely late or early ours. (9 AM to 6 PM I would say maybe three times a day?) It never really bothered me. There was an increase in crime before I left (a couple of cars got broken into) which was concerning. I wish the apartments came with a microwave but its a simple appliance to buy. Bugs can be an issue but the exterminator they bring in is great and professional! People work hard to keep this place in good condition and it shows! Gym is on the smaller side as well as the common room but with COVID I guess that's out of the picture. They've done a great job trying to keep everyone healthy with face masks and installing a hand sanitizer dispenser at the mailboxes. Keep up the great work all!! I'll miss it here! It truly became my home.

DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutly worst place ive ever…read morebeen in keeping it short to get the point across 1. mold in the apartment walls and we got sick 2. maintance left a huge hole in our wall and tried to leave it there over night when we had $1000's worth of equiptment and our cat in the unit 3. they dont clean the common area unless called out (multiple used sex toys and items left in common areas when they had notice of it and did nothing for 2 weeks 4. staff and manager (krissy) are VERY unhelpfull and dont care about the tenats there and was caught lying to us on multiple ocations 5. our catalitic converter and our bike was stolen in the parking lot and the staff didnt do anything when the report was filled both times when we pay for security on the premisis but it just "parking athority" 6. we have noted on our paper work "do not enter without premission" yet they were caught a handful of times entering the unit without our say PLEASE take this review in consideration when your are planing your move. ive had bad experences when it comes to looking for units but beleive me when i say THIS IS NOT A VIABEL OPTION (UPDATE TO RESPONSE) Kristy, we have reached out to you multiple times to you and your team and to no avail and I strongly disagree to your response to this review. You say that you and your team really cares about your residents but all people say about your team is about your baked goods you make, nobody cares about your baked goods. What they really care about if they are paying way too much for a unit is for that unit is to not have mold in it, appliances that are not 40 years old, ACTUAL security and not parking authority, punctual and practical response to a problem and not scripted messages that just basically tells your tenants "your problem and not mine" Also we were comming from another tandem apartment and expressed our concerns about that but YOUR TEAM responded with "that is our stepsister location" and " we are like them but not like them" We have expressed our concern and I really didn't want to put it all on blast like this but I don't want others to suffer that are in a more desperate situation that are just trying to find a place to call home (UPDATE because I was forced to) Sence someone doesn't believe me pictures were posted of some of the situations and their descriptions

I've lived at a few other Tandem properties and a couple of houses in Davis, and Chautauqua may be…read moremy favorite place yet. The units are very spacious (especially the living rooms), and the 1BR + Loft was a very cool layout with a ton of open space due to high vaulted ceilings. We don't have any noise issues, and the neighborhood isn't problematic. Even though our bedroom window faces the pool, we have yet to have a noise issue (this was a problem at every other apartment I've lived at). I work at a nearby Fire Department, from which I often come home exhausted, but my quality of sleep has been amazing since I moved to this comfortable setting. It's a part of the green belt, so I can literally step out the door and run to one of probably 15 beautiful nearby parks. Safeway and Savemart are pretty much equidistant, so I always have a choice of walking-distance groceries, and a I've seen few bus lines pick up here if you're a student and need to get to campus. Parking is always available for residents, and street parking is always available for guests (especially on Anderson, North of the Alvarado roundabout). Like almost all Davis apartments, the cabinetry and some appliances are '70s-esque, but everything in our apartment works perfectly and the AC/Heater is extremely efficient (the first apartment where I am never too hot or too cold). I used to live at Chaparral Apartments - where Kerry K. was previously the manager - but when she left, our experience turned pretty miserable with the new manager, Tara. The most pleasant surprise greeted me when I went to tour Chautauqua to find that Kerry had left to become the manager here. She is very friendly and organized, and goes out of her way to help her residents. More than once she has called me on a weekend to help with apartment issues. I'm transferring to a renovated 1BR next year because they look amazing, and she called me late last Sunday to let me know the unit I wanted had become available. No apartment manager I've met has worked all the way through the weekend like that. All of the other staff here are fantastic, as well. The girls at the office are always sweet and accommodating, and the maintenance guys take care of any problem same-day with a smile. If you see them around Chautauqua and have an issue, they'll normally even pause what they are doing to help you. It kind of feels like a big family here. I'd recommend Chautauqua to anyone. All of my friends that have lived here or are currently living here stayed more than one year (which is why I checked it out in the first place).

I've lived in my 3-bedroom 2-bath apartment at the Grove for a year and a half now. It's fine, and…read morethings have definitely improved since I moved in here. As other reviews have noted, our manager now has an assistant, which means that there's usually someone in the office during regular hours (this was not the case until a few months ago, much to the frustration of many tenants) and the new guy doing maintenance is very helpful. We had a problem with our toilet for probably over a year, and it was finally fixed with a lasting solution. The manager has also helped me out at least once when I locked myself out, so I'm thankful for that. The apartments themselves seem pretty standard for Davis. The walls don't keep out much noise and there are a few projects that we were told would happen (re-doing the front doors for better insulation, painting) that never did. However, the 3-bedroom units have washers and dryers included, which is fantastic, and recently (summer 2015) had the backyards expanded. The management has been very flexible with letting us do what we want with our backyard, and it's great to have the extra space, a window onto a private area, and a few of neighbor-across-the-wall's lemons. At least for the 3-bedrooms, there is also ample covered bike parking. The Grove's location is another plus; it's very close to a beautiful bike path through Village Homes and has an entrance into Westlake Plaza, which has a grocery store, dollar store, pizza, taqueria, brewery (opening soon), and more. It's about 15 minutes to campus by bike or bus, and generally pretty quiet. There's a gas grill and a fine pool, but no exercise room. There aren't any "apartment community" activities here, but the office did offer breakfast foods on the go last finals week. It's also pet-friendly here and there are a couple of parking lot cats that are very sociable. Rent is expensive, utilities are not included, and I doubt that any claim of "free internet" should be trusted (we have AT&T and it's still pretty bad). In 2016-2017, the three of us in my apartment each paid $700/month just for rent, and the rate has gone up for next year. Overall: not the best deal you could find in Davis, but it continues to work for me because of the large backyard, great location, and vast improvement in the service over the last few months.
