My experience in living here was awful. The floors and furniture were damaged upon arrival and maintenance was constantly needed. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I got billed to pay for all the damage I didn’t do to the apartment and when trying to work with management, they told me not to worry and then still billed me. Then when I tried to contact people after this, they never got back to me. All they care about is taking your rent money. Do yourself a favor and live literally anywhere else in Davis other than this place.

From a parents POV - - Not a great fit. Literally, the only pro is that you have an individual lease agreement, so you don’t have to worry about getting evicted if your roommates can’t make the rent. Cons, too many to list, but here are a few: the grounds aren’t maintained very well; maintenance is slow to respond; carpets were dirty when rented; no evidence of a cleaning at all (dirty/dusty countertops, hair and dirt in tub, old deteriorating mattresses, dirty stove); couches were infested with spiders (what good is a furnished apartment if the furnishings are disgusting and dangerous?); unable to use amenities ie pool, gym, study rooms because of COVID, however, rent was not adjusted for compensation; WiFi is horrible and unreliable which has affected my daughter’s ability attend her online classes; pair much older established adults with younger college students (19 year old college students are paired with 30 year old adults who have already graduated and are at different places in their lives). It’s very difficult to get anyone in management to call you back (exception - Ryan, who is very nice and accommodating.) Think twice about renting here. Parents, take the tour and ask the right questions. Had I known what it would be like, I would’ve told my daughter to pick another place. Please note, a lot of the positive reviews are from people that have either just moved in, or haven’t moved in yet. My daughter has lived there for a year and unless some drastic changes are made this will be her last.

My husband and I were there 3 months ago and noticed the abandoned bike there in the complex. We moved our daughter in two weeks ago and the abandoned bikes still there. The light in front of there door is been out since my daughters moved in TWO WEEKS AGO. We have called management twice and they are not returning our phone calls. We are not renting here next year. Managment is very poor.

I lived here for three years and the overall experience was great. The apartment is close to the school and there are many bus stops in the community. It is fully furnished and the maintenance service is good. (average 2-3 wait days for non-emergency situation). Utilities are included in the rent so you don’t need to pay extra. The disadvantage is that there is no controlled entrance for the community so there existed theft and burglary sometimes.

After 3 months living in Sol at west village, now I can share my experience in detail.The maintenance is perfect. Its available 24/7.And the staff are awesome, and kindly answered any questions.However there are some concerns.Lets to begin with mail boxes!!I was notified bu USPS seven times that I should expect mail! But 3 of them are received :( .Furthermore, it is about the bike theft and safety of property! My bike was stolen after one week that I bought it, however it was locked by two locks! Those locks were broken and the bike was gone!

The internet issue has become a HUGE inconvenience. I have been struggling to get things done. Everyone else with lower rents have an amazing internet network. The apartments here are costly and cannot survive with their broken internet. They suggest to use study halls where I can connect to UCD guest network which does not work sometime. I have no idea why am I paying for their WORST internet network.

This is one of the worst places to live in! The staff is so unresponsive and downright rude.. due to the health issues os a family member I needed to terminate the agreement only a couple of days after I signed the lease.. I hadnt even moves in then and immediately approached the office to enquire as to how to terminate.. for one whole week they avoided me and didnt even bother to respond to my numerous emails and calls. In addition to that when I visited their office a staff member actually lied to me and told me he would take care of the termination from him end and has already made that request in their portal. He actually took my keys and possess under that pretext and yet I got no reply for another fifteen days when I asked for documentation on the same. Only after calling them out on this less than legal and courteous way of treatment did they callme back and tellme that actually no process is in place and I have to start looking for smone to take over the lease etc. I was horrified that they would downright lie to my face earlier and take away my possession without even informing me about all thisSave urself and avoid these ppl and this community..they are sure to make your life miserable

For one of the highest rent apartments in Davis they really dont deliver. They choose to have ice cream socials, barbecues, and pool parties while there is a major cockroach problem and the entire complex is without working internet. Their priorities are completely backwards and unless you prefer the occasional free goodie over a pest free apartment and internet access dont waste money here.It might take 2 months to get the internet working again was said to me on move in week.This is my third year living here and the past two years have been pretty good. Something has changed recently and everything has fallen apart. This place used to be good but I cant recommend it anymore.

Terrible, a lot of the furniture is broken and maintance request takes a lonnnnng time. The internet is broken for most of the time. Good luck trying to study with no internet. Not even enough to upload homework. Waste of money. Dont live here.

DO NOT LIVE HERE! LOOK FOR BETTER OPTIONS!!!I’ve lived at West Village for three years. The first year had been awesome as the service and the community was good. However, after that, the response of the mantainance team and staff has been very disappointing.Despite multiple carpet cleaning requests, it’s not been met once in the past two years; forcing me to spend extra to call external carpet cleaning services.Moreover, the fire alarm at my house has been acting up (for a month now) and despite intimating the team multiple times, not only have they not cared, but not replaced the batteries either. This is very unsafe!I have literally put multiple service requests and emails to the West Village Team, but it’s all been in vain because the technicians just mark the service request as “complete” but never show up. The quality of service under Sol’s leadership has plummeted to its worst unlike the time when the previous property owners cared about providing timely servicing.

I just signed a lease for an apartment but I havent moved in yet. However, I wanted to say that the customer service is great! The people Ive talked to where super nice and very helpful! They were able to answer all my questions and genuinely cared. The place looks amazing and offers so much (small movie theatre, dog park, gym, yoga, study area, clubhouse etc.). Looking forward to moving in!

Be careful while leasing west village apartments. after sometimes they wont provide you any help regarding the issues related to apartments and literally they stop picking your phone calls and replying mails. they will eat up your security money and any aid received from government end. basically they are scammer and highly unprofessional bunch of peoples.

Amazing apartments, a lot of amenities for a good price. Maintenance is fast and effective. The tour, given to us by Danielle, was also very helpful. The area is also near UC Davis campus and close to the University Mall. 10/10

I lived at Sol at West Village for both my junior and senior years at UC Davis. I really liked living here however I had issues with my security deposit regarding my door that stopped working the day before my move out date. Maintenance came and broke a part of my door frame since it was not an electronic issue with the key. I was initially fined for the door and didn’t receive my deposit over something maintenance said they’d fix before my apartment inspection. After months of emailing and calling back and forth Marshall Walters finally helped me out and his customer service was great! He helped me out immediately and apologized for the inconvenience and sent me the full security deposit back. I’m really grateful for his assistance in resolving this issue. He was really nice and understanding. He’s honestly the best member there!

We signed contact a month ago but won’t move in until September. But 2 weeks after we signed their price go down $150-200 per month. We asked if they can do anything for us to get better price. They said nothing can change. We signed up early but got the worst deal. Very disappointed. We love the place and the service but they not honestly about the price . You can share the same floor or room with another but pay more expensive than your roommate.

I just signed a lease to this apartment. I have not moved in, but I want to leave a review about the customer service. I got most of my assistance from Reena Gladwin who was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful with questions. I felt comfortable asking questions and like I was getting genuine information and not pressured into anything. The area looks beautiful too, and I would feel safe walking around at night. I did see a model interior, and the apartment seemed like a stunning place as well.

The apartment community is very nice and offers so many amenities, it is the best place to live as a UC Davis student, and allows for a lot of options when it comes to rooms and apartment layouts.

Sol is a beautiful place, the apartment units are spacious, the gym has nice equipment, the pool is big, the neighborhood is friendly, the staff members are polite, and the clubhouse is amazing!

Christyne Zaragoza has been awesome. Admittedly, after moving in the apartment was not very well cleaned. She made sure to see to it that everything was taken care of and in reasonable order after I brought up my concerns. She was quick to respond and always willing to help. This apartment is in an absolutely awesome location of Davis. There are really nice walking/bike paths right outside the door and it is also very easy to get onto I-80. The facilities here are nice and it is a safe, friendly village.

West village is a great place to live! Super pet friendly which is nice, loved getting to hangout with the cats on the property between my breaks. Also a nice community that has plenty of amenities and activities going on.

Main office is super friendly and helpful! Housing is nice, area is pleasant

Moved in just last quarter and i’m already very comfortable here. the people are very friendly and it seems very safe to just walk around. also great since the bus line is so close and if anything it’s close enough to bike to campus.

Seems like a really great place to live. Very clean and modern looking, not to mention the variety of amenities they offer. West Village is a dope spot as well.

Overall pretty good apartment, the fixed utility bill and the modern style is the best thing about this apartment. You can enjoy a modern style home and not worry about your utilities, like electricity or water usage. The gym that is available is also great. Complete set of equipments and very spacious.

I have lived at Sol at West Village for about a year and a half. I have absolutely loved my time here- definitely a home away from home. The facilities are always so clean and well kept, the maintenance is extremely attentive and efficient, and the staff is friendly and always willing to help with my needs. The location of Sol at West Village has been more than ideal as it is only a 5 minute bike ride from Trader Joe’s and Campus!! I am renewing here for next school year so that will be three out of my four years in college spent at Sol. If anyone is looking for quality college living, an easy move in (furniture is included) at a great price (utilities are a set number), and a place to call home while in college- Sol is the place to be!

Marshall is a very helpful and patient service manager. I am currently not in US and couldnt be there to solve my deposit problem as a former resident, and he really took care of my problem and reply my emails on time even we are in different time zone. Thank you!

Best college apartment complex in cow town. Ive lived on campus for a year, somewhere else in Davis for two years, and finally decided to enjoy a nice single room with my own bathtub at West Village for my last year here. I love living with other peers while having my own personal space and West Village is the perfect place for my needs. Having my own bathroom is handsdown the best thing ever, not to mention the variety of amenities and the environment in general. I recommend getting a room on the top floor it has the best view and is the quietest.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU EVER DECIDE TO RENT HERE!!!During the summer while I was at my hometown, the apartment management had my unit cleaned out when it was on an EXISTING lease. I went there in September to grab some things and arrived there only to discover that my entire 1-bedroon apartment had been COMPLETELY cleaned out, leaving only the food in my kitchen. They denied any responsibilities and insisted that I call the police to report it as a break-in even though there were no signs of forced entry.Not one day later, the police found out that the apartment management did in fact have maintenance clean out my apartment, which by the way contained about 70K worth of items, NOT including many sentimental items that money can never buy back, and things that had very private personal information including bank info, school notes, and my journals. According to the police report, they entered my apartment under no work order and without notifying me. Apparently, they have no trouble reaching out to remind you to pay them, but they wont reach out to let you know theyre taking all of your things.To anybody considering getting an apartment here, let this be a warning of just how negligent, incompetent, and careless they can be. They want one thing and one thing only, and thats your money. They have no respect for your things or your privacy. They have made these past few months very hard for me, that Ive had to go to therapy to deal with the trauma that theyve caused me.

When I toured this place back in 2019/early 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic, I would say that it is relatively one of the closest apartment complexes and I think one of the affordable options based on units and size. Pool and the gym/study areas look pretty cool and clean/new! Even the sample apartment that I saw in person and on video looked pretty clean and modern/new as well. Only four stars because when I signed my first lease with Sol at West Village, the previous management company did a switch on my requested unit and I was placed in a different style unit than the one I requested in the application (luckily the previous horrible management was replaced and now they were able to specify and confirm my floorplan before signing the lease). Also four stars because they have really great prices, BUT it is not announced ahead of time and its rather announced unexpectedly (signed for one price when all of a sudden a few weeks later, a hot special was live and I couldve saved even more had I waited a little longer- and I cant cancel my current lease to save even more). But I guess its all about taking a chance/risk and see if you are lucky. But I cant wait to go back in person (hopefully) soon and see my apartment in person. (Note: This review is subject to be modified either positively and negatively depending on experience).

Their lease agreements are the worst. They cant even make exceptions for global pandemics like the coronavirus. All they care about is getting your monthly rent and expenses. Unless you want to waste your money, do not consider West Village.

Sol West Village is an great place to live. It’s very accessible to uc Davis, clean/well taken care of, and worth its price. The apartments are spacious and it’s right next to a coffee shop and market place making it super convenient! Would totally recommend

I’ve been living here since I moved out from the dorms. It’s fully furnished and closed to campus. I like the fact that I’m only responsible for the rent of my room and if anyone else in the apartment decides to move out, I won’t be stressed to find another person to move in.

Great community. My unit was very dirty upon move in. Some issues were fixed promptly, others took well over a month to fix. The parking is also extremely expensive. Those are my main issues. Other than that, everything else is pretty great here. Would be great to have more food options by the peats and convenience store!

I am a second year student and this is my first and last year at West Village. First of all, because of my out of state zip code on my phone number the management office sends my calls to the their “outside answering service” who is usually not very helpful. Comparatively my housemate with a Davis area code never gets sent to that answering service when the management office is open. Second, many of the individuals in the leasing office are unhelpful and rude. You would think for the amount of rent we pay, they would be a little more helpful. Terrible at communicating, we lost power for a couple days and it took them way too long to even acknowledge that we lost power. If they’re gonna charge us so much for rent they should be on top of stuff like this.

After my first year at the dorms I was looking for a place to live that would be most convenient. I am from SoCal and I did not want to move my bed frame or purchase a new one or have to deal with furniture. Sol at West Village was just the place I was looking for. They took care of everything. I never have to worry about finding a maintenance man, I just have to put in a request. Living here has definitely lowered a lot of living alone burdens.

Nice and (mostly) quiet place to live. The convenience store is a little too expensive but is nice to have it so accesible. Oh but if you move in be prepare for having spiders in your apartment.

Nice facilities with modern upgrades. Definitely worth a look if you’re looking for housing in Davis!

My roommates and I went into our apartment search for freshman year with a lot of doubt and uncertainty due to the pandemic and how that would affect our lives as students but Sol has been nothing but great and has given us nothing to worry about! Maintenance and staff are so efficient and friendly! We were a bit rushed in signing our lease and therefore werent able to do a walk through of our unit which made us a bit anxious but we got all the roommates that we wanted and our apartment is exactly like the photos. We four roomies + the dog love it here at Sol!

Beautiful property really nice office staff and maintenance

Lonnie in the leasing department was very friendly and helpful, especially during the pandemic lockdown. He helped me find the right apartment, and when he was away from the office Deja stepped in helped me process the application. Deja was also very friendly, helpful and professional. She is extremely patient and, best of all, fast. Both Lonnie and Deja deserve 5+ stars. Thank you!

Lived here for almost a year now and i really enjoy it. just renewed my lease :)

DO NOT LIVE HERE!! West village only cares about one thing, their money. To them the residents are just things to occupy rooms. They refused to let people break their the lease before it started during coronavirus. They conduct inspections and dont lock the doors, absolute disregard for other peoples safety. This is horrible. I will not renew my lease and advise current residents not to renew either. Horrible people!

Ive lived here for a year and its definitely a nice place to live (both amenity-wise and unit aesthetic-wise), but it definitely is pricey especially if you look at the prices of other places in Davis. Here are some of my thoughts:Pros:- Private bathrooms (unless you get the shared unit ones)- Stainless steel appliances- Rooms are very spacious- Sheer number of amenities (study rooms, pools, apartment complex gyms, etc.)-Fully furnished options- 10 minute bike ride to campus- Dedicated Unitrans stops- When there isnt a pandemic going on, there are plenty of events hosted by management (free food, prizes. etc.)- Coffee machine available for residents to use in the leasing officeCons:- All sorts of critters just seem to find their way into your unit (cockroaches, ants, spiders, you name it)- Internet speed is 30 Mbps up & 30 Mbps down; very sub-par for modern speeds. Additionally, youre not even allowed to have a private router set up in your room.- Very pricey for apartment rent (~ $1200/month for the cheapest option; you also have to pay a $30-$100 parking fee every month if you own a car)- Maintenance requests can definitely take a while to fulfill- Super thin walls & you can hear people above you stomp aroundPersonally I wouldnt mind living here again, but it definitely is out of most peoples price ranges and you dont really get bang for your buck.

Second year living here and will be staying for the third year. I use the amenities a lot, like the gym/printer/study room/pool tables and they are great. I love how the utility fee is constant every month and includes everything even the WiFi. WiFi works great most of time, can be a little tricky sometimes. One thing is that even with a parking permit, finding a close enough parking spot can be difficult(space a bit limited), and the permit is quite expensive. I have submitted a few repair request before and they are usually done within a day or two. Oh, and it’s pet friendly. Overall great apartment, would be better for a few improvements.

Although we had a rocky start the new management at West village has been amazing, it isn’t what people used to complain in the past all of our work orders were completely within a day or two and the management genuinely cares and responds to any concerns myself or my roommates ever had! I highly recommend especially during Covid since the rooms are really nice to stay locked up in during long lectures

Worst value for a Davis apartment. They have the worst management, the worse service and the most overpriced apartments. The rooms itself are probably some of the newest in Davis but expect low quality service from housing. They will never reply to your emails unless it somehow benefits them. During renewal times they will never let you put anything outside of your room and if you have a porch and live on the first floor you will not be allowed to leave anything there. Even though you are paying to lease the common area as well as your room, expect to only be able to fully utilize your room space. Amenities for this year are also all closed so dont expect to be able to use anything besides your room and maybe even your common area if they allow it. Service requests take ages to fulfill and you will move into your apartment expecting at least one or two things that are broken since they really dont fix everything before you move in. They renovate the exterior so that your apartment looks decent on the outside but when you start living there youll really realize how much of the stuff is actually broken. Their management attitude is the worst and will give you a strong feeling of arrogance since they think theyre somewhat better than you because they work for a housing company in Davis. TLDR dont live in west village unless you want to highly overpay for an apartment in Davis that lacks good amenities and service and isnt even remotely close to anything besides campus.

Expensive, bad management. Try their best to charge you extra money. People who come in to maintain for no reason.(Just try to take your money) The people they asked to maintain is not wearing mask. Too bad. Worst management ever. They have inspection every year and they cannot give a specific time. Which is really annoying, if you are not in your apartment when they are inspecting they will just marked that you made damages and take your deposit away.

I love this place! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend!!

Open common area is great for cooking, studying, and entertaining, especially with the large island. In-unit washer and dryer and individual room bathrooms are a plus.

Great place to live at in Davis! I have lived here for the past 2 years and honestly I love the fact that the V line is so continent to get to campus and back ( Runs every 15 mins ) Also the study lounge is a great addition to my time here at davis when the library is packed!

It’s a really good place but they can work on there customer service! It’s really slow and it takes weeks.

Trash internet

They have a really bad management. They have no sense of empathy nor are willing to help with any of your concerns. No one at the front desk answers the phone call and when they do, they got so much attitude. The apartment itself will not meet your expectation because of the problem it has once you start living in it. There are also a lot of cockroaches and spiders both in and out of the apartment. They pretend to help you out but only to their benefit. They dont care about you once you sign their lease.

Christyne is wonderful! She is so accommodating and kind! Love this place!

The management is really bad. They have no means of helping their tenants. I was told that my lease was terminated on the day of move out without informing me in advance. I am getting in touch but they dont even have the urgency to help with the confusion. I do not recommend this apartment.

I love the apartment:)

Worst living experience I’ve ever had. When moving in, I had wires hanging from the ceiling where smoke alarms were supposed to be, this took 3 months to be resolved despite it being an “emergency” and against California Health codes. The room was not cleaned before Imoved in, so there were spider webs, dust, and dead flies all over the room, and the clean up they said they’d provide was never done after I requested it. There was a hole the size of a beach ball in my ceiling after it rained for the first time that winter. Maintenance requests I made when I moved in (6 months ago) never fulfilled. Locked in my room due to faulty door locks, and when calling the locksmith, they said they’d be a few hours, so I had to take the hinges off the door myself and missed my classes. I was wrongly charged for a month that I wasn’t even here for, which took weeks to take care of, despite my contract clearly stating otherwise. Vents are connected so if your roommate smokes, it’s coming into your room. My power went out in my room only, and this emergency was put off until the next day and maintenance refused to talk to me when requested. Parking lots are unsafe, my car was broken into and my window was busted. Due to all of these problems, I’ve been trying to get out of my lease, yet they are persistent with keeping you locked in, despite them not doing anything that was promised.

When you first move in, you are greeted with a very dirty apartment- gross fans, floors, random stains, etc. On top of this, the office staff is quiet useless- lazy, unprofessional, and no knowledge on how to do their job. If you need somethings fixed, have a question, or need them to fix their mistake it will take many calls, walks into the front office, and sometimes having to get aggressive about your problem. These thoughts are not just shared by me but also many of my neighbors who have experienced the same.

The toilet seat was missing on the first day; the staff said we have to wait 1-2 weeks for them to fix it. Saying we should just practice our “squat.” Had to talk to the manager to fix it. Overall, maintenance is horrible. Parking (unassigned) costs $65 a months, and you cannot cancel it once you sign the papers.These are the newest apartments in Davis which is nice, but very unclean. Spider webs everywhere, and the tub wasn’t cleaned when my roommate, and I moved it. At the end of my lease, they tried to overcharge me for parking even though I had paid it fully; had to talk to the finance guy to take care of it; took him a week to reply to my first email, and in total, took him 3 weeks to take care of this issue.Printer tends to not be working most of the time, but you can usually fix it by unplugging and plugging in back usually. The study hall was very useful, but very loud too at times.

Edit: I initially gave them one star due to the issue detailed in my originalreview below. They soon contacted me about it and took steps to resolve the issue. I therefore find myself obliged to change my initial one-star review for their effort. I will edit my review again as the situation develops.Original review:Not for serious students, not unless you have a high noise tolerance.You will be greeted in the morning with the sound of a mower, welcomed after a long day with the sound of infuriating music from the neighbors in the afternoon, and you will be left restless in the evening with noises coming from a party just around the corner. If you are like me and need a quiet place to study, you will not find it here.I am obviously exaggerating, but there is some truth to it. I cant recall a week where I havent been startled from my sleep multiple times because of the noise outside. This place surely does not provide an environment that is conducive to resting or studying.The presence of that much noise prevents me from giving them more than one star, since, as a student, I find having a place where I can actually rest to be paramount. Although I must say, there is little else I encountered that I could complain about, besides perhaps the ever-increasing and high prices. The amenities and services here are top-notch.

Do not live here. Rent is far more for what this place is worth. There are many rats and bugs plaguing the rooms and amenities. Management is the absolute worst. They do not handle your problems with any sort of care, and do not respond to your issues unless you email them many times. They do not listen to your problems and issues and will often dismiss them. They are NOT on your side whatsoever, which makes sense because they will do everything in their power to get all the money they can out of you. I have had my car broken into on the premise, and West Village did not reach out or do a single thing to help ease the situation. They will not fix your maintenance problems in time. I have reached upper management about many issues that I encountered and there has been no reply. They simply do not care about you and will not help assist you in any serious issues. Save money, and your sanity and do not live here.

The staff in West Village are terrible. They do not know answers to anything and keeps abandoning questions. I would not mind them not knowing, but their attitude and service is just terrible.

If youre considering backing out of an upcoming lease that you prepaid for... good luck. The contract is ridiculously set and stone. Once youre in, its hard to opt out.

Never answers my email.Doesn’t answer the phone call either.Even if someone gives me a response, it’s useless.

BE AWARE!!!! You will never get your security deposit back!THIS IS THE WAY THEY MAKE EXTRA $$$ NOT GIVING YOUR DEPOSIT BACK.They will try to find ANY excuses to charge you and not give your deposit back. Before we left the unit we cleaned it and the common areas even though the other roommate was not going to move out.Later when I asked for my deposit back they send me a bill for garbage bags left in the common area. After I told them that the roommate living in the second unit was still there and the bags were his they then changed their tune and said they were charging me for dirty carpets! I accepted the unit AS-IS with the dirty carpet etc and after 7 years of normal wear and tear of the carpet they decided this was what they use to keep my deposit and charge another $170.00.Then they came back and said they were charging me for a vacuum cleaner and a peace of foam that was left in the unit. These items were in the unit when I took the apartment as is. If I threw them out they would have charged me. You cannot win when you have a complex that will scam you out of your deposit and charge you more and threaten to ruin your credit if you do not pay.

I have been emailing left and right to get my deposit money back which I have been promised I would receive in 3~4 weeks in January. I do not understand why it is so difficult to get in contact with them and I keep getting automated responses that the email inbox is no longer being monitored by everyone Ive been contacting. I had to pay 2 months rent for my deposit and I cant even get an update to what is happening to my money at all. Ive already left for my home country and this has been stressing me out for the past almost now 3 months. I opted to leave this review because it seems to be the only means and my last resort to contact Sol at West Village at all.

Overall great apartment. Ramble and Solstice are fully furnished, and you get your own bathroom which is a huge plus! The only downside is that the walls are super thin so you can hear just about everything in your apartment which makes is sometimes hard to study (depending on your housemates, but you also fill out a roommate match form) but the good thing is that you can always go to the study rooms.

My daughter would like to stay in West Village. We have been working with them for months but not able to find a solution. The only way they will let her stay is if I sign up to unlimited liability for anything they think went wrong with West Village because of my daughter. We get contradictory information from different people in the office. I really hope they figure our out a reasonable and straightforward process to enable students to live in West Village.

I without a doubt love where I live. I live in the brand new apartments Solstice and they are incredible. The furniture is nice and the brand new clubhouse area is adorable and great. Aside from the great apartment that I live in, I really like how the management go out of their way to provide and make sure that their guests are happy and satisfied. The community assistants are always friendly and helpful whenever I need assistance, have questions, or just need to pick up a package. The office supplies free testing supplies during finals week.Plus there are always fun events such as pool parties and free stuff given to us (the residents). There was a printing issue but they fixed it right away and provided two brand new printers and fixed the older one. I honestly dont know how many apartments would provide this much for their residents. They really spoil us.

I liked the apartment for all of the commodities (washer AND dryer in unit), how airy and spacious it was, and that we each got our own bedroom/bathroom. I loved the deep bathtub so much! Its hard to find at other apartments. It seemed safe and it was right next to the Davis Center for Sac City, where I took my classes, which was awesome. I also liked the little cafes in the area. The only thing I didnt like was that a lot of people threw parties and it was loud occasionally. Also, they tried to keep my deposit even though I was neat and left it spotless after I cleaned before I moved out. Luckily, I researched it and threatened to take legal action if they did not return MY money; they promptly sent it to me and that was that. Other than that, I loved it! The gym, pool, and game room were awesome, not to mention the volleyball pit. I miss it.

Pretty looking and nice amenities BUT cockroaches, mice, and the absolute WORST if you need help from staff. They will NOT return calls, emails, and they MIGHT get around to maintenance requests in a month or two. Quick to charge you for every little thing... and slow (NEVER) will respond to your numerous calls and emails.

Living at West Village for me was a great experience. Met a lot of great people and I still miss the hot tub.

Good place I guess. Was going to stay there, but very shady. Did not disclose they would run a credit check which is a hard inquiry and will constantly be on your credit report for 3 years. it is a factor of about -20/-30 to your credit score for 3-5 years.Edit: To their reply: What I meant by disclosed -> I had already bypassed that by showing proof that I was able to pay upfront for a year. I even requested to do so to withhold the credit check and was approved by the staff, so there was absolutely no reason to have done so. Thanks for replying.

Do you know how much desposite they asked from me? $2,750. My roommates were only asked for $1,300. Since I have a decent credit score and had no history of concealing, I really cant understand why I am treated with this sort of discrimination.

Wanted to leave my review here as well. This place is beyond amazing, best place to live in Davis. I just gave it 4 stars because I have had problems here in the past with the management but the team that is in place now is amazing. I have met with J. D. a couple of different times and he has always been super helpful. Parking is tight and we pay a premium for it but love the complex and the events. Best so far have been Harvest Festival and Casino Night.

We showed up on moving day for our daughter and the apartment was never cleaned. The manager sent over a cleaning person to clean and sent a carpet cleaner person over to only clean my daughters room not the apartment. The rent we are paying is higher than the advertised price. The experience has been horrible. They take advantage of college students. Honestly if you are planning on a double up room, its not even a possibility of being comfortable. They have 18 inches between the two beds and you have climb over one bed to get to the restroom. This is our second student at Davis and our daughter never had an issue at the other properties she lived at. In addition to the horrible move in conditions we were told to keep the blinds closed because the construction crew next to the building liked to look in the windows 🙄.

******WARNING****** If you are inquiring about housing, do not give these people your email address!!!!! They use an email service that is impossible to unsubscribe from and will continuously send undesired emails even when repeatedly asked to stop. I had to file a complaint with the FCC and still receive their soliciting emails. This tactic and their pricing both drove me away from their housing.

As a freshman people told me that I should experience the on campus living, but snagging a lease just in time to only pay just a little more than dorms was a steal! Its clean, safe, local, beautiful. Its worth the pay and its definitely worth the time to sign that lease.

You know the frustrating feeling that occurs when you’ve been living somewhere for some time and you pay a lot of money to the landlords with the expectation that they would ensure the renter’s happiness to stay there. But they create a new problem that ruins your quality of life and when you contact them, they don’t reverse the problem they caused, because they won’t admit that they are in the wrong and tell you to find ways to adapt to their problem that they impose on you to deal with. A week ago, West Village had changed their outdoor lights to be much more brighter than they need to be throughout the night and what’s worse, one of these new bright lights is outside my window. Even with my blinds closed, (the best that they could be) light still pours into my room. Causing me to have a frustrating time trying to go to sleep during the night. Consequently, making me to feel tired during my work in the morning and possibly will cause me to create a big accident of some kind due to the lack of necessary sleep required for your body to function normally. As their are scientific studies on how light negatively affects the persons health during sleep. I find ridiculous that West Village would handle their problem with such neglect for their renters’s welfare. I just wish West Village could see the error they are imposing on my well being and reverse the enormous problem they caused on my livelihood. I’m fine with everything else West Village does, but if they interfere with my entitled pathway towards sleep then I am reasonably angry at them.

I lived at West Village for 3 years as an undergrad. I lived at The Ramble as well as Solstice. The reality of these apartments is that they are the nicest ones in Davis and they focus on bettering the environment. How people can give this apartment community 1 star is beyond me. I can understand you having a personal issue that may only apply to you or even the Wifi not working (even though that has been fixed) but that does not warrant a 1 star review. The complex is beautiful and immensely pet friendly. Most owners will let you pet their dog and I always see little doggy dates going on in the courtyard areas! They are constantly giving out free stuff especially food! They have their own bus line so getting to class is super convenient plus they have their own bike trails leading to campus and all through the property. The front desk can get a little hectic at times but Im not sure what people expect since they have like 2,000 residents. What I enjoyed most about my experience at West Village was the community environment it promotes. They way the apartments are facing in little clusters allows you to get to know your residents. The people that live here go to UC Davis for the most part so you already start out by having something in common with your neighbors. To be honest, most of the friends from college I am still friends with after I graduated from UC Davis, I met at West Village! I personally would like to thank you West Village for the opportunity it gave me to build memories with my roommates and friends I still talk to today! The most important thing I was looking for in an apartment was an environment where I could meet more people and I was able to accomplish that!

I have been living at West Village for three years and it has been amazing! The amenities are amazing, with the pool, volleyball court, gym, and rec center. The rent is a bit high when you initially see it, but when you consider everything that is included (even security at night!), it is beyond worth it. The front desk staff is always nice, and I especially appreciate Allyson. She goes above and beyond to help me whenever I contact the front desk, and the job always gets done! If any current residents need anything, Allyson is the person to talk to to solve the problem, and if you are a student looking for housing next year, West Village is the place to be!

Beautiful place with super kind and helpful staff. If you have a problem, they really do try to do anything they can to help you out. Truly great people, I cant thank Olivia enough for her help!

Please read this before signing your lease!!My experience living there was okay, our apartment was nice and amenities were okay (expect the dirty, dust bunny filled gym). My issue with West Village started when I moved out. On the night before move out day, my housemates and I spent 6+ hours cleaning the apartment, it was cleaner than when we moved in. After speaking to my ex-housemates (who actually received their deposits back), they said most of the deposit was taken for cleaning expenses. Lets just say KISS YOUR DEPOSIT GOODBYE! And I say who actually received their deposits back because I NEVER RECEIVED MY SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK! It has been OVER A YEAR since I moved out. I spoke with Marshall Walters (who ignores my emails) and he assured me that my deposit would arrive 2 months ago. I still havent received it, I call 2-3 times a week just to be sent to voicemail each time. This business is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

I have lived in West Village since 2 years now, and I have never really had any kind of extreme (good or bad) experience with them, it was always just to-the-point. However, today I am so glad to receive Kelly Watkins help!! I am out of town for an internship, and I was expecting some important mails that I needed ASAP. Kelly accommodated her schedule and let my friend take my mail for me so he could deliver them sooner. She was sweet and understanding over the phone; I was surprised because other staff members are usually always rushing to end the call.Anyway, huge thanks to Kelly! She was awesome today

West Village is definitely, hands down, feet up, the best apartment complex in Davis!If you are not living here at you go to UC Davis, youre not living!The customer service is just spectacular!The amenities are high quality!The atmosphere is very enlightening!The maintenance is very talented!I just dont think you could go wrong with their low monthly rent fees, accessible parking offered, and dandy customer service!Personally, I think the location (3 minute bike ride to campus) is the best!

I love the apartment =) Thanks for the great events and maintenance services. I love the lively atmosphere and I really loved the study rooms, both Solstice and Ramble. I spent long hours there and got a lot of work done. I enjoyed the events like the Harvest Festival too! The office employees are really sweet and helpful as well.

Internet is terrible and the perks are pretty mediocre. Definitely not worth the price. The prices have gone up but the quality of everything (including staff, internet, management of main building and its study rooms, resident support, coffee room, etc.) has gone significantly down compared to previous years. Look elsewhere for a good apartment, trust me it’s not worth the price.

As it is my first year living in Davis, I did not know what to expect as far as housing options. I am SO glad I chose to live at Solstice Apartments! They have exceeded my expectations! The people who work at West Village are extremely nice and friendly and make you feel glad that you are living there. There are many community events, such as the Harvest Festival and Casino Night that allowed me to get to know the other people who are living in the community. With the newly-finished swimming pool and hot tub just a short walk away from my apartment, I feel like I am living in a resort rather than an apartment complex! The rooms come fully furnished with a huge bed and your own bathroom and walk-in closet and the amenities are brand-new so everything is beautiful. Another great perk of living here is the proximity to campus. It is literally a 10 minute bike ride to the ARC, and if you do not want to bike to school the V line bus comes every 15 minutes. There is a stop literally right in front of my apartment. The people at West Village truly care about us residents and our happiness and it shows.

Wonderful staff, enjoyable events for the residents, and an adequate living space. I would not live anywhere else as a UC Davis college student, which is why I keep renewing! Great environment and location, especially since it is close to campus. Thank you West Village Viridian Apartments for making me feel at home :).

Very convenient distance from UCD. Workers are all so friendly and respectful. Study lounge is super nice.

Beautiful Community! Close to Campus! The staff are very nice and always willing to help at any time! Maintenance staff are outstanding and are always quick to respond to work orders. It was a pleasure living at this community! I would recommend to any incoming UC Davis student! It is worth the price!

I went to visit West Village a few weeks ago and I must say that I was very impressed. It is very modern and features resort style amenities for the people that live there and their friends that visit. Its definitely worth checking out if you are looking to live in Davis!

I am living at the Ramble and liking how the environment is almost always clean. My only complain may be the pet waste that pets owner left on the road when they walk their pets. Otherwise, its great to live here. Clubhouse is nice and has variety of entertainments. There are always patrols during night so I feel safe walking outside at 12am!

The property is nice. They have a great entertainment center. The staff at the front desk have been helpful. Jazmin is great, she is always super friendly. I definitely recommend this place.

I must start by saying that, although very expensive, West Village is in a very convenient location for students, it’s close to Davis and has some shopping places nearby, however from our experience, the management is so greedy and it seems as if they are trying to make money off of these students regardless of their situation. My son and his roommate rented the room in one of the apartments that was supposed to fit two people and it cost them $1,200. Instead they gave them a very small room which couldn’t possibly be comfortable for two people to live in. There were two beds squished together and one desk in the corner. From first glance, it was clear that they gave them a room intended for one person and threw in an extra bed. The closet was very small and the room barely had walking space let alone trying to fit another desk. They informed the management that a mistake had been made and that they didn’t sign for a room of that size and wish to be relocate to a room but the management never bothered to respond. After several attempts, they asked if they could at least get a price deduction, considering they were still paying for a two-person room. They refused because a contract had been signed. He and his roommate, left with no choice, stayed for the entire year. In addition, on their last month at west village they were told that they needed to leave the apartment two weeks prior till the end of the month. Now I have had several years of experience living in an apartment and never have I come across a management that tells its residents to leave the place when they have paid a full month’s rent!! I understand they need to do some preparations for upcoming tenants but the reasonable thing they could have done is make them pay for half the month’s rent. Now, my son is taking summer class and has no place to stay, he has to rent another place to stay until the end of this August. For all parents who are trying to send your kids to that apartment, don’t let the convenience of west village apartments fool you, the management is terrible and very greedy. There are COUNTLESS of apartments they are way cheaper and nicer for students. I have a question to the owner/manager- what would you do if your son/daughter is in my son’s place?

Lack of communication. The office is never open, you never get a live person and NO ONE returns message after message being left. This is unprofessional as well as rude!

Construction way too loud and starts at 7am everyday, right outside my building. Im paying way too much money for a cramped apartment that was extremely dirty the day we moved in.Edit: I got a call from the office after I made this review and the guy blamed the university for the early construction, said nothing about the cleanliness of the apartment, and then at the end asked me to take down this review as a favor because it made them look bad. I have submitted numerous bad reviews to the West Village surveys but this review was the first one that I got a phone call from.

West Village is a real nice housing complex, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to live in a good environment and likes have free tacos and other nice free things that west village offers. One of the other things I really liked is how they give out free testing supplies during testing periods, I dont have to stress about rushing to get test supplies when I can go to the front desk and ask for some. Great place to live seriously.

I just recently applied for housing at West Village. A few things went wrong with my application, so I was prompted to go and speak with staff at West Village. The leasing professional that assisted me, Tiffany Rupp, was MORE than helpful. She resolved everything and personally made sure that every last detail was perfect- taking more than 2 hours to sit down and assist me with every last need. Without Tiffany, I would have never been able to complete this confusing and complicated application process with such assurance. She efficiently and patiently worked with me and my mom and overall was a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Tiffany!

I moved from Ramble to Solstice for the 2013/2014 school year to move in with new roommates. This place is brand new and comes furnished! We got an awesome unit on the 3rd floor with floor to ceiling windows and a vaulted ceiling. All of the units have balconies or patios as well. The service here is great, and I could not be happier that I stayed in the West Village family by moving to Solstice. I would be renewing this year if I was not graduating!
