Davis Overview
Home to the lauded California University, Davis is a winning gem of the west coast scene and always in-demand. Offering plenty of that famous Cali sunshine and an impressive array of local amenities, this is one west coast destination well worth discovering.
What is the history of Davis?
Initially dubbed 'Davisville', the city sprouted around a train depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad in the mid-1800s. Largely a farming and agricultural-based economy, the city added a post office by 1907 and officially incorporated as Davis a decade later. Today, the city is a mixture of college students (with an impressive body population of over 30,000) and working-class professionals.
How is the weather in Davis?
Those calling Davis apartments home can expect much in the way of California sunshine. Spring can occasionally bring with it just enough rain to help the glorious local flowers bloom, but typically Davis weather is marked by mild conditions and sunny days. Winter is sometimes chilly and prone to fog but snow is incredibly rare, while autumn lends itself to crisp and pleasant evenings.
How do I get around town?

Bicycling is a hugely popular mode of transport in the city, with numerous bike racks and trails found throughout the city, and nearby Sacramento offers the closest commercial airport option.

What are the local media outlets?
The 'Davis Enterprise' is a popular newspaper dedicated to covering northern California issues, and most Davis apartments feature major broadcasting options thanks to regional affiliates. Radio leans towards a mix of traditional FM programming fair...classic rock, modern R&B, oldies hits...although NPR and other talk radio formats are also found on the airwaves with ease.

The UC Davis Arboretum offers glorious botanical gardens and plenty of friendly ducks, making it a great visit for families residing in nearby apartments for rent in Davis. Toad Tunnel is a great spot to watch for wildlife crossing over the dangers of the interstate in safety, and fans of the organic lifestyle will definitely want to check out the Davis Food Coop.
What is there to do around Davis?
Stroll the Transmedia Art Walk, a self-guided tour that includes several dozen installations around the city, or bask in the 50,000 square feet of artistic glory at the Manetti Shrem Museum, both within easy reach from numerous Davis apartments. Explore the truly inventive 'tiny house' community of The Domes near the university, or fill your Davis apartment pantry with fresh produce from the weekly farmer's market.
Any annual festivals or Davis events to know?
Davis is flush with annual events for the whole family, ranging from the Whole Earth Festival...featuring guest speakers and workshops held each Mother's Day weekend...to the popular Celebrate Davis celebration, complete with zip-line and rock climbing excitement.
