About Student Housing in Davis
Davis is a mid-sized college city in Yolo County, located in the Sacramento Valley about 15 miles west of Sacramento. With a population of roughly 70,000, the city is defined by its relationship with UC Davis, one of the top research universities in the UC system. Davis has earned a national reputation as the Bicycle Capital of the United States, with an extensive network of dedicated bike lanes and paths woven throughout the city. The compact, walkable downtown along G Street features independent restaurants, cafes, bookstores, and a beloved weekly farmers market. Davis offers a high quality of life with excellent schools, low crime, and proximity to both urban Sacramento and Northern California outdoor destinations.
