I visit my Grandma often in Davis. We go all around Davis, and I feel like that even that I don’t live here, I am familiar with Davis enough to be reviewing it. I can even review the night-life, because I have stayed at my Grandma’s overnight. I think Davis is a wonderful little town where you can bike everywhere, you will send your kids to a school filled with kind teachers, a university that has a good animal school, a good farming school, and a good wining school right down the road, a few miles at the most. Davis does a great job protecting the eco. Davis also fills kids’ summers with fun. They provide fun summer camps for kids of all ages, and they dim the lights at night so you can just see where you are going, but you can see the stars. But the houses are definitely not cheap, they cost just as much as Sacramento! We wanted to move to Davis, but it’s too expensive.
Learn a lot. Protect the eco. Find yourself in a reality you’ve never lived in. That’s Davis!

Live and work in Davis, this lovely quintessential college town! Never Drive in traffic, bike everywhere, enjoy warm summer nights spent in the quaint downtown, walking the greenbelt or enjoying the Wednesday Evening Farmers Market. A Second Farmers Market is held Saturday mornings. Excellent schools, an amazing Park system and ability to live your life car free if desired. Ranked "the most educated town in America" Davis has the highest concentration of PhDs anywhere in the United States. Just 15 minutes away, Midtown Sacramento is home to a burgeoning Art, Food, Beer and Music Scenes. Midtown Sacramento is full of Victorian Architecture and hosts more trees per City Block than almost any City in the World. Second only to Paris. With San Francisco just an hour away, Lake Tahoe only Two hours, the Napa Valley just 40 minutes and Lake Berryessa 15 minutes away, the ability to easily get away for a weekend of museums, skiing, wine tasting or outdoor recreations is unprecedented.
I loved the mix of a small-town feel with a giant, world-class university. We have a "real" downtown with coffee shops, bars, restaurants, book stores, and lots of parks -- parks and greenbelts are a big thing in Davis. We have one of the best Farmer's Markets in California.
I love the highly-educated populace -- Davis is one of the most "educated" (at least in terms of book-learnin' and degrees) towns in entire country.
The one thing Davis lacks is great restaurants. Being a college town, we've got pizza, Chinese, Thai, burgers, and beer in abundance! But in terms of great sit-down restaurants, not so much.
