Not so great. Not enough establishments (stores, restaurants, markets, etc.), and driving is dangerous at night because it’s so dimly lit! Not enough going around compared to most college towns. Not enough parking spaces. Not enough diversity. In one word: Boring.

Davis was a great place to grow up! The town is full of parks, and you can ride your bike practically everywhere. The downtown is at the heart of Davis and has delicious restaurants, a handful of lively bars, art museums and a weekly farmers market. It is a very safe town full of friendly people that create a close knit community.
Cute college town, tons of local businesses. Very bike friendly, and quaint. Their farmers market is awesome, and everything downtown is easy to walk to. The college arboretum is beautiful and fun to walk through, you even might see an otter in the creek! There's not much going on late at night, a couple bars are open until 2am but not much else.
