Davis is built around UC Davis, and that shapes the housing more than anything else. The Downtown Core and the University Avenue area near campus hold the city's older homes. Further out, Mace Ranch and North Davis Farms are newer family neighborhoods with more standard subdivision layouts. Village Homes sits apart from both, with its original green-design plan that does not look or work like the streets around it.
Two things make Davis different from most of the cities we serve:
- A large share of near-campus housing changes hands on the university's academic calendar, not on a normal residential schedule, so bookings bunch up around the start and end of the school year.
- Agricultural fields ring the city, and they add their own seasonal dust and pollen to the dry-season valley dust the whole region gets.
- The age gap between older near-campus homes and newer subdivisions means two houses a few miles apart can need quite different amounts of work.
For indoor cleaning, the field dust shows up first on sills, window tracks and vents. Outdoors it settles on driveways, patios and in gutters, and in Village Homes the mature landscaping adds leaf debris on top.
Getting here is straightforward. Our crews come from Sacramento across the Yolo Causeway on I-80, a drive of about 15 minutes, and every address in ZIP 95616 is part of the regular service area.
