The Colleges at La Rue Apartments

Not sure where to begin with how great Colleges at La Rue is, but the bottom line is this is THE BEST apartments in Davis for any student. I've lived in West Village previously, which many people seem to think is the highest in Davis, but really it doesn't even compare in terms of friendly service, location, space, and value. The staff here goes WAY beyond just doing their job. Everyone I've interacted with here from the director, front desk, maintenance, all were extremely friendly and helpful, something that unfortunately is very hard to find in a lot of apartments. For the price I am paying here, I would have had about half the space at West Village and I still would have had to pay extra for parking and bike a much farther distance everyday. Here, whenever there is an issue (which is almost never), I know its addressed very quickly. Even when there isn't an issue, maintenance always make the place better, even shampooing our carpets without request. Everyone who comes to our apartment is jealous of our place, you really can't find places like this at this value in Davis. It's no surprise people try so hard to get an allocation at the Colleges, so if you have the chance to live here, do not hesitate to take it!

I feel compelled to review because not only is the physical apartment great (location, spacious rooms, amenities, etc), the management is amazing. In a college town you get a lot of apartment complexes that could care less about their residents, but the Colleges at La Rue is not one of them. The management here is on it, they’re responsive and friendly. We’ve had an ongoing AC issue that they have addressed promptly with the utmost care; no AC in Davis could be brutal but they’ve offered us fans and AC units, and done everything in their power to us perfectly comfortable while addressing the issue. I will recommend the Colleges at La Rue to any student looking for housing, they rock!!!

Management here doesn't seem to take noise complaints seriously. The walls are so thin that you can hear your upstairs neighbor walking, dropping a utensil, snoring, opening and closing doors. Is there any ounce of insulation? Dampening? I doubt it. Noises from the kitchen to neighboring rooms echo. They do not enforce the quiet hours as parties are thrown and go on till 2-3AM. The only resort is to call the non-emergency police line. I suppose you get what you pay for here. I do not recommend staying here or paying a single penny if you like sleeping.

Great management. Relatively new complex and best part is being so close to the campus. It can get loud on the weekends. There are many study rooms around for tenants to use. Parking is usually available. Everyone is a student here for the most part.

Loved this complex when I lived here! Relatively modern, spacious and very close to campus(depending on which unit you lived in) Employees are nice and helpful. Staff seems to be pretty organized. There are study areas and laundry rooms. Loved the flooring and high ceilings(on second floor units) really helps keep the space cool on hot days.
