The place is indeed a nice place, visually. amenities and general look of the place are pleasing and plentiful. but that's where all the good things end. Management is incredibly poor. getting service online is a chore, and is incredibly delayed. if you want any kind of work done on your unit, you HAVE to go into the office. Generally, you need to make a big fuss to get anything done. Truly, this doesn't inspire confidence in a college student.

I lived here for three years, but it is honestly not worth it. The rent is overpriced for what the place offers. The upper management is awful with their response time and service. The amenities however are pretty good, but have short hours. The bus stops are close but are always crowded to the brim. If the management was better I might consider living another year.

Horrible treatment of residents. Don't listen to their advertising, they will lie to make themselves look good. Promised good, fast, stable internet, yet when we moved in it was horrible. When complaining about the issue they constantly lied about when it would be fixed and also claim since it was a free "amenity" they do not have to provide us with anything. Those at the front desk are unhelpful at best but at worst manipulate and lie to you. I was still getting a previous residents mail and tried to give it to the front desk, however they told me to throw it away (which I believe is a crime)

The rent is $200 more expensive than most of my friends' places all over Davis, but the gym and pool amenities you pay premium for are badly maintained and used by non residents who take your spot. takeout, Amazon packages and locked bikes are stolen from your doorstep all the time, and trespassers making noise past midnight every week rarely face consequences from cops, while ineffective leaf blowers grass mowers blow your roof up 7am the next morning 100%. staff are unresponsive, apathetic and arrogant like you owe them half year salary, but expect them to work hard to withhold every last penny

Honestly, after the fall quarter, everything is changed!
Every simple single maintenance takes too long to be done! I asked for changing the thermostat’s battery, and it takes 1.5 months to be replaced!
But my main complaint is about the INTERNET!!!!!
Today is the 21th day that my internet is down! During these days I had to stay, up to 10-11 pm on the campus to submit my homework and do my research! Me as a Ph.D. student and graduate student researcher suffered a lot because of the internet connection problem! I could not even open a single page!!
This problem affects not only my academic

Appliances were broken when I moved in (the microwave is still broken 3+ weeks after requesting it be fixed), the trash is always overflowing, the wifi is slow but usually it just doesn't work at all. Redeeming qualities: rooms are nice and large and the hot tub is nice. Over all probably not worth the cost. :(

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Living here has been nothing but a headache there was mold in the apartment to which I sent in a maintenance request multiple times and no one showed up. The window in my room is not installed properly and there is a huge gap exposing the outside and making my room extremely cold at night. On move in day I needed to Mop the floors 4 times and the water was still dirty and dust all windows because and cabinets because or think dust buildup, vacuumed my room 3 times before seeing any results in the vacuum container. Most importantly my apartment is infest

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME MOVING HERE.... We moved in and have had nothing but problems. The apartment was extremely dirty. Also the vents are black so they have never been cleaned. The floor was black and hair everywhere, like others have posted. I really wish we would have seen these reviews before we moved in. The management is so good at lying they should actually become actors so they can get awards since they sold us on all the things the apartment offered. Nothing they have mentioned was true.
Our boxes go to the office and they only have like 2 hours in a day where you can pick

Absolutely disgusting. The move-in process took about 3 hours as they only had 2-3 checking in hundreds, possibly thousands, of students and their families. Then, when I got to my apartment, it was incredibly dirty, the blinds were dirty, all the tables were dirty, and especially the floors were absolutely disgusting as you can see in the picture attached.
The WiFi is also shockingly terrible, it's difficult to do anything from homework and watching lectures to watching Netflix at the end of a long day.
Sol is not worth the problems it comes with . DO NOT LIVE HERE YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Parents beware! We moved our son into the Sol apartments in Davis. The sink didn't work. Ok no big deal right? 10 phone calls where the phone rolls to an answering service and nobody ever calls us back 2 formal work orders and a personal visit to the office and still water all over the floor. The manager and the property manager wont even get on the phone with me. I think if i stopped paying rent somebody might call me back. This place is a dump and the staff ate just kids with no authority or problem solving skills.

This is one of the worst places to live in! The staff is so unresponsive and downright rude.. due to the health issues os a family member I needed to terminate the agreement only a couple of days after I signed the lease.. I hadnt even moves in then and immediately approached the office to enquire as to how to terminate.. for one whole week they avoided me and didnt even bother to respond to my numerous emails and calls. In addition to that when I visited their office a staff member actually lied to me and told me he would take care of the termination from him end and has already made that request

Unprofessional and unreliable. They've removed any direct contact to the front desk and you're only able to reach an outsourcing call center that leaves messages to the front desk. I have been calling them for the past three weeks and have contacted them through social media and emails and haven't received a single response. They don't even let you contact them directly anymore. I was a resident for three years and have only witnessed this place deteriorate. If you want to save your security deposit and mental health, don't live here.

My experience in living here was awful. The floors and furniture were damaged upon arrival and maintenance was constantly needed. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I got billed to pay for all the damage I didn’t do to the apartment and when trying to work with management, they told me not to worry and then still billed me. Then when I tried to contact people after this, they never got back to me. All they care about is taking your rent money. Do yourself a favor and live literally anywhere else in Davis other than this place.

I lived here for three years and the overall experience was great. The apartment is close to the school and there are many bus stops in the community. It is fully furnished and the maintenance service is good. (average 2-3 wait days for non-emergency situation). Utilities are included in the rent so you don’t need to pay extra. The disadvantage is that there is no controlled entrance for the community so there existed theft and burglary sometimes.

USE THIS PLACE AS YOUR LAST RESORT!
I waited after an entire year staying at west village to write this review and I moved in during the pandemic in 2020.
My three roommates and I chose west village for the convenience of being close to campus and what seemed like a cool community. We signed our contract a month before the pandemic/shut down happened so we weren't able to cancel our contract. We chose the solstice apartments because we were told they had a balcony area(which we thought if we signed early that we would be prioritized and allowed a few choices of which units were available

If I could rate 0 stars I would. I should of listened to the previous reviews, this place is a joke. Will be moving on the 15th and I'm already extremely dissapppointed. Staff is NOT transparent about policies or leasing rules. I was told I can easily upgrade to an individual room by an employee in the leasing office. And now they're telling me I am not allowed to do so without having to go through the hassle of finding someone to take over my rent for a double.
I asked for an accommodation considering I was given misleading information but they did not help nor really cared about my

I hated WV. Very happy my lease is over. When we first moved in the whole place was a mess. Pubes in all drawers. It looked like the fridge was punched by someone many times. The oven didn't work. Our fire alarms didn't work either. It's absolutely expensive here for no reason. Who charges almost 800+ rent FOR A SHARED ROOM and charges $50 for a parking permit. Freaking ridiculous. The office sucks at responding to your needs such as maintenance. DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!

After 3 months living in Sol at west village , now I can share my experience in detail.
The maintenance is perfect. It's available 24/7.
And the staff are awesome, and kindly answered any questions.
However there are some concerns.
Let's to begin with mail boxes!!
I was notified bu USPS seven times that I should expect mail! But 3 of them are received :( .
Furthermore, it is about the bike theft and safety of property! My bike was stolen after one week that I bought it, however it was locked by two locks! Those locks were broken and the bike was gone!

Now this might be because I went through UC Davis but don't go here.
First off, they have roaches. Even after maintenance is called they still pop up. I keep a clean living space too, mama didn't raise a dirty child.
Second, they don't allow students online portals to pay for parking. You have to use checks. Might not seem like a lot but it gets to be a hassle sometimes.
Lastly, they screwed me over. I turned in my keys early, and even paid for another parking permit monthly payment for some reason. Didn't tell UCD I turned in my keys and I have to pay the school for returned

This was the biggest mistake of my life. I regret ever choosing to live here. This place is terrible. It looks great on the outside but it's a lie. All that glitters is certainly not gold. The inside is a crappy davis apartment that is way overpriced. The apartments are poor quality and cheaply produced. The management is even worst. They can't get anything done. They let issues run rampant with no disregard. STAY AWAY!!!

Workers would come into the apartment to do maintenance without masks on. Moved out over a month ago and they took money out of my deposit for "missing keys" that I definitely returned and had someone at the front check off that I had returned them. I have been calling and emailing for weeks to get money that they took without reason and still have yet to hear back from someone. Maybe Id consider giving them a better review if they would answer my emails about my security deposit.
