    "People in the area walk their dogs on the sidewalks and seem welcome. Due to the large number of apartments in the area dog ownership skews heavily towards the smaller side it seems."

    "I grew up in what is now called Central Davis. (Born 1967, graduated Davis High 1985, graduated UCD 1989 and moved to Bay Area). It was an idealic childhood. I walked to Elementary school and biked to Intermediate, Junior High, and High School. We knew all our neighbors on the cul-de saq our house was on. Yes, where ever there were rentals to college students there were issues - parties, noise, messy houses - but if you get a house on a street with out college studends, it was/is an awesome community. My parents lived there until just this year. Same house - and had many of the same neighbor/friends for 40+ years."
