Joe's Neighborhood Tour of Davis: North Davis - 02/26/08 01:15 AM

The most salient feature of Davis neighborhoods is how interconnected they are. The Davis planning department excels at weaving our greenbelts, or emerald necklace (to borrow a term from Cleveland, Ohio) throughout the distinct neighborhoods, making access by bike, foot, skateboard, scooter and in-line skates (my preference) a breeze. The core area (downtown) has no greenbelts … (2 comments)

Joe's Neighborhood Tour of Davis: East Davis - 02/26/08 01:13 AM

EAST DAVIS
North, West and South Davis are clearly delineated from Central Davis by Covell Blvd., Highway 113 and I-80, respectively. For East Davis, no well-defined boundary exists. However, L St. is as good a candidate as any. East Davis follows a growth pattern typical of many city neighborhoods with older sections closer to the … (0 comments)

Davis CA January 2008 stats - 02/23/08 07:42 PM

Only 10 sold residential properties in Davis in January 2008. Considering that there are roughly 200 agents who are members of the MetroList MLS in Davis, it was a rather bleak month for agents. Keep in mind that these properties represent closed escrows, not new pending sales, and so the stats best reflect the … (0 comments)

Cannery Park neighborhood proposal - 02/23/08 07:39 PM

I'd especially like to hear from fellow Davisites on this issue. Are you in favor, or opposed? Why? No doubt about it - the location is superb. Unlike the much larger, and much discussed Covell Village neighborhood which was shot down by voters, this planned community proposed by Lewis Homes lies within the … (1 comments)

Davis, CA Nerd Power - 02/23/08 07:36 PM
