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. We recently had a leasing agreement issue between my housemates, something that didn't involve the leasing staff, yet they still took action to help us come to solution, and I really appreciate them for making our housing experience worry-free. 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 highly recommend the 4x4 townhouse floor-plan, the high ceilings and large kitchen with island are great! I rented from fall 2019 through fall 2019. ...
