1. I just want to give the willows a OUTSTANDING review because the amount of dedication and way they treated my family was out of this world !
   I have never been so impressed by so many different people that greeted me and went out of their way to make sure things were fixed in a timely manner when my ac broke and I was made to feel comfortable and not like I was a burden when I was inquiring about the timeline of said repair to my ac unit . I see the ladies from the office going above and beyond and the way the maintenance workers were so quick to provide a solution and communicate with me and update me is not seen very often. So I APPLAUD 👏 EVERYONE AT THE WILLOWS AND EXPRESS MY DEEPEST GRATITUDE 🙏

2. While the apartment complex presents a decent exterior, appearances can be very misleading.The apartments are very outdated in terms of structure and fixtures:

   1.Windows are neither soundproof nor windproof, paper-thin, and are challenging to open.
   2.Outdated appliances with limited functionality that tend to be very noisy.
   3.Thin walls allow noise from neighbors both upstairs and outside.
   4.External air conditioning units generate significant noise, especially when multiple units operate simultaneously, disrupting sleep and everyday activities.
   5.Persistent ant issues due to unseen gaps in the walls; we learned they often reside within the walls.
   6.Aging cabinets were dirty, sticky and visibly worn when we moved in.
   7.Frequent issues with washing machines being out of service, coupled with their subpar cleaning performance, makes laundry day always a hassle.

   The only commendable aspect of this complex is its maintenance team. They’re prompt, professional, and skilled, although their workload could be significantly reduced if the units were in better conditions.

   Upon moving in, we found many areas that were superficially cleaned but were extremely dirty upon closer inspection. It took us days to clean everything again so that we don’t feel grossed out all the time. However, despite thorough cleaning when moving out, we were still charged the full cleaning fees.

   Last but certainly not the least, our rent was increased annually during our two-year stay with no updates nor improvements done to the unit whatsoever. The only reason apartments like this are still in business while being able to charge exorbitant rent and fees is because of the monopolistic housing market in Davis. It’s a shame how much one has to pay for conditions apartment like this has to offer.

3. I have been here for about three years now and do enjoy living here.
   Pros:
   amazing maintenance
   Quiet but there is the very rare party
   Great scenery

   Cons:
   Management lose files despite resending them twice.
   Despite being a VERY expensive apartment, you have to wait to use the washers and dryers frequently due to them being limited and in two small buildings
   The apartments are up to date to an extent. You can tell by the appliances that this complex has been here for a while.

   Would I recommend living here? Yes but the price is a tad too much considering above. There is other apartments that are very up to date for the same price. Where you can do your laundry without lugging it from your apartment to another building and then wait in the line. Btw the maintenance team was the best part of this place. They are too amazing and kind.

4. The Willows is a fantastic place to live. It is peaceful as it is near the farms and has a beautiful environment. The maintenance is excellent here, led by Sam. Sam and Casey, the maintenance group, are very hardworking and have quick and efficient service. If Sam and Cessey were not here, then this place would come to a stop! These guys do a great job of keeping the whole place together under the smart action and follow up of the Office staff and specially Manager Mrs. Angelina.
   We are proud of them have them here in this compound.
   Regards and stay safe.

5. I have lived in 3 different apartment complexes (in Davis/Woodland region) over the last 5 years and life at Willows has been the best experience. I can definitely say that it is my favorite place in my last 10 years in the US. When I first moved in, I lived in their model unit and later moved to a regular 2BR unit.

   Excellent management: The entire team goes above and beyond to address any requests. Every single time I went to them, I have walked out of the office as a happy person. I am moving out of Willows next week and the management was also very helpful with the subleasing process.

   Commute to campus: Well connected by P and Q lines. D and K lines are about 6-7 min walk from Willows.

   Shopping: For any quick needs, K-circle is just across the road. They never say NO to give quarters for laundry.

   Gym/Laundry/Parking: Gym is small but is open 24 hours. Laundry is also open 24 hours. It is busy in weekends. Parking is free and there are no reserved spots.

   Pleasant surroundings: Lot of green spaces within the complex. Also, very pleasant to go for a run along the adjacent farms. As a Willows resident, one can also avail membership for the Stone Gate Club for a 10$ fee (per month).
