Everything here is built around your daily loop between practice at Hickey Gymnasium (350 Howard Way) and game days a few hundred yards south at UC Davis Health Stadium. In a compact college town, your home, recovery, and dining are all within a 10-minute drive of the facility, so you can train, recover, and reset without ever fighting traffic.
The default pick: walk or bike to campus, Hickey Gym, dining and the farmers market, with teammates and value-priced apartments all around you.
A go-to athlete rental belt with big amenity-rich complexes, easy I-80 access, and a quick straight shot to practice, where lots of teammates land.
A calmer step up from the student core with townhomes, greenbelts and Nugget Market close by, still an easy bike or drive to the facility.
Modern energy-efficient rentals with bike paths and an urban farm, a self-contained newer community away from the busiest student blocks.
The premium choice for bigger NIL money: spacious newer rental homes on quiet golf-course streets with greenbelt trails and real privacy, still 10 minutes to practice.
