Casitas

"Casitas is a great place to live all in all--maintenance was always quick, the leasing office was always kind and helpful, and the area is great. The units are kind of rundown, but it's nothing terrible. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend living here less than one year, as they may take a lot out of your security deposit because the lease states that they can. We cleaned our unit well and trust me when I say there was no need for more paint on the walls, but we still got charged for cleaning and painting. So, in the end, a good place to live if you're looking for somewhere longer than a year."

"I've lived at several apartments throughout my time in Davis, but Casitas Apartments comes out on top in virtually every aspect. The location is conveniently located close to several Unitrans bus lines and Anderson Plaza, so it is no problem to get around town. The management is punctual and friendly, maintenance is professionally done, and the units are very well-kept. The rent is very reasonable considering the quality of the apartment and location, so I would definitely recommend this place to anybody else looking for housing!"

"Casitas was one of the few places in Davis that offered a short-term fall quarter lease, which I badly needed. Management was very responsive and courteous when I was signing up for a unit. The apartment also had plenty of nice amenities, like a pool and hot tub, laundry room (although they also rent out in-unit washers and dryers), and printing services. Personally I was glad to use the hot tub, since the one at my previous apartment was closed for a long time due to COVID. The actual unit itself was really nice, and maintenance was very quick to respond. One minor complaint I do have is that I can hear people talking loudly at night outside sometimes, probably at the parking area. I guess that's outside the apartment's control. One of my roommates also noted that the freezer in our apartment wasn't cold enough to keep his ice cream frozen. I also got my full deposit back (both the base and the pet deposit), which was a pleasant surprise. Both the apartments I lived in at Davis happened to be managed by Tandem Properties, and I highly recommend getting a lease with them."

"Nice staff, great setting with being close to stores and the green belt."

"I've rented from Casitas & Chautauqua for the last fifteen years in three different locations (one-bedroom flat, townhouse, and duplex flat). Although rental costs are high in this part of North Davis, what keeps me here are the great variety of floor plans to choose from, amenities, and excellent management. Specifically: 1. Private covered parking for duplexes 2. Large yards and living spaces 3. Ceiling fans 4. Indoor washer/dryer hookups 5. Updated appliances 6. Management are prompt to respond to questions. 7. Maintenance is both friendly and resolves issues quickly, including emergency service after hours and on weekend for things like water heater leaks and A/C failure. There are also numerous community events throughout the year (pandemic notwithstanding), as well as finals breakfast - great for students."
