Sol at West Village

I've had the pleasure of living at Sol at West Village for several years. First as an undergrad during the pandemic, and now as a grad student, and I truly can't imagine a better place to call home.

The amenities are top-notch, from the beautiful pool areas and modern fitness center to the study lounges that have been a lifesaver during finals season. The community activities and events make it so easy to connect with neighbors and feel part of a vibrant, welcoming environment. Plus, you just... can't beat the location, close enough to campus to make commuting a breeze, but still peaceful and tucked away.

Since the new management team took over, things have gotten even better. They are doing an extraordinary job creating a true sense of community, going above and beyond to make students feel supported, welcomed, and right at home. Every interaction I've had with them has been positive, professional, and genuinely caring.

Sol at West Village isn’t just an apartment complex - it’s a community, and I highly recommend it. Read More

Sol really catfishes you. Management is terrible. They are not absentee landlords, but they are pretty close to that. Maintenance takes days if not weeks to get to anything you ask, and the office is closed many weekdays. When it is open the hours are limited and the staff are not super competent. You get excited about luxurious looking amenities and apartments, but even that is not guaranteed. Many nights the pool would not be heated and the hot tubs would be closed. In regards to leasing, the... moving out conditions are very harsh, and they nickel and dime you majorly for the security deposit. Its really not a fun process living at Sol. For nearly half the year the wifi in the Solstice apartments was spotty at best. The wifi in the study rooms was just as spotty. After months of complaints from residents and scrambling to move places so I could do assignments with working wifi, the management added only slightly less spotty wifi. Trash would end up blowing around all over the parking lot, making the place look more like a landfill than luxury student apartments. Message to Sol Mangement: Get the trash in order. Dumpsters would always be overflowing and it would often attract roaches which was a pleasant surprise when living at such an expensive place. Landlords have a duty to fill to their client, and for the prices sol charges, they really do not fulfull their duties. If I were looking for housing, I would keep on looking, and save some money somewhere better. Read More

Management is awful, maintenance takes 3-4 weeks to respond to anything, wifi is NEVER WORKING. LITERALLY NEVER. Huge waste of money!!!

So you are paying $1,000+ surely the internet would work right? Wrong! The wifi has been down for 3 days straight and what’s worse, it’s not the first time! Even worse they don’t tell us why or when it will be fixed. Ethernet connections don’t work, it’s so bad people buy their own WIFI!! If you plan on being a student… which is 100% of everyone here…DONT come here. Also bad customer service, lost mail, keys don’t work. Moving in everything was disgustingly dirty.

the rent is $200 more expensive than most of my friends' places all over Davis, but the gym and pool amenities you pay premium for are badly maintained and used by non residents who take your spot. takeout, Amazon packages and locked bikes are stolen from your doorstep all the time, and trespassers making noise past midnight every week rarely face consequences from cops, while ineffective leaf blowers grass mowers blow your roof up 7am the next morning 100%. staff are unresponsive, apathetic and... arrogant like you owe them half year salary, but expect them to work hard to withhold every last penny from your $2000 deposit. it's so west you would think you lived in Oakland's crime center Read More
