Village Homes is located on the west side of
the City of Davis, adjacent to University property and other residential neighborhoods.
The directions below are to the commercial cluster which includes Restaurant
Fasulo, the VH Management office, and the Plumshire Building. Several walking
and bike paths intersect at this location, so it's a good starting point for
a self-guided walking or biking tour of Village Homes.
Bicycle directions from downtown Davis or the UC campus:
- starting on the east side of campus or in downtown Davis on 3rd street
- take North Quad street west
- when you cross California Avenue, take any of the paths which go to the
west or northwest
- when you cross LaRue, look for Orchard Road (it is across from the Segundo
Commons and Visitor Parking lot 25)
- (if you get lost on campus, can't find Orchard Road, etc., just take any
street north and then take Russell going west...you'll get to Village Homes,
it just isn't as pleasant as going through campus)
- take Orchard Road west, it will get smaller and smaller and eventually
turn into Orchard Park Drive
- cross over the 113 freeway on the pedestrian/bike bridge
- follow the bike path alongside the research fields
- the bike path will eventually run alongside Russell Boulevard
- cross Russell Boulevard at Portage Bay East (there is a bike crosswalk)
- turn right into the parking lot (you will see the Village Homes sign)
