Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
El Macero Estates reads as the Davis-side companion to the El Macero name, a smaller residential enclave near the southeast edge of town by the El Macero shopping center and Mace Boulevard. The branding borrows the polish of the country-club community next door. In practice it is a quiet, low-traffic pocket of established single-family homes on generous lots, with the El Macero shopping center handling close-in groceries and the Mace corridor providing the route in and out. South Davis parks and greenbelt segments are a short hop. The thing to verify for yourself is which side of the city line a given address falls on, since the El Macero name spans both the unincorporated community and nearby Davis subdivisions. The feel, though, is consistently calm and residential.
