Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Old Willowbank sits at the south edge of Davis near the Willowbank area, a quieter, semi-rural pocket where lots run larger and the feel shifts away from the tight grids of the rest of town. It carries the older, more countrified character that the 'Old' in the name implies. This is South Davis at its most relaxed: bigger parcels, mature trees, and proximity to the Putah Creek corridor and the greenbelt paths that trace the southern edge of the city. Errands lean on the South Davis shopping strip and a short hop to I-80. The honest read is that space comes at the cost of walkable convenience here, this is a drive-to-everything part of town, and some parcels sit near the unincorporated county fringe. For buyers who want elbow room near Davis, that trade is the appeal.
