Rose Creek is a small, tight-knit neighborhood favored by families, professionals, and dog owners. It offers moderate home pricing compared to other parts of Davis, high mobility via walking and biking, and access to Davis’s greenbelt system.

  • The neighborhood is approximately 0.045 square miles in size, with a population of around 1,823 residents.
  • Housing is a mix of single-family homes, duplexes, and small condominiums and townhomes, with the majority built in the early 1990s.
  • The owner-occupied rate is 54%, with 46% of the residents renting their homes.
  • The median home price is approximately $ 767,000. Some of the low-income housing is located in this area. Therefore, whenever one of these homes is sold (at a significantly lower price than regular homes in Davis), the median price during that time drops below normal. Low-income home prices should be excluded from the area comps to see a realistic representation of the area’s prices.
  • Homes are moderately sized, well-maintained single-family residences, reflecting affordability relative to the Davis market.
  • The neighborhood is directly linked to the Rose Creek Greenbelt, offering shaded paths and easy access to Playfields Park, Walnut Park, and Village Park.
  • Local amenities include parks, a nearby Cowell Blvd shopping center, and Montgomery Elementary School—all within walking distance.
  • The Bike Score is 91, which gives it a Biker’s Paradise title. Residents can easily accomplish daily errands by bike using connected greenbelt paths and nearby amenities.
