Living in Davis makes it easy to maintain a healthy balance between family and school. There are plenty of activities to keep my wife and son busy and happy. We frequently meet in the park in downtown Davis, just a short bike ride from campus. Although Davis is well known as a college town, it is also very much built for families.
