Off-Campus Housing Resources
This is a post which has several links to different places where one could find potential off-campus housing. Typically, off-campus housing is organized through facebook, but there are also other links to other resources.
Facebook Groups: Note: Some groups are private will require you to apply for access, which is typically given if one is a student of UC Davis

Here are the links to UC Davis housing information on Graduate housing and Family housing

There is also a UCD International Center managed mailing list service that does a good job of advertising community links for housing, sales and renting. This is a weekly service and allows links only from UCD affiliated students, staff, etc, and recognized Davis individuals. This is a good resource for finding housing for rent, cars for sale, used furniture, etc. People need to subscribe with UCD email.
