Don't get me wrong, I love living here, but I just wish I could call about things that need to be fixed and etc without feeling like I'm some annoyance to the manager.

Thank you for the response. However, I need to clarify several key points for accuracy…read more I did not enter into or sign any lease renewal after my original lease ended in September 2025. Remaining in the unit does not constitute agreement to a new fixed-term lease, and I provided proper written notice to vacate on January 11, 2026, with a confirmed move-out date of February 10, 2026. Your response continues to reference a "holdover provision," but that does not override the requirement for a mutually executed lease agreement, which does not exist in this case. Under California Civil Code §1945, acceptance of rent after the expiration of a lease creates a month-to-month tenancy unless otherwise agreed in writing. No such written agreement exists here. Reframing a month-to-month tenancy as a fixed-term obligation after the fact is misleading. Additionally, I dispute the claim that a complete and compliant itemized statement was provided within the legally required timeframe. Under California Civil Code §1950.5(g), landlords are required to provide an itemized statement of deductions, along with supporting documentation, within 21 days of move-out. This requirement is strict, and failure to comply may forfeit the right to retain any portion of the security deposit. I have already requested documentation and noted inconsistencies in the ledgers provided, including duplicate and unclear charges. This matter is currently under formal dispute. I have requested supporting documentation for all charges, including the alleged "accelerated rent," which has not been substantiated with a signed agreement. I encourage prospective tenants to carefully review lease terms, renewal practices, and move-out accounting procedures before renting here.

I've lived here for almost a year now and it really has been a good experience. The manager, Karen…read moreis great and very understanding. She seems to be on top of things and let's the community know if something is going to be worked on since the complex was built in '71. Although the apartments are a bit older, these minor maintenance issues have not affected mine, nor my fiancé's, every day life. Karen also lives on the premises for any 24/7 maintenance concerns. The complex is quiet except for the afternoon children that play or the occasional barking of dogs. If you're not an understanding family/animal person then this isn't the place for you. The complex is very pet friendly and almost everyone has a cat or dog. I would defiantly choose Alpine Terrace Apartments if you're looking for a safer, cheaper, and more quiet environment!

I really like this place. Driving around Alpine recently, my friend and I stopped to check it out…read more Alpine Terrace is private, secluded and has a real mountain feel to it.

It's true what others have mentioned. I've been living here for about 2 years and moving out soon…read more It seems quiet at first but just wait till you are here a little longer. Water shut downs are frequent and they let you know at the last minute. The apartment doesn't look like the pictures. Paint is pealing and they painted over things that should've been fixed properly first. I keep finding trash in the backyard. I've witnessed arrests, people smoking cigarettes and weed in their home and right outside. Practically everyone here does one or the other. Just recently a family of 9 moved in with 2 dogs in apt 55. They have various cars and only 2 parking spaces. It's a lot of fun having to deal with them blocking cars and parking in the walking area. If I were you don't live anywhere near apt 55. Most of the males like to intimidate people and smoke weed. They are trying to be gangsters in Alpine lol. I've heard them say the N word (they aren't black) and talk about having a weapon on them. You can just imagine how much noise these people make all day. They are just in and out all day, yelling and roaming around the parking lot. Forget the parents they act like teenagers themselves. How are so many people allowed to live in a 2 bd apt? An apartment caught on fire early in the morning last year and when the police arrived they knew the tenant by name. He's a known drug user and occasionally gets arrested. I've witnessed 3 arrests in less than 2 years. I thought Alpine would be different from the city. The rent increased more than $200 for not renewing the lease so they obviously want you stuck here with a lease. Make sure to check every statement every month. We didn't have window screens in both bedrooms and it took 6 months to have them installed! It was a very difficult summer without being able to open the window or sliding door. They send text messages non stop on people leaving laundry too long, blocking cars, parking in someone's space etc. It's very annoying. They threaten to tow cars all the time, I've yet to see them do it. There isn't much common sense around here. Good luck having neighbors that are respectful. Way too many tenants have dogs and no yards. I can hear dogs crying all day long through the walls. If you don't have a dog, this place will be even worse for you. There's dog poop everywhere and people who let their dogs run around off leash. Don't live near any of their 3 small dog parks! People use them between 12am-4am. I hear people talking and their dogs barking. Not fun when you have work or school in the morning. Don't get me started with parking. They just started a new parking system where you have to pay annually for the permit. I've had multiple people use my parking space while I'm gone and I have to honk to get them to move. People still are parking wherever they want. Too many people have various cars and don't want to pay for another spot. They'll store cars in the visitor parking. Supposedly you need a visitor permit and can only park for 7 days there, not true. Actually, there's a lot of "rules" that many tenants don't follow since they aren't enforced. You'll be lucky if you ever find a spot there for your visitor. I've caught tenants trying to look inside my windows so I got cameras. Racism is alive and active here as well. I'm not white so I've definitely have dealt with racism in the area. There was a recent earthquake nearby in Julian, a 5.1. I actually thought it was the tenant upstairs with the usual noise and running around. That's how bad it gets. Mind you it's only one adult male upstairs that likes to drink and bang on stuff all day. When you speak to management they'll just give you typical responses every time with no change. The few tenants who actually do follow rules feel the same but people tend to not speak up. You should feel comfortable and safe where you live and not have to be on alert. Always check all charges, I've been over charged before. My friend who just moved said there was a huge error on her move-out statement. They were charging her 12 extra months for the life of the carpet and paint. Just a few days ago, the Feds were here in unmarked vehicles, wearing bullet proof vests, and blocked the entrance/exit. Good luck if you had somewhere to go. Renew summit should be your last resort if that!

My husband and I agreed not to because we did not want to sign a whole new year lease when we were already almost up with ours. When future problems arose office manager Mark held it over my head. - Mark also tried to accuse my husband of being an "aggressive towards me" in a completely inappropriate, slap in the face comment which is untrue and uncalled for. - trash cans are always overflowing with dog poop bags or there's dog poop covering the entire grass - Mark did not allow a decorative welcome sign outside our door because it "blocks walkways" while most neighbors have bikes, couches, motorcycles, plants, benches, shoes, toys, in the same space I had my welcome sign - my last conversation with Mark he asked if we are new at renting as an excuse for our laundry getting stolen - the day before we are moving out we have a sewage smell and green water coming up our bathtub and had to spend half the day waiting for a plumber I would give zero stars if I could. I have never felt more harassed, unheard, and disgusted and NO we are NOT new at renting

We as tenants should not be displaced and inconvenienced while you try to polish your turd of a 'community'. Constantly had construction workers parking in our spots In the day while rude tenants or guests parked in them at night. We pay extra for our spots. They have no company to tow, if someone does park in your spot. So why would they stop doing it. They get away with it. While we have to park on the streets. Oooh don't worry they will send an email asking you to not park in the spots. . That will stop them. They are raising the parking spot prices. I just suggest you wait until after office hours and just park wherever you want. Everyone else does. We live near the park and these kids are complete A holes. If only their parents knew. They smoke and trash the park and scream words I have never heard from children. This place is literally the trailer park of Alpine. Cops here constantly. People screaming at neighbors.
