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.

We had a great experience touring apartments with Cole. He showed us several units at both…read moreCreekside Meadows and Alpine Woods and he was wonderful to work with the entire time. Cole was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through each apartment and answered all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. We really appreciated how thorough and genuine he was, and it was clear he genuinely wanted to help us find the right fit. If you're touring at Creekside Meadows or Alpine Woods, definitely ask for Cole and you will be in great hands. Thanks again Cole for all of your help. We will be back and ask for you when we are ready to make the move!

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. There are an assortment of units and a very nice, capable on-site property manager. I am so over the beach scene and really want to try living out in the great outdoors, away from planes and urban decay all around me. It's time to get back to nature. 5 YELP STARS for this very nice property.

Dirty as in the hallways are disgusting, the parkway is nasty, the area by the dumpsters is disgusting. The hallways smell like wet dog. The laundry room makes me not want to wash my clothes there (which I don't) because the tenants don't bother to clean up after themselves. Both managers that have been here don't care about keeping this place clean. The girl now expects the maintenance man to do everything for her. It's sad that this complex is new and they dont care to keep it nice. There are always tenant smoking outside where kids play. The doors slam so hard you can hear it in the units around. I got new neighbors and there come in and out so much at night after 10pm and I am always hearing their door slam so hard at night. The fact that there are no assigned parking is terrible. they let single cars park in the double spaced parking spaces.

I told the office and they have done nothing to ensure safety for all of the children who live here in the future and have ignored my emails for an update. They did at least tell my downstairs neighbors to stop banging on the ceiling every time my kids made a little bit of noise. The apartment is run down and literally coming apart at the seams around the doorways, and there are regular plumbing issues, etc, yet they still charge $2,000 for a one bedroom. When I reached out for help with a plumbing issue, they took about two minutes and nothing was resolved. Certainly will not be renewing the lease.

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!

We as tenants should not be displaced and inconvenienced while you try to polish your turd of a 'community'.

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.
