Alpine Apartments

My fiancé started renting here because it was cheap, and we definitely got what we paid for. It was fine for a while, but then they changed management and things really went downhill from there. Maintenance requests became sluggish, and when they decided to show up to make repairs, it was half-hearted and most times they didn't even fix the problem they just covered it up and called it a day. The main grounds, the best part of Alpine by far, started to suffer as the staff stopped maintaining... leading to trash and dangerous pile ups of ice during winter. When they tried to raise our rent by an outrageous amount for, "market price" reasons, we decided to leave this place, but even that was botched by the Alpine staff. They lost our notice to vacate letter that we had submitted twice, and despite all the proof we had, forced us to pay the next month's rent.

This place is not worth the cheap month to month in any regard. We were diligent in all of our years renting and never missed a rent payment, and it got us nothing but an undeserved bill in the end. Read More

Do not rent here. Office staff are friendly and mean well but are ineffective when it comes to dealing with issues on property. Negligent property management causes lack of safety/cleanliness:
1. Biohazard: sewage backup in building August 2021; untended for at least a week, came home one day at lunch to see sewage cleaning can (confirming my suspicions), when I confronted management about it they straight up lied, claiming there was no backup until I pointed out the cleaning van. Didn’t notify... tenants in building despite horrible smell.
2. No oversight: security threats, trash, parking violations, etc. go untended here UNLESS you’re in their way when paving the parking lot. Saw them tow their own tenants the weekend I moved in. Someone/something defecates in the stairwell of my building and the issue persists.
3. Entering without permission: August, maintenance entered when nobody was home to put shelf in after I specifically requested they call beforehand.
4. Rarely can reach management by phone or email.
5. Lack of security/response to threats: late 9/25 neighbor/individual fired a gun in the building, police were called but no tenants were notified; late 9/27, someone tried to break into my building, broke secured glass door with fists, blood in fist holes and on wall, management let glass and blood sit in lobby until late afternoon 9/26; did not notify tenants because they claimed it was an “ongoing investigation” (couldn’t even tell us the door was broken- okay), didn’t clean either.
6. Inefficient apartments: apartments are clean but out of date, also seems to be a heating problem because my place was constantly 85 degrees inside. Living room windows don’t open.

When I asked about these incidents specifically management claimed they couldn’t just contact every tenant in the building. Makes no sense to me. I understand you can’t control people but you can be more proactive or reactive to issues that persist or occur on the property. I’ve already made my complaints known but I’m posting them here too for other people looking at this place.

Overall DO NOT RENT HERE. Read More

I searched Anchorage extensively for 6 months always ending back at Alpine as cleaner, nicer, price etc.
People will always be problematic. It's the manner in which its handled that matters. The management at Alpine is top notch! If you are looking for a place to deal drugs or party, not your place. Cameras, security ??. If you are looking for a maintained property to LIVE and prosper in then Alpine is your oasis ??..
That's just my opinion

Thank you Alpine

I needed a two month all inclusive rental for medical reasons. What I got was near constant late notices and an extra 5 days of rent. Paid rent in full on the 1st per website. A late notice posted on my door days later. They screwed up the $500 deposit. Next month argument as to my two-month rental became two months and 5 days $270.00 ripoff. All the while working with upper management, not the on-site management. They charge a late fee on the 2nd! Came back to another nasty late notice.... Always nice to come home from NICU to late notices posted on my door even thou I had already paid and worked out that they ripped me off for $270. I had paid them the extra $270 the day before. I was a day away from having to pay another full months rent!

Stay FAR FAR FAR away from Alpine Apartments and Weidner. Read More

The apartments are old and poorly maintained; my guess is they have not been updated since they were constructed. Foundations have wide cracks, entry door to my building spends as much time broken as it does fixed. You have to go downstairs to let people in since the access controls from the apartments don't work. Elevator hasn't been properly certified or serviced since at least 2015 when I moved in. Building (5410) is supposed to be non-smoking but always smells of smoke and pot in both... hallways and elevator. On-site storage is basically plywood 3 x 4 rooms for $75 per month not the $25 listed above. The only thing included is heat which you have no control over so you end up having to leave windows open in the winter to stay below 80 degrees and be cool enough to sleep. A/C is extra if you want to rent a unit from the complex and they are not very efficient units anyway and are old and loud. You will receive a bill each month for trash removal, electricity (even though you pay the electric company already for your apartment), and sewer, which Alpine is making extra money on those bills by overcharging. They used to say cable was included which they charged you for each month as over the figure quoted as rent so it wasn’t included and still isn’t with you getting charged each month. Security is pathetic as I've had to honk my horn to wake him up to open the gate if he/she even shows up at night. Overall the apartments need serious work and updating, as the layout is horrible.
