Resident 2012 - 2015

1/6/2015

I lived here a few years and at first it wasn't bad. Close to shopping and town are the two big pros at Alpine. Maintenance is also pretty good about taking care of most problems. The units themselves don't have baseboards or cabinet/drawer pulls (expect many slammed cupboards and broken nails). I guess now you can pay extra for units with these updates, but in the last couple of years most units have increased almost $200 a month. You can buy a nice condo or small house for what they charge now. They have updated many of the heat pumps, but I always felt frozen in the cold months. The older windows leak and heat pumps can't keep up with MI winter season. Oh and the blower noise even on the new heat pumps will have you constantly adjusting your TV volume, while you fight trying to hear a program. This while also trying to not disturb your neighbors. Speaking of noise....Do not complain about noise as it does no good, nor do any vehicle complaints. You will be told by management its basically not their problem, so call the cops, talk with the offenders or deal with it. My recommendation is avoid any and all basement apartments in any complex. You will hear everything above you. That and when people leave in the early morning hours they tend to turn on their lights right into many lower apartment windows....who sleeps in anymore? Also, check on the age of your neighbors (party age?) and the children/dog situation if that bothers you. Yes, there are dogs, cats and college students here. Parking is not any better. They assign you one awning covered spot per unit that is far away from your unit? Every residents spot is far away, when they could all be right in front of the units? No resident parking only signs, so many times you come home and have to find another spot. From door dings, tree sap (pine trees covered parking spots?) and bird ---- (they love making nests in the awnings) I'm sure glad I didn't have a very nice vehicle. It was an experience and I won't even get into the issues with management or corporate. Just pay that rent on time or you'll get an eviction notice so fast your head will spin...no excuses, period. They act so nice upon first sign up, but eventually you figure out that it's all an act and they only want that money. It is a business and I get that, but take care of your good tenants and stop jacking the rent so damn high!
