This place was horrible.

The rooms are SO TINY and the closet is literally a hole in the wall.

The only good things I have to say about Alpine Village are regarding some pretty immaterial things: They have a good color scheme for the apartment and parking was always easy.

But it DOES NOT make up for the fact that the management is a bunch of bumbling, lying THIEVES. They will nickel and dime you for "hidden fees", they will make promises to follow through with certain things then retract their promises, the women in the office are a JOKE--none of them know what is going on and they certainly don't communicate well with anyone. They are RUDE to tenants (I have literally had one scream at me) and they are forgetful.

The pretty decorations are NOT worth putting up with management that STEALS nearly half of your deposit for "carpet cleaning" and that is not capable of managing books in an honest manner.

Not only that, but the people that live there are shallow, for the most part. Like someone said earlier, it's a FASHIONS show. The parties they throw are lame and way too loud.

Even the flat screen TV that came with the apartment was crappy in quality.

I wish I had found some place else to live instead of having about 2000 dollars stolen from me. (They said they only had 12 month contracts available but lo' and behold, there were others that managed to obtain 8 month contracts.)

Things are always falling apart and it takes management forever to fix anything. The bedrooms are really, really small. I have had a closet bigger than this bedroom before. We also have an ant problem, but management doesn't believe us and won't do anything about it. Utilities are fixed, which is fine, but they way over charge you for them, plus they are raising the rate this coming year (as well as rent, so I heard). Mangement thinks it's really cool to throw huge parties in the courtyard during finals week, so if you like to study at home, you can kiss your test scores good-bye. Probably I wouldn't complain so much, but when I'm paying nearly $400 a month for a closet and no storage space, it is definitely not worth it to me to stay. They've also lied to us many, many times. Make sure you get everything in writing and keep copies! If you don't, it will come back to bite you in the butt.

The ward is also... mostly a fashion show. The great majority of people who live here are rich and like to show off their style (as well as lots of skin) and there is nothing done to enforce BYU standards. Some of the bishoprics are really great (there are three wards during fall/winter), but others don't really do much to reach out to their ward members and you can easily fall through the cracks. Hometeaching and Visiting teaching rarely gets done, which is sad considering how close everyone is to each other.

The pool and the clubhouse are both nice, but the clubhouse gets over-crowded very quickly and it's very stuffy. Also, the ping-pong table and the piano keep breaking. The weightroom is well equipped and people use it all the time. The pool is mostly used for the deck (suntanning, no swimming), but it is heated during the winter to a lush 95 degrees. Avoid it at night unless you like watching all that hanky-panky.

NOT WORTH IT!

Alpine is such a great place to live!! SOOOO social!! Brand new apartments so everything is clean. No problem with parking. They heat the pool during the winter so it is just like a big hot tub. Management is easy to work with. If people have problems it is just because they did something wrong. Of course they will charge you if you don't do a cleaning check or lose a key just like everywhere else. Such a great place to live!!

Great place to live...loved the apt's and the parking garage. The 65th ward is awesome! Management is easy to work with.

The apartments are really nice and easy to clean because they're brand new. The people here are really nice too and parking is great. The rooms are quite small and the management sucks. They definitely rip you off and play favorites with select tenants. Upon moving in, the first night we didn't have any furniture and didn't get our table for a month. They didn't offer any discount on our rent for the inconvenience and we still have to deal with random construction workers (although it isn't as bad horrible as it was all during fall semester). The only reason i wouldn't recommend living here is the price for the small apartment and the crappy management. If you don't care about that, then it's great. oh... and there's not hot tub and no grass either.

This place is ok. It is pretty expensive for the things you have, I mean there are better places and cheaper. The managers will always find away to get money out of your pocket. The rooms are small for the price, and the only thing I think it was fine was the TV, just bc it was a plasma TV and that's it. when the cleaning checks the ones who revise it are very hard to satisfied sometimes, and it's pretty annoying. It's not worth the price.

Pretty nice apartments and good location. People there are cool but management will find ways to rip you off - that's the biggest complaint right now and a good portion of the tenants are currently having issues. I just got out of mediation with BYU's dispute resolution committee and it's been a pain.

The management is unreasonable and dishonest. Do not take their word on anything, get it in writing!! The other tenants are nice and the parking is great. Otherwise, it's not worth the price. The rooms are very small and the tenants are not treated with any amount of respect or honesty.
