Why is apartment different in Backcountry San Diego?
Backcountry apartment moves are rare; most rural housing is detached single-family or cabin. The exception is Julian's downtown apartments above the historic storefronts, where the 4,000-foot elevation, narrow staircases, and original 1900s wood-frame construction call for slow careful loading and a 17-foot truck staged on Main Street. Pine Valley and Alpine have a handful of small apartment complexes near SR-79 and SR-94 where surface parking is fine but the depot drive surcharge applies. Winter snow days in Julian get rescheduled, no exceptions.
