September, 2004:
I absolutely love living here. My apartment is huge and has tons of closet space. At first I figured it'd be kind of trashy because of the great price, but I was wrong. My apartment is incredible, and the whole complex is nice looking. Plus Archstone lets you move to another complex they own without breaking your lease. I highly recommend this complex to anyone.

The place did seem to go downhill once Archstone sold it to Lyon. You couldn't pay your rent / submit service requests online anymore; the dumpster was always full (or overflowing) with trash; and they substantially raised my rent over the previous year ($84/month more for the exact same apartment). They also made me pay $30 to add my wife onto our lease (I was single when I first rented the apartment) when I could have just made an extra copy of my key and not gone through the hassle. I finally got so fed up that I broke my lease early (with the only penalty being one month's rent), so that I could buy a house and get out of there rather than living there another 4 months. So, I would definitely rent from Archstone if I ever move, but I will never rent from Lyon/Jasmine again.
