HUGE WARNING - **NOISE**

Hi everyone,

I moved into Archstone Apartments almost a year ago. These are very nice and well kept apartments and maintenance is usually speedy.

HOWEVER - BEWARE. This apartment complex is right next to a baseball stadium. For 4-5 months at a time, 3-4 times a week, at approximately 10:00 p.m., there is fireworks display in the baseball stadium for about an hour or longer. It literally sounds like BOMBS going off right outside of your door. I can sleep through ANYTHING but not this. Not only is it noisy but actually hurts your ears, and this is WITH the windows closed. It is surprising that they don't warn people about this prior to moving in. If one was to purchase property in this area, surely, you could sue later for someone not disclosing this fact to you. I am highlighting this issue because if I had known about it, I would not have moved here. The first time I heard it, I called the police, thinking that some kid was setting off firecrackers in the parking lot.

Also, these apartments are EXTREMELY expensive - we have a 2 bedroom/2 bath for $1300. The walls are thin - everytime our neighbor takes a shower, you can hear him/her turn on the faucet.
