All Archstones are the McDonald's of the housing world, these facilities are prisons of substandard housing that take advantage of families and pet owners, a monopoly for those who who can't find any other place to live that allows indoor dogs larger than the size of a feminine napkin. The tell you its a "privilege" to have pets, and these nazis charge you a non-refundable pet deposit but along with insane "pet rent" every month.

There was black mold growing in the corner of my closet behind my clothes, and on ALL the windows (even the ones that don't work and are just there for aesthetic reasons apparently). There is always moisture coming from somewhere making this place humid and unbearable in the summer and cold and damp in the winter.

Also, if you dont smoke, get ready to start because in the summer when it is sweltering, your neighbors will go on their balconies and blow it directly into your fan airflow which fills up your apartment with smoke, even when your pets are home alone.

It is midnight midday here, flood lights fill up this place all night long, and because of poor design and planning, bright lights will be blaring into your bedroom while you're trying to sleep and if you change rooms, the power station and the Seattle Times building will be buzzing all day and night.

This place has poor security, drug running on the premises and from the local day labor force next door at Home Depot (they hide in the bushes), car break-ins, speeders who nearly kill a child daily and wake you up at night with either full blast Mexican Polka, or the latest piece of crap pop sensation, incompetent, disorganized office workers, ants, first-time-on-their-own college kids who puke malt liquor of balconies, faulty drains and garbage disposals, old washing machines that break, old ovens that break, ------, filthy carpet (I cleaned a stain that made it look so different from the rest of the carpet color that I thought they'd charge me for damage), bizarre kitchen planning where space is wasted and cupboards open into each other like a warped room from Alice in Wonderland, no follow-through on complaints to the office, zero enforcement of the lease rules, bored maintenance men who go around and check car tabs to make sure you're all paid up on time while ignoring junk cars that take up parking spaces, causing you to walk miles to your front door every day, high, unfair rental pricing, disgusting workout rooms with dysfunctional equipment, and on and on and on...........

I experience ALL of this. Do NOT move here or you will be stuck and tortured in a stinking stagnate hell pit of doom, and when you do want to move you will have to pay a move-out fee no matter how hard you clean and scrub. They getcha comin and goin.
