No? Then by all means continue searching because that is exactly what you will find at the Archstone Ballston Square apartments where Danielle and the ""management"" team will make sure that you are treated as exactly what you are...a rent check and nothing more. I would not recommend living here to anyone. After two years of fairly happy residence here (in which we were never late on rent and never caused any troubles for management, by the way), my fiancee and I are likely to leave our home after learning that the rent on our one bedroom apartment will go up $190/month this year due to ""the market"" or whatever the lame excuse was they gave me. What's more, we received the note about this rent increase on May 26 and have until June 6 to inform them if we'll be accepting the new rental rates in order to be in compliance with the 60-day move-out notice requirements. This is a fine building and we really like our apartment but the treatment we've been shown as long-term tenants is just lame, rude and a really lousy way to run an apartment building. Do not rent an apartment here unless you are able and willing to pay much more than your first year's rent in subsequent years.
