<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">I am writing to inform you that we will resume our Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.&#160;
The Plan provides a convenient and economical method by which you may
increase your ownership of&#160; AvalonBay
common stock. Enclosed is a Prospectus that describes the terms of the Plan and
contains&#160; other information about
AvalonBay and the risks of an investment in AvalonBay's common stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All holders of record of shares of AvalonBay's common stock and preferred
stock are eligible to&#160; participate in
the Plan. Therefore, if you are the beneficial owner of shares of common stock
or&#160; preferred stock registered in the
name of a broker, bank or other nominee, then you must contact the&#160; nominee and make arrangements to either
participate through the nominee or become the holder of&#160; record by having all or a portion of your
shares transferred into your name.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If you elect to participate in the Plan, you may elect to do either or
both of the following:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Common stock acquired through the Plan will generally be purchased at a
price equal to the last&#160; reported sale
price for a share of common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on
the&#160; applicable investment date. Please
read the enclosed Prospectus for more information regarding the&#160; determination of the price of common stock
purchased through the Plan. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Participation in the plan is voluntary, and you may begin or terminate
participation at any time within&#160; the
limits described in the enclosed Prospectus. If you do not wish to participate
in the Plan, you will&#160; continue to
receive dividends when they are paid. <b><i><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Please note that you must re-enroll in the Plan even if</font></i></b>&#160; <b><i><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">you participated in the Plan in prior years before it was
suspended.</font></i></b></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The terms of the Plan are presented in an easy-to-read
question-and-answer format in the enclosed &#160;Prospectus, including how to enroll on page 12. The Prospectus
provides information about AvalonBay&#160;
and the Plan, which you should review carefully before making any
investment decision under the Plan.&#160;
Please read the enclosed Prospectus carefully and consider the risks and
benefits to you of participating&#160; in the
Plan. You should also retain a copy of the Prospectus in your records for
future reference.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We will open the Plan beginning with the dividends paid on AvalonBay's
common stock in respect of&#160; the second
quarter of 2004, which we anticipate paying on July 15, 2004 to stockholders of
record as of&#160; July 1, 2004. If you wish
to have dividends from that quarter reinvested pursuant to the Plan, you must&#160; complete and return the enclosed
authorization form for receipt by Wachovia Bank, N.A. at least one&#160; business day before the record date for
those dividends.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
