For Immediate News Release

AVALONBAY COMMUNITIES, INC. ANNOUNCES
FIRST QUARTER 2011 OPERATING RESULTS

(Arlington, VA) AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (NYSE: AVB) (the Company) reported today that Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders (Net Income) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $30,341,000. This resulted in Earnings per Share diluted (EPS) of $0.35 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to EPS of $0.88 for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of 60.2%.

The decrease in EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 from the prior year period is due primarily to a decrease in real estate sales and related gains with no comparable activity in 2011, offset partially by an increase in NOI from communities.

Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders diluted (FFO) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased 12.5% to $1.08 from $0.96 for the comparable period of 2010.

The Companys FFO and EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 include the recognition of a one-time benefit of approximately $0.03 per share for interest income associated with escrow funds for certain tax exempt financings. FFO and EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 include approximately $0.01 per share for costs related to the severe weather experienced by the East Coast communities in the first quarter of 2010. Adjusting for these non-routine items, FFO per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 would have increased by 8.2% from the prior year period.

The following table compares the Companys first quarter 2011 actual results to its February 2011 outlook:

First Quarter 2011 Results
Comparison to February 2011 Outlook


	Per Share
FFO 1Q 2011 February 2011 Outlook (1)	$	1.02

Non-routine items interest income		0.03


FFO 1Q 2011 Reported Results	$	1.08


(1)		Represents the mid-point of the Companys 1Q 2011 Outlook.

Commenting on the Companys results, Bryce Blair, Chairman and CEO, said, Our operating results reflect strengthening apartment fundamentals that accelerated during the quarter. Job growth, particularly among younger workers, is driving higher rental demand while new supply remains muted. We expect fundamentals will continue to accelerate during the year such that FFO per share for the year will meet or exceed the high end of the range we provided in February.

Operating Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Prior Year Period

For the Company, including discontinued operations, total revenue increased by $17,019,000, or 7.8% to $235,808,000.

As part of the transaction, the Company assumed a $55,400,000 fixed-rate mortgage loan with a 5.24% interest rate and a maturity date of June 2013. In exchange, the Company relinquished a $55,800,000 mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 5.86% that matures in May 2019.

Fairfax Towers is a high-rise community consisting of 415 apartment homes, located in Falls Church, VA, and was acquired for a purchase price of $89,200,000. In conjunction with this acquisition, the Company assumed the existing 4.75% fixed-rate mortgage loan of $44,044,000, which matures in August 2015.

Transaction costs for the asset exchange and acquisition of Fairfax Towers will be approximately $1,000,000. These one-time charges will be reflected in the Companys second quarter 2011 earnings.

Avalon at Rock Spring, a 386 apartment home community located in Rockville, MD, was developed through the joint venture in 2003.

The Company plans to sell Avalon at Rock Spring during the second half of 2011.

(1)		See Attachment #13 Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms.

(2)		Payroll includes expenses directly related to on-site operations. The increase over the prior year is due primarily to the impact of increased compensation for better than expected community operating performance as well as from increased benefits costs.

(3)		Repairs & maintenance includes costs associated with preparing an apartment home for new residents including carpet and appliance maintenance or replacement, as well as redecorating, landscaping, snow removal and regular maintenance costs.

(4)		Office operations includes administrative costs, bad debt expense and association and license fees. The decrease from the prior year period is due primarily to a decrease in bad debt expense.

(5)		Utilities represents aggregate utility costs, net of resident reimbursements.

(6)		Land lease expense represents GAAP-based rental expense, which is higher than actual cash payments made. Expensed land lease payments were $519 higher than cash payments during the quarter ended ended March 31, 2011.

(7)		Insurance costs consist of premiums, expected claims activity and associated reductions from receipt of claims proceeds. Changes between years consist of deposits for insurance settlements received in 2010 not present in 2011 and expected claims adjustments. Insurance costs can exhibit volatility due to the amounts and timing of estimated and actual claim activity and the related proceeds received.

(8)		Operating expenses for Established Communities excludes indirect costs for off-site corporate level property management related expenses, and other support related expenses.

(3)		The Company commenced the redevelopment of Avalon at Prudential Center in Boston, MA during the second quarter 2010 for an estimated Total Capital Cost of $28.4 million.
		The redevelopment is primarily focused on the exterior and/or common area and is not expected to have a material impact on community operations, including occupancy, or the expected future level of rental revenue. This community is therefore included in the Established Community portfolio and not classified as a Redevelopment Community.

(4)		Redevelopment efforts will be focused on the 368 units associated with the initial phase of this community which was acquired by a predecessor of the Company in Q3 1995.

Attachment 13

AvalonBay Communities, Inc.
Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

This release, including its attachments, contains certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms. The definition and calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures referred to below should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered as an alternative measure of liquidity or as indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

FFO is determined based on a definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO is calculated by the Company as Net income or loss attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for gains or losses on sales of previously depreciated operating communities, extraordinary gains or losses (as defined by GAAP), cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and depreciation of real estate assets, including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management generally considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to dispositions of previously depreciated operating communities and excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a companys real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. A reconciliation of FFO to Net income attributable to common stockholders is as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Q1		Q1
	2011		2010
Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	30,341	$	72,523
Depreciation real estate assets, including discontinued operations and joint venture adjustments		63,194		57,011
Distributions to noncontrolling interests, including discontinued operations		7		14
Gain on sale of previously depreciated real estate assets				(50,291	)



FFO attributable to common stockholders	$	93,542	$	79,257


Average shares outstanding diluted		86,997,530		82,310,670

Earnings per share diluted	$	0.35	$	0.88

FFO per common share diluted	$	1.08	$	0.96

Projected FFO, as provided within this release in the Companys outlook, is calculated on a basis consistent with historical FFO, and is therefore considered to be an appropriate supplemental measure to projected net income from projected operating performance. A reconciliation of the range provided for Projected FFO per share (diluted) for the second quarter 2011 to the range provided for projected EPS (diluted) is as follows:


	Low			High
	range			range
Projected EPS (diluted) Q2 2011	$	0.47		$	0.51
Projected depreciation (real estate related)		0.68			0.72
Projected gain on sale of operating communities		(0.09	)		(0.13	)


Projected FFO per share (diluted) Q2 2011	$	1.06		$	1.10

Attachment 13 (continued)

NOI is defined by the Company as total property revenue less direct property operating expenses (including property taxes), and excludes corporate-level income (including management, development and other fees), corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses, investments and investment management expenses, expensed development and other pursuit costs, net interest expense, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, general and administrative expense, joint venture income (loss), depreciation expense, impairment loss on land holdings, gain on sale of real estate assets and income from discontinued operations. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income of operating performance of a community or communities because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of a community or communities prior to the allocation of corporate-level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. This is more reflective of the operating performance of a community, and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of single assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead by acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or groups of assets.

A reconciliation of NOI (from continuing operations) to Net income, as well as a breakdown of NOI by operating segment, is as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Q1			Q1			Q4

Attachment 13 (continued)

NOI as reported by the Company does not include the operating results from discontinued operations (i.e., assets sold during the period January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 or classified as held for sale at March 31, 2011). A reconciliation of NOI from communities sold or classified as discontinued operations to net income for these communities is as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Q1	Q1
	2011	2010
Income from discontinued operations	$	$	1,875

NOI from discontinued operations	$	$	1,998

Projected NOI, as used within this release for certain Development Communities and in calculating the Initial Year Market Cap Rate for dispositions, represents managements estimate, as of the date of this release (or as of the date of the buyers valuation in the case of dispositions), of projected stabilized rental revenue minus projected stabilized operating expenses. For Development Communities, Projected NOI is calculated based on the first twelve months of Stabilized Operations, as defined below, following the completion of construction. In calculating the Initial Year Market Cap Rate, Projected NOI for dispositions is calculated for the first twelve months following the date of the buyers valuation. Projected stabilized rental revenue represents managements estimate of projected gross potential minus projected stabilized economic vacancy and adjusted for projected stabilized concessions plus projected stabilized other rental revenue. Projected stabilized operating expenses do not include interest, income taxes (if any), depreciation or amortization, or any allocation of corporate-level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. Projected gross potential for Development Communities and dispositions is based on leased rents for occupied homes and managements best estimate of rental levels for homes which are currently unleased, as well as those homes which will become available for lease during the twelve month forward period used to develop Projected NOI. The weighted average Projected NOI as a percentage of Total Capital Cost is weighted based on the Companys share of the Total Capital Cost of each community, based on its percentage ownership.

Management believes that Projected NOI of the Development Communities, on an aggregated weighted average basis, assists investors in understanding managements estimate of the likely impact on operations of the Development Communities when the assets are complete and achieve stabilized occupancy (before allocation of any corporate-level property management overhead, general and administrative costs or interest expense). However, in this release the Company has not given a projection of NOI on a company-wide basis. Given the different dates and fiscal years for which NOI is projected for these communities, the projected allocation of corporate-level property management overhead, general and administrative costs and interest expense to communities under development is complex, impractical to develop, and may not be meaningful. Projected NOI of these communities is not a projection of the Companys overall financial performance or cash flow. There can be no assurance that the communities under development or redevelopment will achieve the Projected NOI as described in this release.

Rental Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis is considered by the Company to be a supplemental measure to rental revenue in conformity with GAAP to help investors evaluate the impact of both current and historical concessions on GAAP based rental revenue and to more readily enable comparisons to revenue as reported by other companies. In addition, rental revenue (with concessions on a cash basis) allows an investor to understand the historical trend in cash concessions.

Attachment 13 (continued)

A reconciliation of rental revenue from Established Communities in conformity with GAAP to rental revenue (with concessions on a cash basis) is as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Q1			Q1
	2011			2010
Rental revenue (GAAP basis)	$	171,018		$	164,838
Concessions amortized		573			2,130

Rental revenue (with concessions on a cash basis)	$	171,462		$	166,062


% change GAAP revenue					3.7	%

% change cash revenue					3.3	%

Economic Gain (Loss) is calculated by the Company as the gain (loss) on sale in accordance with GAAP, less accumulated depreciation through the date of sale and any other non-cash adjustments that may be required under GAAP accounting. Management generally considers Economic Gain (Loss) to be an appropriate supplemental measure to gain (loss) on sale in accordance with GAAP because it helps investors to understand the relationship between the cash proceeds from a sale and the cash invested in the sold community. The Economic Gain (Loss) for each of the communities presented is estimated based on their respective final settlement statements. A reconciliation of Economic Gain (Loss) to gain on sale in accordance with GAAP for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as well as prior years activities is presented on Attachment 12.

Interest Coverage is calculated by the Company as EBITDA from continuing operations, excluding land gains and gain on the sale of investments in real estate joint ventures, divided by the sum of interest expense, net, and preferred dividends. Interest Coverage is presented by the Company because it provides rating agencies and investors an additional means of comparing our ability to service debt obligations to that of other companies. EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income attributable to the Company before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

A reconciliation of EBITDA and a calculation of Interest Coverage for the first quarter of 2011 are as follows (dollars in thousands):


Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	30,341
Interest expense, net		44,271
Depreciation expense		61,299


EBITDA	$	135,911


EBITDA from continuing operations	$	135,911
EBITDA from discontinued operations


EBITDA	$	135,911


EBITDA from continuing operations	$	135,911


Interest charges	$	44,271


Interest coverage		3.1

Total Capital Cost includes all capitalized costs projected to be or actually incurred to develop the respective Development or Redevelopment Community, or Development Right, including land acquisition costs, construction

Attachment 13 (continued)

costs, real estate taxes, capitalized interest and loan fees, permits, professional fees, allocated development overhead and other regulatory fees, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. For Redevelopment Communities, Total Capital Cost excludes costs incurred prior to the start of redevelopment when indicated. With respect to communities where development or redevelopment was completed in a prior or the current period, Total Capital Cost reflects the actual cost incurred, plus any contingency estimate made by management. Total Capital Cost for communities identified as having joint venture ownership, either during construction or upon construction completion, represents the total projected joint venture contribution amount. For joint ventures not in construction, Total Capital Cost is equal to gross real estate cost.

Initial Year Market Cap Rate is defined by the Company as Projected NOI of a single community for the first 12 months of operations (assuming no repositioning), less estimates for non-routine allowance of approximately $200 $300 per apartment home, divided by the gross sales price for the community. Projected NOI, as referred to above, represents managements estimate of projected rental revenue minus projected operating expenses before interest, income taxes (if any), depreciation, amortization and extraordinary items. For this purpose, managements projection of operating expenses for the community includes a management fee of 3.0% 3.5%. The Initial Year Market Cap Rate, which may be determined in a different manner by others, is a measure frequently used in the real estate industry when determining the appropriate purchase price for a property or estimating the value for a property. Buyers may assign different Initial Year Market Cap Rates to different communities when determining the appropriate value because they (i) may project different rates of change in operating expenses and capital expenditure estimates and (ii) may project different rates of change in future rental revenue due to different estimates for changes in rent and occupancy levels. The weighted average Initial Year Market Cap Rate is weighted based on the gross sales price of each community.

Unleveraged IRR on sold communities refers to the internal rate of return calculated by the Company considering the timing and amounts of (i) total revenue during the period owned by the Company and (ii) the gross sales price net of selling costs, offset by (iii) the undepreciated capital cost of the communities at the time of sale and (iv) total direct operating expenses during the period owned by the Company. Each of the items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The calculation of Unleveraged IRR does not include an adjustment for the Companys general and administrative expense, interest expense, or corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses. Therefore, Unleveraged IRR is not a substitute for Net income as a measure of our performance. Management believes that the Unleveraged IRR achieved during the period a community is owned by the Company is useful because it is one indication of the gross value created by the Companys acquisition, development or redevelopment, management and sale of a community, before the impact of indirect expenses and Company overhead. The Unleveraged IRR achieved on the communities as cited in this release should not be viewed as an indication of the gross value created with respect to other communities owned by the Company, and the Company does not represent that it will achieve similar Unleveraged IRRs upon the disposition of other communities. The weighted average Unleveraged IRR for sold communities is weighted based on all cash flows over the holding period for each respective community, including net sales proceeds.

Unencumbered NOI as calculated by the Company represents NOI generated by real estate assets unencumbered by either outstanding secured debt or land leases (excluding land leases with purchase options that were put in place for governmental incentives or tax abatements) as a percentage of total NOI generated by real estate assets. The Company believes that current and prospective unsecured creditors of the Company view Unencumbered NOI as one indication of the borrowing capacity of the Company. Therefore, when reviewed together with the Companys Interest Coverage, EBITDA and cash flow from operations, the Company believes that investors and creditors view Unencumbered NOI as a useful supplemental measure for determining the financial flexibility of an entity. A calculation of Unencumbered NOI for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Attachment 13 (continued)


NOI for Established Communities	$	114,165
NOI for Other Stabilized Communities		18,711
NOI for Development/Redevelopment Communities		18,889

Total NOI generated by real estate assets		151,765
NOI on encumbered assets		46,571


NOI on unencumbered assets		105,194


Unencumbered NOI		69	%

Established Communities are identified by the Company as communities where a comparison of operating results from the prior year to the current year is meaningful, as these communities were owned and had Stabilized Operations, as defined below, as of the beginning of the prior year. Therefore, for 2011, Established Communities are consolidated communities that have Stabilized Operations as of January 1, 2010 and are not conducting or planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities within the current year. Established Communities do not include communities that are currently held for sale or planned for disposition during the current year.

Other Stabilized Communities are completed consolidated communities that the Company owns, which did not have stabilized operations as of January 1, 2010, but have stabilized occupancy as of January 1, 2011. Other Stabilized Communities do not include communities that are planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities or that are planned for disposition within the current year.

Development Communities are communities that are under construction during the current year. These communities may be partially or fully complete and operating.

Redevelopment Communities are communities where the Company owns a majority interest and where substantial redevelopment is in progress or is planned to begin during the current year. Redevelopment is generally considered substantial when capital invested during the reconstruction effort is expected to exceed either $5,000,000 or 10% of the communitys pre-development basis and is expected to have a material impact on the communitys operations, including occupancy levels and future rental rates.

Average Rental Rates are calculated by the Company as rental revenue in accordance with GAAP, divided by the weighted average number of occupied apartment homes.

Economic Occupancy is defined as total possible revenue less vacancy loss as a percentage of total possible revenue. Total possible revenue is determined by valuing occupied units at contract rates and vacant units at Market Rents. Vacancy loss is determined by valuing vacant units at current Market Rents. By measuring vacant apartments at their Market Rents, Economic Occupancy takes into account the fact that apartment homes of different sizes and locations within a community have different economic impacts on a communitys gross revenue.

Market Rents as reported by the Company are based on the current market rates set by the managers of the Companys communities based on their experience in renting their communities apartments and publicly available market data. Trends in market rents for a region as reported by others could vary. Market Rents for a period are based on the average Market Rents during that period and do not reflect any impact for cash concessions.

Non-Revenue Generating Capex represents capital expenditures that will not directly result in revenue earnings or expense savings.

Stabilized/Restabilized Operations is defined as the earlier of (i) attainment of 95% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment.

Average Rent per Home as calculated for certain Development and Redevelopment Communities in lease-up, reflects managements projected stabilized rents net of estimated stabilized concessions and including estimated stabilized other rental revenue.
