	SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN
STATEMENTS
	FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)



	Pursuant to the instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G,
Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), 82
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of FMR LLC and an investment adviser
registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 669,300 shares or 1.618%
of the Common Stock outstanding of ASSOCIATED
ESTATES REALTY CORP  ("the Company") as a result of
acting as investment adviser to various investment companies
registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.

	Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR LLC, through its
control of Fidelity, and the funds each has sole power to
dispose of the 669,300 shares owned by the Funds.

	Members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d,
Chairman of FMR LLC, are the predominant owners, directly
or through trusts, of Series B voting common shares of FMR
LLC, representing 49% of the voting power of FMR LLC.
The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders
have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under
which all Series B voting common shares will be voted in
accordance with the majority vote of Series B voting common
shares.  Accordingly, through their ownership of voting
common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting
agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed,
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.

	Neither FMR LLC nor Edward C. Johnson 3d,
Chairman of FMR LLC, has the sole power to vote or direct
the voting of the shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds,
which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.
Fidelity carries out the voting of the shares under written
guidelines established by the Funds' Boards of Trustees.

	FIL Limited ("FIL"), Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow Lane,
Hamilton, Bermuda, and various foreign-based subsidiaries
provide investment advisory and management services to a
number of non-U.S. investment companies and certain
institutional investors.  FIL, which is a qualified institution
under section 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii), is the beneficial owner of
875,000 shares or 2.115% of the Common Stock outstanding
of the Company.

	Partnerships controlled predominantly by members of
the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR LLC
and FIL, or trusts for their benefit, own shares of FIL voting
stock with the right to cast approximately 39% of the total
votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting stock.
FMR LLC and FIL are separate and independent corporate
entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed
of different individuals.

	FMR LLC and FIL are of the view that they are not
acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that
they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the
"beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by
the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the 1934 Act.  Therefore, they are of the
view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be
aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR
LLC is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the
shares are beneficially owned by FMR LLC and FIL on a joint
basis.
