ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 31, 1998

Overview

BRE Properties, Inc. (the "Company" or "BRE") is a regionally focused,
self-administered equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") which primarily
owns and manages a portfolio of 75 apartment communities (aggregating 18,956
units) in 12 major markets of the Western United States. The Company also owns
five commercial and retail properties and two properties held in partnerships in
which BRE is a minority limited partner. The Company's revenues consist
primarily of rental income (93% of total revenues in the quarter ended March 31,
1998 and 94% in the quarter ended March 31, 1997) derived from its portfolio of
income-producing properties. Other income includes various fees and charges to
residents of multifamily communities, and to a lesser extent, interest from
notes receivable, fee management income and income from partnership investments.
The policy of the Company is to emphasize cash flows from operations rather than
the realization of capital gains through property dispositions. As dispositions
of real estate assets are made, the Company typically seeks to reinvest net
proceeds from sales in income-producing real estate.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," including statements regarding the
Company's beliefs, expectations or strategies regarding the future, constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under the heading "Risk
Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997 (the "1997 Form 10-K"), that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

REVENUES

Total revenues were $47,413,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to $31,726,000 for the same period in 1997. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in multifamily rental revenues resulting from the acquisition
of 23 multifamily communities, which contributed approximately $16,110,000 and
$860,000 to multifamily rental revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. Further, multifamily rental revenues from
"Same-Store" communities (multifamily communities owned by the Company and
stabilized as of January 1, 1997 and consisting of 12,002 of BRE's 18,956 total
units) increased $1,956,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared
to the same period in 1997. This increase was due primarily to an average
increase in rental rates of approximately 8%.

Rental revenues from commercial and retail properties decreased 90% in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997 due
largely to the sale of ten such properties in these categories (which properties
contributed approximately $24,000 and $2,979,000 in revenues during the quarters
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively).

Other income increased from $1,865,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to
$3,091,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 due primarily to the acquisition
of 23 multifamily communities and offset in part by the sale of ten commercial
and retail properties.

1998 and 1997 follows (dollars in thousands):

repairs, utilities, on-site staff payroll, property taxes, insurance,
advertising and other direct operating expenses) for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 increased 57% to $14,730,000 from the comparable period in 1997 primarily

for commercial and retail properties changed from $214,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 to $15,000 in the same period in 1997 due primarily to the sale

Provision for Depreciation and Amortization

The provision for depreciation and amortization increased by $2,317,000 to
$6,485,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from the comparable period of
1997. The increase in 1998 resulted primarily from multifamily property
acquisitions and was offset in part by dispositions of commercial and retail
properties.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $8,535,000 (net of capitalized interest) for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, up from $5,890,000 for the same period in 1997. This
increase was due largely to interest expense on the Company's $50 million and
$130 million unsecured senior notes and the mortgage indebtedness assumed in the
November 1997 transaction with Trammell Crow Residential-West.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs were $1,665,000 or 3.5% of total revenues for
the first quarter in 1998 and $1,113,000 or 3.5% of total revenues for the first
quarter in 1997. The increase of the total general and administrative expense
reflect the costs of administering a much larger portfolio in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, with total revenues approximately 49% greater than in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997.

Net Loss on Sales of Real Estate Investments

The net loss on sales of real estate investments for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 were primarily due to the sale of Park Glenn Apartments in Camarillo, CA
and the limited partnership interest in the Chateau de Ville partnership in
Anaheim, CA. There were no net gains (or loss) on sales of real estate
investments for the comparable period in 1997.

Net Income

Net income increased from $10,942,000 to $14,142,000 for the quarters ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998 respectively, primarily due to the addition of 23
multifamily apartment communities acquired. The increase was offset in part by
the sale of ten commercial and retail properties.

following assets:

Impact Of Inflation

For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, over 90% of the Company's total revenues
were derived from apartment properties. Due to the short-term nature of most
apartment leases (typically one year or less), the Company may seek to adjust
rents to help counter the impact of inflation upon renewal of existing leases or
commencement of new leases, although there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to adjust rents in response to inflation. In addition, occupancy
rates may fluctuate due to short-term leases, which permit apartment residents
to leave at the end of each lease term at minimal cost to the resident.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1998, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,910,000,
down from $4,216,000 at December 31, 1997. Borrowings under the Company's lines
of credit were $110,000,000 at March 31, 1998, compared to $186,000,000 at
December 31, 1997. Lines of credit are available to fund new acquisitions, fund
capital improvements and operating expenses and pay dividends to shareholders.
The Company typically reduces lines of credit with cash balances as available.

The Company's lines of credit provide for borrowings of up to $300,000,000, with
$190,000,000 available at March 31, 1998. The lines of credit expire in June
2000 as to $265,000,000 and April 2000 as to $35,000,000. The lines of credit
bear interest at LIBOR plus .70%. Costs of the lines of credit are .125% per
annum on the total commitment amount and an unuse fee of .125% per annum as to
unused amounts on the $35,000,000 line.

Additionally, the Company had $73,000,000 of unsecured indebtedness at March 31,
1998, with an interest rate of 7.44% per annum as to $55,000,000 and 7.88% per
annum as to $18,000,000. This indebtedness is to be repaid through scheduled
principal payments in the years from 2000 to 2005. The Company also had a
$50,000,000 issue of unsecured notes due 2007, with an effective rate of 7.8%
and a $130,000,000 issue of unsecured notes due 2013 with an effective rate,
reflecting the settlement of a Treasury Lock Swap Agreement, underwriting fees
and other costs, of approximately 7.3%. At March 31, 1998, the Company also had
outstanding mortgage indebtedness of $235,195,000 at interest rates ranging from
5.8% to 9.3%, with an overall average of approximately 7.6%. The remaining terms
of the mortgage indebtedness range from less than one to 30 years.

For additional information regarding the Company's lines of credit, unsecured
notes payable and mortgage loans payable, including scheduled principal payments
over the next five years, see Notes 5 and 6 to Notes to Financial Statements
contained in the Company's 1997 Form 10-K. Certain of the Company's indebtedness
contains financial covenants as to minimum net worth, interest coverage ratios,
maximum secured debt and total debt to capital, among others. The Company was in
compliance with all such covenants during the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

The Company believes that its cash flow and cash available from lines of credit
will be sufficient to meet its short-term liquidity needs during 1998, which
include normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements, budgeted
expenditures for improvements to certain properties and distributions required
to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code.
However, the Company anticipates that it will continue to require outside
sources of financing to meet its long-term liquidity needs, such as scheduled
debt repayments and property acquisitions. At March 31, 1998, the Company has
committed to the purchase of approximately $112,000,000 of multifamily
communities and had an estimated cost to complete for construction in progress
of approximately $82,000,000.

DIVIDENDS

A cash dividend has been paid to shareholders each quarter since the Company's
inception in 1970. On February 24, 1997, the Company increased its dividend from
$1.38 per year to $1.44 per year. Total dividends paid to shareholders for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were $15,082,000 and $11,392,000
respectively.

     or commences a tender or exchange offer for 40 percent or more of the then

     4. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

     (a) Annual Grants in Lieu of Director Fees. Non-Employee Directors shall
receive the following Options in lieu of cash for serving on the Board and
attending meetings of the Board.

               (i) Initial Grants Upon Becoming a Non-Employee Director. Any
          person who becomes a Non-Employee Director shall automatically receive
          an Option for 25,000 Shares effective as of the date of their
          appointment or election to the Board.

               (ii) Subsequent Annual Grants. In addition to the Option grant
          provided for in subparagraph (i) above, each Non-Employee Director
          shall automatically receive an additional Option for 25,000 shares on
          each anniversary of the date of grant of the Option received pursuant
          to subparagraph (i) above.

     (b) Additional Annual Grant for Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the
Board shall receive, in addition to the annual Option granted under subparagraph
(a), an Option for 25,000 Shares upon becoming Chairman and an additional Option
for 25,000 Shares on each subsequent anniversary date.

     (c) Additional Annual Grants for Committee Membership. For serving on Board
committees, Non-Employee Directors (other than the Chairman of the Board) shall
receive an additional annual Option for 2,000 Shares for each committee the
director serves on, or for 6,000 Shares for serving as chairman of a committee,
to be granted initially on the date this amended Plan is approved by the
shareholders of the Company and thereafter on the date a director joins a
committee or becomes chairman, and on each subsequent anniversary of the initial
grant date; provided that, no individual shall receive annual Options for more
than 8,000 Shares pursuant to this subparagraph 4(c).

     (d) Annual Incentive Grants. In addition to the Options granted pursuant to
subparagraphs (a)-(c) above, each Non-Employee Director shall receive an Option
for the number of Shares set forth in the table below, following any fiscal year
of the Company that the growth in the Company's funds from operations per share
from the prior year, as determined by reference to the Company's annual
consolidated financial statements, exceeds the 50th percentile of the ten
largest publicly-traded multifamily Real Estate Investment Trusts based on total
assets:

           PERCENTILE     NO. OF SHARES
           ----------     -------------
               80-100     5,000

               50-80      5,000 multiplied by X/30, with X equal to the
                          percentile above 50 (e.g., the 70th percentile = 20/30
                          x 5,000 = 3,333 Shares)

               0-50       zero

     The grant date for Options granted pursuant to this paragraph shall be the
date, following publication of the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements, that the reference information for the comparison REITs first
becomes available.

     (e) Reload Grants. In the event an Optionee (1) exercises, in whole or in
part, any Option granted under this Plan (including an Option granted under this
Section 4(e)) by delivering (or attesting to ownership of) Shares instead of
paying cash, as permitted by subparagraph 7(c), or (2) pays tax withholding by
delivering Shares, or having Shares withheld, as permitted by subparagraph 7(g),
the Optionee, if then still a Non-Employee Director, shall automatically receive
on the date of such exercise a new Option (a "Reload Option") to purchase
additional Shares equal to the number of Shares so delivered to, or withheld by,
the Company. The Reload Option shall have an exercise price equal to the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date the Reload Option is granted, shall expire
the same date as the expiration date of the original Option so exercised, and
shall vest and become exercisable if the Optionee holds all of the new Shares
purchased (net of Shares withheld to pay taxes) under the original Option until
the first to occur of (i) 18 months after grant of the Reload Option or (ii) 12
months before the expiration of the Reload Option. However, a Reload Option
shall vest sooner upon the occurrence of any

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


of the following: (a) a Change in Control, (b) the Optionee's retirement from
the Board, or (c) the Optionee's death, disability, or personal hardship as
determined by the Committee.

     5. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued
pursuant to Options under the Plan shall be 1,550,000, subject to adjustment in
accordance with Section 8. In the event that any outstanding Option (other than
a Reload Option) shall expire or terminate for any reason, the Shares allocable
to the unused portion of that Option will again be available for additional
Options under the Plan. If an Option is exercised by delivery of Shares as
permitted by subparagraph 7(c), only the number of Shares issued upon exercise
net of the Shares so delivered shall be deemed utilized for purposes of
determining the maximum number of Shares available for future Options under the
Plan.

     6. TRANSFERABILITY. Except as permitted by the Committee in accordance with
the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to any
exemption from the short-swing profit provisions of Section 16(b) of that Act,
Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable by the holder other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable
during the holder's lifetime only by the holder or the holder's guardian or
legal representative.

     7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. The Options granted hereunder will not
be "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code. Each Option
Agreement shall state the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Option
Price, the Option period, the method of exercise, the manner of payment, any
restrictions on transfer, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee
shall determine consistent with the Plan and the following:

          (a) Option Price. The price to be paid for Shares upon the exercise of
     an Option shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
     the Option is granted.

          (b) Expiration of Option. No Option shall be exercisable after the
     expiration of ten years from the date of grant. A Reload Option shall
     expire as provided in subparagraph 4(e).

          (c) Payment of Option Price. Upon exercise of an Option, the Option
     Price for the Shares to which the exercise relates shall be paid in full
     (i) in cash or (ii) by delivery to the Company (including delivery by
     attestation of ownership) of Shares owned by the Optionee and valued at
     Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; provided that, any such
     already-owned Shares delivered to pay the exercise price, if originally
     acquired by the Optionee from the Company, shall have been held at least
     six months.

          (d) Vesting of Options. Each Option granted under subparagraphs
     4(a)-(c) shall vest and become exercisable as to 1/12 of the shares subject
     to the Option on each monthly anniversary date beginning on the grant date
     of the Option, subject to the Optionee's continuing service as a director,
     chairman or committee member, so that an Option shall have become fully
     vested one year after the grant date; provided that upon a Change in
     Control, all unvested options shall become fully vested. Incentive grants
     under subparagraph 4(d) shall be fully vested upon grant. A Reload Option
     shall vest as provided in subparagraph 4(e).

          (e) Termination of Director Status. Termination of an Optionee's
     status as a director of the Company shall not affect the ability of the
     Optionee or the Optionee's estate to exercise, until the expiration date
     thereof, any Options which have vested prior to the termination date.

          (f) Rights as Shareholder. No Optionee shall have rights as a
     shareholder with respect to Shares acquired under the Plan unless and until
     the stock certificates for such Shares are delivered to him or her.

          (g) Tax Withholding. Option exercises are subject to withholding of
     all applicable taxes, which withholding shall be satisfied by the
     Optionee's cash remittance or (to the extent permitted by the Committee)
     through the delivery or surrender to the Company of Shares, valued at Fair
     Market Value, which the Optionee owned prior to exercise or to which the
     Optionee is otherwise entitled

     upon exercise of an Option; provided that, any such already-owned Shares
     delivered to pay withholding taxes, if originally acquired by the Optionee
     from the Company, shall have been held at least six months.

     8. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS; REORGANIZATION. The aggregate number of Shares with
respect to which Options may be granted hereunder, the number of Shares thereof
covered by each outstanding Option and the purchase price per Share shall be
proportionately adjusted for changes in the capitalization of the Company
resulting from a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
exchange of shares, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or
other subdivision or consolidation of shares or the like. No fractional shares
shall be issued, and any fractional shares resulting from the adjustments
contemplated by this subparagraph shall be eliminated from the respective
Option.

     If the Company merges or consolidates with another entity and is not the
surviving entity, or if the Company is liquidated or sells or otherwise disposes
of substantially all its assets while unexercised Options remain outstanding
under the Plan, then either (a) after the effective date of the merger,
consolidation, liquidation, sale or other disposition, as the case may be, each
holder of any outstanding Option shall be entitled, upon exercise of an Option,
to receive, in lieu of Shares, the number and class or classes of shares of
stock or other securities or property to which the holder would have been
entitled if, immediately prior to the merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale
or other disposition, the holder had been the holder of record of a number of
Shares equal to the number of Shares as to which the Option may be exercised; or
(b) all Options, from and after a date at least 30 days prior to the effective
date of the merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or other disposition, as
the case may be, shall be exercisable in full and all outstanding Options which
are so exercisable prior to the effective date of such merger consolidation,
liquidation, sale or other disposition may be canceled by the Committee in its
discretion, as of such effective date.

     9. EXCHANGE ACT SECTION 16. Transactions under this Plan are intended to
comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor under the
Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Plan
administrators fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the
extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

     10. DURATION OF THE PLAN. This Amended and Restated Plan, as amended March
2, 1998, shall be deemed effective on March 2, 1998, if no later than March 1,
1999 the Plan has been approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company present and voting in person
or by proxy at a duly held shareholder meeting. If not so approved, the Plan as
previously amended shall remain in effect. The Plan shall terminate on October
1, 2005, but may be sooner terminated by the Board at any time. Expiration,
termination or amendment of the Plan will not affect any Options then
outstanding.

     11. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any
time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without the approval of
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the
Company present and voting at a duly held shareholder meeting, (i) increase the
maximum number of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the Plan, (ii)
change the purchase price, or (iii) change the Option period or increase the
time limitation on the grant of Options under the Plan.
