POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER UNIT DATA)


1.  ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

    ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY
    Post Apartment Homes, L.P.  (the "Company"), a Georgia limited partnership,
    was formed on January 22, 1993, to conduct the business of developing,
    leasing and managing upscale multi-family apartment communities for Post
    Properties, Inc. ("PPI" or "General Partner").

    PPI elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for
    Federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December
    31, 1993.  A REIT is a legal entity which holds real estate interests and,
    through payments of dividends to shareholders, in practical effect is not
    subject to Federal income taxes at the corporate level.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the
    Company's management in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles for interim financial information and applicable  rules and
    regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they
    do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
    accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
    opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally
    recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
    been included. The results of operations for the six month period ended
    June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
    expected for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes
    thereto  included in the Post Apartment Homes, L.P. Form 10 for the year
    ended December 31, 1995.

2.  EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

    The extraordinary item for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
    resulted from costs associated with the early extinguishment of
    indebtedness.

3.  EARNINGS PER UNIT

    Earnings per unit for income before extraordinary item and net income has
    been computed by dividing income before extraordinary item and net income
    by the weighted average number of units outstanding.   The weighted average
    numbers of units outstanding utilized in the calculations are 26,850,337
    and 22,831,993 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
    respectively, and 26,818,135 and 22,684,488 for the six months ended June
    30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    The non-recurring extraordinary items recognized in the three and six
    months ended June 30, 1995 had the effect of reducing earnings per unit by
    $.03 and $.04, respectively, based on the weighted average number of units
    outstanding.

4.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

    Non-cash investing and financing activities for the three months ended June
    30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

         (a) The Company committed to distribute $14,504 and $11,211 for the
             quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with all of the
financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. The following
discussion is based primarily on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Post
Apartment Homes, L.P.

As of June 30, 1996, there were 26,859,783 units outstanding, of which
21,774,940, or 81.1%, were owned by PPI and 5,084,843, or 18.9% were owned by
other limited partners (including certain officers and directors of PPI.).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, AND 1995

The Company  recorded net income of $24,875 for the six months ended June 30,
1996, an increase of $9,187 over the prior corresponding period primarily as a
result of increased rental rates for fully stabilized communities and an
increase in apartment units placed in service.

COMMUNITY OPERATIONS

The Company's net income is generated primarily from the operation of its
apartment communities.  For purposes of evaluating comparative operating
performance, the Company categorizes its operating communities based on the
period each community reaches stabilized occupancy.  A community is generally
considered by the Company to have achieved stabilized occupancy on the earlier
to occur of (i) attainment of 95% physical occupancy on the first day of any
month or (ii) one year after completion of construction.

Currently, the Company's portfolio of apartment communities consists of
thirty-seven communities and the first phase of two additional communities
which were completed and stabilized for all of the current and prior year,
three communities and the second phase of an existing community which achieved
full stabilization during the prior year, four communities and the second phase
of an existing community which reached stabilization during 1996, one community
which was acquired during 1996 and six communities in the development or
lease-up stage.

For communities with respect to which construction is completed and the
community has become fully operational, all property operating and maintenance
expenses are expensed as incurred and those recurring and non-recurring
expenditures relating to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value
of an existing asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an existing
asset are capitalized. (See "Capitalization of Fixed Assets and Community
Improvements").

The Company has adopted an accounting policy related to communities in the
development and lease-up stage whereby substantially all operating expenses
(including pre-opening marketing expenses) are expensed as incurred.  The
Company treats each unit in an apartment community separately for cost
accumulation, capitalization and expense recognition purposes.  Prior to the
commencement of leasing activities, interest and other construction costs are
capitalized and reflected on the balance sheet as construction in progress.
Once a unit is placed in service, all operating expenses allocated to that
unit, including interest, are expensed as incurred.  During the lease-up phase,
the sum of interest expense on completed units and other operating expenses
(including pre-opening marketing expenses) will typically exceed rental
revenues, resulting in a "lease-up deficit", which continues until such time as
rental revenues exceed such expenses.

CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER UNIT AND PER APARTMENT UNIT DATA)

Therefore, in order to evaluate the operating performance of its communities,
the Company has presented financial information which summarizes the operating
income on a comparative basis for all of its operating communities combined
and for communities which have reached stabilization prior to January 1, 1995.
The Company has also presented quarterly financial information reflecting the
dilutive impact of lease-up deficits incurred for communities in the
development and lease-up stage and not yet operating at break-even.  In this
presentation, only those communities which were dilutive during the period are
included and, accordingly, different communities may be included in each
period.

ALL OPERATING COMMUNITIES

The operating performance for all of the Company's apartment communities
combined for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 is
summarized as follows:

(1) Communities which reached stabilization prior to January 1, 1995.
(2) On May 7, 1996, the Company reacquired three contiguous Atlanta apartment
    communities containing a total of 810 units which the Company now operates
    as a single community.
(3) Communities in the "construction", "development" or "lease-up" stage 
    during 1996 and, therefore, not considered fully stabilized for all of 
    the periods presented.
(4) Three communities, containing 568 units, which were sold on September 13,
    1995.  
(5) Other revenue includes revenue on furnished apartment rentals above
    the unfurnished rental rates and any revenue not directly related to 
    property operations.
(6) Other expenses includes certain indirect central office operating expenses
    related to management, grounds maintenance, and costs associated with
    furnished apartment rentals.
(7) In addition to those expenses which relate to property operations, the
    Company incurs recurring and non-recurring expenditures relating to
    acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset,
    or substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset, all of
    which are capitalized.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, rental and other revenue
increased $6,841, or 20.4% and $12,534, or 19.2%, respectively, compared to the
same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of increased rates for
fully stabilized communities, an increase in units placed in service and the
acquisition of a community, partially offset by a decrease in rental and other
revenue due to the sale of three communities during the third quarter of 1995.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, rental and other revenue from
communities stabilized prior to January 1, 1995, increased $1,620, or 5.4% and
$3,355, or 5.7%, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year,
primarily as a result of higher rental rates. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996, rental and other revenue from communities stabilized
during 1995, development and lease-up communities and acquired communities
increased, in the aggregate, $6,260 and $11,122, respectively, compared to the
same periods in the prior year, primarily due to additional units placed in
service through the development and acquisition of communities.  The historical
operating results include, for the six months ended June 30, 1995, revenues and
expenses related to three communities sold on September 13, 1995, all of which
had previously been included in the fully stabilized communities group.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, property operating and maintenance
expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased, compared to
the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the increase in the units
placed in service through the development and acquisition of communities.

FULLY STABILIZED COMMUNITIES

The Company defines fully stabilized communities as those which have reached
stabilization prior to the beginning of the previous calendar year.

The operating performance of the 37 communities and the first phase of two
additional communities containing an aggregate of 14,160 units which were fully
stabilized as of January 1, 1995, is summarized as follows:

    acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset,
    or substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset, all of
    which are capitalized.

(2) In addition to such capitalized expenditures, the Company expensed $160 and
    $280 per unit on building maintenance (inclusive of direct salaries) and
    $72 and $115 per unit on landscaping (inclusive of direct salaries) for the
    three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.

(3) Average economic occupancy is defined as gross potential rent less vacancy
    losses, model expenses and bad debt divided by gross potential rent for the
    period, expressed as a percentage.  The calculation of average economic
    occupancy does not include a deduction for concessions and employee
    discounts.  (Average economic occupancy, including these amounts would have
    been 95.2% and 95.6% and 95.0% and 95.5% for the three and six months ended
    June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.)  For the three months ended June 30,
    1996 and 1995, concessions were $81 and $79 and employee discounts were $65
    and $63, respectively.  Concessions were $143 and $141 and employee
    discounts were $136 and $122 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
    1995, respectively.

(4) Average monthly rental rate is defined as the average of the gross actual
    rental rates for occupied units and the anticipated rental rates for
    unoccupied units.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER UNIT AND PER APARTMENT UNIT DATA)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, rental and other revenue
increased, compared to the same periods in the prior year, due to higher rental
rates.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, property operating
and maintenance expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased
$291, or 2.8%, and $784, or 4.0%, respectively, compared to the same period in
the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in ad valorem real estate
taxes.

The increase in recurring capital expenditures per apartment unit for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in the prior
year, is due to the refurbishment of leasing offices and other common areas
within the communities.

LEASE-UP DEFICITS

As noted in the overview of Community Operations, the Company has adopted an
accounting policy related to communities in the development and lease-up stage
whereby substantially all operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing
expenses) are expensed as incurred.  The Company treats each unit in an
apartment community  separately  for cost accumulation, capitalization and
expense recognition purposes.  Prior to the commencement of leasing activities,
interest as well as other construction costs are capitalized and reflected on
the balance sheet as construction in progress.  Once a unit is placed in
service, all expenses allocated to that unit, including interest, are expensed
as incurred.  During the lease-up phase, the sum of interest expense on
completed units and other operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing
expenses) will typically exceed rental revenues, resulting in a "lease-up
deficit", which continues until rental revenues exceed such expenses.

In this presentation, only those communities which were dilutive for the
respective period are included and, accordingly, different communities may be
included in different quarters.

For the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 1996, the "lease-up deficit"
charged to and included in results of operations are summarized  as follows:

THIRD PARTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Company provides asset management, leasing and other consulting services to
non-related owners of apartment communities through two of its subsidiaries,
RAM Partners, Inc. ("RAM") and Post Asset Management, Inc. ("Post Asset

The increase in property management revenues and expenses from each of the 1995

and the average gross revenues of units managed.

</TABLE>

Property management revenues and the related expenses decreased for each of the
periods in 1996,  compared to the same periods in 1995, primarily due to the
reduction in the average  number of apartment units managed.  This reduction
was primarily due to two management contracts which were cancelled effective
January 1996.  The Company expects income from Post Asset Management to
continue to decline as contracts are cancelled and not replaced.

</TABLE>


The increase in landscape services revenue and landscape service expense for
each of the periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995,
is primarily due to increases in landscape contracts.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES

General and administrative expense increased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a
result of increased travel expenses and personnel costs.

The extraordinary item of $648 and $803 for the three and six months ended June
30, 1995, respectively, resulted from the costs associated with the early
retirement of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased from $33,856
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $43,408 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, principally due to an increase in the Company's net income.   Net
cash used in investing activities increased from $67,606  in the six months
ended June 30, 1995 to $98,170 in the six months ended June 30, 1996,
principally due to the increase in construction activities relating to new
development and acquisition of new communities.  The Company's net cash
provided by financing activities decreased from $49,262 in the six months ended
June 30, 1995 to $47,378 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to an
increase in net borrowing activity to fund development offset by a decrease in
contributions from PPI of cash proceeds from the Dividend Reinvestment Plan
and an increase in distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

PPI has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993.  REITs are subject to
a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a
requirement that they currently distribute 95% of their ordinary taxable
income.  The Company makes distributions to enable PPI to satisfy this
requirement.  As a REIT, PPI generally will not be subject to Federal income
tax on net income.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had total indebtedness of $421,378 and cash and
cash equivalents of $1,624.  The Company's indebtedness includes approximately
$33,340 in conventional mortgages payable secured by individual communities,
tax- exempt bond indebtedness of $149,038, senior unsecured notes of $100,000
and borrowings under an unsecured line of credit of approximately $139,000.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its net cash provided by operations and borrowings under credit
arrangements and expects to meet certain of its long-term liquidity
requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, repayment of financing of
construction and development activities and possible property acquisitions,
through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings and the issuance of debt
securities or additional equity securities of the Company, sales of
communities, or, possibly in connection with acquisitions of land or improved
properties, units of the Company.  The Company believes that its net cash
provided by operations will be adequate and anticipates that it will continue
to be adequate to meet both operating requirements and payment of distributions
by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements, of which PPI is subject
to, in both the short and the long term.  The budgeted expenditures for
improvements and renovations to certain of the communities are expected to be
funded from property operations.

Line Of Credit
On February 1, 1995, the Company closed a 39-month unsecured revolving line of
credit (the "Revolver") in the amount of $180,000 with a bank syndicate to
provide funding for future construction, acquisitions and general business
obligations.  Borrowings under the Revolver initially bore interest at LIBOR
plus 1.50% or prime minus .25% and had a maturity date of May 1, 1998.  On
March 1, 1996, the Revolver was amended to reduce the interest rate to LIBOR
plus 0.95% or prime minus .25% and to extend the maturity to May 1, 1999.  The
amendment also provides for the rate to be adjusted up or down based on changes
in the credit ratings on the Company's senior unsecured debt.   On June 4, 1996,
the rating on the Company's senior unsecured debt by Standard and Poor's was
raised to BBB+  which further reduced the interest rate on the Revolver to its
current rate of LIBOR plus .80% or prime minus .25%.  The credit agreement for
the Revolver contains customary representations, covenants and events of
default, including covenants which restrict the ability of the Company to make
distributions, in excess of stated amounts.  In general, during any fiscal year
the Company may only distribute up to 100% of the Company's consolidated income
available for distribution (as defined in the credit agreement) exclusive of
distributions of up to $30,000 of capital gains for such year.  The credit
agreement contains exceptions to these limitations to allow the Company to make
distributions necessary to allow PPI to maintain its status as a REIT.  The
Company does not anticipate that this covenant will adversely affect its
ability to make required distributions.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had $41,000 available under the Revolver to fund
future development and general corporate obligations.

In addition, the Company has a $3,000 facility to provide letters of credit for
general business purposes.

Northwestern Mutual Unsecured Loans
On June 7, 1995, the Company privately placed $50,000 of unsecured senior notes
with The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (the "NML Notes"). The NML
Notes were in two tranches: the first, aggregating $30,000, carries an interest
rate of  8.21% per annum (1.25% over the corresponding treasury rate on the
date such rate was set) and

matures on June 7, 2000; and the second, aggregating $20,000 carries an
interest rate of 8.37% per annum (1.35% over the corresponding treasury rate on
the date such rate was set) and matures on June 7, 2002.  Proceeds from the
issuance of the NML Notes were used to reduce secured indebtedness and to pay
down the Revolver.  The note agreements pursuant to which the NML Notes were
purchased contain representations, covenants and events of default similar to
those contained in the note agreement for the Revolver.

Wachovia Unsecured Loans
On September 29, 1995, the Company privately placed $50,000 of unsecured senior
notes with Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A. (the "Wachovia Notes"). The Wachovia
Notes were in two tranches: the first tranche, aggregating  $25,000, will
mature on September 29, 1999; the second tranche, aggregating $25,000 will
mature on September 29, 2001.  Both tranches bear interest at 7.15% per annum
(1.10% over the corresponding treasury rate on the date such rate was set).
Proceeds from the issuance of the Wachovia Notes were used to reduce
indebtedness outstanding on the Revolver.  The credit agreement for the notes
contain representations, covenants and events of default similar to those
contained in the note agreement for the Revolver.

Tax Exempt Bonds
On June 29, 1995, the Company replaced the bank letters of credit providing
credit enhancement for twelve of its outstanding tax-exempt bonds and three of
its economically defeased tax-exempt bonds. Under an agreement with the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), FNMA now provides, directly or
indirectly through other bank letters of credit, credit enhancement with
respect to such bonds. Under the terms of such agreement, FNMA has provided
replacement credit enhancement through 2025 for five bond issues, aggregating
$52,675, which were reissued, and has agreed, subject to certain conditions,
to provide credit enhancement through June 1, 2025 for up to an additional
$101,853 with respect to ten other bond issues which mature and may be refunded
in 1996 through 1998.  The agreement with FNMA contains representations,
covenants, and events of default customary to such secured loans.

Other Activities
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company  reacquired three contiguous
Atlanta apartment communities, containing 810 units, which the Company
developed in the early 1980's and managed under the Post(R) brand name through
mid-1993.  The Company's capital investment, after capital improvements, will
be approximately $48 million, or $59,000 per unit.  The Company is operating
these communities as one under the name Post Creek(TM).

In addition, the Company listed in April 1996 two communities in Florida,
containing a total of 596 units, for sale.  On July 19, 1996, one of the
communities, containing 180 units, was sold.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") is available to all shareholders of

(1)  All of the mortgages can be prepaid at any time, subject to certain
     prepayment penalties.  All dates listed are final maturity dates assuming
     the exercise of any available extension option by the Company.
(2)  Bond financed (interest rate on bonds + credit enhancement fees).
(3)  These bonds are also secured by Post Fountains(TM) at Lee Vista, Post
     Lake(R) (Orlando) and the Fountains and Meadows of Post Village(R) for
     which the Company has economically defeased their respective bond
     indebtedness.
(4)  Subject to certain conditions at re-issuance, the credit enhancement runs
     to June 1, 2025.  
(5)  On July 1, 1996, this bond was refunded with an issue having a maturity of
     June 1, 2025 and an interest rate of SunTrust Bank, Atlanta Non-ATM "AAA" 
     tax free rate plus a credit enhancement fee of .575%.  
(6)  On August 1, 1996, this bond was refunded with an issue having a maturity 
     of June 1, 2025 and an interest rate of SunTrust Bank, Atlanta Non-ATM 
     "AAA" tax free rate plus a credit enhancement fee of .575%.

Refundable Tax Exempt Bonds
The Company has previously issued tax-exempt bonds, secured by certain
communities, totalling  $235,880, of which $86,842  has been economically
defeased, leaving $149,038 of principal amount of tax-exempt bonds outstanding
at June 30, 1996.  As of June 30, 1996, $52,675 of the bonds outstanding have
been reissued with a maturity of June 1, 2025.  The remaining outstanding
bonds, together with the economically defeased bonds, mature and may be
reissued, during the years 1996 through 1998. The Company has chosen economic
defeasance of the bond obligations rather than a legal defeasance in order to
preserve the legal right to refund such obligations on a tax-exempt basis at
the stated maturity if the Company then determines that such refunding is
beneficial to the Company.

The following table shows the amount of bonds (both defeased and outstanding)
at June 30, 1996, which the Company may reissue during the years 1996 through
2025:

(1)  Represents estimated total development costs, including capitalized
     construction costs, lease-up deficits, and all construction period
     interest.
(2)  Construction cost incurred to date includes all costs associated with the
     development and lease-up of the community, including interest and other
     start-up costs which are expensed in the Company's consolidated financial
     statements. These costs which were expensed amounted to approximately $359
     at June 30, 1996.


The Company has also acquired a parcel in Atlanta on which it plans to build a
new community.  The Home Depot, Inc. is constructing its corporate headquarters
campus and extensive infrastructure improvements are being made by the county
adjacent to the parcel.  The Company will review its development plan for this
parcel closer to completion of these improvements.  The Company is also
currently conducting feasibility and other pre-development studies for possible
new Post(R) communities in its primary market areas.

Capitalization of Fixed Assets and Community Improvements
The Company has established a policy of capitalizing those expenditures
relating to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing
asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset.  All
expenditures necessary to maintain a community in ordinary operating condition
are expensed as incurred.  During the first five years of a community (which
corresponds to the estimated depreciable life), carpet replacements are
expensed as incurred.  Thereafter, carpet replacements are capitalized.

Acquisition of assets and community improvement expenditures for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are summarized as follows:

INFLATION

Substantially all of the leases at the communities allow, at the time of
renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus may enable
the Company to seek increases in rents.  The substantial majority of these
leases are for one year or less and the remaining leases are for up to two
years.  At the expiration of a lease term, the Company's lease agreements
provide that the term will be extended unless either the Company or the lessee
gives at least sixty (60) days written notice of termination; in addition, the
Company's policy permits the earlier termination of a lease by a lessee upon
thirty (30) days written notice to the Company and the payment of one month's
additional rent as compensation for early termination.  The short-term nature
of these leases generally serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the
adverse effect of inflation.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

Historical Funds from Operations
The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO") an appropriate measure of
performance of an equity REIT.  Funds from operations is defined to mean net
income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation of real estate
assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures.  FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's financial
performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance
with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily
indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs.  Cash
available for distribution ("CAD") is defined as FFO less capital expenditures
funded by operations and loan amortization payments.  The Company believes that
in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical
operating results of the Company, FFO  and CAD should be examined in
conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated financial
statements and data included elsewhere in this report.

FFO and CAD for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 presented on a
historical basis are summarized in the following table:

POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER UNIT AND PER APARTMENT UNIT DATA)


(1)       The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment
          Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO which was adopted for periods
          beginning after January 1, 1996.  FFO for any period means the
          Consolidated Net Income of the Company and its subsidiaries for such
          period excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of
          property plus depreciation of real estate assets, and after
          adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, all
          determined on a consistent basis in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles.  FFO presented herein is not
          necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate
          companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the
          same definition.  However, the Company's FFO is comparable to the FFO
          of real estate companies that use the current NAREIT definition.

(2)       Recurring capital expenditures consisted primarily of $410 and $433
          of carpet replacement and $982 and  $333 of other additions and
          improvements to existing communities for the six months ended June
          30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Since the Company does not add back
          the depreciation of non-real estate assets in its calculation of FFO,
          capital expenditures of $339 and $407 are excluded from the
          calculation of CAD for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
          respectively.

(3)       Non-recurring capital expenditures consisted of community additions
          and improvements of $743 and $362, for the six months ended June 30,
          1996 and 1995, respectively, and the addition of vehicle access
          control gates to communities of $32 and $323 for the six months ended
          June 30, 1996 and  1995, respectively.
