                                  PART I
Item 1.  Business
 (a)       General Development of Business   Urban Improvement Fund   1973,
a California limited partnership (the "Registrant"), was formed in 1973 for the
purpose of investing, through local real estate limited partnerships (LLP's), in
federally and state-assisted low and moderate income housing projects.  Units of
Limited Partnership Interest were sold in a public offering to investors who 
require tax shelter for income from other sources.  The Registrant acquired 
equity interests as a limited partner in twenty-six (26) such projects.  Six 
of these projects were sold through trustee's sales (foreclosures).  Edgewood
II Associates' property was sold through a resyndication in 1984.  The 
Edgewood II Associates partnership is still in existence with a note 
receivable for the sales proceeds of the property.  The remaining nineteen 
(19) properties are described in Item 2 hereof.

(b)Financial Information about Industry Segment   The Registrant is engaged in
only one line of business.

(c) Narrative Description of Business   The real estate business is highly 
competitive.  The Registrant competes with numerous established apartment 
owners and real estate developers of low-income housing having greater 
financial resources.  There is additional risk of new construction occurring 
in areas where the Registrant has invested in existing government-assisted 
housing projects. 

Moreover, the outlook for subsidized housing is not determinable, given existing
and proposed federal legislation.

   (d)Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export
sales.   The Registrant's income is entirely dependent upon distributions 
received from the limited partnerships in which it is a limited partner.  An
investment in a government-assisted housing is subject to significant 
regulations.  These regulations limit, among other things, the amount of 
return allowed on the initial equity investment, the manner in which such 
properties may be sold, and the persons to whom such properties may be sold.
In 1987, fearing the loss of affordable housing units, Congress passed 
emergency legislation which prohibited prepayment of all FHA insured Section 
236 or Section 221(d)(3) mortgages.  Congress passed additional legislation 
in 1990 known as LIHPRHA (the Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident 
Homeownership Act).  However, by 1995, Congress had determined the program 
was too expensive to continue.  In March 1996, Congress changed the 
compensation program, severely limited funding, and restored the property 
owners' right to prepay the FHA mortgages and change the use of the
properties under legislation known as the Housing Opportunity Program 
Extension Act of 1996.  The General Partner of the Partnership has initiated 
steps to ensure that the Local Limited Partnerships comply with the provisions 
of LIHPRHA and subsequent legislation.  See financial information in Item 6, 
Selected Financial Data, in this report.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.
   The Partnership has followed the practice of investing available funds, not 
used in the purchase of properties or in operations, into short-term 
investments.  Interest income resulted from such short-term investments.  The 
Partnership is dependent upon interest earned and the distributions and 
repayment of advances from Local Limited Partnerships for cash flow.  As 
shown in the table below, the Partnership has received distributions in 
recent years (including interest payments from the sale of Edgewood II).  
This trend is expected to continue.  The Partnership has advanced funds and
received repayments of such advances from selected partnerships.  The General
Partner does not believe these net advances will significantly affect the 
operations of the Partnership.

                     1996         1995         1994          1993          1992
Urban's share

      Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
required to pay the General Partner an annual management fee equal to
one-quarter of one percent of invested assets or $133,770.  (The fee will not be
more than fifty percent of the Partnership's annual net cash flow as defined,
subject to an annual minimum of $60,000.)  The Partnership recorded
management fee expense of $88,387,  $92,017, $115,297, $69,392 and $79,714
during 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The Partnership will also
pay the General Partner a liquidation fee for the sale of projects.  The 
liquidation fee is the lesser of  (i) ten percent of the net proceeds to the 
Partnership from the sale of a project(s) or (ii) one percent of the sales 
price plus three percent of the net proceeds after deducting an amount 
sufficient to pay long-term capital gains taxes.  No part of such fee shall 
accrue or be paid unless: (i) the Limited Partners' share of the proceeds has 
been distributed to them, (ii) the Limited Partners shall have first received 
an amount equal to their invested capital attributable to the project(s) sold, 
and (iii) the Limited Partners have received an amount sufficient to pay 
long-term capital gains taxes from the sale of the project(s), if any, 
calculated at the maximum rate then in effect.  Other operating expenses have 
maintained a consistent level.

  At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had investments in nineteen active real
estate limited partnerships as a Limited Partner.  The Partnership carries such
investments on the equity method of accounting.  The Partnership discontinues
recording losses for financial reporting purposes when its investment in a
particular Local Limited Partnership is reduced to zero, unless the Partnership
intends to commit additional funds to the Local Limited Partnership.  The 
equity in income of Local Limited Partnerships resulted from either Local 
Limited Partnerships, whose investments have not been reduced to zero, 
reporting income from operations or Local Limited Partnerships, whose 
investments have been reduced to zero, who paid distributions or repaid an 
advance.  Additional advances to Local Limited Partnerships, after an 
investment is reduced to zero, are recorded as losses. The real estate of 
Edgewood II Associates was sold during 1984.  The Partnership holds a note 
receivable that accrues interest.

The components of the Partnerships' equity in net income of the Local Limited
Partnerships for 1996, 1995 and 1994 is summarized as follows:

      The actual combined losses of Local Limited Partnerships will generally
decrease as depreciation and interest decreases and the Partnerships achieve
stable operations.  The distributions to the Partnership from Local Limited
Partnerships are the result of the profitable operations of these Partnerships.

Liquidity
  The Partnership is dependent upon distributions from its investments in Local
Limited Partnership for cash flow.  The Partnership may not be able to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations or from distributions from its interests in
Local Limited Partnerships to pay future obligations as they become due without
additional financing or advances from the General Partner.  The General Partner 
is under no obligation to advance additional funds to the Partnership.  The 
General Partner, however, anticipates it will receive adequate distributions 
from the Local Limited  Partnerships to maintain operations.

Capital Resources
     The General Partner believes that situations may arise where it would be
advantageous to the Partnership to exchange properties in a tax-free 
transaction.  The Partnership's basis in its properties has been reduced through
depreciation deductions and other losses to levels substantially below the 
amount of debt secured by the Properties.  Additionally, the rental 
properties owned and operated by the Local Limited Partnerships have typically 
computed depreciation for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line 
method over the estimated economic useful life of the property.  For income tax 
reporting  purposes, depreciation generally has been computed over the same or 
shorter periods using accelerated methods.  As a result, the carrying values of 
the Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships are substantially 
greater for financial reporting purposes than for income tax reporting purposes.
Upon sale or other disposition of a property by the Local Limited Partnership, 
the gain recognized by the Partnership for income tax reporting purposes may be 
substantially greater than the gain recorded for financial reporting purposes. 
Accordingly, if the Properties are sold, the Partners may recognize taxable 
gain in excess of the cash available for distribution.  If sale proceeds are 
reinvested in a manner which permits the original sale to be treated as a 
like-kind exchange, the Partners can defer this gain until the new property is 
sold. Additionally, the Partnership will receive the benefit of any cash flow or
appreciation in value of the new property.  If reinvestments were made, it is 
likely that the acquired properties would be conventional, multi-family 
residential projects.  The Partnership has had inquiries about the sale or 
exchange of properties in its portfolio, but no offers have been made.

The partnership has made no material commitments for capital expenditures.

                     INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To The Partners
Urban Improvement Fund Limited   1973

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Urban Improvement Fund
Limited   1973 (a Limited Partnership), as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related statements of income, changes in partners' capital and cash flows 
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and the related schedules
listed in Item 14(a)(2) of the annual report on Form 10-K of Urban Improvement
Fund Limited  1973 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. 
These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement 
schedules based on our audits.  We did not audit the financial statements of 
five of Urban Improvement Fund Limited 1973's investments in local limited 
partnerships whose combined financial statements are included in Note 4.  These 
statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to 
us, and our opinion, to the extent it relates to the amounts included for these 
local limited partnership investments, is based solely on the reports of the 
other auditors.  Urban Improvement Fund Limited   1973's investment in these 
Partnerships were reduced to zero at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the 
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Urban Improvement Fund Limited 1973 as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the 
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  In addition, in our opinion, based upon our 
audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statement schedules 
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information 
required therein.

Note 1   Organization and Accounting Policies

    Organization

Urban Improvement Fund Limited   1973 (the Partnership) was formed under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act on February 2, 1973, for the 
principal purpose of investing in other limited partnerships (Local Limited 
Partnerships), which own federal and state-assisted housing projects.  The 
Partnership issued 11,811 units of limited partnership interest pursuant to a 
public offering of such units which terminated in October 1973.  The General 
Partner, Interfinancial Real Estate Management Company, invested $621,316.

The Urban Improvement Fund Limited   1973 prospectus, dated June 27, 1973,
specified that the General Partner has approximately a five percent interest in
profits, losses and special allocations, and the limited partners will share the
remainder of the interest in profits, losses and special allocations in 
proportion to their respective units of limited partnership interests.

    Investment in and Advances to Local Limited Partnerships

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has investments in nineteen active real
estate limited partnerships (Local Limited Partnerships) which are accounted for
on the equity method (Notes 4 and 5).  The investment account represents the
sum of the capital investments, advances and unamortized cost of acquisition 
less the Partnership's share in losses since the date of acquisition.  The 
Partnership discontinues recognizing losses and amortizing cost of acquisition 
when the investment in a particular Local Limited Partnership is reduced to 
zero, unless the Partnership intends to commit additional funds to the Local 
Limited Partnership.  Repayment of advances and cash distributions by the Local 
Limited Partnerships, after the Partnership investment has been reduced to zero,
are recognized as income by the Partnership in the year received.  Additional 
advances to a Local Limited Partnership, after an investment is reduced to zero,
are recognized as losses. Initial and rent-up fees paid by the Partnership to 
the General Partner, deducted when paid for income tax purposes, are capitalized
as costs of acquisition of the Local Limited Partnerships for financial 
reporting purposes.  These costs and other costs of acquisition are amortized 
using the straight-line method over the useful lives (forty years) of the Local
Limited Partnership's properties.  Amortization is discontinued when the 
investment is reduced to zero.

The Partnership has an investment in one limited partnership that sold its real
estate during 1984 (Note 5).  This partnership, Edgewood II Associates, holds a
note receivable for a portion of the sales proceeds.

The Partnerships' equity in income of the Local Limited Partnerships is
summarized as follows:
                                                    For the Year Ended
                                                       December 31,

  Partnerships                        $1,305,678     $1,190,208      $  684,090 

Significant accounting policies followed by the Local Limited Partnerships are
summarized in Note 4.

  Taxes on Income

No provision for taxes on income has been recorded, since all taxable income or
loss of the Partnership is allocated to the partners for inclusion in their 
respective tax returns.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Use of Estimates

The Partnership estimates that the aggregate fair value of all financial 
instruments at December 31, 1996 does not differ materially from the 
aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the balance 
sheet.  These estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the 
Partnership could realize in a current market exchange.  The preparation of 
financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions.  Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. 

  Cash Equivalents

Marketable securities that are highly liquid and have maturities of three 
months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

The Partnership has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the
basis of the limited partners' interests in the Partnership will include the
Partnership's allocable share of basis resulting from mortgage debt of the Local
Limited Partnerships under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code.

For tax purposes, the Partnership uses the accrual method of accounting.  The
Partnership deducted initial and rent-up fees when paid and takes into account 
its share of tax losses of the Local Limited Partnerships.  The Local Limited
Partnerships use the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes and, during
the construction years of 1972 through 1975, deducted property taxes, interest
and other carrying costs during construction as well as substantial amounts of
payments to the respective general partners for various services rendered and
costs incurred by the general partners of the Local Limited Partnerships.

Note 3   Management of Urban Improvement Fund Limited   1973

Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is 
required to pay the General Partner an annual management fee equal to 
one-quarter  of one percent of invested assets or $133,770.  (The fee will 
not be more than fifty percent of the Partnership's annual net cash flow as 
defined, subject to an annual minimum of $60,000.)  The Partnership recorded 
management fee expense of $88,387 during 1996, $92,017 during 1995 and $115,297
during 1994.  The Partnership will also pay the General Partner a liquidation 
fee for the sale of projects.  The liquidation fee is the lesser of (i) ten 
percent of the net proceeds to the Partnership from the sale of a project(s) 
or (ii) one percent of the sales price plus three percent of the net proceeds 
after deducting an amount sufficient to pay long-term capital gains taxes.  
No part of such fee shall accrue or be paid unless: (i) the Limited Partners'
share of the proceeds has been distributed to them, (ii) the Limited Partners 
shall have first received an amount equal to their invested capital attributable
to the project(s) sold, and (iii) the Limited Partners have received an amount 
sufficient to pay long-term capital gains taxes from the sale of the project(s),
if any, calculated at the maximum rate then in effect.

The General Partner of the partnership is a corporation which Paul H. Pfleger 
has a majority interest.  Partnership Services, Inc. (PSI), another corporation
in which Paul H. Pfleger is a majority shareholder, has contracted with the 
General Partner and the Partnership to provide certain management and other 
services to any projects in which the Partnership has an interest.  No fees 
were paid to PSI during 1996, 1995 or 1994.  In addition, as shown in the 
following table, PSI has become the General Partner in fourteen of the Local 
Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has investments:

         Cost of Buildings

For financial statement purposes, the Local Limited Partnerships generally
capitalized all project costs, including payments to the general partners, 
interest, taxes, carrying costs and operating expenses offset by incidental 
rental income, up to the cutoff date for cost certification purposes.  For 
income tax purposes, certain of these amounts were deducted when paid.

         Depreciation and Amortization

For financial statement purposes, depreciation is computed using the 
straight-line and various accelerated methods over useful lives of twenty to 
forty years from the date of completion of the building or rehabilitation.  
For income tax purposes, buildings are depreciated over twenty to forty years 
using various accelerated methods, and certain rehabilitation costs are 
amortized on the straight-line method over sixty months under the provisions 
of section 167(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Certain expenses related to obtaining permanent financing for the partnerships
have been deferred and are being amortized for financial statement purposes 
using the straight-line method over periods of twenty to forty years.

         Mortgage Notes Payable

The Partnerships have mortgages which are payable to or are insured by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Massachusetts
Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) totaling $33,196,352 at December, 1996
($20,062,663 by HUD and $13,133,689 by MHFA) and $33,939,855 at December,
1995 ($20,556,542 by HUD and $13,383,313 by MHFA).  The mortgage notes
payable are secured by deeds of trust on rental property and bear interest at 
rates from 6.9 percent to 8.5 percent per annum.  The mortgages are payable 
in monthly installments of principal and interest aggregating approximately 
$271,000 over periods of forty years.  HUD will make interest reduction 
payments on the mortgages of eight Local Limited Partnerships which have 
mortgages insured under Section 236 in amounts which will reduce the mortgage 
payments to those required for mortgages carrying a one percent interest rate.
The scheduled principal reductions for the next five years are as follows:

              Year Ended December 31,                        Amount   

                         1997                          $   842,834

  National Housing Act Subsidies and Restrictions

Under terms of the regulatory agreement with HUD and MHFA, the Local Limited
Partnerships cannot make cash distributions to partners of the Local Limited
Partnerships in excess of six percent per annum of stated equity in the 
respective partnerships.  Such distributions are cumulative but can only be 
paid from "surplus cash," as defined in the agreements.  The Local Limited 
Partnerships must deposit all cash in excess of the distributable amounts 
into residual receipts funds which are under the control of the mortgagees, 
and from which disbursements must be approved by HUD.  As of December 31, 
1996, approximately $2,823,898 could be paid to partners of the Local Limited 
Partnerships as surplus cash becomes available.

Under terms of the regulatory agreements, the Local Limited Partnerships are
required to make monthly deposits into replacement funds which are under the
control of the mortgagees.  Such deposits commence with the initial principal
payments on the mortgage loans.  Expenditures from the replacement funds must
be approved by HUD. 

Five Local Limited Partnerships (LLP's) entered into flexible subsidy contracts
with HUD.  Under the terms of the contracts, HUD contributed $1,226,162 to the 
Local Limited Partnerships between 1980 and 1982.  These amounts were allocated
$1,168,171 to Urban Improvement Fund Limited   1973 and $57,989 to other
partners. The partners contributed $138,805 in 1981 and 1980 to the capital 
of the LLP's.  Such funds were used for improving LLP properties.

All of the Local Limited Partnerships have entered into rent supplement and/or
Section 8 contracts with HUD or state agencies to provide financial assistance 
to qualified tenants of the apartment units.  Under terms of these contracts, 
HUD will pay a portion of the rent on behalf of qualified tenants.  The maximum 
dollar amount of these payments is limited by HUD.  A substantial portion of 
rental income is collected through these contracts.  During 1996, 1995 and 
1994, the Local Limited Partnerships received approximately $7,877,000, 
$7,643,000 and $8,536,000, respectively, in rent supplement and Section 8 funds.

Substantially all notes payable represent residual receipts notes payable by
several Local Limited Partnerships.  These notes are payable to the former 
general partners upon sale of the property after a provision for income taxes 
resulting from the gain from such sales and the return of contributed capital 
and advances plus interest to the Partnership.  The residual receipt notes 
payable totaled $1,466,624 at December 31, 1996 and $1,462,890 at December 31, 
1995.

         Management

The Local Limited Partnerships have entered into property management contracts
with various agents under which the agents are paid property management fees of
approximately five percent to fifteen percent of the gross revenues of the
respective projects.  Most of the management agents are affiliated with or are 
the general partners of the Local Limited Partnerships.  

Note 5   Sale of the Assets of Edgewood II Associates

The property of Edgewood II Associates was sold during 1984.  The sales price of
$8,270,146 was composed of a cash payment of $1,215,000, the assumption of
the underlying mortgage of $4,855,146 and an installment payment of $2,200,000
that is due on December 31, 1999 along with accrued interest.  Urban 73's share
of the final installment is $1,650,000 with the balance due to the Local General
Partner.  Interest accrues at nine and one-half percent per annum and is payable
on the anniversary date of the note to the extend of seventy five percent of the
property's distributable cash flow.  The gain on the sale of the real estate is
recognized on the cost recovery method to first recognize the recovery of the
asset value, then recognize the gain as the proceeds are received.  For the 
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership received and 
recorded as interest income of zero, $15,462 and $16,340, respectively.
