ITEM 5.    OTHER EVENTS

Apartment Community Acquisitions:
- ---------------------------------

Gables Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership" or the "Company")
is the entity through which Gables Residential Trust (the "Parent  Company"),  a
self-administered  and  self-managed  real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT"),
conducts  substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through
subsidiaries)  substantially all of its assets.  The Parent Company is currently
an 83.3%  economic  owner of the  Operating  Partnership  (excluding  the Parent
Company's  direct or indirect  ownership of 100% of the Operating  Partnership's
Series A Preferred Units). The Parent Company controls the Operating Partnership
through  Gables GP,  Inc.  ("GGPI"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Parent
Company  and  the  sole  general  partner  of the  Operating  Partnership  (this
structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella  partnership REIT or "UPREIT").
The term  "Company" as used herein means Gables Realty Limited  Partnership  and
its subsidiaries.

On May 28,  1997,  the Company  acquired  Wood Mill  Apartments,  a  multifamily
apartment  community  located in Atlanta,  Georgia,  comprised of 438  apartment
homes,  from The  Prudential  Insurance  Company  of  America  for an  aggregate
purchase  price of $29.1  million.  On September 4, 1997,  the Company  acquired
Jefferson  Forest  Apartments,  a  multifamily  apartment  community  located in
Houston,  Texas,  comprised of 404 apartment homes, from Jefferson Forest,  L.P.
for an aggregate  purchase  price of $22.6  million.  On September 26, 1997, the
Company  acquired  Jefferson  at Vinings  Apartments,  a  multifamily  apartment
community  located in Atlanta,  Georgia,  comprised of 310 apartment homes, from
Jefferson at Vinings  Apartments,  L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $27.5
million. On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired The Crescent Apartments,  a
multifamily  apartment  community  located in Houston,  Texas,  comprised of 324
apartment homes, from Crescent  Apartments Limited  Partnership for an aggregate
purchase price of $22.6 million.  The acquisition costs of Wood Mill Apartments,
Jefferson Forest Apartments,  Jefferson at Vinings Apartments,  and The Crescent
Apartments  (collectively,  the "Properties")  were financed through  borrowings
under the  Company's  $175 million  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  with
Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., as agent bank, and four other participant banks.

The contracts  related to the  acquisition of the Properties  were negotiated at
arms length between the Company and  representatives of the respective  sellers.
In assessing the Properties acquired,  the Company's  management  considered the
existing leases,  which are the primary source of revenue,  the occupancy rates,
the competitive nature of the markets and comparative rental rates. Furthermore,
current and anticipated  operating expenses,  maintenance and repair costs, real
estate taxes and capital improvement requirements were evaluated.  Management is
not aware of any  material  factors  that  would  cause the  reported  financial
information in Item 7. to be misleading.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of Gables Realty Limited Partnership:

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of excess of revenues over specific
operating  expenses of Wood Mill Apartments (the  "Property") for the year ended
December  31,  1996.  This  financial  statement  is the  responsibility  of the
Property's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on this
financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  statement  of excess of revenues  over  specific
operating  expenses  is  free  of  material  misstatement.   An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statement.  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  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2, this financial  statement excludes certain expenses that
would not be comparable with those resulting from the operations of the Property
after  acquisition  by the Company.  The  accompanying  financial  statement was
prepared  for the purpose of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  is  not  intended  to be a  complete
presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly, in
all material  respects,  the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses
(exclusive of expenses described in Note 2) of Wood Mill Apartments for the year
ended  December  31,  1996 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of Gables Realty Limited Partnership:

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of excess of revenues over specific
operating  expenses of Jefferson at Vinings  Apartments (the "Property") for the
year ended December 31, 1996. This financial  statement is the responsibility of
the Property's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  statement  of excess of revenues  over  specific
operating  expenses  is  free  of  material  misstatement.   An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statement.  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  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2, this financial  statement excludes certain expenses that
would not be comparable with those resulting from the operations of the Property
after  acquisition  by the Company.  The  accompanying  financial  statement was
prepared  for the purpose of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  is  not  intended  to be a  complete
presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly, in
all material  respects,  the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses
(exclusive of expenses  described in Note 2) of Jefferson at Vinings  Apartments
for the year ended  December  31, 1996 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  

     Description of Property Acquired
     --------------------------------

     On September 26, 1997,  Gables Realty Limited  Partnership  (the "Company")
     acquired Jefferson at Vinings Apartments, a multifamily apartment community
     located  in  Atlanta,  Georgia,  comprised  of  310  apartment  homes  (the
     "Property").

     The  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $27.5  million  was  financed  through
     borrowings  under the Company's  $175 million  unsecured  revolving  credit
     facility.

     In January,  1997,  the  construction  of the Property was completed and in
     July, 1997, the Property reached a stabilized occupancy level of 93%.

     Rental Revenue Recognition
     --------------------------

     The Property is leased under operating leases with terms generally equal to
     one year or less. Rental revenue is recognized when earned which materially
     approximates revenue recognition on a straight-line basis.

2.   BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The accompanying  statements of excess of revenues over specific  operating
     expenses are presented on the accrual  basis.  These  statements  have been
     prepared in accordance  with the  applicable  rules and  regulations of the
     Securities  and Exchange  Commission for real estate  properties  acquired.
     Accordingly,   the  statements  exclude  certain  historical  expenses  not
     comparable to the  operations of the Property  after  acquisition,  such as
     depreciation, interest and management fees.

     (collectively,  the "Properties").  In September, 1995, the construction of
     Jefferson  Forest  Apartments  was  completed  and in  September,  1996, it
     reached  a  stabilized  occupancy  level  of 91%.  In  January,  1997,  the
     construction  of the Jefferson at Vinings  Apartments  was completed and in
     July,  1997, it reached a stabilized  occupancy  level of 93%. In February,

     unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  which were  utilized to acquire the
     Properties.  The borrowings under such facility  currently bear interest at
     LIBOR plus 0.80%.  If interest rates under the credit  facility  fluctuated
     0.125%,  interest costs on the pro forma credit facility indebtedness would
     increase or decrease by approximately $127 on an annualized basis.
