               This Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on
     November 29, 1995 by Moraga Capital, LLC (the "Schedule 13D")
     is being filed to amend and supplement Item 4 of the Schedule 13D.

               Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term
     used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
     assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.  The information
     set forth in the Exhibits attached hereto is hereby expressly
     incorporated herein by reference and the responses to the
     each item contained in this Amendment are qualified in their
     entirety by the provisions of such Exhibits.

     Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

               Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as
     follows:

               By letter dated April 3, 1996 to the Issuer (the
     "Request Letter"), Moraga, certain Members and the Affiliated
     Holders, all of which are limited partners of the Issuer
     (collectively, the "Affiliated Limited Partners"), requested,
     pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Partnership
     Agreement of De Anza Properties - X, as amended, that a
     special meeting of the limited partners of the Issuer be
     called for the purposes specified in the Request Letter.  A
     copy of the Request Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 
     The Request Letter was transmitted to the Issuer under cover
     of a letter dated April 3, 1996 from Moraga to Herbert M.
     Gelfand, Chairman of the Board of De Anza Corporation, the
     Operating General Partner of the Issuer.  A copy of such
     letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

               Following receipt of the Request Letter by the
     Issuer, representatives of the Reporting Person and
     representatives of the Issuer discussed a possible
     meeting among the Reporting Person, the Issuer and their
     respective representatives to discuss the matters referenced
     in the Request Letter.  To facilitate such meeting, and to
     postpone the scheduling and notice of a meeting of the
     limited partners of the Issuer pending such meeting, by
     letter to the Issuer dated April 10, 1996 (the "Withdrawal
     Letter") from counsel to the Reporting Person, such counsel
     informed the Issuer that the Reporting Person and the other
     Affiliated Limited Partners had authorized such counsel to
     withdraw the Request Letter, without prejudice to reinstating
     the Request Letter in the future.  A copy of the Withdrawal
     Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

               On April 15, 1996, a representative of each of the
     Reporting Person and the Issuer, together with their
     respective counsel, met to discuss matters referenced in the
     Request Letter.  While no agreement was reached with respect
     to such matters, such representatives agreed to continue such
     discussions in an attempt to reach an agreement with respect
     to such matters.

               The Reporting Person intends to review on a
     continuing basis its investment in the Issuer and, subject to
     market and general economic conditions, the discussions among
     the Reporting Person, the Issuer and their respective
     representatives referenced above, the business and affairs
     and financial condition of the Issuer, the availability of
     Interests at favorable prices, alternative investment
     opportunities available to the Reporting Person and other
     factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Person, may acquire
     (through privately negotiated transactions, one or more
     tender offers or otherwise) additional Interests. 
     Alternatively, the Reporting Person reserves the right to
     dispose (through privately negotiated transactions with a
     third party, the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer or
     otherwise) of some or all of the Interests owned by it.

               Except as set forth herein, neither the Reporting
     Person nor the Members have any present plans or proposals
     that relate to or would result in any actions or events
     required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

                    Agreement that would (a) delete

                    into by the Partnership with respect
                    to any Property must be the subject of
                    a competitive bidding process in which
                    bids are solicited from not less than
                    three nationally or regionally
                    recognized apartment property
                    management firms and (ii) any existing

                    of such a competitive bidding process
                    be terminated as soon as practicable
                    (but, in any event, no later than 60
                    days following the adoption of such
                    amendment by the Limited Partners) and
                    that the management of such Property
                    following such termination be
                    determined as specified in clause (i);

                         2.  To consider and vote upon an
                    amendment to  the Partnership
                    Agreement that would require that (a)
                    the Partnership retain a qualified and
                    experienced firm to provide
                    administrative services to the

                    limitation, bookkeeping, computer
                    services and transfer services, such
                    retention to be based upon a
                    competitive bidding process in which
                    bids are solicited from not less than
                    three such firms and (b) any existing
                    agreement, arrangement or
                    understanding with respect to the
                    provision of such services that
                    constitutes an Interested Partner
                    Transaction (without giving effect to
                    the provisos contained in the
                    definition of "Interested Partner
                    Transaction") be terminated as soon as
                    practicable (but, in any event, no
                    later than 60 days following the
                    adoption of such amendment by the
                    Limited Partners) and that such
                    services thereafter be provided in the
                    manner specified in clause (a);

                    amendment to the Partnership Agreement
                    that would (a) insert the word
                    "Limited" in two instances:  (i) prior
                    to the word "Partners" in the fifth
                    line of Section 24.2 and (ii) prior to
                    the word "Partner" in the penultimate
                    line of Section 24.2; and

                         4.  To consider and vote upon an
                    amendment to the Partnership Agreement
                    that would amend the relevant portions
                    of Sections 10 and 11 of the
                    Partnership Agreement such that (i)
                    each time the percentage of
                    Distributable Cash or Profits
                    allocable to the General Partners is
                    referenced as 23.6816%, such
                    percentage would be reduced by 5% of
                    such amount as of the last day of each
                    month occurring in the period
                    commencing 90 days following the
                    adoption of such amendment and
                    continuing until such time as the sole
                    remaining Property has been sold and
                    at least 95% of the proceeds
                    attributable to such sale have been
                    distributed to the Partners (any such
                    reduction, a "Reduction Percentage")
                    and (ii) each time the percentage of
                    Distributable Cash or Profits
                    allocable to the Limited Partners is
                    referenced as 76.3184%, such
                    percentage would be increased as of
                    the last day of each month occurring
                    in such period by the amount of the
                    Reduction Percentage applicable to
                    such month.

                    Pursuant to Section 25.2 of the Partnership
          Agreement, the Affiliated Limited Partners hereby elect
          to set the record date for the Special Meeting.  Upon
          your advising Moraga Capital of the date for the Special

          Mr. Herbert M. Gelfand
          Chairman of the Board
          De Anza Corporation
          Operating General Partner

          Beverly Hills, California  90210

                    Re:  De Anza Properties - X

          Dear Mr. Gelfand:

                    Enclosed is a letter from the undersigned and
          certain other limited partners of De Anza Properties - X
          requesting a meeting of the limited partners of De Anza
          Properties - X.  The reasons for calling the meeting,
          which are spelled out more fully in the enclosed letter,
          relate to:

                    *    entering into a new management contract
                         for the Woodbridge Meadows Apartments with
                         a nationally or regionally recognized,
                         experienced and qualified apartment
                         property management firm following a
                         competitive bidding process;

                    *    entering into an arrangement with a real
                         estate syndication firm to provide
                         administrative services to the partnership
                         that are necessary for the operation of
                         the partnership and its properties;

                    *    amending Section 24.2 of the partnership
                         agreement to  require that the consent of
                         a limited partner to be adversely affected
                         is required in the case of an amendment to
                         alter the interest of a limited partner in
                         profits or losses or in distributable cash
                         or sale or refinancing proceeds; and

                    *    amending the allocation of profits and
                         distributable cash as between the general
                         partners and the limited partners such
                         that the interest of the general partners,
                         which is currently 23.6816%, would be
                         reduced by 5% of such amount as of the
                         last day of each month occurring in the
                         period commencing 90 days after the
                         adoption of such amendment and continuing
                         until such time as the partnership's sole
                         remaining property has been sold and at
                         least 95% of the proceeds attributable to
                         such sale have been distributed to the
                         partners, and the interest of the limited
                         partners would be increased as of the last
                         day of each month occurring in such period
                         by the amount of each such reduction.

                    The first two proposed amendments referenced
          above relate to improving the economics of De Anza
          Properties - X for the benefit of all the partners of De
          Anza Properties - X.  The Affiliated Partners (as such
          term is defined in the enclosed letter) believe that the
          terms of the property management and administrative
          arrangements that are currently in place at De Anza
          Properties - X can be replaced with comparable services
          provided by unaffiliated third parties at significant
          cost savings.  In particular, we believe that various
          property management firms would be willing to assume the
          management of the Woodbridge Meadows Apartments for a fee
          equal to 4% of the aggregate gross receipts from the
          operation of the property without the need for any
          additional reimbursable cost or expense.  Further, we
          believe that the administration of De Anza Properties - X
          by the Operating General Partner is an uneconomical
          endeavor, and that significant economies of scale could
          be recognized if administrative services were provided by
          a third party that provides similar services to other
          limited partnerships.  We estimate that the cost savings
          that could be realized from these two areas would allow
          the dividend rate for the partnership to be increased
          from the current rate of 6% to approximately 10%.

                    As to the latter two proposed amendments, the
          Affiliated Partners believe that the allocation of
          distributable cash and profits to the general partners is
          too high, as any future growth in value
          disproportionately benefits the general partners.  We
          also believe that Woodbridge Meadows Apartments, the sole
          remaining real property owned by the partnership, should
          be sold in an expeditious manner.  Further, we believe
          that the proposed reduction is an equitable one since it
          would not take effect until three months following its
          adoption and would then be implemented in steps on a
          monthly basis, creating an incentive for the general
          partners to arrange for the sale of the Woodbridge
          Meadows property and to distribute the proceeds therefrom
          in an expeditious manner.

                    Representatives of the Affiliated Partners
          would be happy to meet with you to discuss the proposed
          amendments after you have had an opportunity to review
          the enclosed letter.  You may contact the undersigned by
          telephone at (516) 822-0022, or, if you prefer, your
          counsel may contact James E. Lyons of Skadden, Arps,
          Slate, Meagher & Flom, counsel to the undersigned.

                                        Very truly yours,
