PART I.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS:

Real Estate Associates Limited II ("REAL II" or the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of California on
December 4, 1979.  On March 17, 1980, REAL II offered 3,000 units consisting of
6,000 Limited Partnership Interests and Warrants to purchase a maximum of 6,000
Additional Limited Partnership Interests through a public offering managed by
Lehman Brothers Inc.

The general partners of REAL II are National Partnership Investments Corp.
("NAPICO"), a California Corporation (the "Corporate General Partner") and
Coast Housing Investment Associates ("CHIA").  CHIA is a California limited
partnership and consists of Messrs. Nicholas G. Ciriello, an unrelated
individual, as general partner and Charles H. Boxenbaum as limited partner.
The business of REAL II is conducted primarily by its general partners as REAL
II has no employees of its own.

Casden Investment Corporation ("CIC") owns 100 percent of NAPICO's stock.  The
current members of NAPICO's Board of Directors are Charles H. Boxenbaum, Bruce
E. Nelson, Alan I. Casden, Henry C. Casden and Brian Goldberg.

REAL II holds limited partnership interests in twenty-one local limited
partnerships as of December 31, 1995.  Each of the local partnerships own a low
income housing project which is subsidized and/or has a mortgage note payable
to or insured by agencies of the federal or local government.

In order to stimulate private investment in low income housing, the federal
government and certain state and local agencies have provided significant
ownership incentives, including among others, interest subsidies, rent
supplements, and mortgage insurance, with the intent of reducing certain market
risks and providing investors with certain tax benefits, plus limited cash
distributions and the possibility of long-term capital gains.  There remain,
however, significant risks.  The long-term nature of investments in government
assisted housing limits the ability of REAL II to vary its portfolio in
response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions.  Such
investments are also subject to changes in local economic circumstances and
housing patterns, as well as rising operating costs, vacancies, rent collection
difficulties, energy shortages and other factors which have an impact on real
estate values.  These projects also require greater management expertise and
may have higher operating expenses than conventional housing projects.

The partnerships in which REAL II has invested were, at least initially,
organized by private developers who acquired the sites, or options thereon, and
applied for applicable mortgage insurance and subsidies.  REAL II became the
principal limited partner in these local limited partnerships pursuant to
arm's-length negotiations with these developers, or others, who act as general
partners.  As a limited partner, REAL II's liability for obligations of the
local limited partnership is limited to its investment.  The local general
partner of the local limited partnership retains responsibility for developing,
constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Project.  Under certain
circumstances, REAL II has the right to replace the general partner of the
local limited partnerships.

Although each of the partnerships in which REAL II has invested owns a project
which must compete in the market place for tenants, interest subsidies and rent
supplements from governmental agencies make it possible to offer these dwelling
units to eligible "low income" tenants at a cost significantly below the market
rate for comparable conventionally financed dwelling units in the area.

During 1995, the projects in which REAL II had invested were substantially
rented.  The following is a schedule of the status as of December 31, 1995, of
the projects owned by local limited partnerships in which REAL II is a limited
partner.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES:

Through its investments in local limited partnerships, REAL II holds interests
in real estate properties.  See Item 1 and Schedule XI for information
pertaining to these properties.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

As of December 31, 1995, REAL II's Corporate General Partner was a plaintiff or
defendant in several lawsuits.  In addition, REAL II is involved in the
following lawsuits.  In the opinion of management and the Corporate General
Partner, the claims will not result in any material liability to the
Partnership.

Joseph Alizio v. Peter Perpignano, New Haven Plaza Associates, Real Estate
Associates Limited II, National Partnership Investments Corp. and National
Partnership Associates, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of
Nassau, Case No. 1776-94.  On January 21, 1994, the Plaintiff filed a lawsuit
seeking to dissolve the Partnership, alleging that he was denied his pro rata
share of the capital contribution, management fees, consultants fees and
profits.  REAL II filed a motion to dismiss the complaint which motion was
granted on November 10, 1994.  The case was appealed and argued on February 9,
1996.  REAL II is now waiting for a decision on the matter from the appellate
court.

Manuel Rivera v. New Haven Plaza Associates, and Tort Security of New York,
Inc. Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Queens, Index No.
007421/94.  On April 11, 1994, the Plaintiff filed a lawsuit alleging he was
assaulted and shot while he was visiting the property.  According to the
on-site manager and security report, the Plaintiff was not on the subject
property when he was assaulted and shot.  The Plaintiff is seeking judgment for
damages in the amount of $5,000,000.  The case was turned over to Crumb &
Forester, the insurance agency, and subsequently sent to counsel for the
insurer.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS:

Not applicable.


PART II.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND RELATED
         SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS:

The Limited Partnership Interests are not traded on a public exchange but were
sold through a public offering managed by Lehman Brothers Inc.  It is not
anticipated that any public market will develop for the purchase and sale of
any Partnership interest.  Limited Partnership Interests may be transferred
only if certain requirements are satisfied.  At December 31, 1995 there were
1,676 registered holders of units in REAL II.  No distributions have been made
from the inception of the Partnership to December 31, 1995.  The Partnership
has invested in certain government assisted projects under programs which in
many instances restrict the cash return available to project owners.  The
Partnership was not designed to provide cash distributions to investors in
circumstances other than refinancing or disposition of its investments in
limited partnerships.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

LIQUIDITY

The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income on money
market investments and certificates of deposit and distributions from local
partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.  It is not expected that
any of the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has invested
will generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions to the
Partnership's limited partners in any material amount.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

REAL II received $13,365,000 in subscriptions for units of Limited Partnership
Interests (at $5,000 per unit) during the period March 17, 1979 to September
15, 1980, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11.  As of December
31, 1981 REAL II had received an additional $13,365,000 in subscriptions
pursuant to the exercise of warrants and the sale of Additional Limited
Partnership Interests.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership was formed to provide various benefits to its partners as
discussed in Item 1.  It is anticipated that the local limited partnerships in
which REAL II has invested could produce tax losses for as long as 20 years.
The Partnership will seek to defer income taxes from sale by not selling any
projects or project interests within 10 years, except to qualified tenant
cooperatives, or when proceeds of the sale would supply sufficient cash to
enable the partners to pay applicable taxes.

Tax benefits will decline over time as the advantages of accelerated
depreciation are greatest in the earlier years, as deductions for interest
expense decrease as mortgage principal is amortized, and as the Tax Reform Act
of 1986 limits the deductions available.

The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited partnerships
on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment balance by its
proportionate share of the income or loss of the local limited partnerships.
Losses incurred after the limited partnership investment account is reduced to
zero are not recognized.

Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as return of
capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative
amount equal to future capital contributions required.  Subsequent
distributions received are recognized as income.

In 1994, the Partnership refinanced two mortgages of two properties (Cherrywood
and Saturn) in a limited partnership (Cherrywood Associates) with a combination
of taxable and tax exempt bonds issued by the Idaho Housing Agency.  Proceeds
from the refinancing were utilized to retire existing mortgages of $790,300 and
$756,500, respectively.  The Partnership received excess cash proceeds of
approximately $1,618,000 from the refinancing. The limited partnership will now
have two new mortgage amounts of $1,654,000 and $1,759,300, for a term of 16
years at the taxable rate of 9.125 percent and a tax exempt rate of 7.3
percent.

Except for certificates of deposit and money market funds, the Partnership's
investments are entirely interests in other limited partnerships owning
government assisted projects.  Available cash is invested in short-term
investments and cash equivalents, earning interest income as reflected in the
statements of operations.  These short-term investments and cash equivalents
can be converted to cash to meet obligations as they arise.  The Partnership
intends to continue investing available funds in this manner.

A recurring Partnership expense is the management fee.  The fee is payable
monthly to the Corporate General Partner of the Partnership and is calculated
as a percentage of the Partnership's invested assets.  The management fee is
paid to the Corporate General Partner for its continuing management of
Partnership affairs.

Operating expenses, other than management fees of the Partnership, consist
substantially of professional fees for services rendered to the Partnership.

The Partnership, as a Limited Partner in the local limited partnerships in
which it has invested, is subject to the risks incident to the construction,
management, and ownership of improved real estate.  The Partnership investments
are also subject to adverse general economic conditions, and, accordingly, the
status of the national economy, including substantial unemployment and
concurrent inflation, which could increase vacancy levels, rental payment
defaults, and operating expenses, which in turn, could substantially increase
the risk of operating losses for the projects.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of
Real Estate Associates Limited II
(A California limited partnership)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Real Estate Associates
Limited II (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficiency) and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the index
on item 14.  These financial statements and financial statement schedules are
the responsibility of the management of the Partnership.  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
certain limited partnerships, the investments in which are reflected in the
accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting.  The
investments in these limited partnerships represent 33 percent and 39 percent
of total assets as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and the equity
in income of these limited partnerships represents 59 percent, 51 percent and
14 percent of the total net income of the Partnership for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and represent a substantial
portion of the investee information in Note 2 and the financial statement
schedules.  The financial statements of these limited partnerships are audited
by other auditors.  Their reports have been furnished to us and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these limited partnerships,
is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 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 Real Estate Associates Limited II as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our
opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, such financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

         Real Estate Associates Limited II (the Partnership) was formed
         under the California Limited Partnership Act on December 4,
         1979.  The Partnership was formed to invest in other limited
         partnerships which own and operate primarily federal, state or
         local government-assisted housing projects.  The general
         partners are Coast Housing Investment Associates (CHIA), a
         limited partnership, and National Partnership Investments
         Corp. (NAPICO), the corporate general partner.  Casden
         Investment Corporation owns 100 percent of NAPICO's stock.
         The limited partner of CHIA is an officer of NAPICO.

         The Partnership offered 3,000 units and issued 2,673 units of
         limited partner interests through a public offering.  Each
         unit was comprised of two limited partner interests and a
         warrant granting an investor the right to purchase two
         additional limited partner interests.  An additional 5,346
         interests were issued from the exercise of the warrants and
         the sale of interests associated with warrants not exercised.
         The general partners have a 1 percent interest in the profits
         and losses of the Partnership.  The limited partners have the
         remaining 99 percent interest in proportion to their
         respective investments.

         The Partnership shall be dissolved only upon the expiration of
         52 complete calendar years (December 31, 2031) from the date
         of the formation of the Partnership or the occurrence of
         various other events as specified in the terms of the
         Partnership agreement.

         Upon total or partial liquidation of the Partnership or the
         disposition or partial disposition of a project or project
         interest and distribution of the proceeds, the general
         partners will be entitled to a liquidation fee as stipulated
         in the Partnership agreement.  The limited partners will have
         a priority return equal to their invested capital attributable
         to the project(s) or project interest(s) sold and shall
         receive from the sale of the project(s) or project interest(s)
         an amount sufficient to pay state and federal income taxes, if
         any, calculated at the maximum rate then in effect.  The
         general partners' liquidation fee may accrue but shall not be
         paid until the limited partners have received distributions
         equal to 100 percent of their capital contributions.

         Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles requires management
         to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
         assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
         and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
         reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
         estimates.

         Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships

         The investments in limited partnerships are accounted for on
         the equity method.  Acquisition, selection and other costs
         related to the acquisition of the projects were capitalized as
         part of the investment account and are being amortized on a
         straight line basis over the estimated lives of the underlying
         assets, which is generally 30 years.

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         Net Income Per Limited Partnership Interest

         Net income per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing
         the limited partners' share of net income by the number of limited
         partnership interests outstanding during the year.  The number of
         limited partnership interests was 10,693 for all years presented.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of
         deposit with an original maturity date of three months or less.

2.       INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

         The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 21 limited
         partnerships.  The partnerships own residential low income rental
         projects consisting of 2,430 apartment units.  The mortgage loans of
         these projects are payable to or insured by various governmental
         agencies.

         The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to between 85
         percent and 99 percent of the profits and losses of the limited
         partnerships.

         Equity in losses of limited partnerships is recognized in the
         financial statements until the limited partnership investment account
         is reduced to a zero balance.  Losses incurred after the limited
         partnership investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized.
         The cumulative amount of the unrecognized equity in losses of certain
         limited partnerships was approximately $11,407,000 and $10,857,000 as
         of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         Distributions from limited partnerships are accounted for as a return
         of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero.
         Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.

         In 1994, the Partnership refinanced two mortgages of two properties
         (Cherrywood and Saturn) in a limited partnership (Cherrywood
         Associates) with a combination of taxable and tax exempt bonds issued
         by the Idaho Housing Agency.  Proceeds from the refinancing were
         utilized to retire existing mortgages of $790,300 and $756,500,
         respectively.  The Partnership received excess cash proceeds of
         approximately $1,618,000 from the refinancing, of which $689,000 has
         been included in income and the balance is a return of capital. The
         limited partnership will now have two new mortgage amounts of
         $1,654,000 and $1,759,300, for a term of 16 years at the taxable rate
         of 9.125 percent and a tax exempt rate of 7.3 percent.

         The difference between the investment per the accompanying balance
         sheets at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the deficiency per the
         limited partnerships' combined financial statements is due primarily
         to cumulative unrecognized equity in losses of certain limited
         partnerships, costs capitalized to the investment account and
         cumulative distributions recognized as income.

3.       FEES AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER

         Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
         Partners, the Partnership is liable to NAPICO for an annual management

         partnerships.  Invested assets is defined as the costs of acquiring
         project interests, including the

                       REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED II
                       (a California limited partnership)

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995


3.       FEES AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER (CONTINUED)

         proportionate amount of the mortgage loans related to the
         Partnership's interest in the capital accounts of the respective
         partnerships.

         The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses.  The
         reimbursement to NAPICO was $29,892, $28,804 and $28,629 in 1995, 1994
         and 1993, respectively, and is included in operating expenses.

4.       CONTINGENCIES

         The corporate general partner of the Partnership is a plaintiff in
         various lawsuits and has also been named a defendant in other lawsuits
         arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.  In
         addition, the Partnership is involved in several lawsuits.

         In the opinion of management and the corporate general partner, the
         claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.

5.       INCOME TAXES

         No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
         financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of
         the individual partners.  The major differences in tax and financial
         reporting result from the use of different bases and depreciation
         methods for the properties held by the limited partnerships.
         Differences in tax and financial losses also arise as losses are not
         recognized for financial reporting purposes when the investment
         balance has been reduced to zero.

6.       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
         Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair
         value information about financial instruments.  The carrying amount of
         assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require
         such disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term
         maturity.

7.       FOURTH-QUARTER ADJUSTMENT

         The Partnership's policy is to record its equity in the income of
         limited partnerships on a quarterly basis, using estimated financial
         information furnished by the various local operating general partners.
         The equity in income of limited partnerships reflected in the
         accompanying annual financial statements is based primarily upon
         audited financial statements of the investee limited partnerships.
         The increase, approximately $632,000, between the estimated nine-month
         equity in income and the actual 1995 year end equity in income has
         been recorded in the fourth quarter.

NOTES:        1.     Equity in losses represents the Partnership's allocable
                     share of the net loss from the limited partnerships for the
                     year. Equity in losses of the limited partnerships will be
                     recognized until the investment balance is reduced to zero
                     or a negative balance equal to further commitments by the
                     Partnership.

              2.     Cash distributions from the limited partnerships are
                     treated as a return on the investment and reduce the
                     investment balance until such time as the investment is
                     reduced to zero or a negative balance equal to further
                     commitments by the Partnership.  Distributions
                     subsequently received will be recognized as income.
