                                PART I

Item 1. Business
- ----------------

Balcor Realty Investors  Ltd.-82 (the  "Registrant") is  a limited  partnership
formed in 1981 under the laws of  the State of Illinois. The Registrant  raised
$74,133,000 from  sales  of  Limited Partnership  Interests.  The  Registrant's
operations currently consist exclusively of investment in and operation of real
property, and all financial information included in this report relates to this
industry segment.

The Registrant  utilized the  net offering  proceeds to  acquire fourteen  real
property investments. The Registrant  has since disposed  of thirteen of  these
properties. As  of  December  31,  1996,  the  Registrant  owned  one  property
described under Item 2 "Property". The Partnership Agreement provides that  the
proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the Registrant's properties will not  be
reinvested in new acquisitions.

The Registrant's remaining property, Balcones  Woods Apartments, is subject  to
certain competitive conditions in the market  in which it is located. See  Item
7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results  of
Operations - Liquidity and Capital  Resources" for additional information.  

Real estate  values,  especially  for  good  quality,  well  located  property,
increased significantly during 1996 due  to a combination of readily  available
capital, low interest rates, and decreased vacancy rates resulting from  steady
demand and an acceptable level of new construction.  While 1996 proved to be an
excellent year  to  sell  real  estate,  projected  yields  by  buyers  on  new
acquisitions have declined significantly due to competition and rising  prices.
Although there  will be  variances  by asset  class  and geographic  area,  the
investment climate is  expected to  remain strong  for 1997.   However,  values
could begin  to level  off as  they approach  replacement cost  triggering  new
construction and an increase in capitalization rates.

The investment market for apartments was excellent during 1996 due to a  number
of factors.  Investor  interest was strong,  driven primarily by  institutions,
such as  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts  which  aggressively  expanded  their
portfolios and pension funds viewed apartments as an attractive asset class due
to their perceived  low  volatility and the emergence  of large professional   
property management companies.   Operationally,  existing apartment  properties
registered on  a national  basis occupancy  in  the mid  90's and  rental  rate
increases of 3-4%  in 1996.   While above the  rate of inflation,  the rate  of
rental growth in 1996 was below that of the previous two years suggesting  that
the apartment  cycle  may have  plateaued,  especially  as the  impact  of  new
construction in  many areas  is being  felt.   While 1997  is projected  to  be
another profitable year,  values should  begin to level  off as  capitalization
rates move upward  continuing a  trend which began  during the  second half  of
1996.
<PAGE>
During September and October of 1996, the Registrant sold the Songbird Phase  I
& II Apartments and Eagles Pointe Apartments in all cash sales for  $10,700,000
and  $11,075,000,  respectively.  See  Item  7.  "Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources".

During March  1997,  the Registrant  sold  the Balcones  Woods  Apartments  for
$15,800,000. See Other Information, below, and Item 7. "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of  Financial Condition  and Results of  Operations Liquidity  and
Capital Resources".  

The Registrant  sold its  remaining property  during 1997.  The timing  of  the
termination of the Registrant and final  distribution of cash will depend  upon
the nature  and extent  of liabilities  and contingencies  which exist  or  may
arise. Such  contingencies  may include  legal  and other  fees  stemming  from
litigation involving the Registrant including,  but not limited to, the  Lenore
Klein case discussed in Item 3 "Legal Proceedings". In the absence of any  such
contingency, the reserves will be distributed within twelve months of the  last
property being sold. In the event a contingency arises, reserves may be held by
the Registrant for a longer period of time.

The Registrant,  by virtue  of its  ownership  of real  estate, is  subject  to
federal and state laws and  regulations covering various environmental  issues.
Management of the Registrant utilizes the services of environmental consultants
to assess  a  wide range  of  environmental issues  and  to conduct  tests  for
environmental contamination as appropriate. The General Partner is not aware of
any potential liability due to environmental issues or conditions that would be
material to the Registrant.

The officers and employees  of Balcor Partners-XI, the  General Partner of  the
Registrant, and  its  affiliates  perform  services  for  the  Registrant.  The
Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations.

Balcones Woods Apartments
- -------------------------

As previously  reported, on  February 11,  1997, a  joint venture  (the  "Joint
Venture") in which  the Partnership  is the  general partner  and the  original
seller of the property (the "JV Partner") is the limited partner, contracted to
sell Balcones  Woods  Apartments,  Austin, Texas,  to  an  unaffiliated  party,
Mid-America Apartments of Texas, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, for a  sale
price of $15,800,000. The Partnership and the JV Partner hold interests in  the
Joint Venture of 80% and 20%,  respectively. The purchaser assigned its  rights
under the agreement of sale to  an affiliate, Mid-America Apartments of  Austin
L.P., and the sale closed on March 18, 1997. The purchaser was unable to obtain
the consent  of  the first  mortgage  holder to  its  assumption of  the  first
mortgage loan, and from the proceeds of the sale, the Joint Venture repaid  the
outstanding balance of the first mortgage loan of $9,113,278.
<PAGE>
In addition, the Joint Venture paid  $316,000 as a brokerage commission to  an
affiliate of the  third party  providing property management  services for  the
property, and  $53,746  in  closing  costs.  The  Joint  Venture  received  the
remaining proceeds of approximately  $6,317,000. Pursuant to  the terms of  the
Joint Venture agreement, the  Partnership received all  sale proceeds. Of  such
proceeds, $200,000,  will be  retained by  the Joint  Venture and  will not  be
available for use or distribution by the Joint Venture until 60 days after  the
closing.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------

On August 30, 1996, a proposed  class action complaint was filed, Lenore  Klein
vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al., Superior Court of New Jersey, Law  Division,
Union County,  Docket No.  Unn-L-5162-96). The  Registrant, additional  limited
partnerships which  were sponsored  by The  Balcor Company  (together with  the
Partnership, the _Affiliated Partnerships_),  American Express Company,  Lehman
Brothers, Inc., additional limited partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of
Lehman  Brothers,  Inc.  (together  with  the  Registrant  and  the  Affiliated
Partnerships, the "Defendant Partnerships_) and Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. are
the named defendants in  the action. The complaint  was amended on October  18,
1996 to add additional plaintiffs.  The amended complaint alleges, among  other
things, common law  fraud and  deceit, negligent  misrepresentation, breach  of
contract, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of certain New Jersey statutes
relating  to  the  disclosure  of  information  in  the  offering  of   limited
partnership interests  in the  Defendant  Partnerships. The  amended  complaint
seeks judgment for  compensatory damages equal  to the amount  invested in  the
Defendant Partnerships by the proposed class plus interest; general damages for
injuries arising  from  the  defendants'  alleged  actions;  equitable  relief,
including rescission, on  certain counts; punitive  damages; treble damages  on
certain counts; recovery from the defendants of all profits received by them as
a result  of their  alleged  actions relating  to the  Defendant  Partnerships;
attorneys' fees and other costs.

The defendants intend  to vigorously contest  this action.   No class has  been
certified as of  this date.  The Registrant  believes that  it has  meritorious
defenses to contest the claims. It is not determinable at this time whether  or
not an unfavorable decision in this action would have a material adverse impact
on the Registrant.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- -----------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote  of the Limited Partners of the  Registrant

Summary of Operations
- ---------------------

Balcor Realty Investors  Ltd.-82 (the  "Partnership") recognized  net gains  on
sales of properties during  each of 1996,  1995 and 1994.  The timing of  these
transactions resulted in an increase in net income in 1996 as compared to  1995
and a decrease in net income in 1995 as compared to 1994. Further discussion of
the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------

Rental and service  income decreased in  1996 as  compared to 1995  due to  the
sales of the Songbird Apartments Phase I&II and the Eagles Pointe Apartments in
September and October 1996, respectively.  The Partnership recognized gains  on
the sales of these properties totaling $12,521,440.

Interest income on short-term investments decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995
due to lower average cash balances available for investments resulting from the
payment of special distributions to Limited Partners in 1995. 

As a  result  of  the February  1995  repayment  of the  Meridian  Hills  Court
Apartments wrap-around  note, interest  income on  wrap-around note  receivable
ceased and interest  expense on  mortgage notes payable  decreased during  1996
when compared  to  1995. In  addition,  the Partnership  recognized  the  final
portion of the  deferred gain of  $3,244,180 related to  this installment  sale
during 1995. This gain had been deferred from 1986, when the property had  been
sold for a cash down payment plus the wrap-around note.  

In February  1996,  the  Partnership  reached  a  settlement  with  the  seller
regarding the original purchase of the Balcones Woods Apartments and recognized
$216,750 of settlement income relating primarily to amounts due from the seller
under the management and guarantee agreement as well as construction defects at
the property.

Interest expense decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the sales of  the
Songbird Phase I & II Apartments  and Eagles Pointe Apartments during 1996  and
the repayment  of the  Meridian  Hills  Court Apartments wrap-around note
during 1995. 

Depreciation expense decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the sales  of
the Songbird Phase I&II Apartments and the Eagles Pointe Apartments.

Amortization expense decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the sales  of
the Songbird Phase I&II Apartments and the Eagles Pointe Apartments.
<PAGE>
As a result of the sale of two properties in 1996, property operating  expenses
decreased by approximately  $289,000 during  1996 as  compared to  1995.   This
decrease was partially offset by  an increase in utilities, insurance,  payroll
and operating expenses of approximately $218,000 at the Balcones Woods and  the
Eagles Pointe Apartments.

Real estate tax expense decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the  sales
of the  Songbird Phase  I&II Apartments  and the  Eagles Pointe  Apartments  by
approximately $85,000. This decrease was partially offset by an increase at the
Balcones Woods Apartments of approximately $38,000 due to increased tax rates.

Property management fees decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the sales
of the Songbird Phase I&II Apartments and the Eagles Pointe Apartments.

The Partnership incurred higher legal,  consulting, printing and postage  costs
in connection with  a response  to a  tender offer  during 1995.  As a  result,
administrative expenses decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995. 

In connection with  the sales  of the Songbird  Phase I&II  Apartments and  the
Eagles Pointe Apartments, the Partnership  wrote off the remaining  unamortized
deferred expenses  in  the amount  of  $192,960 and  $2,969,  respectively.  In
addition, the Partnership  recognized prepayment penalties  in connection  with
the sale  of the  Eagles Pointe  Apartments of  $423,933.   These amounts  were
recognized as  an  extraordinary item  and  classified as  debt  extinguishment
expenses in 1996.

1995 Compared to 1994
- ---------------------

The Partnership sold  the Bemis Square  Shopping Center and  the Via El  Camino
Apartments in February and May 1994,  respectively, which resulted in gains  of
$2,375,416 and $3,147,865, respectively. 

Rental and service income decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due the sale of
the Bemis  Square Center  and the  Via El  Camino Apartments  by  approximately
$554,000. An  increase in  rental  and service  income  at the  Balcones  Woods
Apartments, Eagles Pointe  Apartments, and the  Songbird Phase I&II  Apartments
due to higher rental and occupancy rates partially offset the above decrease by
approximately $480,000.

Interest on short-term investments  increased during 1995  as compared to  1994
due to an increase in interest rates earned on short-term investments.

During 1994, a liability related to tenant improvements at one of the  disposed
properties was  written-off and  recognized as  other income  in the  financial
statements.

The February 1995 repayment of the Meridian Hills Court Apartments  wrap-around
note caused a decrease in interest income on wrap-around note receivable during
1995 when compared to 1994.
<PAGE>
Interest expense decreased in 1995 as compared 1994, due primarily to the  sale
of Bemis Square Shopping Center and the Via El Camino Apartments. The repayment
by the Partnership of the mortgage note payable related to the Songbird  Phases
I&II Apartments in June 1994 and the assumption by the borrower of the mortgage
note payable related to the Meridian Hills Court Apartments wrap-around note in
February 1995,  further contributed  to  the decrease  in interest  expense  on
mortgage notes payable.

Property operating  expenses  decreased  in  1995  as  compared  to  1994,  due
primarily to the sale  of Bemis Square  Shopping Center and  the Via El  Camino
Apartments. Decreased  expenditures at  the Eagles  Pointe and  Balcones  Woods
Apartments  relating  to  roof   repairs  and  interior  improvements   further
contributed to the decrease in property operating expenses in 1995.

Depreciation and amortization expenses  decreased in 1995  as compared to  1994
due to  the  sale  of Bemis  Square  Shopping  Center and  the  Via  El  Camino
Apartments.

Property management fees decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to the  sale
of Bemis Square Shopping Center and the Via El Camino Apartments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The cash position of the  Partnership increased by approximately $2,855,000  as
of December 31, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995 primarily due to net cash
proceeds from the sales of the Songbird Phase I & II Apartments and the  Eagles
Pointe Apartments in 1996. Cash flow of approximately $842,000 was provided  by
operating activities during 1996 consisting  primarily of cash provided by  the
operation of the Partnership's properties, and settlement income received  from
the seller of  the Balcones Woods  Apartments and was  partially offset by  the
payment of administrative  expenses and loan prepayment penalties. Cash
provided  by investing activities  of approximately $15,329,000  consisted
primarily  of proceeds  received from the sales of the Songbird  Phase I&II
Apartments and  Eagles Pointe Apartments and proceeds from the redemption of a
restricted investment. Cash used in financing activities of approximately
$13,316,000 consisted of distributions to the Limited Partners, the repayment of
mortgage notes payable, principal  payments on  mortgage  notes  payable  and
net  disbursements  received  from   capital improvement escrows. In  addition,
in  January  1997, the  Partnership made a special distribution of $4,003,182
to the Limited Partners.
 
Short-term investments  totaling  $1,230,000  had been  pledged  as  additional
collateral for  the  mortgage  note  payable  relating  to  the  Eagles  Pointe
Apartments. The Partnership obtained a release of the funds in July 1996,  upon
meeting certain criteria pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement.

The Partnership defines cash  flow generated from its  properties as an  amount
equal to the  property's revenue receipts  less property related  expenditures,
which include debt service payments. During  1996 and 1995, the Balcones  Woods
Apartments generated positive  cash flow.  Both the  Songbird Apartments  Phase
I&II and the Eagles  Pointe Apartments, which were  sold in September 1996  and
October 1996, respectively,  generated positive  cash flow in  1995 and  during
1996 prior to  their sales.  As of  December 31,  1996, the  occupancy rate  at
Balcones Woods Apartments was 94%. 
<PAGE>
Balcones Woods Apartments  is located  in the northwest  sub-market of  Austin,
Texas which contains  in excess of  15,000 of the  city's 130,000  multi-family
units. Balcones Woods  Apartments competes  with the mid-range  product in  the
sub-market. In 1996, the average occupancy  at the property and the  sub-market
for a similar product type averaged 93%. As Austin, Texas has continued to post
strong employment growth, the housing market has seen significant  construction
of multi-family  units with  approximately 13,000  units built  since 1994  and
another 8,000 currently being  planned for 1997. The  additional supply in  the
market has caused  rental rates to  flatten and overall  market occupancies  to
drop from 97% in 1995 to 94% at year-end 1996.

As discussed below, during 1996, the Partnership sold the Songbird Phase I & II
Apartments and the Eagles Pointe Apartments, and during 1997, sold the Balcones
Woods Apartments.  Available  proceeds from  the  sale of  the  Balcones  Woods
Apartments will be  distributed to  Limited Partners in  1997. The  Partnership
will retain a portion of the cash to satisfy obligations of the Partnership  as
well as establish a reserve for contingencies. The timing of the termination of
the Partnership and final distribution of cash will depend upon the nature  and
extent of  liabilities  and  contingencies  which exists  or  may  arise.  Such
contingencies may  include  legal  and  other  fees  stemming  from  litigation
involving the Partnership including, but not limited to, the Lenore Klein  case
discussed  in  Item  3  "Legal  Proceedings".  In  the  absence  of  any   such
contingency, the  reserves  will be  paid  within  twelve months  of  the  last
property sale. In the event a contingency  arises, reserves may be held by  the
Partnership for a longer period of time.  

In September 1996, the Partnership sold the Songbird Apartments in an all  cash
sale for $10,700,000.  The purchaser of  the Songbird Phase  I & II  Apartments
took title  subject  to the  existing  first mortgage  loan  in the  amount  of
$7,015,499. From the proceeds the  Partnership paid $362,421 in selling  costs.
Pursuant to the terms of  the sale, the Partnership  was required to hold  back
$500,000 of the proceeds  until January 1997. The  full amount of the  holdback
was released in January 1997. The remainder of the proceeds were distributed as
a special distribution to the Limited Partners in October 1996. See Note 11  of
Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

In October 1996, the  Partnership sold the Eagles  Pointe Apartments in an  all
cash sale for $11,075,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership  paid
$7,066,611 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first
and second mortgage loans, and paid  $298,233 in selling costs and $423,933  of
prepayment penalties. Pursuant to  the terms of the  sale, the Partnership  was
required to hold back  $250,000 of the proceeds  until December 1996. The  full
amount of the  holdback was  released in December  1996. The  remainder of  the
proceeds were distributed to the Limited Partners in January 1997. See Note  11
of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

In  March  1997,  the  Partnership  sold  the  Balcones  Woods  Apartments  for
$15,800,000. The purchaser of the Balcones Woods Apartments took title  subject
to the  existing first  mortgage loan  in the  amount of  $9,113,278. From  the
proceeds of  the  sale, the  Partnership  paid  $369,746 in  selling  costs. 
The remaining available proceeds will be distributed to the Limited Partners
in 1997. See Note 16  of Notes to Financial Statements for  additional
information.
<PAGE>
The Partnership  made  distributions totaling  $78.00,  $72.95, and  $3.45  per
Interest in  1996, 1995,  and 1994,  respectively. See  Statement of  Partner's
Capital for additional information. Distributions  were comprised of $15.00  of
Net Cash Receipts and $63.00  of Net Cash Proceeds in  1996, $9.45 of Net  Cash
Receipts and  $63.50 of  Net  Cash Proceeds  in 1995,  and  $3.45 of  Net  Cash
Receipts in  1994. Distributions  of Net  Cash Receipts  increased in  1996  as
compared to  1995  and 1995  as  compared to  1994  primarily due  to  improved
operations at the Partnership's properties.  In addition, the Partnership  made
special distributions  of $62.00  and $63.50  per Interest  in 1996  and  1995,
respectively,  from  the  property  sales  in  1996  and  the  Meridian   Hills
wrap-around note repayment in 1995.

In January 1997, the Partnership made a distribution of $4,003,182 ($54.00  per
Interest) to  the  holders  of Limited  Partnership  Interests  representing  a
distribution of Net Cash Receipts of $4.00 per Interest for the fourth  quarter
of 1996, and a  special Net Cash Proceeds  distribution of $50.00 per  Interest
primarily from proceeds received in connection  with the sale of Eagles  Pointe
Apartments in October 1996. Including the January 1997 distribution,  investors
have received  distributions  of Net  Cash  Receipts  of $46.90  and  Net  Cash
Proceeds of $486.50, totaling $533.40 per  $1,000 Interest, as well as  certain
tax benefits. Future cash distributions will  be made from proceeds generated
from the  sale of Balcones Woods Apartments.  In light of results  to date,
will not recover all of their original investment. 

Inflation has several types of  potentially conflicting impacts on real  estate
investments. Short-term  inflation can  increase  real estate  operating  costs
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales  prices,
depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term,  inflation
can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may  lead
to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of
Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82:

We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedule
of Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82 (An Illinois Limited Partnership) as listed 
in the index of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and the
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

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 provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Balcor Realty Investors 
Ltd.-82 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition,
in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements, taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be
included therein.

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership Agreement
provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon disposition of all its
interests in real estate. In March 1997, the Partnership disposed of its
remaining real estate assets. Upon resolution of the litigation described in
Note 15 to the financial statements, the Partnership intends to cease
operations and dissolve.

                         BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS LTD.-82
                         (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:

Balcor Realty  Investors Ltd.-82  is engaged  principally in  the operation  of
residential real estate located in Austin, Texas.  

2. Partnership Termination:

The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership  upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate.  During 1996,  the Partnership  sold  the Songbird  Phase I  &  II
Apartments and the Eagles Pointe Apartments and during 1997, sold its remaining
property, the Balcones Woods Apartments. The  timing of the termination of  the
Partnership and final  distribution of  cash will  depend upon  the nature  and
extent of  liabilities  and  contingencies  which exists  or  may  arise.  Such
contingencies may  include  legal  and  other  fees  stemming  from  litigation
involving the Partnership including, but not limited to, the lawsuit discussed
in Note 15 of  Notes to the Financial  Statements. In the absence  of any such
contingency,  the reserves will  be paid within  twelve months of  the last
property sale. In the event a contingency arises, reserves may be held  by the
Partnership for a longer period of time.

3. Accounting Policies:

(a) The preparation of  the financial statements  in conformity with  generally
accepted accounting principles requires the  General Partner 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  the  reported  amounts  of revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.

(b) Depreciation  expense  is  computed  using  straight-line  and  accelerated
methods. Rates used  in the determination  of depreciation are  based upon  the
following estimated useful lives:

                                                    Years
                                                    -----

               Buildings and improvements          20 to 30
               Furniture and fixtures                 5

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures  for
improvements are charged to the related asset account.

Interest incurred while properties are under construction is capitalized.
<PAGE>

As properties  are sold,  the related  costs and  accumulated depreciation  are
removed from  the respective  accounts.  Any gain  or  loss on  disposition  is
recognized  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles.
Deferred gains on  sales of  properties resulted  from prior  year sales  being
recorded under  the installment  method. Gains  were recognized  (based on  the
gross profit percentage) as future sales proceeds are collected.

(c) Effective January 1, 1995  the partnership adopted Statement  of Financial
Accounting Standards, No.  121 (SFAS  121), "Accounting for  the Impairment  of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Under SFAS 121, the
Partnership records its investments in real estate at the lower of cost or fair
value, and  periodically  assesses, but  not  less  than on  an  annual  basis,
possible impairment  to  the  value  of its  properties.  The  General  Partner
estimates the fair  value of its  properties based on  the current sales  price
less estimated closing costs.  In the event the  General Partner determines  an
impairment in value has  occurred, and the carrying  amount of the real  estate
asset will not  be recovered, a  provision is recorded  to reduce the  carrying
basis of  the  property  to  its estimated  fair  value.  The  General  Partner
considers the method referred to above to result in a reasonable measurement of
a property's fair value,  unless other factors  affecting the property's  value
indicate otherwise.

(d) Deferred expenses consist  of mortgage financing  fees which are  amortized
over the terms of the respective  agreements. Upon sale, any remaining  balance
is recognized as debt extinguishment expense and classified as an extraordinary
item.

(e) Revenue is  recognized on  an accrual  basis in  accordance with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

(f) The Financial Accounting Standard  Board's Statement No. 107,  "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial  Instruments", requires disclosure of fair  value
information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value. Since quoted market prices are not available for the  Partnership's
financial instruments, fair values have  been based on estimates using  present
value  techniques.  These   techniques  are  significantly   affected  by   the
assumptions used,  including the  discount rate  and estimates  of future  cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in
immediate settlement of the  instrument.  Statement No.  107 does not apply  to
all balance  sheet items  and excludes  certain financial  instruments and  all
non-financial instruments such as real estate and investment in joint  ventures
from its disclosure requirements.

(g) Cash and  cash equivalents include  all highly liquid  investments with  an
original maturity  of three  months or  less when  purchased. Cash  is held  or
invested in one financial institution.

(h) The Partnership  is not liable  for Federal income  taxes and each  partner
recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax
return; therefore,  no provision  for income  taxes is  made in  the  financial
statements of the Partnership.
<PAGE>
(i) A reclassification has been made to the previously reported 1994  financial
statements to  conform with  the classification  used in  1996 and  1995.  This
reclassification has not changed the 1994 results.

4. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership  was  organized during  June  1981. The  Partnership  Agreement
provides for Balcor Partners-XI to be the General Partner and for the admission
of Limited  Partners through  the  sale of  up  to 75,000  Limited  Partnership
Interests at $1,000  per Interest, 74,133  of which  were sold on  or prior  to
May 29, 1982, the termination date of the offering.

The Partnership Agreement generally provides  that the General Partner will  be
allocated 5%  of the  profits  and losses.  Profits  and losses  from  property
dispositions will be  allocated 1% to  the General Partner  and 99% to  Limited
Partners. One hundred percent of  Net Cash Receipts available for  distribution
shall be distributed to the holders  of Interests. In addition, there shall  be
accrued for the benefit of the  General Partner as its distributive share  from
operations, an amount  equivalent to  approximately 5%  of the  total Net  Cash
Receipts being distributed, which will be  paid only out of Net Cash  Proceeds.
The payment of this amount to the General Partner is subordinated to the return
to holders  of  Interests  of  their  Original Capital  plus  a  3%  per  annum
Cumulative Distribution on Adjusted Original Capital, as described below.
Under certain circumstances, the  General Partner may  also participate in  the
Net Cash  Proceeds  from  (i) the refinancing  of  Partnership  properties  and
(ii) the sale of Partnership properties. When  and as the Partnership sells  or
refinances its properties, the Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom, which are
available for distribution, will  be distributed only  to holders of  Interests
until such time as holders of Interests have received an amount equal to  their
Original Capital  plus  a 3%  per  annum Cumulative  Distribution  on  Adjusted
Original Capital. Thereafter, the General  Partner will receive 15% of  further
distributed Net  Cash  Proceeds. Such  distribution  will include  the  accrued
distributive share  from  operations.  The  General  Partner  will  receive  no
distribution of Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this provision.

5. Wrap-around Note Receivable:

In February 1995, the Partnership received $1,342,445 as payment in full on the
wrap-around note that  had been  received in connection  with the  sale of  the
Meridian Hills Court Apartments.  This note had matured  in November 1994,  but
the  Partnership  granted  the  borrower  an  extension.  The  amount  received
represented the wrap-around  note balance  of $6,150,000,  less the  underlying
mortgage note balance, which was $4,807,555  at the time of the repayment.  The
liability for the underlying mortgage note was assumed by the purchaser of  the
property. As  a  result  of  this repayment,  the  Partnership  recognized  the
remaining deferred  gain of  $3,244,180  from the  property  sale in  its  1995
financial statements. The Partnership had recognized interest income related to
this wrap-around note during 1995 and 1994.

See notes (A) through (C) following.
<PAGE>

(A) This  property was  sold in  October  1996. See  Note 11  of Notes  to  the
Financial Statements for additional information.

(B) This property  was sold  in September  1996. See Note  11 of  Notes to  the
Financial Statements for additional information.

(C) This property was  sold in March 1997.  The Partnership was making  monthly
payments of principal and interest prior to the sale of this property. See Note
16 of Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Real estate  with a  carrying value  of  $6,604,795 at  December 31,  1996  was
pledged as collateral for repayment of the mortgage loan.

The Partnership incurred and paid  interest expense on non-affiliated  mortgage
notes payable of $1,655,049,  $2,067,794 and $2,792,114  during 1996, 1995  and
1994, respectively.

7. Management Agreement:

As of December  31, 1996,  the property  owned by  the Partnership  is under  a
management agreement  with a  third-party management  company. This  management
agreement provides for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.

8. Seller's Participation in Joint Venture:

The Balcones  Woods  Apartments  is  owned  by  a  joint  venture  between  the
Partnership and the original seller. The property's seller retains an  interest
in the  property  through  its  interest in  the  joint  venture.  All  assets,
liabilities, income  and expenses  of the  joint venture  are included  in  the
financial statements of  the Partnership  with the  appropriate adjustment,  if
any, for the seller's participation in the joint venture.

9. Tax Accounting:

The Partnership keeps its books in  accordance with the Internal Revenue  Code,
rules and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder  and  existing  interpretations
thereof.  The  accompanying  financial   statements,  which  are  prepared   in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will differ from  the
tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the
Internal Revenue Code. The net effect  of these accounting differences is  that
the net income for 1996 in the financial statements is $6,299,705 less than the
tax income of the Partnership for the  same period. The decrease in net  income
for  financial  statement  purposes  is   primarily  from  the  difference   in
accumulated depreciation  due  to  the application  of  different  methods  for
generally accepted accounting principals and tax. Accumulated depreciation is a
component of the calculation of the gain on sale.

The Partnership  participates in  an insurance  deductible program  with  other
affiliated partnerships in which  the program pays claims  up to the amount  of
the deductible  under the  master insurance  policies for  its properties.  The
program is administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who receives  no
fee for administering the program;  however, the General Partner is  reimbursed
for program expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance
program of $8,062, $52,047, and $66,189 in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed all
of the Partnership's properties until the  affiliate was sold to a third  party
in November 1994.

In June 1994, the Partnership used  cash reserves to repay the $2,323,345  note
payable  related  to  the  Songbird  Phases  I  and  II  Apartments  which  was
outstanding from Balcor Real Estate Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of the General
Partner. The Partnership incurred interest expense of $42,437 and paid interest
expense of $72,120 on this loan during 1994.

The Partnership  was  required  to  post  a  $1,230,000  letter  of  credit  as
additional collateral for the Eagles  Pointe Apartments mortgage note  payable.
An affiliate of the General Partner  originally had been providing a  guarantee
for this letter of credit. During 1993, the Partnership pledged $1,230,000 from
its cash reserves as cash collateral for  the letter of credit in place of  the
affiliate's guarantee.  The  amount  pledged  as  collateral  was  invested  in
short-term instruments pursuant to the terms  of the pledge agreement with  the
lending institution. Interest earned on this amount accumulated for the benefit
of the Partnership.  The Partnership obtained  a release of  the funds in  July
1996, upon  meeting  certain  criteria  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  loan
agreement.

11. Property Sales:

(a) In October 1996, the Partnership sold the Eagles Pointe Apartments 
in an all cash sale for $11,075,000.  From the proceeds of the sale, 
the Partnership paid $7,066,611  to the third party mortgage holder in full 
satisfaction of the first and second mortgage loans, and paid $298,233 in 
selling  costs  and  $423,933  of   prepayment  penalties.  In  addition,   the
Partnership paid a state withholding tax  of $286,149 on behalf of the  Limited
Partners relating  to the  gain on  the sale  of the  property which  has  been
recorded as a deemed distribution  for financial statement purposes. The  basis
of the property was $3,938,156, which is net of accumulated depreciation of 
$4,161,190. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain
of $6,838,611 from the sale of this property. 

(b) In September 1996, the Partnership sold the Songbird Phase I&II  Apartments
in an all cash sale for $10,700,000.  The purchaser of the Songbird Apartments
took title subject to the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of 
$7,015,499. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $362,421 in
selling costs.  The basis of the property was $4,654,750, which is net of
accumulated depreciation of $4,211,703. For financial statement purposes, the
Partnership recognized a gain of $5,682,829 from the sale of this property.

(c) In  May  1994,  the Partnership  sold  the  Via El  Camino  Apartments  for
$7,150,000. From the proceeds of the  sale, the Partnership paid $5,530,000  in
full satisfaction of the property's first  mortgage loan. From the proceeds  of
the sale, the  Partnership paid  $160,884 in selling  costs. The  basis of  the
property sold was  $3,841,250, net of  accumulated depreciation of  $2,536,427.
For  financial  statement  purposes,  the  Partnership  recognized  a  gain  of
$3,147,866 from the sale of the property.

(d) In February 1994,  the Partnership sold the  Bemis Square Shopping  Center,
including a leasehold interest  in a portion of  the land, for $4,350,000.  The
purchaser assumed  the existing  first mortgage  loan of  $3,602,118. From  the
proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $159,275 in selling costs. The basis
of the property sold was $1,815,309, net of accumulated depreciation of        
$1,579,016. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain
of $2,375,416 from the sale of the property.

12. Extraordinary Items:

(a) In September 1996, the Partnership sold the Songbird Phase I&II Apartments.
In connection with the sale, the Partnership wrote off the remaining 
unamortized deferred financing fees in the amount of $192,960.  This amount was
recognized as an  extraordinary item  and classified as  a debt  extinguishment
expense.

(b) In October  1996, the  Partnership sold  the Eagles  Pointe Apartments.  In
connection with the sale, the Partnership paid $423,933 of prepayment penalties
and wrote off the remaining unamortized  deferred financing fees in the  amount
of $2,969. These amounts were recognized as extraordinary items and  classified
as debt extinguishment expense.
<PAGE>

13. Settlement Income:

In February 1996, the Partnership reached a settlement with the original seller
regarding the purchase  of the  Balcones Woods Apartments.  In connection  with
this settlement,  the Partnership  received $216,750  representing amounts  due
from the  seller  under the  management  and  guarantee agreement  as  well  as
construction defects at the property.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Partnership's financial instruments
at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and accrued  interest
receivable, accounts payable and restricted investments approximate fair value.

Based on borrowing rates available  to the Partnership at  the end of 1996  and
1995 for mortgage loans  with similar terms and  maturities, the fair value  of
the mortgage note payable approximates the carrying value.

15. Contingency:

The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership  and
certain affiliates  have  been named  as  defendants alleging  certain  federal
securities  law  violations  with  regard  to  the  adequacy  and  accuracy  of
disclosures of information concerning, as well as the marketing efforts related
to, the offering of the Limited  Partnership Interests of the Partnership.  The
defendants continue to vigorously  contest this action.  A plaintiff class  has
not yet been certified, and no determination  of the merits have been made.  It
is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this
action would  have a  material  adverse impact  on the  Partnership's  financial
position, results of operations or  liquidity. The Partnership believes it  has
meritorious defenses to contest the claims.

16. Subsequent Events:

(a) In January 1997, the Partnership made a distribution of $4,003,182  ($54.00
per Interest) to the  holders of Limited  Partnership Interests representing  a
quarterly distribution  of Net  Cash Receipts  of $4.00  per Interest  for  the
fourth quarter of 1996 and a  special distribution of $50.00 per Interest  from
Net Cash Proceeds primarily from the sale of Eagles Pointe Apartments.

(b) In  March 1997,  the Partnership  sold the  Balcones Woods  Apartments  for
$15,800,000. The purchaser of the Balcones Woods Apartments took title  subject
to the  existing first  mortgage loan  in the  amount of  $9,113,278. From  the

                     FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT OF SALE


     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT OF SALE (this "Amendment") is made and
entered into to be effective as of the 21st day of February, 1997, by and
between MID-AMERICA APARTMENTS OF TEXAS, L.P., a Texas limited partnership
("Purchaser"), and BW ASSOCIATES, LTD., an Illinois limited partnership
("Seller").

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are parties to that certain Agreement of
Sale entered into as of February 11, 1997 (the "Original Agreement"), pursuant
to which Seller agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agreed to purchase
from Seller, the "Property" (as defined in the Original Agreement); and

     WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser now desire to amend the Original Agreement
and the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and mutual
agreements contained herein, the payment of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree that the Original Agreement is
amended as follows:

     1.   All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, to the extent not
otherwise expressly defined herein, shall have the same meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Original Agreement.

     2.   On February 5, 1997, Purchaser delivered its Title Notice to Seller
pursuant to Section 3.B. of the Original Agreement.  The Title Notice raised
the density requirement contained in restrictions recorded in Volume 6568, Page
2105 of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas as a Disapproved Title
Exception.  Seller elected to not give a Response Notice.  Notwithstanding
anything contained in Section 3.B. of the Original Agreement to the contrary,
Purchaser shall have until February 28, 1997 to waive in writing its objection
to such Disapproved Title Exception and elect to proceed towards Closing.  If
Purchaser does not so elect on or before February 28, 1997, the Original
Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 3.B.

     3.   Except as amended herein, the terms and conditions of the Original
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and are hereby ratified in
their entirety.

     4.   This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
<PAGE>
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment is executed to be effective as of the
date first set forth above.
