Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


This item should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and other Items contained elsewhere in this Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant holds investments in and operates residential real estate properties,
with apartments leased to tenants subject to leases of up to one year. 
Registrant receives rental income from its properties and is responsible for
operating expenses, administrative expenses, capital improvements and debt
service payments.  As of August 1, 1995, seven of the twelve properties
originally purchased by Registrant were sold or otherwise disposed.

Registrant uses working capital reserves provided from any undistributed cash
flow from operations, sales and refinancing proceeds as its primary source of
liquidity.  There have been no distributions since 1985. All of Registrant's
properties (except for Cooper's Pond) experienced positive cash flow, during the
six months ended June 30, 1995.  It is not currently anticipated that Registrant
will make any distributions from operations in the near future.

The level of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents experienced a
$1,531,000 increase at June 30, 1995, as compared to December 31, 1994. 
Registrant's $1,533,000 of net cash from operating activities and $198,000 of

net cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by $200,000 of
notes payable principal payments (financing activities).  Cash provided by
operations improved at June 30, 1995, as compared to June 30, 1994, primarily
due improved operations.  Cash provided by investing activities consisted of
$733,000 received from a reserve for capital improvements as reimbursement for
Registrant's prior year real estate improvements.  Registrant also spent
$535,000 for real estate improvements during the six months ended June 30,
1995.  Other than the $863,000 that Registrant has in reserve for capital
improvements, Registrant has no significant capital expenditures planned for
the year.  All other increases (decreases) in certain assets and liabilities
are the result of the timing of receipt and payment of various operating
activities, none of which were significant.

On August 3, 1995, Registrant paid $910,000 to satisfy in full the $1,037,000
second mortgage encumbering the Village in the Woods Apartments at a discount. 
Registrant will recognize a $127,000 extraordinary gain on extinguishment of
debt during the third quarter of 1995.

Working capital reserves are primarily invested in repurchase agreements
secured by United States Treasury obligations.  The Managing General Partner
believes that, if market conditions remain relatively stable, cash flow from
operations, when combined with working capital reserves, will be sufficient to
fund required capital improvements and regular debt service payments in 1995
and the foreseeable future.  Registrant has balloon payments due in 1998 and
1999 totaling $876,000 and $10,768,000, respectively.  Although the Managing
General Partner is confident that all mortgages can be refinanced or extended
in an orderly fashion, if the mortgages are not extended, or refinanced, or
the properties not sold, the properties could be lost through foreclosure.

As required by the terms of the settlement of the actions brought against,
among others, DeForest Ventures I L.P. ("DeForest") relating to the tender
offer made by DeForest in October 1994 (the "First Tender Offer") for units of
limited partnership interest in Registrant and certain affiliated
partnerships, DeForest commenced a second tender offer (the "Second Tender
Offer") on June 2, 1995 for units of limited partnership interest in
Registrant.  Pursuant to the Second Tender Offer, DeForest acquired an

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

additional 3,861 units of Registrant which, when added to the units acquired
during the First Tender Offer, represents approximately 34.1% of the  total
number of outstanding units of Registrant.  The Managing General Partner
believes that the tender will not have a significant impact on future
operations or liquidity of Registrant (see Part II, Item 1, Litigation). Also
in connection with the settlement, an affiliate of the Managing General

Partner has made available to Registrant a credit line of up to $150,000 per
property owned by Registrant.  Based on present plans, management does not
anticipate the need to borrow in the near future.

At this time, it appears that the investment objective of capital growth will
not be attained and that investors will not receive a return of all of their
invested capital.  The extent to which invested capital is returned to
investors is dependent upon the performance of Registrant's properties and the
markets in which such properties are located and on the sales price of the
remaining properties.  In this regard, all of the remaining properties have
been held longer than originally expected. The ability to hold and operate
these properties is dependent on Registrant's ability to obtain refinancing or
debt modification as required.

Real Estate Market

The national real estate market has suffered from the effects of the real
estate recession including, but not limited to a downward trend in market
values of existing residential properties.  In addition, the bail out of the
savings and loan associations and sales of foreclosed properties by auction
reduced market values and caused a further restriction on the ability to
obtain credit.  As a result, Registrant's ability to refinance or sell its
existing properties may be restricted.  These factors caused a decline in
market property values and serve to reduce market rental rates and/or sales
prices.  Compounding these difficulties have been relatively low interest
rates, which encourage existing and potential tenants to purchase homes.  In
addition, there has been a significant decline nationally in new household
formation.  Despite the above, the rental market appears to be experiencing a
gradual strengthening and management anticipates that increases in revenue
will generally exceed increases in expenses during 1995. Furthermore,
management believes that the emergence of new institutional purchasers,
including real estate investment trusts and insurance companies, should create
a more favorable market for Registrant's properties in the future.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

Operating results improved by $586,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to 1994, due to increases in revenues of $422,000 and decreases in
expenses of $164,000.

Revenues increased by $422,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, as
compared to 1994, due to increases in rental revenue of $378,000 and interest
income of $44,000.  Rental revenue increased primarily due to an increase in
rental rates at all of Registrant's properties, which was partially offset by
a slight increase in concessions at Village in the Woods Apartments. 
Occupancy remained relatively stable at all of Registrant's properties. 
Interest income increased due to an increase in average working capital
reserves available for investment and the effect of higher interest rates.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994 (Continued)

Expenses declined by $164,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, as
compared to 1994, due to decreases in general and administrative expenses of
$173,000, operating expenses of $1,000 and interest expense of $10,000, which
were only slightly offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $20,000. 
General and administrative expenses decreased due to a reduction in asset
management costs effective July 1, 1994.  Operating, interest and depreciation
expense remained relatively constant.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

Operating results improved by $341,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995, as compared to 1994, due to increases in revenues of $228,000 and
decreases in expenses of $113,000.

Revenues increased by $228,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, as
compared to 1994, due to increases in rental revenue of $201,000 and interest
income of $27,000.  Rental revenue increased primarily due to an increase in
rental rates at all of Registrant's properties, which was partially offset by
a decrease in occupancy at Coopers Pond Apartments.  Occupancy at Registrant's
other properties remained relatively constant.  Interest income increased due
to an increase in average working capital reserves available for investment
and the effect of higher interest rates.

Expenses declined by $113,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, as
compared to 1994, due to decreases in general and administrative expenses of
$103,000, operating expenses of $12,000 and interest expense of $8,000, which
were only slightly offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $10,000. 
General and administrative expenses decreased due to a reduction in asset
management costs effective July 1, 1994.  Operating, interest and depreciation
expense remained relatively constant.
