                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Properties Fund XVII
(the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1996,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to
the 1996 presentation.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on NPI Equity Investments II,
Inc. ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing General Partner") and its affiliates for the
management and administration of all partnership activities.  The Partnership
Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement
of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
  
The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia"), National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"), and affiliates of NPI
were charged to expense in 1996 and 1995:

For the period from January 19, 1996, to March 31, 1996, the Partnership insured
its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the Managing General Partner.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner
acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from
an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the current
year's master policy.  The current agent assumed the financial obligations to
the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received payments on these
obligations from the agent.  The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums
accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by
virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.


Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties - continued

The general partner of the Partnership is Fox Partners, a California general
partnership.  The general partners of Fox Partners are Fox Capital Management
Corporation ("FCMC"), a California corporation, Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a
California general partnership, and Fox Partners 82, a California general
partnership.

On December 6, 1993, the shareholders of FCMC entered into a Voting Trust
Agreement with NPI Equity pursuant to which NPI Equity was granted the right to
vote 100 percent of the outstanding stock of FCMC and NPI Equity became the
Managing General Partner of FRI.  As a result, NPI Equity became responsible for
the operation and management of the business and affairs of the Partnership and
the other investment partnerships originally sponsored by FCMC and/or FRI.  NPI
Equity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NPI.  The shareholders of FCMC and the
partners in FRI retain indirect economic interests in the Partnership and such
other investment limited partnerships, but have ceased to be responsible for the
operation and management of the Partnership and such other partnerships.

On August 17, 1995, the stockholders of NPI entered into an agreement to sell to
IFGP Corporation, a Delaware corporation, an affiliate of Insignia, a Delaware
corporation, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NPI, for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  The closing of the transactions
contemplated by the above mentioned agreement(the "Closing") occurred on January
19, 1996.

Upon the closing, the officers and directors of NPI and NPI Equity resigned and
IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of each of these entities to
be elected.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership's investment properties consist of five apartment complexes.

three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:

Cooper's Pond Apartments                       
  Tampa, Florida                              90%            91%

                                               
The Partnership generated net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
of approximately $76,000 compared to $81,000 for the comparable period of 1995. 
The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in general
and administrative expenses which was partially offset by an increase in other
income.  The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to an
increase in expense reimbursements related to costs associated with the
operation of two offices during the first quarter of 1996 and the relocation of
partnership administration during this same period.  The increase in other
income is due primarily to increased interest income as a result of the increase
in cash reserves held by the Partnership.  During the first quarter of 1996, the
Partnership invested in short-term T-bills so that a higher rate of return would
be earned on the Partnership's cash reserves.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expense.  As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect
the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by
increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level.  However, due
to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions
and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no
guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $3,470,000 compared
to $2,399,000 at March 31, 1995.  Net cash provided by operating activities
increased primarily as a result of increased accrued liabilities due to the
timing of the payment of various operating expenses.  Also contributing to the
increase in accrued liabilities was an increase in the amount of prepaid rent
collections at March 31, 1996.  Net cash used in investing activities increased
due to fewer withdrawals being made from capital improvement reserves. 

An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the
Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the
Partnership.  The Partnership has no outstanding amounts due under this line of
credit.  Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner does not
anticipate the need to borrow in the near future.  Other than cash and cash
equivalents, the line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of
liquidity.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.
The mortgage indebtedness of $35,711,000 net of discount,  matures at various
times with balloon payments due at maturity at which time the properties will
either be refinanced or sold.  Future cash distributions will depend on the
levels of net cash generated from operations, property sales and the
availability of cash reserves.  No cash distributions were made in 1995 or
during the first three months of 1996.  Currently, the Managing General Partner
is evaluating the feasibility of a distribution during 1996.  At this time, it
appears that the original investment objective of capital growth from inception
of the Partnership will not be attained and that investors will not receive a
return of all of their invested capital.
