(1)  Accounting Policies
     
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this report on
     Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of the General Partners of Krupp
     Realty Fund, Ltd.-III, (the "Partnership"), the disclosures contained in
     this report are adequate to make the information presented not
     misleading.  See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
     the Partnership's annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 1995 for additional information relevant to significant accounting
     policies followed by the Partnership.

     In the opinion of the General Partners of the Partnership, the
     accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all
     adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
     present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30,
     1996, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 and 1995.  Certain prior year balances have been
     reclassified to conform with the current year consolidated financial
     statement presentation.

     The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
     30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
     expected for the full year.  See Management's Discussion and Analysis of
     Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report.

     monthly at a rate of 5% of the gross receipts from the properties under
     management.  The Partnership also reimburses affiliates of the General
     Partners for certain expenses incurred in connection with the operation
     of the Partnership and its properties including accounting, computer,
     insurance, travel, legal and payroll; and with the preparation and
     mailing of reports and other communications to the Limited Partners.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS  OF OPERATIONS
                                      
Liquidity and Capital Resources

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning
Management's expectations regarding the future financial performance and
future events.  These forward-looking statements involve significant risk and
uncertainties, including those described herein.  Actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is
dependent primarily upon the operations of its real estate investments.  Such
ability is also dependent upon the future availability of bank borrowings and
the potential refinancing and sale of the Partnership's remaining real estate
investments.  These sources of liquidity will be used by the Partnership for
payment of expenses related to real estate operations, capital expenditures,
debt service and expenses.  Cash Flow, if any, as calculated under Section
8.2(a) of the Partnership Agreement, will then be available for distribution
to the Partners.  Due to improvements in the operations of the properties, the
Partnership has sufficient Cash Flow to increase semi-annual distributions
from an annual rate of $11.90 per Unit in 1995, to an annual rate of $15.86
per Unit in 1996.

The Partnership has spent approximately $692,000 for capital improvements at
its properties to date this year.  The Partnership believes that the
improvements are necessary to compete with current market conditions, produce
quality rental units and absorb excess market supply at the properties'
respective locations.  Renovations have included the replacement of
countertops, carpeting, appliances, and exterior painting and paving at
Hannibal Grove.  Improvements are expected to continue throughout the
remainder of the year. 

Cash Flow

Shown below, as required by the Partnership Agreement, is the calculation of
Cash Flow of the Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 
The General Partners provide certain of the information below to meet
requirements of the Partnership Agreement and because they believe that it is
an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance.  However, Cash
Flow should not be considered by the reader as a substitute to net income
(loss), as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to cash
flow as a measure of liquidity.

Operations

Cash Flow, net of working capital reserves, increased during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1995, primarily due to a decrease in capital improvement expenditures.

Rental revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, as a
result of increased rental rates at the Partnership's properties.  During the
same periods, other income also increased due to higher cash and cash
equivalent balances available for investment.

During the three months ended September 30, 1996, total expenses increased as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995, due to increases in
operating and real estate tax expenses, partially offset by a decrease in
general and administrative expense.  The increase in operating expense is due
to an adjustment of 1994 reimbursable expenses recorded in 1995, relating to
the operation of the Partnership and its properties.  Real estate taxes
increased due to higher property assessments.  General and administrative
expense decreased as a result of costs incurred in 1995 relating to the
valuation of the Partnership's properties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, total expenses increased, as
compared to the same period in 1995, due to an increase in operating expense,
partially offset by decreases in both real estate tax and general and
administrative expenses.  Operating expense increased due to greater utility
consumption as a result of the unusually harsh winter weather, prior years'
insurance refunds received in 1995, and an increase in reimbursable expenses,
as described above.  The decrease in real estate tax expense is the result of
a 1995 real estate tax refund for Dorsey's Forge received in 1996, partially
offset by a rise in property assessments.  General and administrative expenses
also decreased as discussed above.

Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, increased
in conjunction with capital improvement expenditures.

General

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of",
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, the
Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing impairment of
its real estate assets.

The investments in properties are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation unless the General Partners believe there is a significant
impairment in value, in which case a provision to write down investments in
properties to fair value will be charged against income.  At this time, the
General Partners do not believe that any assets of the Partnership are
significantly impaired.
