   ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

      Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
   formed on April 23,  1982 with The Krupp Company and The Krupp  Corporation
   as  the General  Partners.   The  Partnership issued  all of  the  Original
   Limited Partner  Interests to The Krupp Company (See Note A to Consolidated
   Financial  Statements included in  Item 8  (Appendix A) of  this report for
   additional  information).  The  primary business  of the  Partnership is to
   invest  in, operate,  refinance and  ultimately dispose  of  properties and
   related assets of the Partnership.  The Partnership considers itself to  be
   engaged only in the industry segment of investment in real estate.

      The Partnership's real estate  investments are subject to some  seasonal
   fluctuations  due   to  changes   in  utility   consumption  and   seasonal
   maintenance  expenditures.    However,   the  future  performance   of  the
   Partnership  will depend  upon factors  which  cannot  be predicted.   Such
   factors include  general economic and  real estate  market conditions, both
   on a national basis  and in those areas where the Partnership's investments
   are  located, real  estate tax  rates,  operating expenses,  energy  costs,
   government  regulations,  and federal  and  state  income  tax  laws.   The
   requirements  for compliance with  federal, state  and local regulations to
   date  have not had  an adverse effect on  the Partnership's operations, and
   no adverse effect is anticipated in the future. 

      The  Partnership's investments in real  estate are also  subject to such
   risks  as (i) competition from  existing and future projects  held by other
   owners  in  the  areas  of  the  Partnership's  properties,  (ii)  possible
   reduction in  rental income due to  an inability to maintain high occupancy
   levels, (iii)  possible adverse  changes in  mortgage interest rates,  (iv)
   possible adverse changes in general economic  and local conditions, such as
   competitive over-building,  increased  unemployment or  adverse changes  in
   real estate zoning laws,  and the possible future adoption of rent  control
   legislation  which would not  permit the full amount  of increased costs to
   be passed  on to  tenants in  the  form of  rent increases,  and (v)  other
   circumstances over which the Partnership may have little or no control.

      As  of  December 31,  1995, there  were  26 full  and  part-time on-site
   personnel employed by the Partnership.

   ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

      As  of December 31, 1995,  the Partnership had  leveraged investments in
   three apartment complexes having an aggregate of 990 units.

      A  summary of  the Partnership's  real estate  investments  is presented
   below.

</TABLE>
         In  July 1993,  in conjunction  with  the refinancing  of Brookeville
   Apartments with the Department  of Housing and  Urban Development  ("HUD"),
   the  General Partners  of  the  Partnership created  Brookeville Apartments
   Limited Partnership  ("Brookeville L.P.").   The property  was subsequently
   transferred to  Brookeville L.P.,  with  the Partnership  retaining a  100%
   interest in Brookeville L.P..

   ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         There  are  no  material  pending  legal  proceedings  to  which  the
   Partnership is a party or of which any of its property is the subject.

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

         None.

   ITEM 5.     MARKET   FOR  THE  REGISTRANT'S   COMMON  EQUITY   AND  RELATED
               STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         The  transfer of units of  Limited Partner Interest  (the "Units") is
   subject  to certain  limitations  contained  in the  Partnership Agreement.
   There is no public market for the Units  and it is not anticipated that any
   such public market will develop.

         The number of Investor Limited  Partners as of December 31,  1995 was
   approximately 1,700.

         One  of the  objectives  of  the  Partnership  is  to  generate  cash
   available for  distribution,  however, there  is no  assurance that  future
   operations will generate cash  available for distribution.  The Partnership
   discontinued distributions  during 1990  because of insufficient  operating
   cash flow.  Subsequently, property 
   operations  improved  and  distributions  were  reinstituted  and  paid  in
   August,  1994.    The   Partnership  anticipates  that  distributions  will
   continue and be paid semi-annually.

         The Partnership  made the  following  distributions to  its  Partners
   during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994:

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

   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  and
   reduced debt service, the Partnership had sufficient cash flow in 1994 to
   reinstate  distributions at  a rate  of  $3.97 per  Unit.   In 1995,  the
   distribution  rate  increased  to   $11.90  per  Unit.    In   1996,  the
   distribution rate is scheduled to increase to a rate of $15.86 per Unit.

      Renovations at  the Partnership's  properties have  resulted in  higher
   occupancies and increased rental revenue through 1994 and into 1995.  The
   Partnership   is  planning   on   spending  approximately   $467,000   on
   improvements  at  Brookeville  in  1996  including  the  replacement   of
   cabinets, countertops, carpeting  and appliances, of  which approximately
   $125,000  will be funded from  the replacement reserve  escrow.  Dorsey's
   Forge and Oakland  Meadows ("Dorsey's") and  Hannibal Grove  ("Hannibal")
   are  budgeting $260,000  and $435,000,  respectively, in  improvements in
   1996.

   Cash Flow

      Shown  below,   as  required  by  the  Partnership  Agreement,  is  the
   calculation of Cash Flow  of the Partnership for the  year ended December
   31, 1995.   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 flows as a measure of liquidity.

</TABLE>

   Operations

   1995 Compared to 1994

      In comparing 1995 to  1994, cash flow improved primarily as a result of
   a   reduction  in capital expenditures.   The increase  in rental revenue
   during 1995 as compared  to 1994 is due  to increases in rental  rates at
   all  the Partnership's  properties.   The  increase  in rental  rates  is
   related to the capital improvement programs undertaken at the properties.
   Average  occupancy at  Hannibal and  Dorsey's remained  relatively stable
   during 1995 at 93%  and 94%, respectively.  Occupancy  remained stable at
   Brookeville despite a fire during 1995.

      Total expenses of the  Partnership, net of depreciation, have decreased
   slightly  in 1995,  as compared to  1994.  Savings  in operating expenses
   were due to management's  efforts in reducing reimbursable costs.   These
   savings were offset  by an increase in maintenance expenses  due to minor
   fire  damage at Brookeville.  Depreciation increased in 1995, as compared
   to 1994, as a result of capital improvement programs at the properties.

      The Partnership  expects occupancy to remain  stable in  1996, with the
   opportunity  for a slight increase.  Renovations at Brookeville will take
   place  throughout the  year, and the  improved physical  condition should
   increase the occupancy level and rental revenue at Brookeville.

   1994 Compared to 1993

      In comparing 1994 to 1993, the increase in  cash flow was primarily due
   to  increased rental revenue  and a reduction  in interest  expense.  The
   increase in rental revenue in 1994,  as compared to 1993 is due primarily
   to an increase in  rents across the Partnership's properties.   Following
   the completion of renovations at Hannibal, the property was able to lower
   concessions  and   increase  occupancy  and  thereby  increase  revenues.
   Average occupancy rates at Hannibal and Dorsey's during 1994 were 94% and
   95%, respectively, a significant  increase compared to 1993  occupancy of
   88% and 92%, respectively.  Vacancies have decreased during 1994 compared
   to 1993 due to improved market conditions and absorption of excess market
   supply where properties are located.  

      The refinancings  of the Partnership's properties in 1993 decreased the
   effective interest  rates the properties were  previously paying, thereby
   decreasing interest expense for 1994 as compared to 1993.

   General

      In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards 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
 <PAGE>
   General Partners  do not believe  that any assets of  the Partnership are
   significantly impaired.

   To the Partners of Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III:


               We  have  audited  the consolidated  financial  statements and
   financial  statement   schedule  of  Krupp  Realty   Fund,  Ltd.-III  and
   Subsidiary (the  "Partnership") listed in the  index on page F-2  of this
   Form  10-K .  These financial statements and financial statement schedule
   are   the  responsibility   of   the  Partnership's   management.     Our
   responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
   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 consolidated  financial
   position  of Krupp Realty Fund,  Ltd.-III and Subsidiary  at December 31,
   1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their
   cash flows for each of the  three years in the period ended December  31,

   1995  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.

                    KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD.-III AND SUBSIDIARY

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                              

   A.  Organization

        Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III (the "Partnership")  was formed on April 23,
        1982 by filing a Certificate of  Limited Partnership in The Commonwealth
        of  Massachusetts.   The  Partnership terminates  on December  31, 2020,
        unless   earlier  terminated  upon   the  sale   of  the   last  of  the
        Partnership's properties  or the occurrence  of certain  other events as
        set forth in the  Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership issued all  of
        the  General  Partner Interests  to  The  Krupp  Company  and The  Krupp
        Corporation in  exchange for  capital contributions  aggregating $1,000.
        Except under  certain  limited  circumstances  upon termination  of  the
        Partnership,  the  General  Partners  are  not   required  to  make  any
        additional capital contributions.   The Partnership has also issued  all
        of the  Original  Limited Partner  Interests  to  The Krupp  Company  in
        exchange  for a capital  contribution of  $4,000.   The Original Limited
        Partner is not required to make  any additional capital contributions to
        the  Partnership.   The  purchasers  of  the  25,000  units of  Investor
        Limited Partner Interests ("Units"), at a price  of $1,000 per Unit  are
        the Investor Limited Partners.

   B.   Significant Accounting Policies

        The Partnership  uses the  following accounting  policies for  financial
        reporting  purposes, which  may differ  in certain  respects  from those
        used for federal income tax purposes (see Note F).

           Basis of Presentation

           The  consolidated   financial  statements  present  the  consolidated
           assets,  liabilities  and  operations   of  the  Partnership.     All
           intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  

           Risks and Uncertainties

           The Partnership  invests  its cash  primarily in  deposits and  money
           market  funds  with  commercial  banks.    The  Partnership  has  not
           experienced any losses to date on its invested cash.

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

        <PAGE>
        Cash Equivalents

           The Partnership includes all  short-term investments with  maturities
           of three  months or  less from  the date  of acquisition in  cash and
           cash equivalents.  The cash investments  are recorded at cost,  which
           approximates current market values.

           Rental Revenues

           Leases require  the  payment of  rent  monthly  in advance.    Rental
           revenues are recorded on the accrual basis.

           Depreciation

           Depreciation is provided for by the  use of the straight-line  method
           over estimated useful lives as follows:

                Buildings and improvements            5 - 25   years
                Appliances, carpeting and equipment    3-15 years

           Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

           In  accordance   with  Financial   Accounting   Standards  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.

           Deferred Expenses

           The  Partnership   amortizes  costs  incurred   in  connection   with
           obtaining mortgages over the life of  the related mortgage using  the
           straight-line method.

           Income Taxes

           The Partnership  is not liable  for federal or state  income taxes as
           Partnership income  or loss is allocated  to the  Partners for income
           tax  purposes.   In  the  event  the  Partnership's  tax returns  are
           examined by  the Internal  Revenue Service or state  taxing authority
           and the  examination  results  in  a change  in  Partnership  taxable
           income or loss, such change will be reported to the Partners.

           Reclassifications

           Certain prior  year balances have  been reclassified  to conform with
           current year financial statement presentation.

               Brookeville

               Non-recourse first mortgage note payable in the original  amount
               of $8,755,000 to the Department of Housing and Urban Development
               ("HUD").  The mortgage note requires monthly payments of $60,600
               consisting  of principal and interest  at the rate  of 7.75% per
               annum.   In  addition,  the Partnership  is  required to  pay  a
               monthly deposit of $5,158  to an escrow account  to be used  for
               future property  replacements and  improvements  and a  mortgage
               insurance  premium equal  to .5%  per annum  of the  outstanding
               principal  balance.   The note matures  on August  1, 2028.   In
               accordance  with HUD regulations,  distributions are  limited to
               the  extent  of Surplus  Cash, as  defined.   The  mortgage note
               payable is collateralized by the property and may not be prepaid
               for a period of five years and, thereafter, during the next five
               years  beginning August  1, 1998,  may be  prepaid subject  to a
               declining prepayment  penalty of 5% to 1%,  respectively.  After
               August 1, 2003, there is no prepayment penalty.  

               Based  on  the  borrowing  rates  currently  available  to   the
               Partnership for  bank  loans  with  similar  terms  and  average
               maturities, the fair  value of long-term  debt is  approximately
               $8,400,000.

               Hannibal and Dorsey's

               Non-recourse mortgage notes payable for Hannibal and Dorsey's of
               $6,800,000 and $5,000,000,  respectively, at the  rate of  9.25%
               per annum.  Monthly principal and interest payments  are $62,333
               for Hannibal and $45,833  for Dorsey's. The notes mature  on May
               3,  2000   at  which  time  all   unpaid  principal,  $5,653,175
               (Hannibal)  and $4,156,746 (Dorsey's),  and any accrued interest
               are due.  The  mortgage notes payable are collateralized  by the
               respective  properties.  The notes  may not be  prepaid prior to
               June  1,  1998  and thereafter,  may  be  prepaid  subject to  a
               prepayment penalty.  The prepayment  penalty will be the greater
               of 1) the principal balance multiplied by the difference between
               9.4301%  and the  yield  rate on  publicly traded  U.S. Treasury
               Securities having the closest matching maturity date as reported
               in  the  Wall Street  Journal,  or 2)  ten  percent of  the then
               outstanding principal.  
   <PAGE>
               Based  on  the  borrowing  rates  currently  available  to   the
               Partnership for  bank  loans  with  similar  terms  and  average
               maturities, the  fair value of  long-term debt for  Hannibal and
               Dorsey's   is   approximately    $6,700,000   and    $4,900,000,
               respectively.

        The annual  required principal payments  on the  mortgage notes  payable
        due  in  the  five  years  1996  through  2000  are  $334,208, $365,482,
        $399,694, $437,124 and $10,020,473, respectively.

        During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the  Partnership paid $1,719,579, $1,745,712
        and $1,819,273 of interest, respectively, on its mortgage notes.

   D.   Partners' Deficit

        Under the  terms of the Partnership  Agreement, profits  and losses from
        operations  are allocated 95%  to the  Investor Limited  Partners, 4% to
        the Original Limited Partner  and 1% to the General Partners until  such
        time that  the Investor Limited Partners have received a return of their
        total  invested  capital  plus  a  9%  per  annum  Cumulative  Return on
        Investment  thereon  and  thereafter,   65%  to  the   Investor  Limited
        Partners,  28% to the  Original Limited  Partner and  7% to  the General
        Partners.

        Also,  under   the  Partnership   Agreement,  cash  distributions   from
        operations  are generally made on  the same basis  as the allocations of
        profits and  losses described above.   Net cash  proceeds, as determined
        by  the   General  Partners,   resulting  from   transactions  such   as
        refinancing or  sale of a  property, are to  be distributed as  follows:
        1) to  the Investor Limited  Partners until they have  received a return
        of  their total Invested  Capital; 2)  to the  Investor Limited Partners
        until they have received an amount equal to their Cumulative  Return  on
        Investment in respect of all fiscal years of  the Partnership; 3) to the
        Original  Limited Partner and General Partners until  they have received
        a  return  of  their  total  Invested  Capital;  4)  to  an unaffiliated
        brokerage  firm (the "sales  agent") to  the extent  of any subordinated
        Financial Consulting Fee then due, and;  5) any remaining Cash  Proceeds
        shall be distributed  65% to the Investor  Limited Partners, 28%  to the
        Original   Limited   Partner   and   7%   to   the   General   Partners.
        Notwithstanding  anything above, the  General Partners  shall, under all
        circumstances, receive  at least  1% of  all distributions  of net  cash
        proceeds from a capital transaction.

        In general,  the allocation of profits  and losses  are calculated based
        on  the  terms  of  the  Partnership   Agreement,  as  described  above.
        However,  the Internal  Revenue Code  contains  rules which  govern  the
        allocation of  tax losses among  partners.  For 1995,  the allocation of
        tax losses was  calculated based on these rules.   Under this code,  tax
        losses are  not allocated  to a  limited  partner if  a general  partner
        bears  the  economic  risk for  that  loss.    Due  to  operating losses
        incurred  during   1995,  the  General   Partners  undertook  additional
        liabilities  on behalf of the Partnership.  As a result, the Partnership
        allocated   additional  tax  losses   to  the   General  Partners.    In
        conjunction with the  tax election referred  to above,  the consolidated
        financial  statements presented  herein  reflect  the allocation  of net
        loss in accordance with the rules of the Internal Revenue Code.

        <PAGE>
        As of December 31, 1995  the following cumulative  partner contributions
        and allocations have been made since the inception of the Partnership:

   E.  Related Party Transactions 

       Commencing with the date of acquisition of the Partnership's properties,
       the Partnership entered into agreements under which property  management
       fees are paid to an affiliate of the General Partners for services as 
       management agent.   Such agreements provide for  management fees payable
       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.

       Amounts  accrued or  paid to  the General  Partners or  their affiliates
       during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:
