fee equal to 5% of the annual gross receipts from certain properties it
manages.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, affiliates of
NPI, Inc. received $100,000 and $65,000, respectively.  These fees are
included in operating expenses.

    (c)  An affiliate of NPI, Inc. was paid $7,000 relating to a
successful real estate tax appeal on the Partnership's Overlook Point
Apartments property during the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This fee
is included in operating expenses.

3.  Disposition of Rental Property

In February 1994, the Partnership sold Plantation Ridge Apartments,
located in Marietta, Georgia for $15,353,000.  The existing loans of
$13,653,000 were assumed by the buyer at the time of sale.  After
assumption of the existing loans and costs of the sale of $210,000,
proceeds to the Partnership were $1,490,000.  At the date of sale, the
carrying amount of real estate was $13,897,000.  For financial statement
purposes, the Partnership recorded a $1,246,000 gain on sale of property
during 1994.

4.  Legal Proceedings

On May 19, 1995 final approval was given by the Court to a settlement
agreement relating to the tender offer litigation.  As required by the
terms of the settlement agreement, DeForest Ventures I L.P. ("DeForest")
commenced a second tender offer (the "Second Tender Offer") on June 2,
1995 for units of limited partnership in the Partnership.  Pursuant to
the Second Tender Offer, DeForest acquired an additional 3,667 limited
partnership units of the Partnership.

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


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant's remaining real estate properties consist of two residential
apartment complexes located in Utah and Texas, which are currently
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, ten 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, refinancing proceeds and sales proceeds as
its primary source of liquidity.  Cash distributions from operations
remained suspended during the second quarter of 1995.  In order to
preserve working capital reserves required for future capital
improvements to properties and potential debt modifications, 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 $130,000 increase at June 30, 1995, as compared to December 31, 1994. 
Registrant's $429,000 of cash provided by operating activities was only
partially offset by $213,000 of improvements to real estate (investing
activities) and $86,000 of mortgage principal payments (financing
activities).  Additions to real estate consisted of exterior renovations
at Registrant's Oak Run Apartments property.  Registrant has no plans
for significant capital improvements at either of its properties during
1995.  All other increases (decreases) in certain assets and liabilities
are the result of the timing of receipt and payment of various operating
activities.

Working capital reserves are invested in a money market account or
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 substantial balloon payments due in
1999 and 2000 of approximately $7,869,000 and $6,489,000.  Although
management is confident that these mortgages can be replaced, if the
mortgages are not extended or refinanced, or the properties are 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 additional 3,667 units of Registrant which,
when added to the units acquired during the First Tender Offer,
represents approximately 28.5% 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.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

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, 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
bailout 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 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 value for Registrant's properties in the
future.

Results of Operations

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

Operating results declined by $940,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995, as compared to 1994.  The decline in operating results is due to
the $1,246,000 gain on the disposition of Plantation Ridge Apartments
recognized in February 1994.  With respect to the remaining properties,
operating results improved by $83,000.

Revenues declined by $1,387,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to 1994, due to the previously mentioned property
disposition.  With respect to the remaining properties, rental revenue
increased by $196,000 due to an increase in rental rates at both of
Registrant's remaining properties, coupled with an increase in occupancy
at Registrant's Oak Run Apartments.  Interest income increased by
$10,000 due to an increase in average working capital reserves available
for investment and the effect of higher interest rates.

Expenses decreased by $447,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to 1994, primarily due to the disposition of Plantation
Ridge Apartments in February 1994.  With respect to the remaining
properties,  expenses increased by $113,000,  due to an increase in
operating expenses of

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)

$54,000 and interest expense of $59,000.  Interest expense increased due
to higher interest rates on the variable rate mortgage encumbering
Registrant's Oak Run Apartments property, which was only slightly offset
by the modification of Registrant's Overlook Apartments at a lower
interest rate in February 1994.  Depreciation expense remained
relatively constant.  General and administrative expenses declined by
$114,000 primarily due to a reduction in asset management costs.

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

Operating results improved by $97,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1995, as compared to 1994, due to an increase in revenues of
$105,000, which was only partially offset by an increase in expenses of
$8,000.

Revenues increased by $105,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to 1994, due to increases in rental revenue of $99,000 and
interest income of $6,000.  Rental revenue increased at both of
Registrant's properties due to an increase in rental rates and a slight
increase in occupancy.  Interest income increased due to an increase in
average working capital reserves available for investment and the effect
of higher interest rates.

Expenses increased by $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to 1994, due to increases in operating expenses of $49,000
and interest expense of $21,000, which was only partially offset by
decreases in depreciation expense of $1,000 and general and
administrative expenses of $61,000.  Interest expense increased due to
higher interest rates on the variable rate mortgage encumbering
Registrant's Oak Run Apartments property.  General and administrative
expenses declined primarily due to a reduction in asset management
costs.  Depreciation expense remained relatively constant.
