Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Properties Fund XVIII
(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
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:

</TABLE>

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.

The general partner of the Partnership is Fox Partners, a California general
partnership, whose general 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 the Managing General
Partner resigned and IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of each
of those entities to be elected.

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

The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes.  The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:

                                                        Average       
                                                       Occupancy      
 Property                                           1996       1995

 Oak Run Apartments                                                 
    Dallas, Texas                                    97%         99%
                                                                   
 Overlook Point Apartments                                          
    Salt Lake City, Utah                             97%         95%


The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was
approximately $47,000 versus $23,000 for the same period of 1995.  The increase
in income is primarily attributable to an increase in rental income due to
rental rate increases at both of the Partnership's properties.  In addition,
other income increased due to the receipt in 1996 of a property tax refund
relating to 1995 property taxes.  Partially offsetting these increases to income
was an increase in general and administrative expenses due to an increase in
expense reimbursements related to the operation of two partnership
administration offices during the first quarter of 1996 and the relocation of
the partnership administration offices during the same period.  

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rent, 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 approximately
$1,066,000 as compared to $1,034,000 at March 31, 1995.  Net cash provided by
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996, increased
primarily as a result of the decrease in cash used by accrued expenses and other
liabilities including an increase in prepayments of rents.  Also contributing to
the increase was the increase in net income as discussed above.  Net cash used
in investing activities decreased due to a decrease in property improvements and
replacements due to the exterior renovations and the construction of a fitness
center at Oak Run in the first quarter of 1995.  The increase in cash used in
financing activities is due to the increase in principal payments on Oak Run's
first and second mortgages, as a result of increased cash flows at the property
in 1996.  Cash flows at Oak Run increased primarily as a result of the decrease
in capital expenditures in 1996.

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.  At the present time, the Partnership has no outstanding amounts
due under this line of credit.  Based on present plans, management 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 property 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 $18,998,000 is amortized over varying periods with balloon
payments due in 1999 and 2000 of approximately $7,869,000 and $6,489,000,
respectively, at which time the properties will either be refinanced or sold. 
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from
operations, property sales, and the availability of cash reserves.  No cash
distributions were made in 1995 or during the first quarter of 1996.  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.
