$7,982,491 from the sale of this property.

5. Extraordinary Item:

In connection with  the sale  of the Desert  Sands Village  Apartments in  June
1996, the remaining unamortized deferred expenses in the amount of $56,825 were
recognized as  an  extraordinary item  and  classified as  debt  extinguishment
expense.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Realty Investors-83 (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership  formed
in  1981  to  invest  in  and  operate  income-producing  real  property.   The
Partnership raised $75,005,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests  and
utilized these  proceeds to  acquire  eleven real  property investments  and  a
minority joint venture interest in one additional real property. Prior to 1996,
four properties and the property in which the Partnership held a minority joint
venture interest were sold or relinquished through foreclosure to the  lenders.
During 1996,  the Partnership  sold one  additional property.  The  Partnership
continues to operate its six remaining properties.

Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to
the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged
to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis
contained in the annual  report for 1995 for  a more complete understanding  of
the Partnership's financial position.

Operations
- ----------

Summary of Operations
- ---------------------

The Partnership recognized a substantially larger  gain related to the sale  of
Desert Sands  Village Apartments  during  June 1996  as  compared to  the  gain
recognized during June 1995 related to the sale of North Cove Apartments.  This
was the primary reason for  the increase in net income  for the six months  and
quarter ended June 30, 1996  as compared to the  same periods in 1995.  Further
discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------

Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1996 and 1995 refer
to both the six months and quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

The sale of North Cove Apartments in June 1995 resulted in decreases in  rental
and service income, interest expense  on mortgage notes payable,  depreciation,
property operating expenses,  real estate  taxes and  property management  fees
during 1996 as compared to 1995.  

Due to lower average  cash balances as  a result of  a special distribution  to
Limited Partners in  October 1995,  interest income  on short-term  investments
decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995.

The Partnership  reached  a  settlement  with  the  seller  of  the  Deer  Oaks
Apartments in February 1996 and received $208,250 of settlement income relating
primarily to amounts  due from the  seller under the  management and  guarantee
agreement.
<PAGE>
In June 1996,  the Partnership  sold the  Desert Sands  Village Apartments  and
recognized a  gain on  sale of  $7,982,491. In  connection with  the sale,  the
Partnership fully amortized the  remaining deferred expenses  in the amount  of
$56,825. Additionally, in June 1995, the first mortgage loan collateralized  by
Deer Oaks Apartments was  refinanced, and a prepayment  penalty of $43,153  was
incurred. Also  in  June 1995,  the  North Cove  Apartments  was sold  and  the
remaining  unamortized  deferred  expenses  in  the  amount  of  $56,000   were
recognized.  For  financial  statement  purposes,  these  three  amounts   were
recognized  as  extraordinary  items  and  classified  as  debt  extinguishment
expenses.

During 1995, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of
debt of $40,653 in  connection with the settlement  reached with the seller  of
the Springs Pointe and Desert Sands Village apartment complexes.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The cash position of the  Partnership increased by approximately $4,985,000  as
of June 30, 1996 when  compared to December 31, 1995  due primarily to the  net
proceeds received in  connection with the  June 1996 sale  of the Desert  Sands
Village Apartments.  Cash  flow of  approximately  $1,533,000 was  provided  by
operating activities during  1996 consisting  primarily of cash  flow from  the
operations of  the  Partnership's  properties, interest  income  on  short-term
investments and settlement  income received from  the seller of  the Deer  Oaks
Apartments, which  were  partially  offset by  the  payment  of  administrative
expenses. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of proceeds from  the
sale of  Desert  Sands Village  Apartments  of approximately  $14,529,000  less
selling costs  of approximately  $124,000. Cash  used in  financing  activities
consisted of distributions to the Limited Partners of approximately $1,688,000,
the repayment of the mortgage note  payable on Desert Sands Village  Apartments
of approximately $8,952,000 and principal payments of approximately $313,000 on
mortgage notes payable.

The Partnership  classifies the  cash  flow performance  of its  properties  as
either positive,  a  marginal deficit  or  a significant  deficit,  each  after
consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is
considered to be  significant if  it exceeds $250,000  annually or  20% of  the
property's rental  and  service  income.  The  Partnership  defines  cash  flow
generated from its  properties as  an amount  equal to  the property's  revenue
receipts  less  property  related  expenditures,  which  include  debt  service
payments. During  1996  and  1995,  all  of  the  Partnership's  six  remaining
properties generated positive cash flow.  The North Cove Apartments, which  was
sold in June 1995, generated a marginal cash flow deficit during 1995 prior  to
its sale.  The Desert Sands Village Apartments was sold in June 1996 and 
generated positive cash flow in 1996 and 1995.  As of June 30, 1996, the 
occupancy  rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 94% to 97%. 

While the cash flow of certain  of the Partnership's properties have  improved,
the General Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at  improving
the cash flow  of the  Partnership's properties  including improving  operating
performance and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow. 
<PAGE>
The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties
is favorable to sellers of these properties. During June 1996, the  Partnership
sold the  Desert  Sands  Village Apartments.  Currently,  the  Partnership  has
entered into  a contract  to sell  the  Walnut Ridge  - Phase  I and  Phase  II
apartment complexes  for  a  sale  price of  $20,000,000.  The  Partnership  is
actively marketing the remaining properties in its portfolio. If current market
conditions remain favorable and the General Partner can obtain appropriate sale
prices, the Partnership's liquidation strategy will be accelerated.

In June 1996, the  Partnership sold the Desert  Sands Village Apartments in  an
all cash sale for $14,529,423. From  the proceeds of the sale, the  Partnership
paid $8,951,783 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of  the
first mortgage loan and paid $124,346  in selling costs. Pursuant to the  terms
of the sale, $500,000 of the proceeds will be retained by the Partnership until
October 1996. The  remainder of the  proceeds were distributed  to the  Limited
Partners in  July  1996.  See Note  4  of  Notes to  Financial  Statements  for
additional information.

Each of the Partnership's  properties is owned through  the use of  third-party
mortgage loan  financing and,  therefore,  the Partnership  is subject  to  the
financial obligations  required by  such loans.  The Partnership  has no  third
party financing  which  matures  prior  to  1998.  During  1997,  approximately
$734,000 of loan financing on  the Walnut Ridge -  Phase II Apartments from  an
affiliate of the General Partner matures. As mentioned above, this property  is
currently under contract to be sold. Upon  the sale of this property, the  loan
will be repaid with proceeds from the sale.

In July 1996,  the Partnership made  a distribution of  $5,775,385 ($77.00  per
Interest) to the  holders of Limited  Partnership Interests. This  distribution
includes a regular quarterly distribution of  $6.00 per Interest from Net  Cash
Receipts, a special distribution of $6.00  per Interest from Net Cash  Receipts
reserves and  a special  distribution  from Net  Cash  Proceeds of  $65.00  per
Interest in  connection  with  the  June 1996  sale  of  Desert  Sands  Village
Apartments. The level of the regular quarterly distribution remained  unchanged
from the amount distributed for the  first quarter of 1996. To date,  including
the July 1996 distribution, investors  have received distributions of Net  Cash
Receipts of  $93.50 and  Net Cash  Proceeds of  $244.00, totaling  $337.50  per
$1,000 Interest, as well as certain  tax benefits. The General Partner  expects
to continue quarterly distributions  to Limited Partners  based on the  current
performance of  the  Partnership's properties.  However,  the level  of  future
distributions will  depend  on  cash  flow  from  the  Partnership's  remaining
properties, and proceeds from future property  sales, as to all of which  there
can be  no  assurances.  In  light  of  results  to  date  and  current  market
conditions, the General Partner does not anticipate that investors will recover
all of their original investment.

Inflation has several types of  potentially conflicting impacts on real  estate
investments. Short-term  inflation can  increase  real estate  operating  costs
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents depending on  general
or local economic conditions.  In the long-term, inflation  can be expected  to
increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental
revenues and real estate values.

                        MASTER AMENDMENT AND AGREEMENT

     This Master Amendment and Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as
of this 22nd day of May, 1996 by and among the selling entities set forth on
the signature pages attached hereto (each entity being referred to herein as a
"Seller" and collectively as the "Sellers") and ERP Operating Limited
Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership ("Purchaser").

                                R E C I T A L S

     A.   Each Seller and the Purchaser have entered into an Agreement of Sale
dated as of April 23, 1996 (herein called the "Purchase Agreement") for the
sale by such Seller to Purchaser of certain property described therein.  All
capitalized terms which are used herein but which are not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the applicable Purchase
Agreement.

     B.   Each Purchase Agreement provides that during the Approval Period,
Purchaser shall have the right to review the status of title of the Property
(including, determining what endorsements, if any, the Title Insurer will make
available to Purchaser).

     C.   Each Purchase Agreement further provides that each Seller will
deliver to Purchaser an Updated Survey and Purchaser shall have ten (10) days
from the date of receipt of the Updated Survey to approve the Updated Survey. 

     D.   Purchaser has reviewed the status of title for each Property and has
reviewed certain of the Updated Surveys; provided, however, Purchaser and
Seller have not yet agreed upon "Permitted Exceptions" for each Property.

     E.   Purchaser and Seller desire to amend each Purchase Agreement to give
Purchaser and Seller until May 23, 1996 to agree upon Permitted Exceptions for

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars

agree to cure the title objections identified by Purchaser as being
problematic, which cure may be effectuated by causing the Title Insurer, at
such Seller's expense, to insure over any objection, if applicable.

                      MASTER AMENDMENT AND AGREEMENT #2 

     This Amendment and Agreement #2 (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
this 22nd day of May, 1996 by and among the selling entities set forth on the
signature pages attached hereto (each entity being referred to herein as a
"Seller" and collectively as the "Sellers") and ERP Operating Limited
Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership ("Purchaser").

                                R E C I T A L S

     A.   Each Seller and the Purchaser have entered into an Agreement of Sale
dated as of April 23, 1996 (herein called the "Purchase Agreement") for the
sale by such Seller to Purchaser of certain property described therein.  All
capitalized terms which are used herein but which are not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the applicable Purchase
Agreement.

     B.   Each Purchase Agreement provides that during the Approval Period,
Purchaser shall have the right to review the status of title of the Property
(including, determining what endorsements, if any, the Title Insurer will make
available to Purchaser).

     C.   Each Purchase Agreement further provides that each Seller will
deliver to Purchaser an Updated Survey and Purchaser shall have ten (10) days
from the date of receipt of the Updated Survey to approve the Updated Survey. 

     D.   Purchaser has reviewed the status of title for each Property and has
reviewed certain of the Updated Surveys.

     E.   The Purchase Agreements further provide that promptly following the
Approval Period, Purchaser and each Seller will identify the exceptions to
title which have been agreed to by Purchaser and such Seller.

     F.   The parties desire to enter into this Agreement to identify the
"Permitted Exceptions" for each Property and to set forth the parties agreement
with respect to title and survey matters as of the date hereof and to also set
forth certain additional agreements of the parties. 

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars
($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, each Seller (with respect to the Purchase
Agreement to which such Seller is a party) and the Purchaser, hereby agree as
follows: 
<PAGE>
                               A G R E E M E N T


     1.   Surveys.  

          A.   As of the date hereof, Purchaser has not yet received and/or
reviewed the Updated Surveys for the following properties:

               (1)  Briarwood Place
               (2)  Canyon Sands
               (3)  Desert Sands
               (4)  Sunnyoak Village
               (5)  Rosehill Pointe
               (6)  Post Place

     In accordance with each Purchase Agreement, Purchaser shall have ten (10)
days following Purchaser's receipt of each Updated Survey to approve or
disapprove of the applicable Updated Survey, all as more specifically set forth
in each Purchase Agreement.  If the Updated Survey is approved by Purchaser,
all items disclosed by the Updated Survey shall be "Permitted Exceptions".

          B.   In addition, Purchaser has reviewed and approved of the Updated
Surveys for the following properties.

               (1)  Brierwood Apts.
               (2)  Country Ridge
               (3)  Forest Ridge I
               (4)  Forest Ridge II
               (5)  Lakeville
               (6)  Mallard Cove
               (7)  Park Place I
               (8)  Park Place II
               (9)  Ridgetree I
               (10) Ridgetree II


     Each Seller (solely with respect to the Property owned by such Seller)
hereby agrees to reasonably assist Purchaser in causing the surveyor to correct
certain clean up items identified by Purchaser during its review of the Survey.

     2.   Title Matters.  Purchaser has reviewed the title commitments for all
of the properties.  Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a list of "Permitted
Exceptions" for each Property.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement or the exhibits hereto to the contrary, any Permitted Exceptions set
forth on Exhibit A which have the notation "awaiting survey" written next to
the applicable Permitted Exception (herein called "Survey Based Exceptions")
have not been agreed to by Purchaser because Purchaser has not yet reviewed the
Updated Survey which identifies the location of the applicable Permitted
Exception.  Purchaser shall have until 10 days following Purchaser's receipt of
the Updated Survey to advise the applicable Seller, in writing, whether any
Survey Based Exception is or is not reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.  If
Purchaser advises the applicable Seller that any Survey Based Exception is not
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, then the applicable Seller shall have five
(5) business days following receipt of such notice, to elect to either
terminate the applicable Purchase Agreement, in which case the applicable
Earnest Money, including interest thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser
immediately following the applicable Seller's receipt of the Reports or (ii)
<PAGE>
agree to cure the title objections identified by Purchaser, which cure may be
effectuated by causing the Title Insurer, at such Seller's expense, to insure
over any objection, if applicable.

     3.   Assignment of Partnership Interests.  If requested to do so by
Purchaser, each Seller hereby agrees, at no cost or expense to such Seller, to
cooperate in good faith with Purchaser in structuring the conveyance of
Property by the applicable Seller to Purchaser as a conveyance of title to such
Property by the applicable Seller into a partnership or limited liability
company having the applicable Seller and/or affiliates of the applicable Seller
as its sole partners (or members) and then, at closing, assigning to Purchaser
the partnership (or membership) interests in the partnership (or limited
liability company).  In such case, the Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold the applicable Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
expense, liability or damage (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by
such Seller arising out of Seller's conveyance in and out of such partnership
(or limited liability company) provided that such loss, cost, expense,
liability or damage (including reasonable attorneys fees) would not have been
suffered or incurred by such Seller if such Property had been conveyed directly
by such Seller to Purchaser.

     4.   Miscellaneous

          A.   Except as modified herein, each Purchase Agreement shall remain
unmodified and in full force and effect. 

          B.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one
and the same instrument. 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the
date and year first above written.
