ITEM 1.BUSINESS

Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-IV ("KRLP-
IV") was formed on December 1, 1982 by filing
a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The Krupp
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, and
The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II, a
Massachusetts limited partnership, are the
General Partners of KRLP-IV.  KRLP-IV has also
issued all of the Original Limited Partner
Interests to The Krupp Company Limited
Partnership-II.  On January 18, 1983, KRLP-IV
commenced the offering of up to 30,000 units
of Investor Limited Partner Interests (the
"Units").  As of March 31, 1983, KRLP-IV
received subscriptions for all 30,000 Units at
$1,000 per Unit and therefore, the public
offering was successfully completed on that
date.  For details, see Note A to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 8
(Appendix A) of this report.  
The primary business of KRLP-IV is to acquire,
operate and ultimately dispose of real estate. 
KRLP-IV initially acquired six multi-family
apartment complexes (Copper Creek, Walden Pond
(formerly Westbridge), Indian Run, Fenland
Field, Pavillion and Tilbury Woods
Apartments), a retail center (Lakeview Plaza)
and invested in a joint venture in Lakeview
Tower (the "Joint Venture") with an affiliated
limited partnership.  KRLP-IV considers itself
to be engaged in only one industry segment,
investment in real estate.

KRLP-IV sold Lakeview Plaza and Tilbury Woods
Apartments in 1990 and 1991, respectively. 
Additionally, KRLP-IV received a terminating
capital distribution from the Joint Venture
with proceeds from the sale of Lakeview Tower
in 1992.  In 1990, the General Partners formed
three limited partnerships:  Pavillion
Partners, Ltd., Copper Creek Partners, Ltd.
and Westbridge Partners, Ltd.  At the same
time, the General Partners transferred
ownership of Pavillion Apartments to Pavillion
Partners, Ltd., Copper Creek Apartments to
Copper Creek Partners, Ltd., and Walden Pond
Apartments to Westbridge Partners, Ltd. in
exchange for a 99% Limited Partner Interest in
the new entities.  Westcop Corporation, an
affiliate of KRLP-IV, contributed a total of
$11,216 in exchange for a 1% General Partner
Interest in the new entities.  KRLP-IV,
Pavillion Partners, Ltd., Copper Creek
Partners, Ltd. and Westbridge Partners, Ltd.,
are collectively known as Krupp Realty Limited
Partnership-IV and Subsidiaries (collectively
referred to herein as the "Partnership").  The
Partnership endeavored to renegotiate the debt
on these properties, the negotiations were
unsuccessful and these partnerships
subsequently petitioned for relief under
federal bankruptcy laws.

On March 31, 1998, the Partnership sold Indian
Run Apartments, a 256-unit multi-family
apartment complex, located in Abilene, Texas,
to an unaffiliated third party (see Note D to
Consolidated Financial Statements, included in
Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report).

The Partnership's real estate investments are
subject to some seasonal fluctuations
resulting from 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 real
estate investments are located, the
availability and cost of borrowed funds, 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 therefrom 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 locations 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, increases in
unemployment, or adverse changes in real
estate zoning laws, (v) 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 (vi) other
circumstances over which the Partnership may
have little or no control.

As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership did
not employ any personnel.

ITEM 2.PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership had
an aggregate of 1,000 apartment units.

A summary of the Partnership's multi-family
real estate investments is presented below. 
Schedule III included in Item 8 (Appendix A)
to this report contains additional detailed
information with respect to individual properties.

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

The transfer of Units of Limited Partner
Interest 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, 1998 was approximately 1,800.

The Partnership made the following
distributions to its Partners during the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997:

</TABLE>
Due to improvements in the operations of the
properties and the availability of cash flow,
the General Partners reinstated distributions
in August, 1994, at a rate of $4.67 per Unit. 
In 1995 and 1996, the annual distribution
rates were  increased to $28.00 and $37.33 per
Unit, respectively.  These semiannual
distributions continued in 1997 and the first
half of 1998 at an annualized rate of $37.33
per Unit.  As a result of the sale of Indian
Run Apartments, the General Partners reduced
the distribution rate to $9.33 per Unit for
the distribution paid in August, 1998. 
However, the General Partners increased the
distribution rate to $24.69 per Unit beginning
with the distribution payable in February,
1999 due to improved operations during the
year. 

The Partnership made special capital
distributions of $67.12 and $43.33 per Unit
during the second quarter of 1998 and the
second quarter of 1996, respectively, with the
funds received from the sale of Indian Run
Apartments in 1998 and the sale of Lakeview
Tower Apartments in 1992, respectively. 
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,
distributions from capital transactions, such
as the sale of a property, are allocated 99%
to Investor Limited Partners and 1% to the
General Partners.  For details, see Note G to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report.

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

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 remaining
real estate investments.  Such ability would
also be impacted by the future availability of
bank borrowings, and upon the future
refinancing and sale of the Partnership's real
estate investments.  These sources of
liquidity will be used by the Partnership for
payment of expenses related to real estate
operations, capital improvements, debt service
and other 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.

The Partnership funded approximately
$1,086,000 of capital improvements at the
properties in 1998 for appliances, carpeting
and other interior and exterior building
improvements.  The Partnership expects to
spend approximately $661,000 for capital
improvements in 1999 consisting of internal
enhancements which include the replacement of
appliances, carpeting and vinyl flooring at
the properties as well as exterior
improvements, including roofing, at Pavillion
Apartments.  The Partnership expects to fund
these improvements from established reserves
and the sale of Indian Run Apartments, as
discussed below.

On March 31, 1998, the Partnership sold Indian
Run Apartments to an unaffiliated third party. 
The Partnership received $5,850,000, less
repayment of the mortgage note payable and
interest of $2,658,664 and closing costs of
$137,633.  For further details, see Note D to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included
in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report.

Due to improvements in the operations of the
properties and reduced debt service, the
Partnership had sufficient cash flow in 1995
to increase the annual distribution rate to
$28.00 per Unit and to $37.33 per Unit in
1996.  As a result of the sale of Indian Run
Apartments, the General Partners reduced the
distribution rate to $9.33 per Unit for the
distribution paid in August, 1998.  However,
the General Partners increased the
distribution rate to $24.69 per Unit beginning
with the distribution payable in February,
1999 due to improved operations during the
year.

The Partnership made special distributions of
$2,034,000, $67.12 per Unit, and $1,313,031,
$43.33 per Unit, during the second quarter of
1998 and the second quarter of 1996,
respectively, based on the remaining proceeds
from the sale of Indian Run Apartments in 1998
and Lakeview Tower Apartments in 1992,
respectively.  Distributions of net cash
proceeds from capital transactions are
allocated in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement (as described in Note G to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report).

The General Partners, on an ongoing basis,
assess the current and future liquidity needs
in determining the levels of working capital
reserves the Partnership should maintain. 
Adjustments to distributions are made when
appropriate to reflect such assessments.

On July 31, 1997, the General Partners
obtained an additional $900,000 note for
Walden Pond Apartments.  The note bears
interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum and
matures on February 28, 1999, simultaneous
with the first mortgage note.  The proceeds
from the note were placed in escrow and were
used to fund capital improvements at the
property.  The Partnership paid closing costs
of $33,082 to secure the note.  (For further
details, see Note E to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of
this report.)

Subsequent to year-end, on February 28, 1999,
the General Partners refinanced the Walden
Pond mortgage notes.  For further details, see
Note J to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this
report.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 131 ("FAS 131") "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" establishes standards for
disclosing measures for profit or loss and
total assets for each reportable segment.  FAS
131 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997.   Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133
("FAS 133") "Accounting for Derivatives" is
effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999.  FAS 133 establishes standards
related to the accounting and disclosure
requirements of derivative financial
instruments.  Emerging Issues Task Force
ruling 97-11 ("EITF 97-11") entitled
"Accounting For Real Estate Property
Acquisitions", is effective March 19, 1998. 
EITF 97-11 provides that real estate companies
must expense, as incurred, the internal costs
of identifying and acquiring operating
property.  The General Partners believe that
the implementation of FAS 131 and EITF 97-11
do not have a material impact on the
Partnership's financial statements, nor will
the implementation of FAS 133.

The General Partners of the Partnership have
conducted an assessment of the Partnership's
core internal and external computer
information systems and have taken the further
necessary steps to understand the nature and
extent of the work required to make its
systems Year 2000 ready in those situations in
which it is required to do so.  The Year 2000
readiness issue concerns the inability of
computerized information systems to accurately
calculate, store or use a date after 1999. 
This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations.  The Year 2000 issue affects
virtually all companies and all organizations.

In this regard, the General Partners of the
Partnership, along with certain affiliates,
began a computer systems project in 1997 to
significantly upgrade its existing hardware
and software.  The General Partners completed
the testing and conversion of the financial
accounting operating systems in February 1998. 
As a result, the General Partners have
generated operating efficiencies and believe
their financial accounting operating systems
are Year 2000 ready.  Costs incurred by the
Partnership are not significant to date. 
There are no other systems or software that
the Partnership is using at the present time.

The General Partners of the Partnership are
currently in the process of identifying,
evaluating and remedying the Partnership's
Year 2000 compliance issues with respect to
its non-financial systems, such as computer
controlled elevators, boilers, chillers or
other miscellaneous systems.  The General
Partners are in the process of completing the
Partnership's Year 2000 compliance initiatives
at its properties.  Based on their
identification and assessment efforts to date,
the General Partners believe that certain of
the computer equipment and software the
Partnership currently uses will require
modification or replacement.  However, the
General Partners do not believe that the
future efforts to achieve the Partnership's
Year 2000 compliance initiatives will result
in material cost to the Partnership or
significantly interrupt services or
operations.

The General Partners are in the process of
evaluating the potential adverse impact that
could result from the failure of material
third-party service providers (including but
not limited to its banks and
telecommunications providers) and significant
vendors to be Year 2000 ready.  No estimate
can be made at this time as to the impact of
the readiness of such third parties.  However,
if any of the third party service providers
cease to conduct business due to Year 2000
related problems, the General Partners expect
to be able to contract with alternate
providers without experiencing any material
adverse effects on the Partnership's financial
condition and results of operations.  The
Partnership is in the process of coordinating
their contingency plan with the property
manager, in charge of operations.

Operations                             
     

The following discussion relates to the
operations of the Partnership and its
properties (Fenland Field, Pavillion and
Walden Pond Apartments) for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.  The sale of
Indian Run Apartments in March, 1998,
significantly impacts the comparability of the
Partnership's operations among the three
years.

1998 compared to 1997

Net income, net of Indian Run's activity,
increased during 1998 when compared to 1997
with an increase in total revenue and a
decrease in total expenses.  The increase in
total revenue is a result of rental rate
increases implemented at all the Partnership's
properties in 1998.  Interest income also
increased due to higher cash and cash
equivalent balances available for investment.

Total expenses in 1998, net of Indian Run's
activity, decreased as compared to 1997, with
decreases in operating and depreciation and
amortization expenses, partially offset by a
rise in real estate taxes and interest
expense.  Operating expense decreased as a
result of a reduction in liability and workers
compensation expense at the Partnership's
properties, due to lower claims experience. 
Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased as fixed asset additions purchased
in previous years became fully depreciated. 
Real estate taxes increased due to an increase
in the assessed values of the Partnership's
properties.  Interest expense increased as a
result of the Walden Pond additional note.

E to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this
report.

1997 compared to 1996

Net income increased in 1997 as compared to
1996, as the increase in revenue more than
offset the increase in expenses.  Rental
revenue increased as a result of rental rate
increases implemented at all the Partnership's
properties, as well as improved average
occupancy rates at two properties in 1997 as
compared to 1996.  This increase was slightly
offset by a decrease in other income due to
lower average cash balances available for
investment.    

Total expenses, including general and
administrative, management fees and
depreciation, increased in 1997 as compared to
1996.  General and administrative expense
increased as a result of legal, mailing and
printing costs related to the Partnership's
response to the unsolicited tender offers to
purchase Partnership Units.  In addition,
expenses related to the preparation and
mailing of Partnership reports and other
investor communications increased.  Management
fees increased in conjunction with higher
revenues, as discussed above. Depreciation
expense increased as a result of continued
capital improvements at all the Partnership's
properties.  These increases were partially
offset by a decrease in maintenance expense as
a result of extensive parking lot repairs and
building exterior expenditures completed in
1996 at Indian Run and Pavillion Apartments.

To the Partners of
Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-IV and Subsidiaries:


In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements and the financial statement
schedule listed in the index on page F-2
present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Krupp Realty Limited
Partnership-IV and  Subsidiaries (the
"Partnership") at December 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. 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
of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, which
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,
assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  
A.Organization

Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-IV ("KRLP-
IV") was formed on December 1, 1982 by filing
a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  KRLP-IV
terminates on December 31, 2020, unless
earlier terminated upon the sale of the last
of KRLP-IV and Subsidiaries' properties or 
the occurrence of certain other events as set
forth in the Partnership Agreement.

KRLP-IV issued all of the General Partner
Interests to The Krupp Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation, and The Krupp
Company Limited Partnership-II, a
Massachusetts limited partnership, in exchange
for capital contributions aggregating $1,000. 
Except under certain limited circumstances
upon termination of KRLP-IV, the General
Partners are not required to make any
additional capital contributions.  KRLP-IV
also issued all of the Original Limited
Partner Interests to The Krupp Company Limited
Partnership-II in exchange for a capital
contribution of $4,000.  The Original Limited
Partner is not required to make any additional
capital contributions to KRLP-IV.  On January
18, 1983, KRLP-IV commenced the offering of up
to 30,000 Units of Investor Limited Partner
Interests (the "Units").  As of March 31,
1983, KRLP-IV received subscriptions for all
30,000 Units at $1,000 per Unit and therefore,
the public offering was successfully completed
on that date.

In 1990, the General Partners on behalf of
KRLP-IV formed three limited partnerships: 
Pavillion Partners, Ltd., Copper Creek
Partners, Ltd. and Westbridge Partners, Ltd. 
At the same time, the General Partners
transferred ownership of Pavillion Apartments
to Pavillion Partners, Ltd., Copper Creek
Apartments to Copper Creek Partners, Ltd., and
Walden Pond Apartments to Westbridge Partners,
Ltd. in exchange for KRLP-IV's 99% Limited
Partner Interest in the new entities.  Westcop
Corporation, an affiliate of the General
Partners, contributed a total of $11,216 in
cash to the entities and is the General
Partner in each, with a 1% interest.  On March
3, 1992, Copper Creek was foreclosed upon by
the holder of the first and second mortgage
notes pursuant to an agreement approved by the
Bankruptcy Court.

KRLP-IV, Pavillion Partners, Ltd., and
Westbridge Partners, Ltd. are collectively
known as Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-IV
and Subsidiaries (collectively the
"Partnership").

As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership owned
three multi-family apartment complexes.

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 I).

Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements present
the consolidated assets, liabilities and
operations of Pavillion Partners, Ltd.,
Westbridge Partners, Ltd. and KRLP-IV (see
Note A).  All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.  At
December 31, 1998 and 1997, minority interest
of $15,709 and $21,736, respectively, was
included in other assets. 

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,
Continued
                     

B.Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Risks and Uncertainties, Continued
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,
contingent assets and liabilities and revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Cash and 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 base rent
monthly in advance.  Rental revenues are
recorded on the accrual basis.  
                
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Real estate assets and equipment are stated at
depreciated cost.  Pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 121
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of', impairment losses are recorded
on long-lived assets used in operations on a
property by property basis, when events and
circumstances indicate that the assets might
be impaired and the estimated undiscounted
cash flows to be generated by those assets are
less than the carrying amount of those assets. 
Upon determination that an impairment has
occurred, those assets shall be reduced to
fair value.
                            
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided for by the use of the
straight-line method over estimated useful
lives of the related assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements  3 to 25
years
                                
Appliances, carpeting and equipment3 to 8
years

Deferred Expenses
Costs of obtaining and recording mortgages on
the properties are amortized over the term of
the related mortgage notes using the straight-
line method which approximates the effective
interest method.

Income Taxes
The Partnership is not liable for federal or
state income taxes as Partnership's income or
loss is allocated to the Partners for income
tax purposes.  In the event that 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.

B.Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Descriptive Information About Reportable
Segments
During the fourth quarter of 1998, the
Partnership adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures
About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information ("Statement No. 131").  Statement
No. 131 superseded FASB Statement No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a
Business Enterprise".  Statement No. 131
establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information
regarding reportable operating segments.  The
adoption of Statement No. 131 did not affect
the results of operations or financial
position of the Partnership.

The Partnership operates and develops
apartment communities which generate rental
and other income through the leasing of
apartment units.  The General Partners
separately evaluate the performance of each of
the Partnership's apartment communities. 
However, because each of the apartment
communities have similar economic
characteristics, facilities, services and
tenants, the apartment communities have been
aggregated into a single dominant apartment
communities segment.

All revenues are from external customers and
no revenues are generated from transactions
with other segments.  There are no tenants
which contributed 10% or more of the
Partnership's total revenue during 1998, 1997
or 1996.

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

C.Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the

D.Sale of Indian Run Apartments

On March 31, 1998, the Partnership sold Indian
Run Apartments ("Indian Run"), a 256-unit
multi-family apartment complex, located in
Abilene, Texas, to an unaffiliated third
party.  The Partnership received $5,850,000,
less repayment of the mortgage note payable
and interest of $2,658,664 and closing costs
of $138,518.  For financial reporting
purposes, the Partnership realized a gain of
$2,960,743 on the sale.  The gain was
calculated as the difference between the
property's selling price less net book value
of the property and closing costs.
                     
In conjunction with the sale of the property
on March 31, 1998, the Partnership prepaid the
mortgage note.  As a result of the retirement
of debt, the Partnership incurred a prepayment
premium of $335,863.  The prepayment premium,
as well as unamortized deferred mortgage costs
of $53,660, are reported in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations as an extraordinary
loss from early extinguishment of debt.

The property is subject to a non-recourse
mortgage note payable, based on a 20-year
amortization, in equal monthly installments of
principal and interest of $42,167.  At
maturity, all unpaid principal ($3,824,206)
and any accrued and unpaid interest are due. 
The note may be prepaid subject to certain
prepayment premiums.  The mortgage note is
collateralized by the property.

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
$4,157,000 at December 31, 1998.  At December
31, 1997, the fair market value could not be
determined since the mortgage note could not
be prepaid until 1998.
                                    
  Indian Run Apartments

  In conjunction with the sale of the property on March 31, 1998,
  the Partnership prepaid the mortgage note.  As a result of the
  retirement of debt, the Partnership incurred a prepayment premium
  of $335,863.  The prepayment premium, as well as unamortized
  deferred mortgage costs of $53,660, are reported in the
  Consolidated Statement of Operations as an extraordinary loss
  from early extinguishment of debt (see Note D).

  Walden Pond Apartments

On February 28, 1992, the prior wrap-
around mortgage note was modified in
bankruptcy court.  The modified first
mortgage note with a principal balance of
$5,500,000, which has a stated rate of
9.5%, is being amortized over a 30-year
period and requires monthly payments of
$46,247.  For financial reporting
purposes, generally accepted accounting
principles required the Partnership to
reduce the outstanding principal balance
of the mortgage to the sum of the future
cash flow payments required under the
terms of the mortgage, including a final
payment on February 28, 1999 of
approximately $5,200,000.  All cash
payments made subsequent to the
restructure are recorded as a reduction of
the principal balance with no interest
expense recognized by the Partnership. 
The note may be prepaid at any time,
subject to certain prepayment premiums.

On July 31, 1997, the General Partners
obtained a $900,000 non-recourse note (the
"Note") for Walden Pond Apartments from
the same lender that holds the first
mortgage note.  The Note bears interest at
a rate of 9.5% per annum and, commencing
September 1, 1997, requires monthly,
interest-only payments until the maturity
date.  The Note matures on February 28,
1999, simultaneous with the first mortgage
note, at which time all outstanding
principal and any accrued interest are
due.  The Note may be prepaid in its
entirety without penalty, upon 90 days
written notice, and simultaneous payment
of the first mortgage note. Proceeds from
the Note were deposited into an escrow
account and will be used to fund capital
improvements at the property.  The
Partnership paid closing costs of $33,082
to obtain the Note.

On February 28, 1999 the General Partners
refinanced the mortgage notes payable of
$5,500,000 and $900,000 (see Note J).

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
$5,234,000 and $6,300,000 at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively. 

Pavillion Apartments

The property is subject to a non-recourse
mortgage note payable, based on a 30-year
amortization, in equal monthly installments of
principal and interest of $57,587.  At
maturity, all unpaid principal ($6,580,326)
and any accrued and unpaid interest are due. 
The note may be prepaid at any time, subject
to certain prepayment premiums.  

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
$7,109,000 and $7,200,000 at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

Due to restrictions on transfers and
prepayment, the Partnership may be unable to
refinance certain mortgage notes payable at
such calculated fair value.

G.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
thereon.  Thereafter, profits and losses will
be allocated 65% to the Investor Limited
Partners, 28% to the Original Limited Partner
and 7% to the General Partners.
  
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement,
distributions are generally made on the same
basis as the allocations of profits and losses
described above.  Upon the occurrence of a
capital transaction, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement, proceeds will be
applied to the payment of all debts and
liabilities of the Partnership then due and
then fund any reserves for contingent
liabilities.  Remaining net cash proceeds will
then be distributed 99% to the Investor
Limited Partners until they have received a
return of their total invested capital and 1%
to the General Partners, thereafter net cash
proceeds will be distributed in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement.
