ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Century Properties Growth Fund XXII (the "Partnership") was organized in January
1984, as a California limited partnership under the Uniform Limited  Partnership
Act of the California Corporations Code.  Fox Partners IV, a California  general
partnership, is the general partner of the Partnership.  The general partners of
Fox Partners IV are Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC" or the  "Managing
General Partner"), a  California corporation,  Fox Realty  Investors ("FRI"),  a
California general  partnership,  and  Fox Partners  84,  a  California  general
partnership.

The Partnership's Registration Statement, filed  pursuant to the Securities  Act
of 1933 (No.  2-89285), was declared  effective by the  Securities and  Exchange
Commission on  September 25,  1984.   The  Partnership marketed  its  securities
pursuant to its Prospectus dated September 25, 1984, and thereafter supplemented
(hereinafter the "Prospectus").  This Prospectus was  filed with the  Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) of the Securities Act of  1933.
The principal business of the Partnership is  and has been to acquire, hold  for
investment  and  ultimately   sell  income-producing  multi-family   residential
properties.

Beginning  in  September  1984  through  June  1986,  the  Partnership   offered
$120,000,000 in Limited Partnership units and sold units having an initial  cost
of $82,848,000.  The net proceeds of  this offering were used to acquire  eleven
income-producing real properties. The Partnership's original property  portfolio
was geographically diversified with  properties acquired in  eight states.   The
Partnership's acquisition activities were completed in September 1986 and  since
then the principal activity of the Partnership has been managing its  portfolio.
One property  was acquired  by the  lender  through foreclosure  in 1992.    One
property was sold in 1995.

On August 10, 1994, an affiliate of Apollo Real Estate Advisors, L.P. ("Apollo")
obtained general and  limited partnership interests  in NPI-AP Management,  L.P.
("NPI-AP").

On October 12, 1994, Apollo acquired one-third of the stock of National Property
Investors, Inc. ("NPI"),  the parent corporation  of NPI Equity  II, Inc.  ("NPI
Equity"), the general partner of FRI, and the entity which controls the Managing
General Partner. Pursuant  to the  terms of  the stock  acquisition, Apollo  was
entitled to  designate three  of the  seven directors  of the  Managing  General
Partner and NPI Equity.  In addition,  the approval of certain major actions  on
behalf of  the  Partnership required  the  affirmative  vote of  at  lease  five
directors of the Managing General Partner.

Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during the first half of 1996,
affiliates of Insignia Financial Group,  Inc. ("Insignia") acquired (i)  control
of NPI Equity  and (ii) all  of the issued  and outstanding shares  of stock  of
FCMC.  In connection with these  transactions, affiliates of Insignia  appointed
new officers and  directors of NPI  Equity and FCMC.   See  "Item 9,  Directors,
Executive Officers, Promotors and Control Persons, Compliance with Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act."

On October 12, 1994, affiliates of Apollo acquired (i) one-third of the stock of
the respective general partners of DeForest  Ventures I L.P. ("DeForest I")  and
DeForest Ventures II L.P. and (ii)  an additional equity interest in NPI-AP,  an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner (bringing its total equity interest in
such entity to one-third).  NPI-AP is a limited partner of DeForest I which  was
formed for the purpose of making tender offers for limited partnership units  in
the Partnership as well as eleven affiliated limited partnerships.
On January 19, 1996, DeForest I  and certain of its  affiliates sold all of  its
interest in  the  Partnership  to  Insignia  NPI  L.L.C.  ("Insignia  LLC"),  an
affiliate of IFGP Corporation. Pursuant to a Schedule 13-D filed by Insignia LLC
with the  Securities  and  Exchange Commission,  Insignia  LLC  acquired  17,023
limited partnership units or approximately 28% of the total limited  partnership
units of  the  Partnership.    (See "Item  11,  Security  Ownership  of  Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management.")

There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local
legislation  and  regulations  enacted  relating   to  the  protection  of   the
environment. The Partnership is unable to  predict the extent, if any, to  which
such new legislation  or regulations might  occur and the  degree to which  such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.

The Partnership monitors its properties for  evidence of pollutants, toxins  and
other dangerous  substances, including  the presence  of asbestos.   In  certain
cases environmental testing has  been performed, which  resulted in no  material
adverse conditions or  liabilities.   In no  case has  the Partnership  received
notice  that  it  is  a  potentially  responsible  party  with  respect  to   an
environmental clean up site.

The Managing  General  Partner  of  the  Partnership  intends  to  maximize  the
operating results  and, ultimately,  the net  realizable value  of each  of  the
Partnership's properties in order  to achieve the best  possible return for  the
investors.    Such  results  may  best  be  achieved  through  property   sales,
refinancings,  debt  restructurings  or  relinquishment  of  the  assets.    The
Partnership intends to evaluate each of  its holdings periodically to  determine
the most appropriate strategy for each of the assets.

The Partnership has  no full time  employees.  The  Managing General Partner  is
vested with full authority as to  the general management and supervision of  the
business and affairs of the Partnership.  The non-managing General Partners  and
the Limited Partners have no right  to participate in the management or  conduct
of such business and affairs. NPI-AP provides day-to-day management services for
the Partnership's investment properties.

The business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive, and  the
Partnership is not a significant factor in its industry.  Each of its  apartment
properties is located in or near  a major urban area and, accordingly,  competes
for rentals not only with similar apartment properties in its immediate area but
with hundreds of similar apartment properties  throughout the urban area.   Such
competition  is  primarily  on  the  basis  of  location,  rents,  services  and
amenities.  In addition,  the Partnership competes  with significant numbers  of
individuals and  organizations  (including  similar  partnerships,  real  estate
investment trusts  and  financial institutions)  with  respect to  the  sale  of
improved real properties, primarily on the basis of the prices and terms of such
transactions.

As noted under "Item  1, Description of Business",  the real estate industry  is
highly competitive.   All of the  properties of the  Partnership are subject  to
competition from other apartment  complexes in the area.   The Managing  General
Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured.  All of  the
lease terms are for one year or less.  No individual tenant occupies 10% or more
of the available rentable space.

Real estate taxes (in thousands) and rates in 1996 for each property were:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation that is  not
of a routine nature.  The  Managing General Partner of the Partnership  believes
that all  such pending  or outstanding  litigation will  be resolved  without  a
material adverse effect upon the business, financial condition, or operations of
the Partnership.

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

The unit holders of the Partnership did not vote on any matter during the fiscal
year covered by this report.

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

The Limited Partnership unit  holders are entitled  to certain distributions  as
provided in the Partnership  Agreement.  No market  for the limited  partnership
units exists, nor is any expected to develop.

The Partnership distributed $2,549,000 ($30.76 per limited partnership unit)  to
the limited  partners and  $52,000 to  the  general partners  in 1996  from  the
proceeds received from the sale of the Partnership's Monterrey Village property.

As of December 31, 1996, the approximate number of holders of the 82,848 limited
partnership units outstanding was 5,828.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

This item  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial
statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  net  loss  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996,   was
approximately $1,539,000 versus  a net loss  of approximately  $425,000 for  the
year ended December 31, 1995.  The increase in loss is primarily attributable to
the gain  on disposition  of the  Partnership's Monterey  Village Apartments  in
August 1995, of approximately $2,033,000. Also  contributing to the increase  is
an increase in  general and  administrative expense  and a  reduction in  rental
income.  The  decrease in  rental income  due to  the sale  of Monterey  Village
Apartments was partially offset  by increases in rental  rates at the  remaining
properties. The  increase  in  general and  administrative  expense  is  due  to
increased professional fees in 1996 as  compared to 1995.  Offsetting the  above
changes are decreases in interest, operating and depreciation expenses in  1996.
The decrease in  interest is  due to the  refinancing of  eight properties,  the
assumption of the mortgage that encumbered Monterey Village by the purchaser  at
the 1995 sale date and the reduced principal balance at Promontory Point due  to
the $1,500,000 paydown as discussed below.  Operating expense decreased for  the
year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995 due to  the
sale  of  Monterey  Village  Apartments  and  due  to  reduced  expenditures  at
Plantation Creek  Apartments, Cooper's  Pointe  Apartments, and  Hampton  Greens
Apartments.  The  decreases in operating  expenditures at  Plantation Creek  and
Cooper's Pointe  were  due to  exterior  and  interior painting  costs  at  both
properties in 1995.   There was also  a reduction of  floor covering repairs  at
Plantation Creek  in 1996  as compared  to  1995.   The decreases  in  operating
expenses at Hampton Greens in 1996 as compared to 1995 is due to the receipt  in
1996 of insurance proceeds related to wind damage sustained at the property  and
a reduction in floor  covering repairs.  These  decreases in operating  expenses
were partially offset  by increases in  operating expenses  at Promontory  Point
Apartments. The increase  at Promontory Point  Apartments was  due to  increased
advertising in  an effort  to increase  occupancy and  professional fees.    The
decrease in  depreciation  expense  is  due to  the  sale  of  Monterey  Village
Apartments in August 1995.

On August  18, 1995,  the Partnership  sold Monterey  Village Apartments  to  an
unaffiliated third  party for  $10,609,000.   After assumption  of the  mortgage
balance of $7,359,000 and closing costs,  the Partnership received net  proceeds
of $2,926,000. For financial reporting purposes  the sale resulted in a gain  on
disposition of $2,033,000. The Partnership also recognized an extraordinary loss
on extinguishment  of  debt  of  $217,000  in  1995  due  to  the  write-off  of
unamortized loan costs.   Additionally, the  Partnership recorded  extraordinary
losses on debt  extinguishment related  to the  refinancings of  certain of  its
investment properties as discussed below.

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 rents, maintaining or increasing  occupancy
levels and protecting the  Partnership from increases in  expenses.  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 rentals  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.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At December 31,  1996, the Partnership  had unrestricted cash  of $1,111,000  as
compared to $4,717,000  at December 31,  1995.  Net  cash provided by  operating
activities increased  primarily  as  a result  of  the  reduction  in  operating
expenditures as discussed above and   due to timing payments on trade  payables.
The increase in cash used in investing activities is due to the net proceeds  on
disposition of Monterey Village in 1995 and an increase in property improvements
and replacements in 1996.  The increase in cash used in financing activities  is
due to the Partnership obtaining new financing on four of its properties in 1996
as discussed  below.   In  addition,  the  Partnership paid  a  distribution  of
approximately $2,601,000 to its partners in the first quarter of 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.  The Partnership has no outstanding amounts due under this line  of
credit.   Based  on  present  plans,  the  Managing  General  Partner  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.

On January 17, 1996, the Partnership  refinanced the mortgages encumbering  Wood
Creek, Four  Winds, and  Plantation Creek.   The  new mortgages  carry a  stated
interest rate of 7.93% and are amortized over 30 years with balloon payments due
on February  1, 2006.  On  November 15,  1996,  the Partnership  refinanced  the
mortgage encumbering Autumn  Run.  The  new mortgage carries  a stated  interest
rate of 7.33%.  The new mortgage matures November 1, 2003.  Loan costs are being
amortized over the lives of the loans.

The refinancing of Wood  Creek replaced indebtedness of  $12,500,000 with a  new
mortgage in  the amount  of  $12,900,000.   Total  capitalized loan  costs  were
$318,000. The early extinguishment of debt resulted in an extraordinary loss  of
$350,000, arising from  prepayment penalties  and the  write-off of  unamortized
loan costs.  Wood Creek was also required  to pay a release price of  $1,500,000
which was used to paydown the mortgage on Promontory Point.  In connection  with
the refinancing, the  Partnership was required  to transfer all  the assets  and
liabilities of Wood Creek  Apartments to a newly  formed subsidiary, Wood  Creek
CPGF 22, L.P.

The refinancing of Four  Winds replaced indebtedness of  $10,410,000 with a  new
mortgage in  the  amount of  $9,675,000.    Total capitalized  loan  costs  were
$296,000. In connection with  the refinancing, the  Partnership was required  to
transfer all the  assets and  liabilities of Four  Winds Apartments  to a  newly
formed subsidiary, Four Winds CPGF 22, L.P.

The refinancing of Plantation Creek replaced indebtedness of $13,045,000 with  a
new mortgage in the  amount of $15,900,000.   Total capitalized loan costs  were
$413,000. The early extinguishment of debt resulted in an extraordinary loss  of
$131,000, arising from  prepayment penalties  and the  write-off of  unamortized
loan costs. In connection with the refinancing, the Partnership was required  to
transfer all the  assets and  liabilities of  Plantation Creek  Apartments to  a
newly formed subsidiary, Plantation Creek CPGF 22, L.P.

The refinancing of Autumn  Run replaced indebtedness of  $10,563,000 with a  new
mortgage in  the  amount of  $9,100,000.    Total capitalized  loan  costs  were
$180,000.

On December  29,  1995, the  Partnership  refinanced the  mortgages  encumbering
Hampton Greens, Stoney Creek, Cooper's Pointe and Copper Mill. The new mortgages
carry a stated  interest rate  of 7.88%  and are  amortized over  30 years  with
balloon payments due on January 1, 2006.

The Partnership refinanced  the mortgage encumbering  Hampton Greens  Apartments
with a new  first mortgage in  the amount of  $5,800,000.  The  loan may not  be
prepaid without penalty.  Loan  costs are being amortized  over the life of  the
loan.   In connection  with the  refinancing, the  Partnership was  required  to
transfer all the assets and liabilities of Hampton Greens Apartments to a  newly
formed subsidiary, Hampton Greens CPGF 22, L.P.

The Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Stoney Creek Apartments with
a new first mortgage in the amount of $7,050,000.   The loan may not be  prepaid
without penalty.    In connection  with  the refinancing,  the  Partnership  was
required to transfer all the assets  and liabilities of Stoney Creek  Apartments
to a newly formed subsidiary, Stoney Creek CPGF 22, L.P.

The Partnership refinanced the  mortgage encumbering Cooper's Pointe  Apartments
with a new  first mortgage in  the amount of  $4,250,000.  The  loan may not  be
prepaid without penalty.   In connection with  the refinancing, the  Partnership
was required  to transfer  all the  assets and  liabilities of  Cooper's  Pointe
Apartments to a newly formed subsidiary, Cooper's Pointe CPGF 22, L.P.
The Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Copper Mill Apartments  with
a new first mortgage in the amount of $6,100,000.   The loan may not be  prepaid
without penalty.  Loan costs are being amortized over the life of the loan.   In
connection with the refinancing,  the Partnership was  required to transfer  all
the assets and liabilities of Copper Mill Apartments to a newly formed,  wholly-
owned subsidiary, Copper Mill CPGF 22, L.P.

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  $73,164,000  is amortized  over  varying periods  with  balloon
payments  ranging  from  December   1999,  to  February   2006.    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 paid in  1995.   During the  first three  months of  1996, the  Partnership
distributed $2,549,000  ($30.76 per  limited partnership  unit) to  the  limited
partners and $52,000 to the general partners from the proceeds received from the
sale of the Partnership's Monterey Village property.

To the Partners
Century Properties Growth Fund XXII
Greenville, South Carolina

subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, partners' equity and  cash flows for  each of the  two years in  the

responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance  about whether  the consolidated  financial statements  are
free of material misstatement.   An audit includes  examining, on a test  basis,
evidence supporting the  amounts and disclosures  in the consolidated  financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates  made by  management, as  well as  evaluating the  overall
consolidated financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe that  our  audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above  present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Century
Properties Growth Fund XXII  and its subsidiaries as  of December 31, 1996,  and
the results of its operations and  its cash flows for each  of the two years  in

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization:

Century Properties Growth Fund XXII (the "Partnership") is a California  limited
partnership organized  in  August  1984,  to  acquire  and  operate  residential
apartment complexes. The  Partnership's general partner  is Fox  Partners IV,  a
California general partnership.  The general partners of Fox Partners IV are Fox
Capital Management Corporation  (the "Managing  General Partner"  or "FCMC"),  a
California corporation,  Fox  Realty  Investors ("FRI"),  a  California  general
partnership and  Fox  Associates 84,  a  California general  partnership.    The
capital contributions of $82,848,000 ($1,000 per unit) were made by the  limited
partners.

Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the statements of the  Partnership
and eight subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and  balances
have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Partnership considers all  highly liquid investments  with a maturity,  when
purchased, of three months or  less to be cash  equivalents.  At certain  times,
the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits.

Investment Properties in Real Estate:

In 1995 the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No.
121, "Accounting  for the  Impairment of  Long-Lived Assets  and for  Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed  Of," which requires impairment  losses to be recorded  on
long-lived assets used in operations when  indicators of impairment are  present
and the undiscounted cash  flows estimated to be  generated by those assets  are
less than  the assets'  carrying  amount. The  impairment  loss is  measured  by
comparing the fair value  of the asset to  its carrying amount.   The effect  of
adoption was not material.

Depreciation:

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated  lives
of the rental properties and  related personal property  ranging from  5 to  30
years.

Loan Costs:

Loan costs of $2,065,000 are included in "Deferred financing costs, net" in  the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are  being amortized on a  straight-
line basis  over the  life of  the loans.   At  December 31,  1996,  accumulated
amortization is $312,000.  Amortization of loan  costs is  included in  interest
expense.

Leases:

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.
The Partnership recognizes income as earned on its leases.

Fair Value:

In 1995, the Partnership implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," which  requires
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate that  value.  The carrying  amount of the  Partnership's
cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to short-term  maturities.
The Partnership  estimates  the  fair  value  of  its  fixed  rate  mortgage  by
discounted cash  flow analysis,  based on  estimated borrowing  rates  currently
available to  the Partnership  ("Note C").    The fair  value of  the  mortgages
approximates their carrying value.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of  financial statements in  conformity with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying  notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes:

Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax  returns
of its partners.   Accordingly, no  provision for income  taxes is  made in  the
consolidated financial statements of the Partnership.

Reclassifications:

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 balances to conform to  the
1996 presentation.

NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership  has no  employees  and is  dependent  on 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.

Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during the first half of 1996,
affiliates of Insignia Financial Group,  Inc. ("Insignia") acquired (i)  control
of NPI Equity Investments II, Inc. ("NPI Equity"), the managing general  partner
of FRI, and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of FCMC.  NPI
Equity is  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  National  Property  Investors,  Inc.
("NPI"). In connection with these transactions, affiliates of Insignia appointed
new officers and directors of NPI Equity and FCMC.

The following payments were made to the Managing General Partner and  affiliates
in 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

                                                        For the Year Ended
                                                           December 31,
                                                         1996        1995
Property management fees (included in operating
  expenses)                                           $ 1,010       $ 1,011

Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included
  in investment properties, general and
   administrative expenses and operating expenses)        182           174


For the period  from January  19, 1996, to  December 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.

An affiliate of the Managing General  Partner was paid fees of $43,000  relating
to  a  successful  real  estate  tax  appeal  on  the  Partnership's  investment
properties during the year  ended December 31,  1995.  This  fee is included  in
operating expenses.

In connection with  the refinancing of  Hampton Greens,  Stoney Creek,  Cooper's
Pointe and Copper Mill  in December 1995, an  affiliate of the Managing  General
Partner received  $116,000.   This amount  is  included in  "Deferred  financing
costs, net."

In connection with  the refinancing of  Wood Creek, Four  Winds, and  Plantation
Creek, Insignia Capital  Advisors, Inc., an  affiliate of  the Managing  General
Partner, received $192,000 in January 1996.  In connection with the  refinancing
of Autumn Run  in November 1996,  an affiliate of  the Managing General  Partner
received $14,000.   These  amounts are  included in  "Deferred financing  costs,
net."

In addition, approximately $574,000 of insurance premiums which were paid to  an
affiliate of  NPI  Inc.  under  a  master  insurance  policy  arranged  by  such
affiliate, are included in  operating expenses for the  year ended December  31,
1995.

In accordance with  the partnership agreement,  the general  partner received  a
Partnership management  incentive allocation  equal to  ten percent  of net  and
taxable losses and cash distributions.   The general partner was also  allocated
its two percent continuing interest in the Partnership's net and taxable  losses
and cash distributions after the above allocation of the Partnership  management
incentive.  Gains from the disposition of Partnership properties were  allocated
first to the general partner to the extent of distributions received or they are
entitled to  receive, then  12% of  the remainder  until the deficit in  their
capital account is eliminated. 

On March  29, 1996,  an affiliate  of Insignia  acquired the  corporate  general
partners owning  1% of  the subsidiary  partnerships which  own the  Wood  Creek
Apartments, Four Winds Apartments,  Plantation Creek Apartments, Hampton  Greens
Apartments, Stoney  Creek Apartments,  Cooper's Pointe  Apartments, Copper  Mill
Apartments and Promontory Point Apartments.

disposition of $2,033,000. The Partnership also recognized an extraordinary loss

Agreement.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding limited partnership

      executive officers as
      a group                          --                  --

There are no arrangements known to the Partnership, the operation of which  may,
at a subsequent date, result in a change in control of the Partnership.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership  has no  employees  and is  dependent  on 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.

Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during the first half of 1996,
affiliates of Insignia Financial Group,  Inc. ("Insignia") acquired (i)  control
of NPI Equity Investments II, Inc. ("NPI Equity"), the managing general  partner
of FRI, and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of FCMC.  NPI
Equity is  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  National  Property  Investors,  Inc.
("NPI"). In connection with these transactions, affiliates of Insignia appointed
new officers and directors of NPI Equity and FCMC.

The following payments were made to the Managing General Partner and  affiliates
in 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

                                                       For the Year Ended
                                                           December 31,
                                                        1996        1995

Property management fees (included in operating
  expenses)                                          $ 1,010       $ 1,011
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included
  in investment properties, general and
  administrtive expenses and operating expenses)         182           174


For the period  from January  19, 1996, to  December 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.

An affiliate of the Managing General  Partner was paid fees of $43,000  relating
to  a  successful  real  estate  tax  appeal  on  the  Partnership's  investment
properties during the year  ended December 31,  1995.  This  fee is included  in
operating expenses.

In connection with  the refinancing of  Hampton Greens,  Stoney Creek,  Cooper's
Pointe and Copper Mill  in December 1995, an  affiliate of the Managing  General
Partner received  $116,000.   This amount  is  included in  "Deferred  financing
costs, net."

In connection with  the refinancing of  Wood Creek, Four  Winds, and  Plantation
Creek, Insignia Capital  Advisors, Inc., an  affiliate of  the Managing  General
Partner, received $192,000 in January 1996.  In connection with the  refinancing
of Autumn Run  in November 1996,  an affiliate of  the Managing General  Partner
received $14,000.  These costs are included in "Deferred financing costs, net."

In addition, approximately $574,000 of insurance premiums which were paid to  an
affiliate of  NPI  Inc.  under  a  master  insurance  policy  arranged  by  such
affiliate, are included in  operating expenses for the  year ended December  31,
1995.

As a result  of its ownership  of 17,022.5 limited  partnership units,  Insignia
Properties L.P.  ("Insignia  LP")  could  be  in  a  position  to  significantly
influence all  voting decisions  with respect  to the  Partnership.   Under  the
Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are  entitled
to take action with respect to  a variety of matters.   When voting on  matters,
Insignia LP would  in all  likelihood vote  the Units  it acquired  in a  manner
favorable to  the  interest of  the  Managing  General Partner  because  of  its
affiliation with the Managing General Partner.  However, Insignia LP has  agreed
for the benefit of non-tendering unitholders,  that is will vote its Units:  (i)
against any proposal to increase the fees and other compensation payable by  the
Partnership to the Managing General Partner and any of its affiliates; and  (ii)
with respect to any proposal made by the Managing General Partner or any of  its
affiliates, in proportion to  votes cast by other  unitholders.  Except for  the
foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on Insignia LP's right to vote  each
Unit acquired.
