                                  (unaudited)


Readers of this  Quarterly  Report  should  refer  to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1997, which are
included  in  the  Partnership's  1997   Annual  Report,  as  certain  footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
financial statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland  Real  Estate  Growth  Fund,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"),  is  a limited
partnership formed  in  June  1985  pursuant  to  the  Delaware Revised Uniform
Limited Partnership Act, to invest in income-producing multi-family residential
properties. On December  9,  1985,  the  Partnership  commenced  an Offering of
25,000 (decreased to  16,000  Units  in  1986)  Limited  Partnership Units (the
"Units") pursuant to  a  Registration  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933. The
Partnership terminated its Offering in August  1987 with a total of 9,465 Units
sold, yielding gross offering proceeds  of  $9,465,000, of which $5,633,955 was
invested in  two  properties,  Country  Club  Apartments  and Scottsdale Sierra
Apartments. All of the holders of these Units were admitted to the Partnership.
In January 1988, the Partnership repurchased a total of 90 Units ($90,000) from
certain  investors  who  were  deemed  not  eligible  to  be  partners  in this
Partnership  under  the  Partnership  Agreement.  As  of  March  31,  1998, the
Partnership had repurchased 128  Units  ($120,328)  through the Unit Repurchase
Program from various Limited  Partners.  In  addition,  the General Partner has
repurchased 21.57 Units ($18,064)  with  its  own funds from cash distributions
received through March 31, 1998. The  Limited Partners of the Partnership share
in the benefits of ownership of  the Partnership's real property investments in
proportion  to  the  number  of  Units  held.  Inland  Real  Estate  Investment
Corporation is the General Partner.

The preparation of financial  statements  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires  management  to  make  estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts  of  assets  and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners' capital accounts.

                     INLAND REAL ESTATE GROWTH FUND, L.P.
                            (a limited partnership)

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (continued)

                                March 31, 1998
                                  (unaudited)


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No.  121 ("SFAS 121") requires the
Partnership to record  an  impairment  loss  on  its  property  to  be held for
investment whenever  its  carrying  value  cannot  be  fully  recovered through
estimated undiscounted future cash  flows  from  their operations and sale. The
amount of the impairment loss to  be recognized would be the difference between
the property's carrying  value  and  the  property's  estimated fair value. The
Partnership's policy  is  to  consider  a  property  to  be  held  for  sale or
disposition when the Partnership has committed to sell such property and active
marketing activity has commenced or is  expected  to commence in the near term.
Effective January 1, 1997, the  Partnership's  investment property was held for
sale. In accordance with SFAS 121, any property identified as "held for sale or
disposition" is no longer depreciated. Adjustments for impairment loss for such
properties (subsequent to the date of  adoption  of  SFAS 121) are made in each
period as necessary to report these  properties  at the lower of carrying value
or fair value less costs to sell. As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership has not
recognized any such impairment on its property. Reference is made to Note 3 for
discussion on the sale of the Partnership's investment property.

The Partnership used the straight-line method of depreciation with useful lives
of thirty years and  five  years  for  buildings  and improvements and personal
property,  respectively.  Maintenance  and   repair  expenses  are  charged  to
operations as incurred. Significant improvements are capitalized and were being
depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Deferred financing costs are amortized on  a straight-line basis over the terms
of the related loan.

The Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a
maturity of three months or  less  to  be  cash  equivalents and are carried at
cost, which approximates market.

Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  No.  128 "Earnings per Share" was
adopted by the Partnership for the  year  ended  December 31, 1997 and has been
applied to all prior  earnings  periods  presented in the financial statements.
The Partnership has no dilutive securities.

No provision for Federal income taxes  has  been made as the liability for such
taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership.

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  contain  all the
adjustments necessary, which  are  of  a  normal  recurring  nature, to present
fairly the financial position and  results  of operations.  Interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (continued)

                                March 31, 1998
                                  (unaudited)


(2) Transactions with Affiliates

The General  Partner  and  its  Affiliates  are  entitled  to reimbursement for
salaries and expenses of employees  of  the  General Partner and its Affiliates
relating to the administration of the  Partnership.  Such costs are included in
professional services and general and administrative expenses to Affiliates, of
which $4,951 and $1,312 was unpaid as  of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively.

The Partnership's property is managed  by  an  Affiliate of the General Partner
pursuant to a management agreement which provides for annual fees not to exceed
4.5% of gross rental receipts.    The Affiliate earned Property Management Fees
of $13,206 and $12,891 for  the  three  months  ended  March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.   Such  fees  are  included  in  property  operating  expenses to
Affiliates, all of which have been paid as of March 31, 1998. 

In  connection  with  the  sales  of  Country  Club  condominium  units,  sales
commissions of $200,441, that have not been  included in the costs of sale, may
be payable to an  Affiliate  of  the  General  Partner  to  the extent that the
Limited Partners have received their Original  Capital plus a return thereon as
specified in the Partnership Agreement.  In the opinion of the General Partner,
it is unlikely that these sales commissions will be paid by the Partnership.


(3) Subsequent Events

On April 1, 1998, the  Partnership  paid  an additional $100,000 as a principal
reduction  of  the  long-term  debt  collateralized  by  the  Scottsdale Sierra
Apartments.

On May 6, 1998,  the  Partnership  sold  its remaining asset, Scottsdale Sierra
Apartments to an unaffiliated third-party  for  $7,800,000.  The property had a
basis of $4,798,607, net of  depreciation,  resulting  in a gain of $2,831,814,
net of closing costs. The balance on  the  related debt of $374,624 was paid at
closing. Net sales proceeds will be  distributed to the Limited Partners during
second or third  quarter  1998  after  a  final  reconciliation of property and
Partnership expenses.

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

Certain statements in this  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and  elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q constitute of "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.   These forward-
looking statements involve  known  and  unknown  risks, uncertainties and other
factors which  may  cause  the  Partnership's  actual  results, performance, or
achievements to be materially  different  from any future results, performance,
or achievements  expressed  or  implied  by  these  forward-looking statements.
These factors include, among  other  things,  competition for tenants; federal,
state or  local  regulations;  adverse  changes  in  general  economic or local
conditions; inability  of  borrower  to  meet  financial obligations; uninsured
losses; and potential conflicts  of  interest  between  the Partnership and its
Affiliates, including the General Partner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 9, 1985, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 25,000 (decreased
to 16,000 in 1986  as  described  in  Item  1  above) Limited Partnership Units
pursuant to a Registration Statement on  Form  S-11 under the Securities Act of
1933. The Offering terminated in August  1987  with a total of 9,465 Units sold
to the public at  $1,000  per  Unit  resulting  in $9,465,000 in gross offering
proceeds, which does not  include  the  General Partner's contribution of $500.
All of the holders of  these  Units  were  admitted  to the Partnership. Of the
$9,465,000  of  gross  offering  proceeds,   $5,633,955  was  invested  in  two
properties,  Country  Club  Apartments  and  Scottsdale  Sierra  Apartments. In
addition, proceeds from the Offering were  used  to pay debt service on certain
notes payable incurred  with  property  acquisitions, offering and organization
costs and distributions to Limited  Partners.  In January 1988, the Partnership
repurchased a total of 90 Units  ($90,000)  from certain investors who were not
deemed eligible to be  partners  in  this  Partnership  under  the terms of the
Partnership Agreement. As of  March  31,  1998, the Partnership had repurchased
128 Units ($120,328) through the  Unit  Repurchase Program from various Limited
Partners.  In  addition,  the  General  Partner  has  repurchased  21.57  Units
($18,064) with its own funds from  cash  distributions received as of March 31,
1998.

At March 31, 1998, the Partnership  had  cash and cash equivalents of $119,873.
The Partnership intends to  use  such  funds  to  provide cash distributions to
partners, pay down the debt on the Scottsdale Sierra Apartments and for working
capital requirements.

The Partnership is generating sufficient  cash flow to cover operating expenses
and  debt  service.    To  the  extent  that  the  Partnership's  cash  flow is
insufficient to meet  the  Partnership's  needs,  the  Partnership  may rely on
advances from Affiliates of the General Partner, other short-term financing, or
may sell the remaining property.








                                      -9-



On May 6, 1998,  the  Partnership  sold  its remaining asset, Scottsdale Sierra
Apartments to an unaffiliated third-party  for  $7,800,000.  The property had a
basis of $4,798,607, net of  depreciation,  resulting  in a gain of $2,831,814,
net of closing costs. The balance on  the  related debt of $374,624 was paid at
closing. Net sales proceeds will be  distributed to the Limited Partners during
second or third  quarter  1998  after  a  final  reconciliation of property and
Partnership expenses.

Results of Operations

As of January  1,  1997,  the  Partnership  listed  and  was actively marketing
Scottsdale Sierra Apartments for sale  at  an  amount in excess of its carrying
value, and accordingly, suspended depreciation  at  that  time. On May 6, 1998,
the Partnership sold its  remaining  asset,  Scottsdale Sierra Apartments to an
unaffiliated  third-party  for  $7,800,000.    The  property  had  a  basis  of
$4,798,607, net of depreciation,  resulting  in  a  gain  of $2,831,814, net of
closing costs. The balance on the related debt of $374,624 was paid at closing.
Net sales proceeds will be distributed to the Limited Partners during second or
third quarter 1998 after  a  final  reconciliation  of property and Partnership
expenses.

Rental and  other  income  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998 was
relatively comparable to  the  three  months  ended  March  31, 1997.  Property
operating expenses to non-affiliates decreased for the three months ended March
31, 1998, as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997, due to
decreases in repair and  maintenance,  marketing  and  furniture rentals.  This
decrease was partially offset by  increases  in salaries, security services and
real estate taxes.

Mortgage and other interest  decreased  for  the  three  months ended March 31,
1998, as compared to the three  months  ended  March 31, 1997, due to the lower
principal balance of the mortgage  loan collateralized by the Scottsdale Sierra
Apartments which resulted from principal paydowns on the debt.

General and  administrative  expenses  to  Affiliates  decreased  for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, as  compared  to  the three months ended March 31,
1997, due  to  decreases  in  data  processing  and  investor service expenses.
General and administrative expenses  to  non-affiliates decreased for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, as  compared  to  the three months ended March 31,
1997, due primarily to a decrease in printing expenses.
