Town Place ($19,000) and from Pelican Sound ($21,000).

For the six month period total rental expense increased in the 1996
period by $77,000 from $1,690,000 to $1,767,000.  This increase was
comprised of increases from The Meadows II of $34,000, from Town
Place of $17,000 and from Pelican Sound of $26,000.

Net income from rental property operations before debt service and
depreciation was approximately $576,000 for the second quarter of
1996, compared to $536,000 for the comparative 1995 period, an
increase of approximately $40,000.  The increase was comprised of
increases from The Meadows II ($61,000), and Pelican Sound
($2,000), offset by a decrease at Town Place of $23,000.

For the six month period net income from rental operations before
depreciation and debt service was approximately $1,206,000 for the
1996 period compared to $1,094,000 for the comparable 1995 period,
an increase of $112,000.  The increase was comprised of an increase
from The Meadows II of $142,000 offset by decreases from Town Place
of $10,000 and Pelican Sound of $20,000.  The big increase in The
Meadows II was due to the improved occupancy in 1996 as compared to
the very low occupancy in 1995 due to competition from new
apartment construction in that area for all six months of 1995.

As a result of the foregoing, net operating income before
depreciation and debt service was $576,000 for the quarter compared
to $536,000 for the comparative quarter.  For the quarter, Pelican
Sound contributed $255,000 (44%) of net operating income before
depreciation and debt service; The Meadows contributed $175,000
(31%); and Town Place contributed $146,000 (25%).

For the six month period, the operating income was $1,206,000 for
the current year compared to $1,094,000 for the period year.
Pelican Sound contributed $474,000 (39%), The Meadows II
contributed $409,000 (34%) and Town Place contributed $323,000
(27%).

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 decreased $421 from
the comparative period but increased $33,700 for the six month
period.

The net income before debt service from real estate activities is
partially sheltered by deductions for depreciation which do not
affect cash flow.  Depreciation decreased $2,800 for the second
quarter of 1996 compared to 1995, and by $8,000 for the six month
period.

The Partnership's net other expenses decreased in 1996 by
approximately $19,000 for the second quarter and by $26,000 for the
six month period compared to the respective prior year periods.
Interest income increased $26,000, offset by an increase in
partnership management expenses of $7,000 for the second quarter.
For the comparative six month periods interest income increased
$11,000 and partnership management expenses decreased by $15,000
compared to the prior year periods  The increase in interest earned
is primarily attributable to a larger investment portfolio.

As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership's net loss for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $87,000, compared to a loss of
$150,000 in the same period of 1995.  For the six month period the
net loss decreased from $291,000 to $175,000.  Exclusive of
depreciation and amortization, the Partnership's net income for the
second quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $189,000 and
$129,000 and for the comparative six month periods $371,000 and
$267,000.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

At June 30, 1996 there was $4,658,000 of cash and cash equivalents
and escrow deposits available to pay liabilities compared to
$243,000 available at December 31, 1995.

During the first six months of 1996, escrow deposits increased by
$155,000 and cash and cash equivalents increased by $4,260,000.
During the period $560,000 was generated by operating activities,
$187,000 was from investing activities and $3,513,000 from
financing activities as shown herein on the Statements of Cash
Flows.

During the first six months of 1995 cash flow from operations of
$560,000, plus $267,000 from the Ashley Pointe Exchange Escrow,
provided funds to make the cash distributions paid to the Limited
Partners of $437,000, to make capitalized improvements of $80,000,
and to increase cash reserves. Day-to-day operating expenses are
presently being funded from  operations and do not require the use
of cash reserves.

On May 16, 1996 the partnership refinanced the $2.5 million
mortgage loan on Town Place with a new mortgage loan of $6.7
million.  The loan is for seven years at an interest rate fixed at
8.25% for the first five years and then subject to periodic changes
based on a "Treasury Rate".  Monthly payments of principal and
interest are to be made in amount of $52,286.  Debt issue cost of
$218,009 are being amortized over the seven year period of the
loan.  The additional funds were borrowed to provide short-term
liquidity and in the long-term to either acquire an additional
investment property or to repurchase Limited Partner Interests.

The Agreement of Limited Partnership provides that the Partnership
will make distributions for each calendar quarter of Cash Flow less
amounts set aside for Reserves.  In April the Partnership paid to
the Limited Partners the March declaration of $218,330 ($12.50 per
Interest) and declared a similar amount payable for the second
quarter of 1996 to be paid in July 1996.  The distribution payable
to the General Partner of $2,000 was accrued and payment will be
made subsequently.  The Partnership intends, but is not required,
to continue to make cash distributions to the Limited Partners each
quarter in the same amount.

During the first six months of 1996 total liabilities increased by
$4,455,000.  The increase in liabilities is primarily attributable
to a net increase in mortgage loans of $4,091,000.  Accounts
payable and accrued taxes increased $257,000.  Accrued interest of
$7,000.  Distributions payable increased $2,000.  Payables to
affiliates increased $99,000.  The increases were offset by a
decrease in tenant security deposits of $1,000.

The outstanding principal balance on mortgage notes was increased
by $4,090,965 during the six month period.  The Town Place
refinancing transaction increased the mortgage debt by $4.2
million.  This was offset by mortgage payments of $109,000.
Scheduled mortgage debt principal reductions are approximately
$140,000 over the balance of the year.

Partners' Capital decreased by $614,000 during the six months of
1996 due to the net loss for financial reporting purposes of
approximately $175,000 and cash distributions declared payable to
the partners of $439,000.

Restricted funds of $230,103 are held in the exchange escrow.  The
funds were to be used to acquire a replacement property and
complete the like-kind exchange.  However, they may also and have
been used to provide additional liquidity, if necessary.

The refinancing of the Town Place mortgage creates an opportunity
for the Partnership to better meet its investment objectives.  The
General Partner believes that continued ownership by the
Partnership of its properties is in the long-term best interests of
the Limited Partners.  Accordingly, the General Partner believes
that the Partnership should continue to operate its properties and
acquire and operate additional residential apartment complexes in
order to achieve the principal investment objectives of the
Partnership.  An affiliate of the General Partner has recently made
offers to purchase apartment complexes located in Florida and
Wisconsin.  If either of the offers are accepted, the contracts
could be assigned to the Partnership.

In order for the Partnership to meet its stated investment
objectives, the General Partner believes that an additional
investment property should be acquired.  The General Partner
believes that a sale of any of the properties at this time and a
distribution of the proceeds to the Partners would dramatically
reduce the chances of the Partnership meeting its investment
objectives.  While there can be no assurance that the Partnership's
properties will appreciate in value from their present level, the
General Partner, based on its experience in the real estate
industry, believes that such appreciation will occur over time and
that continued ownership by the Partnership of its properties is in
the long-term best interests of the Partners.  There can, of
course, be no assurance that such appreciation will occur, or if it
does occur, that it will result in any specific level of return to
the Partners.  The General Partner believes that the Partnership
may be required to retain the properties for a substantial
additional period in order to maximize the potential profit on
sale.  Therefore, the Partnership may continue to operate its
existing three apartment properties and possibly trade for another
property.  The term of the partnership expires in December 2005.

Although the General Partner strongly favors the alternative of
continuing and possibly expanding real estate operations, it is
evaluating whether the Partnership should use the net proceeds from
refinancing the Town Place mortgage and the balance of the Ashley
Pointe Exchange Escrow to repurchase Interests from the Limited
Partners who desire to sell those Interests, while offering other
Limited Partners the option of holding their Interests subject to
the potential of future gain or loss.  The General Partner is aware
of 23 "secondary market" sales of Limited Partner Interests during
the past two years at prices averaging $363 per Interest.  Based
upon these transactions and based upon conversations with Limited
Partners from time to time, and their representatives, the General
Partner believes that there are certain Limited Partners who desire
to sell their Interests immediately for cash in order to obtain
liquidity and other Limited Partners who do not need or desire the
liquidity and would prefer the opportunity to retain their
Interests in order to benefit from any potential future capital
appreciation that may be realized from continued operation and
eventual sale of the Partnership's properties or other properties
to be acquired.  The General Partner believes that the Limited
Partners should be entitled to make a choice between immediate
liquidity and continued ownership and, thus, believes that an offer
by the Partnership to repurchase its Interests may accommodate the
differing goals of both groups of Limited Partners.  If this course
of action is pursued, it would permit the Limited Partners either
to sell their Interests, or to continue holding their Interests
subject to the potential of future gain or loss.  Accordingly, the
General Partner intends to appraise  the properties owned by the
Partnership to estimate their value and to determine a fair price
for the Partnership to offer to repurchase Limited Partner
Interests.  The General Partner expects to complete this process
before year end.
