Note A--Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal

that may be  expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.  For

footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

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

Results of Operations 

Operating revenue from rental income was $1,477,900 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1996, compared to $1,414,500 for the same period of
1995, an increase of 4.5%.  Rental income was provided by the three
sites per the following for the three month period:

                                                   Increase
                      3/31/96        3/31/95      (Decrease)
Meadows II          $  481,400     $  412,600     $   68,800
Town Place             397,700        386,600         11,100
Pelican Sound          598,800        615,300        (16,500)
Total               $1,477,900     $1,414,500     $   63,400

The average monthly gross potential rent per unit at the Apartments
for the first quarter of 1996, and the comparative period in 1995
is set forth below:

                          Number                        
                         of Units      1996        1995
Pelican Sound               379        $564        $551

All Rental Units            935        $564        $558

"Gross potential rent" represents the asking rent established by
the Partnership for a vacant apartment plus the rent in effect for
occupied apartments. 

The average occupancy level at the Apartments for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, and the comparable period in 1995, is set forth
below:
                                  Three Months Ended   
                                  3/31/96     3/31/95  

Pelican Sound                       94.5%       96.3%
The Meadows II                      91.2%       76.5%  
Town Place                          93.3%       96.4%  
All Rental Units                    93.1%       89.5%

The range of occupancy levels at the Apartments for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996, and the comparable period in 1995, is
set forth below:

                                  Three Months Ended     
                                  3/31/96     3/31/95    

Pelican Sound                     91.5-99.0%  95.7-96.9%
The Meadows II                    90.4-91.7%  74.5-80.0%   
Town Place                        93.3-93.7%  95.5-97.0%  
All Rental Units                  91.9-94.7%  88.3-91.1%

Total rental expenses before depreciation and debt service in the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 decreased by $9,000, from
$857,000 to $848,000, compared to the same period of 1995.  The
decrease was comprised of decreases from The Meadows II ($11,000)
and Town Place ($3,000), offset by an increase from Pelican Sound
($5,000).

Net income from rental property operations before debt service and
depreciation was approximately $630,000 for the first three months
of 1996, compared to $558,000 for the comparative period, an
increase of approximately $72,000.  The increase was comprised of
increases from The Meadows II ($80,000), and Town Place ($14,000),
offset by a decrease at Pelican Sound of $22,000.

As a result of the foregoing, net operating income before
depreciation and debt service was $630,000 for the quarter compared
to $558,000 for the comparative quarter.  For the quarter, Pelican
Sound contributed $219,000 (35%) of net operating income before
depreciation and debt service; The Meadows contributed $234,000
(37%); and Town Place contributed $177,000 (28%). 

Interest expense increased 34,200 from the comparative 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 $5,000 from 1996 to 1995
for the respective three month periods.

The Partnership's net other expenses decreased in 1996 by
approximately $7,000.  Interest income decreased $15,000, offset by
a decrease in partnership management expenses of $22,000.  The
decrease in interest earned is primarily attributable to a smaller
investment portfolio since the like-kind exchange escrow funds have
been used to supplement the cash distributions to partners.  

As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership's net loss for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $88,000, compared to a loss of
$142,000 in the same period of 1995.  Exclusive of depreciation and
amortization, the Partnership's net income for the quarters ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995 was $182,000 and $138,000.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

At March 31, 1996 there was $477,000 of cash and cash equivalents
and escrow deposits available to pay liabilities compared to
$243,000 available at December 31, 1995.

During the first three months of 1996, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $179,000.  During the period $215,000 was generated by
operating activities, $237,000 was from investing activities  and
approximately $273,000 was used in financing activities that
included payments on the mortgage notes and distributions to
partners as shown herein on the Statements of Cash Flows.

Operations provided cash flow which was used to partially fund the
cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners of $218,000.
Day-to-day operating expenses are presently being funded from 
operations and do not require the use of cash reserves.

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 January the Partnership paid to
the Limited Partners the December declaration of $218,330 ($12.50
per Interest) and declared a similar amount payable for the first
quarter of 1996 to be paid in April 1996.  The distribution payable
to the General Partner of $1,000 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 three months of 1996 total liabilities increased
by $9,000.  The increase in liabilities is attributable to an
increase in accounts payable and accrued taxes of $66,000, an
increase in accrued interest of $2,000, and an increase in
distributions payable of $1,000, an increase in tenant security
deposits of $2,000, offset by decreases in mortgage notes payable
of $54,000, and a decrease in payables to affiliates of $8,000.

The outstanding principal balance on mortgage notes was reduced by
$54,505 during the quarter.  Scheduled mortgage debt principal
reductions are approximately $2,648,000 over the balance of the
year, including the balloon payment of $2.5 million on the Town
Place mortgage note due May 15, 1996 (maturity date was extended
during the quarter).  A financial institution has committed to lend
$6.7 million to refinance the $2.5 million mortgage note on Town
Place; the excess may be used to repurchase Interests and for other
workping capital purposes.  The $10 million note on Pelican Sound
required payments of interest only until January 1, 1996, at which
time payments of principal are also required with payments of
$67,185 per month for principal and interest plus tax escrow
deposits of $24,000 per month.

Partners' Capital decreased by $308,000 during the first three
months of 1996 due to the net loss for financial reporting purposes
of  approximately $89,000 and cash distributions declared payable
to the partners of $219,000. 

Restricted funds of $227,904 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.
