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-QSB and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six month period ended June 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be  expected for
the year ended December 31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

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

Results of Operations 

Operating revenue from rental income was $1,529,300 in the quarter ended
June 30, 1997, compared to $1,495,400 for the same period of 1996, an
increase of 2.3%. For the six month period ended June 30,1997 rental
income was $3,064,800 compared to $2,973,300 for the same period in
1996, an increase of 3.1%. Rental income was provided by the three sites
for the comparative three and six month periods set forth below:
                                                        Percent

Town Place        819,300        774,100         45,200     5.8%
Total          $3,064,800     $2,973,300     $   91,500     3.1%

The increased revenue at Pelican Sound and Town Place are attributable
to both rent increases and higher occupancy.  The revenue decrease at
Meadows II is primarily attributable to lower occupancy which resulted
from increasing the asking rents.

The average monthly gross potential rent per unit at the Apartments for
the second quarter of 1997 and for the six month period of 1997, and the
comparative periods in 1996, is set forth below:

                 Number   Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended
                of Units 6/30/97    6/30/96    6/30/97    6/30/96
Pelican Sound      379      $583       $566       $581       $565
The Meadows II     316      $577       $560       $574       $560
Town Place         240      $589       $574       $585       $572
All Rental Units   935      $582       $566       $580       $565

"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 second quarter
ended June 30, 1997 and for the six month period of 1997, and the
comparable periods in 1996, is set forth below:

                   Three Months Ended       Six Months Ended

Total rental expenses before depreciation and debt service in the three
month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased by $36,000, from $920,000 to
$884,000, compared to the same period of 1996.  The decrease was
comprised of decreases at Town Place ($18,000) and Pelican Sound
($28,000), offset by an increase at Meadows II of $11,000.

For the six month period total rental expense increased in the 1997
period by $34,000 from $1,768,000 to $1,802,000.  This increase was
comprised of increases at Town Place of $17,000 and at Pelican Sound of
$28,000, offset by a decrease at The Meadows II of $11,000.

Net income from rental property operations before debt service and
depreciation was approximately $645,000 for the second quarter of
1997, compared to $576,000 for the comparative 1996 period, an increase
of approximately $69,000.  The increase was comprised of increases at
Pelican Sound ($25,000) and at Town Place of $45,000, offset by a
decrease at Meadows II of $1,000.

For the six month period net income from rental operations before
depreciation and debt service was approximately $1,263,000 for the  1997
period compared to $1,206,000 for the comparable 1996 period, an
increase of $57,000.  The increase was comprised of increases  from Town
Place of $27,000 and Pelican Sound of $55,000, offset by a decrease from
the Meadows II of $25,000.

As a result of the foregoing, net operating income before depreciation
and debt service was $645,000 for the quarter compared to $576,000 for
the comparative quarter.  For the quarter, Pelican Sound contributed
$280,000 (43%) of net operating income before depreciation and debt
service; The Meadows contributed $174,000 (27%); and Town Place
contributed $191,000 (30%). 

As a result of the foregoing, the net operating income before
depreciation and debt service was $1,263,000 for the current six months
compared to $1,206,000 for the comparative period. Pelican Sound
contributed $529,000 (39%), The Meadows II contributed $384,000 (34%)
and Town Place contributed $350,000 (27%).

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 increased $62,000 from
the comparative period and increased $99,000 for the six month period. 
The increase was primarily the result of the additional debt service
incurred on the increased loan amount from the refinancing of the
mortgage on Town Place Apartments which occurred in May 1996.

The net income before debt service from real estate activities is
partially sheltered by deductions for depreciation and amortization
which do not affect cash flow.  Depreciation increased $9,900 for the
second quarter of 1997 compared to 1996, and by $22,500 for the six
month period. 

The Partnership's net other expenses increased in 1997 by approximately
$118,000.  Partnership management expenses increased $139,000, offset by
an increase in interest income of $21,000.  The increase in partnership
management expenses of $139,000 is primarily attributable to the
litigation expenses incurred in the lawsuit against Arnold K. Leas,
Wellington Management Corporation, and WMC Realty, Inc. and for costs
incurred for the proxy solicitation to adopt an amendment to Section 8
of the Limited Partnership Agreement encaptioned the "Fair Price
Provision".  The increase in interest earned is primarily attributable
to income from a larger investment portfolio arising from the
refinancing in May 1996 of the Town Place mortgage.

As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership's net loss for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 was $121,000, compared to a loss of $87,000 in the
same period of 1996.  Exclusive of depreciation and amortization, the
Partnership's net income for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
was $165,000 and $189,000, and for the six month periods $212,000 for
1997 compared to $371,000 for 1996.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

At June 30, 1997 there was $2.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and
escrow deposits available to pay liabilities.  Current liabilities are
approximately $4.2 million at June 30, 1997, of which approximately $2.6
million is payable to the General  Partner and does not currently bear
interest.  The General Partner more likely than not will be paid the
entire amount of deferred fees and deferred interest thereon of $730,000
during 1997 (which would eliminate all unrestricted cash reserves of the
Partnership).  The actual timing of the payment of deferred fees and
related interest will take into account the amount of cash reserves to
be set aside that the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate for
the operation and protection of the Partnership.

During the first six months of 1997, cash and cash equivalents decreased
by $305,000.  During the period $254,000 was provided by operating
activities, $79,000 was used in investing activities  and approximately
$480,000 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.

Cash reserves were used to fund part of the cash distributions paid to
the Limited Partners of $335,000 during the six months of 1997.  Usually
day-to-day operating expenses are funded from  operations and do not
require the use of cash reserves.  However, the litigation and proxy
solicitation during the first quarter required the need of operating
cash and 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 April the Partnership paid to the Limited
Partners the March declaration of $167,500 ($12.50 per Interest) and
declared a similar amount payable for the second quarter of 1997 to be
paid in July 1997.  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.

The outstanding principal balance on mortgage notes was reduced by
$145,000 during the quarter.  Scheduled mortgage debt principal
reductions are approximately $131,000 over the balance of the year.

Partners' Capital decreased by $694,000 during the first six months of
1997 due to the net loss for financial reporting purposes of 
approximately $357,000 and cash distributions declared payable to the
partners of $337,000. 

In its ordinary course of operations, the Partnership is negotiating to
sell Town Place Apartments for approximately $10.1 million.  Tentative
closing would be scheduled to occur on or before January 15, 1998, but
in no event earlier than January 1, 1998.  If the proposed transaction
is consummated, which is subject to numerous conditions, it is
anticipated that the transaction will be structured as a like-kind
exchange qualifying under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  As
of this date, the Partnership has not identified a "replacement
property" nor has any Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Town Place
Apartments, Clearwater, Florida been signed.  These negotiations are
ongoing and an offer lapsed, without acceptance, on Monday, August 4,
1997.  Since that date, there have been no further negotiations or
communications.
