Item 1 - Business

The Registrant, John Hancock Realty Income Fund Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), is a limited partnership organized on June 12, 1986 under
the provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  As of
December 31, 1994, the partners in the Partnership consisted of John
Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), John Hancock Realty
Funding, Inc. (the "John Hancock Limited Partner"), and 4,201 Investor
Limited Partners (the "Investors") owning 91,647 Units of Investor Limited
Partnership Interests (the "Units").  The John Hancock Limited Partner and
the Investors are collectively referred to as the Limited Partners.  The
initial capital of the Partnership was $2,000 representing capital
contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner and $1,000 from the John
Hancock Limited Partner.  During the offering period, the John Hancock
Limited Partner made additional capital contributions of $7,330,760.  There
were no changes in the number of Units outstanding subsequent to the
termination of the offering period.  The Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") authorized the
sale of up to 100,000 Units of Investor Limited Partnership Interests at
$500 per Unit.

The Units were offered and sold to the public during the period from
September 9, 1986 to September 9, 1987, pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Partnership
sold the Units for $500 per Unit.  No established public market exists on
which the Units may be traded.

The Partnership is engaged in the business of acquiring, improving,
operating, holding for investment and disposing of existing,
income-producing, commercial and industrial properties on an all-cash
basis, free and clear of mortgage indebtedness.  Although the Partnership's
properties were acquired and are held free and clear of mortgage
indebtedness, the Partnership may incur mortgage indebtedness on its
properties under certain circumstances, as described in the Partnership
Agreement.  The Partnership's principal objectives are to:

    (1)     preserve the capital investment of the Limited Partners;
    
    (2)     provide quarterly distributions of cash from operations on a
            partially tax-deferred basis;
    
    (3)     protect the Limited Partners' investment against inflation;
            and
    
    (4)     obtain long-term appreciation in the market value of its
            properties.

The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is December
31, 2016, unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of
the Partnership Agreement.  It is expected that in the ordinary course of
the Partnership's business, the properties of the Partnership will be
disposed of, and the Partnership terminated, before December 31, 2016.

Item 1 - Business (continued)

The Partnership's equity real estate investments are subject to various
risk factors.  Although the risks of equity investing are reduced when
properties are acquired on an unleveraged basis, the major risk of owning
income-producing properties is the possibility that the properties will not
generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses and to fund adequate
reserves for repair, replacements and contingencies.  The income from
properties may be affected by many factors, including:  i) adverse changes
in general economic conditions and local conditions, such as competitive
over-building, a decrease in employment, or adverse changes in real estate
zoning laws, which may reduce the desirability of real estate in the area
or ii) other circumstances over which the Partnership may have little or no
control, such as fires, earthquakes and floods.  To the extent that the
Partnership's properties are leased in any substantial portion to a
specific retail, industrial or office tenant, the financial failure of any
such major tenant, resulting in the termination of the tenant's lease or
non-payment of rentals due, would likely cause at least a temporary
reduction in cash flow from any such property and might result in a
decrease in the market value of that property.

On October 24, 1986, the Partnership acquired 1300 North Dutton Avenue, an
office/industrial facility located in Santa Rosa, California.  During May
1994, the tenant occupying the property notified the Partnership that it
would not be renewing its lease, which expired on January 31, 1995.  The
General Partner has been offering aggressive rental packages in order to
secure a new tenant for this property.  Market conditions in Santa Rosa for
office/industrial space have declined since the Partnership acquired the
1300 North Dutton Avenue property.  Currently, market conditions for
office/industrial property in Santa Rosa remain competitive.

On February 17, 1987, the Partnership acquired the Marlboro Square Shopping
Center, a neighborhood shopping center located in Marlboro, Massachusetts.
Market conditions in Marlboro have weakened since the Partnership acquired
the property and have remained depressed.  An excess of supply over demand
for retail rental space has resulted in continued high vacancy rates and
competitive pricing for leasing space in the area in which Marlboro Square
is located.  In addition, a proposed new retail development within close
proximity to Marlboro Square is scheduled for completion during Spring
1996.  As a result, the General Partner anticipates that absorption of
existing retail space will remain sluggish during 1995 in the area in which
Marlboro Square is located.  The General Partner will continue to offer
competitive lease rates and concessions at Marlboro Square in an effort to
lease the remaining vacant space at the property.

On November 20, 1987, the Partnership acquired the Crossroads Square
Shopping Center, a neighborhood shopping center located in Jacksonville,
Florida.  Real estate market conditions for retail properties in
Jacksonville have declined since the Partnership acquired the property due
to over-building and slow economic growth which have caused declines in
occupancy and rental rates.  However, occupancy levels and rental rates
stabilized during 1993 and increased duing 1994.  As a result, the General
Partner anticipates favorable retail market conditions in Jacksonville and
the property during 1995.

Item 1 - Business (continued)

On December 22, 1987, the Partnership acquired the Carnegie Center, a
multi-tenant office/industrial facility located in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Since
the Partnership acquired the Carnegie Center, the Cincinnati industrial
real estate market has experienced an oversupply of office\industrial
rental space, which has resulted in a decline in rental rates and an
increase in vacancy rates.  The Carnegie Center property experienced a
significant decrease in average occupancy during 1994.  A tenant that had
occupied approximately 45% of the space at the property did not renew its
leases and vacated its space during 1994.  As a result, at December 31,
1994, the occupancy at the Carnegie Center was 35%.  During the first
quarter of 1995, a new tenant executed a lease for 14,375 square feet of
space, or 11% of the property, for a three year term which commenced in
March 1995.  The General Partner anticipates that market conditions in
Cincinnati will remain competitive during 1995 and, therefore, it will
continue to offer competitive rental rates and concession packages in an
effort to increase occupancy at Carnegie Center.

On February 25, 1988, the Partnership acquired the Warner Plaza Shopping
Center, a neighborhood shopping center located in Chandler, Arizona.  The
Partnership acquired Warner Plaza exclusive of areas owned by a non-
affiliate of the Partnership which were occupied by a supermarket, two
branch offices of local banks and a restaurant.  During the fourth quarter
of 1992, the supermarket tenant vacated its space.  During 1994, the non-
affiliated owner of that space secured two replacement tenants for the
space.  This vacancy of this space did not have a significant negative
impact on the Partnership's operations.  Although real estate market
conditions have declined in Chandler as compared to when the Partnership
acquired the property, population, employment and retail sales have
increased in recent years.  These factors indicate a positive future
outlook for retail markets in Chandler and for Warner Plaza.

On September 13, 1988, the Partnership completed its investment portfolio
with the acquisition of the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center, an
office/service center located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The property is
100% leased to J.C. Penney under a lease that was scheduled to expire
during 1996.  However, during the first quarter of 1995, the General
Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, negotiated an extension of the lease
through 2006.  The tenant has been granted an option to terminate the lease
during the year 2001 upon the payment of $710,325.  The General Partner
anticipates stable income performance from this property during 1995.

Within the power accorded to the General Partner under the terms of the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner contracted, effective as of
January 1, 1992, with Hancock Realty Investors Incorporated ("HRI"), a
wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("John Hancock"), to assist the General Partner in the performance
of its management duties as enumerated in the Partnership Agreement.
Effective May 28, 1993, HRI subcontracted with John Hancock to assist HRI
in the performance of its duties as enumerated in the January 1, 1992
contract.  The Partnership has not incurred any additional costs or
expenses as a result of these agreements.  The General Partner is further
described in Item 10 ("Directors and Executive Officers of the
Partnership") of this Report.

Industry segment information has not been provided since the Partnership is
engaged in only one industry segment.

Item 2 - Properties

As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership held the following properties in
its portfolio:

1300 North Dutton Avenue Office Complex
---------------------------------------
On October 24, 1986, the Partnership purchased the 1300 North Dutton Avenue
office building ("1300 North Dutton Avenue"), located in Santa Rosa,
California, from a non-affiliated seller.  The property consists of one
building with 24,120 rentable square feet of office space.  The building
and two adjacent buildings comprise "Park Campus", an association which in
common owns a 5.9 acre parcel with landscaping and parking serving all
three buildings.  1300 North Dutton Avenue's allocation of interest in Park
Campus is approximately 32% and includes the exclusive right to use 95
parking spaces.

At December 31, 1994, the building was 100% leased to North American
Mortgage Company ("NAMC") under a lease agreement which expired on January
31, 1995.  During May 1994, NAMC notified the Partnership that it would not
be renewing its lease upon its expiration.  The General Partner has been
actively seeking a replacement tenant for the property.

Marlboro Square Shopping Center
-------------------------------
On February 17, 1987, the Partnership purchased the Marlboro Square
Shopping Center ("Marlboro Square"), located in Marlboro, Massachusetts,
from a non-affiliated seller.  The property consists of two freestanding
buildings.  One of the buildings contains 39,150 rentable square feet, and
the other building contains 3,000 rentable square feet, for a total of
42,150 rentable square feet of space.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, the average occupancy of Marlboro
Square was 81%.

Crossroads Square Shopping Center
---------------------------------
On November 20, 1987, the Partnership purchased the Crossroads Square
Shopping Center ("Crossroads Square"), located in Jacksonville, Florida,
from a non-affiliated seller.  Crossroads Square contains 174,196 rentable
square feet of space with a total land area in excess of 18.5 acres.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, the average occupancy of Crossroads
Square was 94%.

Carnegie Center Office/Warehouse
--------------------------------
On December 22, 1987, the Partnership purchased Carnegie Center, located in
Cincinnati, Ohio, from a non-affiliated seller.  The property consists of
two buildings containing an aggregate of 128,059 rentable square feet with
a total land area of approximately 7.8 acres.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, the average occupancy of Carnegie
Center was 65%.  However, actual occupancy at December 31, 1994 was 35%,
due to the fact that a tenant that had occupied 45% of the property vacated
its space upon expiration of its leases in 1994.

<PAGE>
Item 2 - Properties (continued)

Warner Plaza Shopping Center
----------------------------
On February 25, 1988, the Partnership purchased 92,848 rentable square feet
of the Warner Plaza Shopping Center ("Warner Plaza") (which consists of a
total of 148,410 rentable square feet), located in Chandler, Arizona, from
a non-affiliated seller.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, average occupancy, for the portion of
Warner Plaza which is owned by the Partnership, was 97%.

J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center
------------------------------------
On September 13, 1988, the Partnership purchased the J.C. Penney Credit
Operations Center, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from a
non-affiliated seller.  The property, constructed in 1981, consists of one
building with 69,300 square feet of rentable office space.

The property is 100% leased to J.C. Penney Company, Inc. under a fifteen
year lease which was scheduled to expire in June 1996.  During the first
quarter of 1994, the General Partner negotiated a lease extension with this
tenant through June 2006.

The foregoing properties are described more fully in Items 1, 2 and 7 and
Note 4 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report.

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Partnership, to which
the Partnership is a party or to which any of its properties is subject.


Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of the
Partnership during the fourth quarter of 1994.

                                 Part II

Item 5 - Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security
Holder Matters

(a)  Market Information

The Partnership's outstanding securities consist of 91,647 Units originally
sold for $500 per Unit.  The Units were offered and sold to the public
during the period from September 9, 1986 to September 9, 1987.  No
established public market exists on which the Units may be traded.
Consequently, holders of Units may not be able to liquidate their
investments in the event of an emergency, or for any other reason.
Additionally, the assignment or other transfer of Units would be subject to
compliance with the minimum investment and suitability standards imposed by
the Partnership or by applicable law, including state "Blue Sky" laws.

</TABLE>

During 1993, a substantial portion of the Partnership's working capital
reserves was used to fund leasing costs incurred at the Crossroads Square,
Warner Plaza, Carnegie Center and Marlboro Square properties.  Given this
use of working capital reserves in 1993 as well as the projected level of
future leasing costs and capital expenditures expected to be incurred at
the Partnership's properties, the General Partner reduced cash
distributions to Investors commencing with the November 15, 1993
distribution, from an annualized rate of 6% to an annualized rate of 5%, in
order to replenish working capital reserves and satisfy the Partnership's
general liquidity requirements.  Cash distributions during the year ended
December 31, 1994 continued to reflect this 5% annualized rate.  The
General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will make cash
distributions in 1995 in an amount comparable to that distributed in 1994.
For a further discussion on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Partnership see Item 7 of this Report.

Results of Operations

General
-------
During the offering period from September 9, 1986 to September 9, 1987, the
Partnership sold 91,647 Units representing gross proceeds (exclusive of the
John Hancock Limited Partner's contribution which was used to pay sales
commissions, acquisition fees and organizational and offering expenses) of
$45,823,500.  The proceeds of the offering were used to acquire investment
properties and fund reserves.  These properties are described more fully in
Item 2 and Note 4 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this
Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
At December 31, 1994, the Partnership had $3,124,999 in cash and cash
equivalents, $22,457 in restricted cash and $22,166 in long-term restricted
cash.

The Partnership has established a working capital reserve with a current
balance of approximately 5% of the offering proceeds.  During 1993, a
substantial portion of the Partnership's working capital reserves was used
to fund leasing costs incurred at the Crossroads Square, Warner Plaza,
Carnegie Center and Marlboro Square properties.  Given this use of working
capital reserves in 1993, as well as the projected level of future leasing
costs and capital expenditures expected to be incurred at the Partnership's
properties, the General Partner reduced cash distributions to Investors
commencing with the November 15, 1993 distribution, from an annualized rate
of 6% to an annualized rate of 5%, in order to replenish working capital
reserves and satisfy the Partnership's general liquidity requirements.
Cash distributions during the year ended December 31, 1994 continued to
reflect this 5% annualized rate.  Liquidity would, however, be materially
adversely affected by a significant reduction in revenues, unanticipated
operating costs or unanticipated capital expenditures.  If any or all of
these events were to occur, to the extent that working capital reserves
would be insufficient to satisfy the cash requirements of the Partnership,
it is anticipated that additional funds would be obtained through a further
reduction of cash distributions to Investors, bank loans, short-term loans
from the General Partner or its Affiliates, or the sale or financing of
Partnership properties.

During 1994, cash from working capital reserves was used for the payment of
leasing costs in the amount of $38,920 incurred at the Warner Plaza,
Crossroads Square, Carnegie Center and Marlboro Square properties.  The
General Partner estimates that the Partnership will incur approximately
$900,000 of leasing costs at its properties during 1995.  Of this amount,
approximately $429,000 and $254,000 are expected to be incurred at the
Carnegie Center and 1300 North Dutton Avenue properties, respectively, in
connection with the Partnership's efforts to secure new tenants at these
properties.  The General Partner anticipates that the current balance in
the working capital reserve should be sufficient to pay such costs.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
-------------------------------
During the second quarter of 1994, a tenant occupying 45% of the Carnegie
Center property notified the Partnership of its intention not to renew its
leases.  This tenant had leased 10% of the property on a month-to-month
basis, which it terminated during May 1994, and had leased 35% of the
property under leases which expired in September 1994.  A new tenant has
executed a lease for 14,375 square feet of space, or 11% of the property,
for a three year term which commenced in March 1995.  The Partnership will
incur approximately $76,000 in leasing costs during 1995 in connection with
this lease.  The General Partner is actively seeking additional replacement
tenants for the remaining vacant space.  Should additional replacement
tenants not be located to take occupancy in the near future, the
Partnership's liquidity will be materially adversely affected.  Rental
rates and concessions are priced competitively in order to secure new
tenants for the property.  For the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,
the leases held by this former tenant represented 9% and 11%, respectively,
of the rental income earned by the Partnership.

The tenant that leases all of the rentable space at the 1300 North Dutton
Avenue property notified the Partnership during May 1994 that it would not
renew its lease, which expired on January 31, 1995.  The General Partner
has been actively seeking a replacement tenant for the property.  However,
should a replacement tenant not be located to take occupancy of the
property before the fourth quarter of 1995, the Partnership's liquidity may
be adversely affected.  For the year ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the
1300 North Dutton Avenue property generated approximately 11% and 10%,
respectively, of the rental income earned by the Partnership.

The former anchor tenant at Warner Plaza discontinued operations at the
property and vacated its space during the fourth quarter of 1992.  The
premises which this tenant occupied is owned by a non-affiliate of the
Partnership.  During 1994, the non-affiliated owner secured two replacement
tenants for this space.  One of these tenants took occupancy in April 1994
and the other took occupancy in May 1994.  The vacancy of this space did
not have a significant negative impact on the Partnership's operations.

During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, approximately $86,000
and $93,000, respectively, of cash from operations was used to fund non-
recurring maintenance and repair costs incurred at the Partnership's
properties.  The General Partner estimates that the Partnership will incur
approximately $117,000 of non-recurring maintenance and repair costs at its
properties during 1995.  These costs will be funded from the operations of
the Partnership's properties and are not expected to have a significant
impact on the Partnership's liquidity.

Cash in the amount of $2,314,318 generated from the Partnership's
operations was distributed to the General Partner and the Limited Partners
during 1994.  The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will
make comparable distributions during 1995.  Cash distributions to the
General and Limited Partners are further described in Item 5(c) of this
Report.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
-------------------------------
During the second quarter of 1994, the General Partner had the Crossroads
Square property independently appraised.  Based upon the appraiser's
investigation and analysis, the property's market value was estimated to be
approximately $10,550,000 as compared to the Partnership's cumulative
investment in the property of approximately $14,567,000.  The net book
value of the Crossroads Square property of $9,978,881 at December 31, 1994
was evaluated in comparison to its recent independent appraisal and, based
upon such evaluation, the General Partner determined that no permanent
impairment in value exists and that a write-down in value was not required
as of December 31, 1994.

During the third quarter of 1994, the General Partner had the Warner Plaza
property independently appraised.  Based upon the appraiser's investigation
and analysis, the property's market value was estimated to be approximately
$5,600,000 as compared to the Partnership's cumulative investment in the
property of approximately $7,900,000.  The net book value of the Warner
Plaza property of $5,431,656 at December 31, 1994 was evaluated in
comparison to its recent independent appraisal and, based upon such
evaluation, the General Partner determined that no permanent impairment in
value exists and that a write-down in value was not required as of December
31, 1994.

The decrease in value of these properties relative to their respective
costs of acquisition reflects the fact that the real estate markets in
which these properties are located have weakened since the time of the
Partnership's acquisition of these properties.

The General Partner evaluated the carrying value of the Carnegie Center
property during the third quarter of 1994 by comparing it to future
undiscounted cash flows and a recent internal appraisal in order to
determine whether a permanent impairment in value existed.  Based on such
evaluation, the General Partner determined that a write-down of $512,000
was required at that time to reflect the estimated permanent impairment in
the value of the Carnegie Center property.  Lower rental rates and weak
absorption for available office/industrial properties in Cincinnati, Ohio,
in general, have resulted in a decline in this property's market value.
The net book value of the Carnegie Center property of $5,227,178 at
December 31, 1994 was evaluated in comparison to the estimated future cash
flows and a recent internal appraisal and, based upon such evaluation, the
General Partner determined that no further permanent impairment in value
exists and, therefore, an additional write-down in value was not required
as of December 31, 1994.

The General Partner also evaluated the carrying value of each of the
Partnership's other properties as of December 31, 1994 by comparing it to
the future undiscounted cash flows and the most recent independent or
internal appraisals.  Based on such evaluations, the General Partner
determined that no permanent impairment in values exist with respect to
these properties and no additional write-downs were recorded as of December
31, 1994.  The General Partner will continue to conduct property
valuations, using internal or independent appraisals, in order to determine
whether a permanent impairment in value exists on any of the Partnership's
properties.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $1,497,221 as compared
to $1,684,608 in 1993 and $1,095,594 in 1992.  Included in the results for
1994 and 1992 are property write-downs of $512,000 and $719,000,
respectively.  No write-downs in value were recorded during 1993.

Average occupancy for the Partnership's properties was as follows:

Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased by $99,381, or
3%, as compared to 1993 and decreased by $29,631, or 1%, as compared to
1992.  During 1994 the Crossroads Square Shopping Center and 1300 North
Dutton Avenue properties generated increased rental income, however, these
increases were offset by a decrease in rental income at the Carnegie Center
property.  Rental income from the Crossroads Square property increased in
1994 as compared to both 1993 and 1992 due to an increase in occupancy.
Rental income at the 1300 North Dutton Avenue property increased during
1994 as compared to 1993 and 1992 due to an increase in the sole tenant's
rental rate which became effective during February 1994, in accordance with
the terms of its lease.  These increases in rental income were offset by
decreases in rental income at the Carnegie Center property during 1994 as
compared to both 1993 and 1992 due to decreases in average occupancy.
Rental income from the Marlboro Square property decreased slightly in 1994
as compared to 1993 due to a decrease in occupancy, and increased as
compared to 1992 due to an increase in occupancy.  Rental income from the
Warner Plaza and J.C. Penney properties were consistent between periods.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased by $39,425,
or 55%, and $23,012, or 26%, as compared to 1993 and 1992, respectively.
These increases are primarily due to an increase in the Partnership's
working capital reserves and interest rates earned on such reserves during
1994.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations (continued)
---------------------
Property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased
by $98,197, or 24%, as compared to 1993, and by $104,013, or 25%, as
compared to 1992.  The decrease in 1994 as compared to 1993 and 1992 is
primarily due to decreases in property operating expenses at the Crossroads
Square, 1300 North Dutton Avenue and Warner Plaza properties.  Property
operating expenses decreased at the Crossroads Square property in 1994 as
compared to 1993 and 1992 primarily due to an increase in the average
occupancy at the property and, therefore, an increase in tenant
reimbursements for such expenses.  The tenant occupying the 1300 North
Dutton Avenue property notified the Partnership in May 1994 that it would
not renew its lease upon its expiration date of January 31, 1995 and
proceeded to vacate its space during 1994.  As a result, only minor routine
maintenance expenses were incurred subsequent to the tenant vacating the
space, resulting in a decrease in property operating expenses.  In
addition, property operating expenses decreased in 1994 and 1993 as
compared to 1992 as a result of costs of approximately $72,000 incurred in
1992 to replace the roof at the 1300 North Dutton Avenue property.  Warner
Plaza's property operating expenses decreased in 1994 as compared to both
1993 and 1992 primarily due to a decline in real estate taxes paid on the
property as a result of the applicable taxing authority reducing the
assessed value of the property.  These decreases were partially offset by
an increase in property operating expenses at the Carnegie Center property.
Property operating expenses increased at the Carnegie Center property in
1994 as compared to 1993 and 1992 primarily due to a decrease in average
occupancy at the property and, therefore, a decrease in tenant
reimbursements for such expenses.  Also, property operating expenses
increased at Carnegie Center due to an increase in maintenance and repair
expenses incurred to maintain the property's competitive position in the
market.  These increases in property operating expenses at Carnegie Center
were partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes in 1994 due to a
successful appeal of the assessed value of the property for real estate tax
purposes.

General and administrative expenses in 1994 decreased by $12,864, or 6%, as
compared to 1993, and by $16,366, or 7%, as compared to 1992.  The decrease
in 1994 as compared to 1993 was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees
incurred in connection with Securities and Exchange Commission reporting
requirements.  The decrease in 1994 as compared to 1992 was primarily due
to decreases in audit fees and computer costs.

Amortization of deferred expenses in 1994 decreased by $64,353, or 30%, as
compared to 1993, and by $35,382, or 19%, as compared to 1992.  This
reduction in 1994 from both 1993 and 1992 was primarily due to the full
amortization of a significant portion of such expenses relating to leasing
costs incurred at the Carnegie Center property and the inclusion in
amortization for 1993 of a non-recurring $17,903 write-off of unamortized
leasehold expenses relating to tenants who vacated their space at this
property prior to their lease termination dates.  The decreases in
amortization was partially offset by an increase in the amortization of
deferred expenses relating to leasing costs incurred at the Crossroads
Square property and by the Partnership's reduction during the third quarter
of 1993 in the amortization period for its deferred acquisition costs from
thirty years, the estimated useful life of the buildings owned by the
Partnership, to four and one-half years, the then estimated remaining life
of the Partnership.

Results of Operations (continued)
---------------------
As referred to above, during 1994, the General Partner determined that the
value of the Carnegie Center property had been permanently impaired.  As a
result, the carrying value of the property was reduced by $512,000 and this
amount was charged directly to operations.  During 1992, the carrying value
of the Marlboro Square property was reduced by $719,000.  No property write-
downs were recorded during 1993.

Management fee expense paid to the General Partner during the year ended
December 31, 1994 decreased by $5,162, or 6%, as compared to 1993, and by
$20,915, or 20%, as compared to 1992.  These decreases are due to the
decline in Cash from Operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).
Cash from Operations decreased during 1994 as compared to both 1993 and
1992 as a result of an increase in the amount of funds from the
Partnership's operations used to replenish working capital reserves during
1994.

The General Partner believes that inflation has had no significant impact
on the Partnership's operations during the last three fiscal years, and the
General Partner anticipates that inflation will not have a significant
impact during 1995.

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the

holding more than ten percent of the Units, are required to report their
initial ownership of Units and any subsequent change in such ownership to

To the Partnership's knowledge, no officer or director of the General
Partner has or had an ownership interest in the Partnership at any time
during the 1994 fiscal year or as of the date hereof.  In addition, the

Item 11 - Executive Compensation

None of the officers or directors of the General Partner or any of the Real
Estate Investment Committee members referred to in Item 10(c) receive any
current or proposed direct remuneration in their capacities as officers,
directors or Real Estate Investment Committee members, pursuant to any
standard arrangements or otherwise, from the Partnership nor is any such
remuneration currently proposed.  In addition, the Partnership has not
given and does not propose to give any options, warrants or rights,
including stock appreciation rights, to any such persons in such
capacities.  No long-term incentive plan exists with any such persons in
such capacities and no remuneration plan or arrangement exists with any
such persons resulting from resignation, retirement or any other
termination.  Therefore, tables relating to these topics have been omitted.

For its activities occurring during the offering period, which terminated
on September 9, 1987, the General Partner and/or its Affiliates, as defined
in the Partnership Agreement, received certain acquisition fees and
reimbursement for certain organizational, offering and acquisition
expenses, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partner and/or its Affiliates are entitled to the following types of
compensation, fees, profits/(losses), expense reimbursements and
distributions:

The General Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership Management Fee, as
defined in the Partnership Agreement, for managing the normal operations of
the Partnership in an amount equal to 3.5% of Cash Flow from Operations.
The General Partner was paid a Partnership Management Fee totaling $83,939,
$89,101 and $104,854 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.

An Affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to receive a Property
Management Fee, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, for providing
property management services to the Partnership's properties.  The
Partnership is obligated to pay a fee equal to the amount customarily
charged in arms-length transactions by other entities rendering services in
an area where the Partnership's properties are located, but in no event may
such fees exceed 6% of the gross receipts of any property under management.
To date, no Affiliate of the General Partner has provided property
management services to the Partnership's properties, therefore, the
Partnership did not pay any such fees during the years ended December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992.

The General Partner and its Affiliates are entitled to receive
reimbursement for expenses relating to the administrative services
necessary to the prudent operation of the Partnership, such as legal,
accounting, computer, transfer agent and other services.  The amounts
charged to the Partnership for such administrative services may not exceed
the lesser of the General Partner's or such Affiliates' costs or 90% of
those which the Partnership would be required to pay to independent parties
for comparable services in the same or comparable geographic locations.
The Partnership reimbursed the General Partner for $118,293, $133,054 and
$130,071 of such expenses during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively.

<PAGE>
Item 11 - Executive Compensation (continued)

Upon disposition of any property, the General Partner is entitled to a
Subordinated Disposition Fee, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, in
the amount of 3% of the sales price of each property sold.  However, no
such Subordinated Disposition Fees may be paid to the General Partner
unless and until the Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner have
received a return of their total Invested Capital, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement, plus the Cumulative Return on Investment, as defined
in the Partnership Agreement, of 12% per annum for all fiscal years ended
prior to the date of payment.  Such Subordinated Disposition Fees may not
exceed 50% of the competitive real estate commission in the area where the
property is located or, together with any other brokerage commission
payable to or by any other person, exceed 6% of the contract sales price of
such property.  The Partnership did not consummate the sale of any
properties during 1992, 1993 or 1994.  Accordingly, the Partnership did not
pay any such fees to the General Partner during the years ended December
31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.

A share of the Partnership's Distributable Cash from Operations, as defined
in the Partnership Agreement, may be distributed to the General Partner and
the John Hancock Limited Partner.  Distributable Cash from Operations is
distributable 1% to the General Partner and the remaining 99% among the
Investors, the General Partner and the John Hancock Limited Partner, in
accordance with Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement (as described more
fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this
Report).  The General Partner's Share of Distributable Cash from Operations
was $23,143, $25,458 and $27,772 for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.  In accordance with the Partnership Agreement,
the John Hancock Limited Partner was not entitled to receive any such
distributions during the 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years.

A share of Cash from Sales or Financings, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, is distributed to the General Partner and the John Hancock
Limited Partner is distributable in accordance with Section 8 of the
Partnership Agreement (as described more fully in Note 3 to the Financial
Statements included in Item 8 of this Report).  In accordance with the
terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner and the John
Hancock Limited Partner were not entitled to receive any such distributions
during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.

A share of the Partnership's profits or losses for tax purposes, as defined
in the Partnership Agreement, is allocable to the General Partner and the
John Hancock Limited Partner.  Such allocation generally approximates,
insofar as practicable, their percentage share of Distributable Cash from
Operations and of Cash from Sales or Financings.  The General Partner is
generally allocated 1% of the Partnership's losses for tax purposes, while
the John Hancock Limited Partner is allocated tax losses associated with
the Partnership's sales commissions funded by the John Hancock Limited
Partner's Capital Contributions.  The General Partner's share of such
profits and losses were profits of $21,281, $18,263 and $20,425 during the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The John

                      Report of Independent Auditors



To the Partners
John Hancock Realty Income Fund Limited Partnership

We  have  audited  the accompanying balance sheets of John  Hancock  Realty
Income  Fund Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and  the
related statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for  each
of  the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.  Our audits also
included  the  financial statement schedule listed in  the  index  at  Item
14(a).   These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility  of
the  Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

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

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in  all  material respects, the financial position of John  Hancock  Realty
Income  Fund  Limited Partnership at December 31, 1994 and  1993,  and  the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the  period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting  principles.   Also,  in  our  opinion,  the  related  financial
statement  schedule,  when considered in relation to  the  basic  financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Organization of Partnership
  ---------------------------
     John Hancock Realty Income Fund Limited Partnership (the
     "Partnership") was formed under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
     Partnership Act on June 12, 1986.  As of December 31, 1994, the
     Partnership consisted of John Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the
     "General Partner"), a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John
     Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company; John Hancock Realty Funding,
     Inc. (the "John Hancock Limited Partner"); and 4,201 Investor Limited
     Partners (the "Investors"), owning 91,647 Units of Investor Limited
     Partnership Interests (the "Units").  The John Hancock Limited Partner
     and the Investors are collectively referred to as the Limited
     Partners.  The initial capital of the Partnership was $2,000,
     representing capital contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner
     and $1,000 from the John Hancock Limited Partner.  The Amended
     Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
     Agreement") authorized the issuance of up to 100,000 Units of Limited
     Partnership Interests at $500 per unit.  During the offering period,
     which terminated on September 9, 1987, 91,647 Units were sold and the
     John Hancock Limited Partner made additional capital contributions of
     $7,330,760.  There have been no changes in the number of Units
     outstanding subsequent to the termination of the offering period.  The
     Partnership is engaged in the business of acquiring, improving,
     operating, holding for investment and disposing of existing, income-
     producing, commercial and industrial properties on an all-cash basis,
     free and clear of mortgage indebtedness.  Although the Partnership's
     properties were acquired and are held free and clear of mortgage
     indebtedness, the Partnership may incur mortgage indebtedness on its
     properties under certain circumstances, as described in the
     Partnership Agreement.

     The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is
     December 31, 2016, unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with
     the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  It is expected that in the
     ordinary course of the Partnership's business, the properties of the
     Partnership will be disposed of, and the Partnership terminated,
     before December 31, 2016.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies
  -------------------------------
     The Partnership maintains its accounting records and recognizes rental
     revenue on the accrual basis.

     Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of
     three months or less when purchased.  These investments are recorded
     at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
     Restricted cash represents funds restricted for tenant security
     deposits and other escrows, and has been designated as short or long-
     term based upon the term of the related lease agreement.

     Investments in property are recorded at cost less any property write-
     downs for permanent impairment in values.  Cost includes the initial
     purchase price of the property plus acquisition and legal fees, other
     miscellaneous acquisition costs, and the cost of significant
     improvements.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
  -------------------------------
     Depreciation has been provided on a straight-line basis over the
     estimated useful lives of the various assets:  thirty years for the
     buildings and five years for related improvements.  Maintenance and
     repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

     Deferred expenses relating to tenant improvements and lease
     commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the various
     lease terms.  During 1993, the Partnership reduced the period over
     which its remaining deferred acquisition fees are amortized from
     thirty years, the estimated useful life of the buildings owned by the
     Partnership, to four and one-half years, the then estimated remaining
     life of the Partnership.

     The net income per Unit for each year is computed by dividing the
     Investors' share of net income by the number of Units outstanding at
     the end of each year.

     No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial
     statements since such taxes are the responsibility of the individual
     partners and not of the Partnership.

     Certain 1993 and 1992 amounts have been reclassified to be consistent
     with the 1994 presentation.

3.   The Partnership Agreement
  -------------------------
     Distributable Cash from Operations, as defined in the Partnership
     Agreement, is distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
     General Partner.  The Limited Partners' share of Distributable Cash
     from Operations is distributed as follows:  first, to the Investors
     until they receive a 7% non-cumulative, non-compounded annual cash
     return on their Invested Capital, as defined in the Partnership
     Agreement; second, to the John Hancock Limited Partner until it
     receives a 7% non-cumulative, non-compounded annual cash return on its
     Invested Capital; and third, to the Investors and the John Hancock
     Limited Partner in proportion to their respective Capital
     Contributions, as defined in the Partnership Agreement.  However, any
     Distributable Cash from Operations which is available as a result of
     the reduction of working capital reserves funded by Capital
     Contributions of the Investors will be distributed 100% to the
     Investors.

3.   The Partnership Agreement (continued)
  -------------------------
     Profits for tax purposes from the normal operations of the Partnership
     for each fiscal year are allocated to the Limited Partners and General
     Partner in the same amounts as Distributable Cash from Operations for
     that year.  If such profits are less than Distributable Cash from
     Operations for any year, they are allocated in proportion to the
     amounts of Distributable Cash from Operations for that year.  If such
     profits are greater than Distributable Cash from Operations for any
     year, they are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
     General Partner, with the allocation made between the John Hancock
     Limited Partner and the Investors in proportion to their respective
     Capital Contributions.  Losses for tax purposes from the normal
     operations of the Partnership are allocated 99% to the Limited
     Partners and 1% to the General Partner, with the allocation made
     between the John Hancock Limited Partner and the Investors in
     proportion to their respective Capital Contributions.  However, tax
     deductions arising from the Initial Expenses, as defined in the
     Partnership Agreement, which are paid by the Partnership from the
     Capital Contributions made by the John Hancock Limited Partner and all
     other tax aspects of the Partnership's payment of the Initial
     Expenses, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, are allocated 1% to
     the General Partner and 99% to the John Hancock Limited Partner, and
     not to the Investors.  Depreciation deductions are allocated 1% to the
     General Partner and 99% to the Investors, and not to the John Hancock
     Limited Partner.

     The net realizable value of a real estate investment held for long-
     term investment purposes is measured by the recoverability of the
     investment through expected future cash flows on an undiscounted
     basis, which may exceed the properties current market value.
