      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The Partnership

Dean Witter Realty Yield Plus, L.P. (the "Partnership")
is  a  limited partnership organized under the laws  of
the  State  of Delaware in 1987.  The Managing  General
Partner of the Partnership is Dean Witter Realty  Yield
Plus  Inc., which is wholly-owned by Dean Witter Realty
Inc. ("Realty").

The  financial statements include the accounts  of  the
Partnership,   DW  Columbia  Gateway   Associates,   DW
Michelson Associates, DW Lakeshore Associates, Deptford
Crossing  Associates,  DW  Community  Centers   Limited
Partnership  and  DW Maplewood Inc. on  a  consolidated
basis.   All  significant  intercompany  accounts   and
transactions have been eliminated.

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual
basis  of  accounting for financial reporting  and  tax
purposes.

Net  income  (loss) per Unit amounts are calculated  by
dividing   net  income  (loss)  allocated  to   Limited
Partners, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement,
by the weighted average number of Units outstanding.

In   the   opinion  of  management,  the   accompanying
financial  statements,  which have  not  been  audited,
include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
results  for the interim periods.  Except for  reserves
of  uncollected interest relating to the  participating
mortgage loan, such adjustments consist only of  normal
recurring accruals.

These   financial   statements  should   be   read   in
conjunction  with the annual financial  statements  and
notes  thereto  included  in the  Partnership's  annual
report  on  Form  10-K filed with  the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission for the year  ended  December  31,
1996.  Operating results of interim periods may not  be
indicative  of  the operating results  for  the  entire
year.

          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.
                           
      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The   Financial  Accounting  Standards   Board   issued
Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards  No.  128,
"Earnings   per   Share"  in   February   1997.    This
pronouncement  establishes standards for computing  and
presenting earnings per share, and is effective for the
Partnership's 1997 year-end financial statements.   The
Partnership's  management  has  determined  that   this
standard  will  have  no impact  on  the  Partnership's
computation  or presentation of net income  (loss)  per
unit of limited partnership interest.

2. Real Estate

The  Partnership's mortgage note payable secured by the
Genessee Crossing shopping center matured in May  1997.
The  Partnership was unable to refinance the loan.  The
lender has commenced foreclosure proceedings and  title
to  the property is expected to transfer in mid-August.
Since  the  net book value of the property ($8,163,416)
is  less  than  the mortgage note payable ($8,590,000),
the  Partnership's income from forgiveness of the  note
will exceed its loss from foreclosure of real estate.

3. Investment in Participating Mortgage Loan

The  owner/borrower on the participating mortgage  loan
is  operating  under Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy
code.   During the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the
owner/borrower  paid  to  the Partnership  $174,940  of
$1,370,236   total  interest  due.    The   Partnership
reserved the remaining accrued but unpaid interest.  As
of  June  30,  1997, the Partnership's  total  reserves
against   accrued   but  unpaid  interest   approximate
$1,852,000.   The  ultimate outcome of  the  bankruptcy
proceedings is uncertain at this time.

      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

4. Related Party Transactions

Realty  and  an  affiliate of Realty provided  property
management  services  for  four  of  the  Partnership's
properties  at June 30, 1997 and 1996.  The Partnership
paid  Realty  and  its  affiliate  management  fees  of
approximately $120,000 and $112,000 for the six  months
ended  June  30,  1997  and 1996, respectively.   These
amounts are included in property operating expenses.

Realty  performs  administrative  functions,  processes
certain   investor   transactions  and   prepares   tax
information  for  the Partnership.  For  the  six-month
periods  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the  Partnership
incurred    approximately   $198,000   and    $193,000,
respectively,  for these services.  These  amounts  are
included in general and administrative expenses.

As of June 30, 1997, Realty and its affiliate were owed
a   total  of  approximately  $53,000  for  the  above-
mentioned services.

5. Litigation

Various   public  partnerships  sponsored   by   Realty
(including  the  Partnership and its  Managing  General
Partner)  are  defendants  in  purported  class  action
lawsuits  pending  in  state  and  federal  court.  The
complaints allege a number of claims, including  breach
of  fiduciary  duty,  fraud and misrepresentation,  and
seek  an accounting of profits, compensatory and  other
damages  in an unspecified amount, possible liquidation
of  the Partnership under a receiver's supervision  and
other  equitable relief.  The defendants are vigorously
defending  these actions.  It is impossible to  predict
the  effect, if any, the outcome of these actions might
have on the Partnership's financial statements.

6. Subsequent Cash Distributions

On   July  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  paid  a   cash
distribution of $.13 per Unit to Limited Partners.  The
cash distribution aggregated $1,286,996 with $1,158,296
distributed   to   Limited   Partners   and    $128,700
distributed to the General Partners.

ITEM 2.                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership raised $178,199,380 through  a  public
offering which terminated in 1987.  The Partnership has
no plans to raise additional capital.

The  Partnership originally invested in seven loans  or
land  leases. Due to the past weakness in  real  estate
markets,  most  of  the  properties  did  not  generate
sufficient cash flow to fully service their debt.  As a
result,  prior  to December 31, 1994,  the  Partnership
acquired  all  but one of the properties  in  which  it
originally  invested.   No additional  investments  are
planned.

The economic expansion continues and has provided for a
rebound in the commercial property markets.  Employment
growth,  especially in business services and technology
industries, has increased demand for office space.  The
steady  demand  and the limited amount  of  speculative
office  construction has resulted in falling vacancies,
rising  rents  and increasing property values  in  many
markets.   Some office markets are faring  better  than
others   and,   in   certain  areas,  improved   market
conditions  can  support new construction.   Currently,
the  demand for large blocks of available office  space
in  the  downtown  financial  markets  of  Boston  (the
location  of One Congress Street) exceeds supply.   The
relative  absence of office construction and growth  in
demand  from  professional service firms  has  recently
resulted  in  an  absorption of  office  space  and  an
increase  in rental rates in the class A office  market
in  Orange  County, CA (the location of 2600  Michelson
Drive).    Vacancies   at  many   office/research   and
development  properties, such as Greenway  Pointe,  are
declining  as  communications,  computer  and  software
companies  demand  additional  space.   In  the  retail
sector,   a  changing  tenant  base  (caused   by   the
domination of certain power center tenants coupled with
bankruptcies and major restructuring of other tenants),
past  overbuilding  in the retail  market  and  reduced
consumer spending is resulting in higher vacancies  and
stagnant rents.
          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

As  disclosed  in Note 2 to the consolidated  financial
statements, the mortgage note payable relating  to  the
Genesee  Crossing retail center is past  due,  and  the
lender  has commenced foreclosure proceedings  to  take
control  of  the property. During the three-  and  six-
month  periods  ended June 30, 1997,  Partnership  cash
flow   from   the   Genessee  Crossing   property   was
approximately $120,000 and $200,000, respectively.

The  Partnership's note payable secured by the Deptford
Crossing    shopping    center,    for    approximately
$11,002,000, matures in September 1997.  The lender has
refused  to  discuss refinancing of the note  with  the
Partnership.   The  Partnership is currently  marketing
the Deptford property for sale to determine whether  it
can  sell  the property for an amount greater than  the
principal  of  the  mortgage  note  payable.   If   the
Partnership is unable to sell the property or refinance
the loan, the Partnership may lose the property through
foreclosure.   During the three- and six-month  periods
ended  June  30, 1997, Partnership cash flow  from  the
Deptford  Crossing  property was approximately  $65,000
and $187,000, respectively.

The Managing General Partner has identified a potential
purchaser of the 2600 Michelson Drive property and  has
begun  to  negotiate  a sale agreement.   The  Managing
General  Partner  is currently marketing  the  Greenway
Pointe  property for sale, and expects  to  market  for
sale its remaining investments over the next two years.
However,  there  is no assurance that  the  Partnership
will be able to sell its property interests in the near
future.

The  Partnership's liquidity depends upon the cash flow
from   operations  of  its  real  estate   investments,
interest  received on its participating  mortgage  loan
and  expenditures for building improvements and  tenant
improvements and leasing commissions in connection with
the  leasing of space.  During the three- and six-month
periods  ended  June 30, 1997, all of the Partnership's
properties,   except  for  401  East  Ontario   Street,
generated positive cash flow from operations, and it is
anticipated that they will continue to do so during the
remainder  of  1997.  Significant repair costs  at  401
East  Ontario Street caused property operating expenses

          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

there to exceed rental income by approximately $408,000
and  $988,000 in the three- and six-month periods ended
June   30,   1997.  Also,  as  described   below,   the
owner/borrower on the One Congress Street  property  is
in  Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and did  not  pay
approximately  $546,000 and $1,195,000 of  its  minimum
debt  service to the Partnership in the three- and six-
month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively.

The  Partnership's  liquidity also has  been  and  will
continue   to   be  affected  by  the  disposition   of
Partnership properties; as properties are disposed  of,
Partnership  cash  from operations  available  to  fund
investor   distributions   and   capital   expenditures
decreases.

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,   the
Partnership  incurred approximately  $639,000  (net  of
contributions  by the minority interest) primarily  for
tenant-related capital expenditures at Greenway  Pointe
(approximately  $320,000)  and  2600  Michelson   Drive
(approximately $168,000); no other individual  property
accounted  for  a significant portion of the  remaining
expenditures.

Also,  in  1997, the Partnership incurred approximately
$1.0  million and $2.0 million for repairs on the  fire
and  life safety systems at 401 East Ontario Street  in
the  three- and six-month periods ended June 30,  1997;
the total repair costs are expected to be approximately
$3.9  million, of which approximately $2.9 million  has
been  incurred to date.  The Partnership also  incurred
approximately  $145,000  of  legal  costs  in  1997  in
connection  with its lawsuits to recover its  costs  to
repair the concrete exterior walls (completed 1996) and
the  fire  and  life safety systems.   The  Partnership
expects to complete the repairs in 1997.

As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership has commitments to
contribute approximately $468,000, primarily for lease-
related capital expenditures at the Michelson property.

          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

The   Partnership's  participating  mortgage  loan   is
secured  by  the  One  Congress Street  property.   The
General  Services  Administration  ("GSA"),  the   sole
tenant  of  the  office space at the property,  vacated
approximately  30%  of the space  at  the  property  in
August  1996,  and  the lease on  its  remaining  space
expired  July  31,  1997.  On  October  15,  1996,  the
owner/borrower filed a voluntary petition under Chapter
11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code.

The cash flow generated from the lease of the garage at
the  One  Congress Street property is projected  to  be
sufficient to pay the debt service due under the  first
mortgage loan on the property.  However, current market
rental  rates in Boston are significantly less than  in
the  early 1990's when the GSA lease was entered  into.
Therefore, the Partnership believes that the rent to be
received  by  the owner/borrower after  re-leasing  the
office  space  at the property and, as  a  result,  the
Partnership's   cash  flow  from  the   property,   may
significantly  decrease. GSA continues  to  occupy  its
remaining  office space, and GSA and the owner/borrower
are  negotiating a new lease. If the negotiations  with
GSA  are  not  successful, there may be  a  significant
amount  of time before a new tenant is found  for  this
space,  and  substantial funds may be required  to  re-
lease the space.

The  Partnership believes that during the period of the
bankruptcy it will be unable to collect its interest on
the  loan in full and that the bankruptcy may adversely
impact future leasing at the property.

During  the  six  months ended June 30, 1997,  interest
from the participating mortgage loan and cash flow from
operations  of  real  estate  owned  (net  of  minority
interest  share), except for repair costs at  401  East
Ontario  Street, exceeded distributions  to  investors.
The  Partnership  funded the repair costs  and  capital
expenditures  from cash flow from operations  and  cash
reserves.   The  Partnership  expects  this  trend   to
continue during the remainder of 1997.


          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

The  Partnership can not determine the extent to  which
cash flow from the One Congress Street property and the
properties subject to mortgages maturing in  1997  will
be  reduced  during  the  remainder  of  1997.   It  is
possible  that  the cash flow from One Congress  Street
along  with Partnership cash flow from operations  will
continue  to  be insufficient to fund Partnership  cash
needs.   If  this  were to occur, the Partnership  will
continue to use its cash reserves to fund a portion  of
its  cash  requirements and might need to  reduce  cash
distributions.

Other assets decreased during the six months ended June
30,  1997  due to the collection of tenant  receivables
and  the amortization of prepaid real estate taxes  and
insurance.

Except  as  discussed  above and  in  the  consolidated
financial  statements, the Managing General Partner  is
not  aware  of  any  trends or events,  commitments  or
uncertainties  that  may  have  a  material  impact  on
liquidity.

On   July  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  paid  a   cash
distribution of $.13 per Unit to Limited Partners.  The
cash distribution aggregated $1,286,996 with $1,158,296
distributed   to   Limited   Partners   and    $128,700
distributed to the General Partners.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for
the  three- and six-month periods ended June  30,  1997
compared  to  1996  are primarily attributable  to  the
following:

Interest  on the participating mortgage loan  decreased
in 1997 compared to 1996 due to reserves to accrued but
uncollected  interest as described above in  "Liquidity
and Capital Resources".

Property  operating expenses decreased in 1997 compared
to  1996  primarily as a result of higher  expenditures
for  repairs and related litigation at 401 East Ontario
Street during 1996.  During

          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

the  three- and six-month periods ended June 30,  1997,
the  total repair costs were $1,128,000 and $2,185,000,
respectively;  during the three- and six-month  periods
ended  June  30, 1996, these costs were $1,668,000  and
$2,305,000, respectively.

Interest income on short-term investments decreased  in
1997  compared to 1996 because the Partnership had less
cash   available   for  investment  because   it   used
significant  amounts  of  cash  reserves  to  fund  the
repairs  at  the 401 East Ontario Street  property  and
capital  expenditures.  Also, during the first  quarter
of  1996, the Partnership earned interest on cash  from
the  December 1995 sale of three shopping centers until
such  cash  was  distributed  to  Limited  Partners  in
January 1996.

There  were  no other individually significant  factors
which caused changes to revenues or expenses.

A  summary  of  the  office,  retail,  residential  and
research  and  development building markets  where  the
Partnership's   properties   are   located,   and   the
performance of each property is as follows:

During the second quarter of 1997, the vacancy rate  in
the  research  and development market of Columbia,  MD,
the location of Greenway Pointe, slightly decreased  to
6%.   Also, rental rates are increasing in this market,
and  there is no significant new construction.   During
the  second quarter of 1997, occupancy at the  property
increased  to  100%  as Green Springs  Health  Services
Inc.,   an   existing   tenant   which   now   occupies
approximately 37% of the property's space,  moved  into
the  building's  remaining vacant space.  Other  leases
totaling  31% of the property's space are scheduled  to
expire in 1998.

The  luxury  residential  sub-market  in  Chicago,  IL,
location of the 401 East Ontario property, continues to
be strong.  It has a current vacancy rate less than 4%,
and  rental  rates  are increasing. During  the  second
quarter  of  1997, occupancy at the property  decreased
slightly to 80%.  Occupancy at the property has been
          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

adversely  affected  by  the  repair  programs  at  the
property.   The  Partnership expects  that  the  above-
described  repairs on the fire and life systems  (which
began  during  the  third  quarter  of  1996)  will  be
intrusive upon residents as work will be needed  to  be
performed  inside  each rental unit for  up  to  twelve
days.  To maximize tenant retention while these repairs
are  being  performed, the Partnership has abated  each
tenant's  rent  while  work is being  performed  inside
their  unit  and granted concessions to  tenants  while
repairs are done to corridors on the floor they occupy.
The effect, if any, of this repair program on rents and
occupancy  in the future cannot be determined  at  this
time.    Also,  in  1997,  rental  rates  for   certain
apartment  types  at the property have  been  increased
over 3%.

During  the second quarter of 1997, the market  vacancy
rate  for  Class A office space in Irvine,  California,
the  location of 2600 Michelson Drive, remained at 15%.
Rental  rates have continued to increase in this market
because  of  the  continued strong demand  for  quality
Class A space and lack of significant new construction.
During  the  second quarter of 1997, occupancy  at  the
property   decreased  slightly  to   91%.   Leases   on
approximately 25% and 17% of the space at the  property
expire in 1998 and 1999, respectively.

During  the six months ended June 30, 1997, the  Boston
office  market,  the location of One  Congress  Street,
continued to strengthen and rental rates increased.  As
discussed  above, GSA is the sole tenant of the  office
space,  which  is 70% occupied at June 30,  1997.   The
owner/borrower  is  negotiating a new  lease  with  GSA
because  GSA's  existing lease expired July  31,  1997.
GSA  still occupies its space while it negotiates a new
lease.   Also,  the  retail  space,  which  is  not   a
significant  portion  of  the overall  space,  remained
substantially vacant at June 30, 1997.

During the second quarter of 1997, the vacancy rate  in
the retail market in Deptford, New Jersey, the location
of  Deptford Crossing, decreased to 5%.  There are  two
retail  developments which opened in the second quarter
of   1997  and  two  retail  developments  planned  for
construction  in the near future.  This space  will  be
occupied

          DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

competition  to  Deptford Crossing's existing  tenants,
and anticipates that these new centers will benefit the
tenants  at Deptford Crossing because the new retailers
will  increase consumer traffic in the Deptford market.
During  the  second quarter of 1997, occupancy  at  the
property  remained  at  77%. No significant  amount  of
leases expire before 2001.

The  vacancy  rate in Flint, Michigan, the location  of
the Genesee Crossing shopping center, currently is 10%.
Occupancy  at the property during the six months  ended
June  30,  1997 remained at 99%; however, a  tenant  in
bankruptcy,  which  leases  approximately  7%  of   the
property's space, will vacate its space in August 1997.
The   lease   of  the  Burlington  Coat  Factory,   for
approximately 42% of the property's space, is scheduled
to  expire in 2009.  Burlington has a "kick-out" option
to terminate the lease at any time if sales are below a
threshold  amount;  sales  are  currently  below   this
threshold, but Burlington has not indicated an interest
in  vacating  its  space early.  Other leases  totaling
approximately 14% of the property's space are scheduled
to expire in 1999.

Inflation

Inflation has been consistently low during the  periods
presented in the financial statements and, as a result,
has  not had a significant effect on the operations  of
the Partnership or its properties.
