Item 1.        Financial Statements.

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

               (1)  Liquidity

                      As   of  June  30,  1997,  Registrant  had  total
unrestricted cash of $527,354. Such funds are expected to  be  used  to
pay  liabilities  of  Registrant.   The  Registrant  expects  that  the
$527,354 plus the cash generated from operations at each property  will
be  sufficient  to fund the operating expenses of the properties.   The
Registrant is not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.

                    As of June 30, 1997, Registrant had restricted cash
of  $69,785  consisting primarily of funds held as  security  deposits,
replacement  reserves  and  escrows for  taxes  and  insurance.   As  a
consequence  of the restrictions as to use, Registrant  does  not  deem
these funds to be a source of liquidity.

               (2)  Capital Resources

                    Due to the relatively recent rehabilitations of the
properties,  any capital expenditures needed are generally  replacement
items  and  are  funded  out  of cash from  operations  or  replacement
reserves,  if  any.  The Registrant is not aware of any  factors  which
would  cause historical capital expenditure levels not to be indicative
of capital requirements in the future and accordingly, does not believe
that  it  will have to commit material resources to capital  investment
for the foreseeable future.

               (3)  Results of Operations

                     During  the  second  quarter of  1997,  Registrant
incurred  a loss of $5,050 ($.60 per limited partnership unit) compared
to  a  loss of $9,206 ($1.10 per limited partnership unit) for the same
period  in  1996.   For  the first six months of 1997,  the  Registrant
recognized  income  of  $3,980  ($.48  per  limited  partnership  unit)
compared  to a loss of $3,214 ($.38 per limited partnership  unit)  for
the same period in 1996.

                    Rental income decreased $11,690 from $53,863 in the
second  quarter  of  1996 to $42,173 in the same  period  in  1997  and
decreased  $34,961  from  $119,345 for the first  six  months  1996  to
$84,384 in the same period in 1997.  The decrease in rental income  for
the  second  quarter  and the first six months of 1997  from  the  same
periods  in  1996  is  the result of a decrease  in  rental  income  at
Henderson due to the sale of units, partially offset by an increase  at
the  Brass  Works due to an increase in the average rental rates.   The
decrease in rental income for the second quarter of 1997 from the  same
period  in  1996  is  also  the result of a  decrease  in  the  average
occupancy (98% to 79%) at Locke Mill.

                     Interest income increased $27,451 from $33,120  in
the  second quarter of 1996 to $60,571 in the same period in  1997  and
increased  $32,254  from $88,770 for the first six months  of  1996  to
$121,024 in the same period in 1997.  The increase for both the  second
quarter and the first six months of 1997 from the same periods in  1996
is  the  result  of an increase in interest earned on notes  receivable
resulting from the sale of units at the Henderson.

                     Expense for rental operations decreased by $48,496
from  $106,836  in the second quarter of 1996 to $58,340  in  the  same
period  in 1997.  The decrease for the second quarter of 1997 from  the
same period in 1996 is the result of a decrease at Henderson due to the
sale  of units combined with a decrease in commissions expense at Brass
Works due to lower turnover of apartment units.

                     Expense for rental operations decreased by $94,056
from  $196,576 for the first six months of 1996 to $102,520 in the same
period in 1997.  The decrease for the first six months of 1997 from the
same period in 1996 is the result of a decrease at Henderson due to the
sale  of units combined with a decrease in commissions expense at Brass
Works due to lower turnover of apartment units, partially offset  by  a
slight overall increase in operating expenses at Locke Mill.

                     Expense  for general and administrative  decreased
$20,000 from $74,000 for the first six months of 1996 to $54,000 in the
same  period  in 1997.  The decrease is due to fees paid in  the  first
quarter of 1996 to reimburse the General Partner for certain goods  and
services rendered which did not recur in 1997.

                     Depreciation  and  amortization expense  decreased
$11,830  from $34,284 in the second quarter of 1996 to $22,454  in  the
same  period in 1997 and decreased $26,597 from $71,505 for  the  first
six months of 1996 to $44,908 in the same period in 1997.  The decrease
for  the second quarter and the first six months of 1997 from the  same
periods in 1996 is due to the sale of units at the Henderson Apartments
resulting in a lower balance on which depreciation is calculated.

                      Income  recognized  during  the  quarter  at  the
Registrant's three properties amounted to $26,000, compared  to  income
of  approximately  $22,000 for the same period in  1996.   Included  in
income  in  the second quarter of 1996 is a gain of $72,000 related  to
the  sale of units at the Henderson.  For the first six months of 1997,
the  Registrant recognized income of $68,000 compared to  approximately
$60,000  for the same period in 1996.  Included in income in the  first
six  months of 1996 is a gain of $131,000 related to the sale of  units
at the Henderson.

                      In   the   second  quarter  of  1997,  Registrant
recognized  income of $22,000 at The Henderson Apartments  compared  to
income  of $22,000 in the second quarter of 1996, including $12,000  of
depreciation expense.  Included in income in the second quarter of 1996
is  a gain of $72,000 related to the sale of Units.  Overall, exclusive
of  the gain resulting from the sale of Units, the property would  have
recognized  a loss of $50,000 in the second quarter of 1996.   For  the
first  six  months  of 1997, Registrant recognized income  of  $70,000,
including $0 of depreciation expense compared to income of $73,000  for
the  same  period  of 1996, including $27,000 of depreciation  expense.
Included  in  income for the first six months of  1996  is  a  gain  of
$131,000 related to the sale of Units.  Overall, exclusive of the  gain
resulting from the sale of Units, the property would have recognized  a
loss  of  $58,000  for the first six months of 1996.  The  increase  in
income  is  a  result of an increase in interest earned  on  the  notes
receivable and a decrease in operating expenses and marketing  expenses
partially  offset by a decrease in rental income due to the  fact  that
all of the Units were sold in 1996.

                      In   the   second  quarter  of  1997,  Registrant
recognized  income of $6,000 at the Brass Works, including  $12,000  of
depreciation expense, compared to income of $1,000 including $12,000 of
depreciation  expense in the second quarter of 1996 and for  the  first
six  months  of  1997, Registrant incurred a loss of  $1,000  including
$24,000 of depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $11,000 for  the
same  period  in 1996, including $24,000 of depreciation expense.   The
increases for the second quarter and the first six months of 1997  from
the same periods in 1996 is due to an increase in rental income due  to
an  increase  in the average rental rates and a decrease in commissions
expense due to lower turnover of the apartment units.

                     In the second quarter of 1997, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of  $2,000  at  the  Locke Mill  Plaza,  including  $6,000  of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $1,000 including $6,000  of
depreciation  expense in the second quarter of 1996.  The  increase  in
the loss for the second quarter of 1997 from the same period in 1996 is
the  result  of  a decrease in rental income due to a decrease  in  the
average occupancy (98% to 79%).

                     For  the  first  six  months of  1997,  Registrant
incurred a loss of $1,000 at the Locke Mill Plaza including $13,000  of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $2,000 for the same  period
in  1996,  including $13,000 of depreciation expense.  The decrease  in
the  loss for the first six months in 1997 from the same period in 1996
is the result of a overall decrease in operating expenses.
