             and December 31, 1998

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

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As  of  March 31, 1999, Registrant  had  cash  of
$600,951.  The  Registrant  expects  that  the  funds  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  March 31, 1999, Registrant had restricted
cash  of  $20,541  consisting primarily  of  funds  held  as  security
deposits 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

                     Any  capital  expenditures needed  are  generally
replacement  items  and are funded out of cash from  operations.   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  first  quarter of  1999,  Registrant
incurred  a  loss  of  $26,372 ($3.15 per  limited  partnership  unit)
compared to income of $18,285 ($2.19 per limited partnership unit) for
the same period in 1998.

                    Rental income increased $2,656 from $45,742 in the
first  quarter  of 1998 to $48,398 in the same period  in  1999.   The
increase  in  rental  income is the result of an increase  in  average
rental rates at Brass Works.
                     Interest income decreased $20,740 from $24,352 in
the  first  quarter 1998 to $3,612 in the same period  in  1999.   The
decrease  is the result of a decrease in the amount of available  cash
which generated the interest income.

                     Expense for rental operations decreased by $2,607
from  $40,271  in  the first quarter of 1998 to $37,664  in  the  same
period  in  1999.  The decrease is mainly the result of a decrease  in
expenses  incurred  in connection with the 1998  distribution  to  the
limited  partners.  In addition, at Locke Mill, there was an  increase
in  wages  and  salaries  expense due  to  cost  of  living  increases
partially  offset by a decrease in the maintenance expense  due  to  a
lower turnover of apartment units.

                      Losses  incurred  during  the  quarter  at   the
Registrant's two properties amounted to $4,000, compared to income  of
approximately $6,000 for the same period in 1998.

                     In the first quarter of 1999, Registrant incurred
a loss of $5,000 at the Brass Works, including $12,000 of depreciation
expense,   compared  to  a  loss  of  $7,000  including   $12,000   of
depreciation  expense in the first quarter of 1998.  The  decrease  in
the  loss from the first quarter of 1998 to the first quarter of  1999
is  due  to  an  increase in rental income due to an increase  in  the
average rental rates.

                      In   the   first  quarter  of  1999,  Registrant
recognized income of $1,000 at the Locke Mill Plaza, including  $7,000
of depreciation expense, compared to income of $1,000 including $7,000
of  depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1998.  Although there
was  no overall change in income from the first quarter of 1998 to the
same  period  in  1999, there was an increase in  wages  and  salaries
expense due to cost of living increases partially offset by a decrease
in maintenance expense due to a lower turnover of apartment units.
