Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
         ------------------------------------

Purchase of Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates Manufactured Home
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Communities
- -----------

On February 20, 1997, Windsor Real Estate Investment Trust 8 (the Trust)
purchased an 11% interest in the Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates
manufactured home communities (the Communities) located in Apache Junction,
Arizona. The remaining interests in the Communities were acquired by affiliated
entities. The Communities are in good condition, and the Trust intends to hold
them as a medium-term (four to six year) investment. During the investment
period the Trust intends to continue to operate the Communities as manufactured
home communities.

Apache East Estates is situated on approximately 16 acres of land and was
developed around 1982.  The community contains 123 manufactured home spaces, and
amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool and spa.  Denali Park Estates is
situated on approximately 33 acres of land and was developed around 1979.  The
community contains 162 manufactured home spaces, and amenities include a
clubhouse, swimming pool and spa.  All assets acquired will continue to be used
in the operations of the Communities.  The Advisors of the Trust anticipate
expending $15,000 for various capital improvement and maintenance projects at
the Communities over the next 12 months.  It is the opinion of the Advisors that
the Communities are adequately insured.

The total cost of the Communities was approximately $5,183,000 ($5,150,000 paid
to the sellers and other costs of $33,000).  The Trust's cost of its interest in
the Communities was approximately $570,100 ($566,500 paid to the sellers and
other costs of $3,600).  The purchase prices were negotiated through arms-length
bargaining processes with the sellers.  Apache East Estates was acquired from
Apache East Estates M.H.P., an Arizona general partnership and Denali Park
Estates was acquired from Denali Park Estates M.H.P., an Arizona general
partnership.  The registrant's Advisor is not affiliated with the sellers of the
Communities.

In connection with the purchase, the Trust and the affiliated buyers of the
Communities obtained a $3,040,000 mortgage loan.  The loan, which is
collateralized by the Communities, initially bears interest at a fixed rate of
8.375%.  In March 2000 and March 2003, the interest rate adjusts to the yield on
the three year Treasury Note plus 2.2%.  The loan is due in March 2006.  Loan
costs of approximately $95,000 were incurred.

The Communities' manufactured home spaces are rented to tenants on a month-to-
month basis, and current base rental rates average $209 per month.  The
Communities are located near several other manufactured home communities with
comparable base rental rates.

The Communities are currently 73% occupied and have been approximately 70%
occupied for the past three years.  Other manufactured home communities in the
immediate area are approximately 97% occupied.

Other material factors considered by the Advisors in assessing the Communities
include ad valorem taxes for the 1996 tax year which totaled $39,600 ($17.63 per
$1,000 full cash value) and utility rates which are expected to increase 4% per
year.

The sources of funds for this acquisition were proceeds from the sale of the
Griffwood manufactured home community and the mortgage loan obtained as
described above.

After reasonable inquiry, the Trust is not aware of any material factors related
to the Communities, other than as set forth in this Form 8-K/A, that would cause
the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future
operating results.

Sale of Griffwood Manufactured Home Community
- ---------------------------------------------

On April 14, 1997 the Trust sold the Griffwood manufactured home community
(Griffwood), located in Leesburg, Florida.  Griffwood was originally acquired in
October 1993 at a total purchase price of $2,012,400, including acquisition fees
and other costs.  Griffwood contains 117 manufactured home spaces.

Griffwood was sold for approximately $1,883,900 (net of selling and closing
costs of $52,300 and a $60,800 real estate commission paid to an unrelated third
party).  The sales price was arrived at through an arms-length bargaining
process with the purchaser, Griffwood Co-Op Inc., (the Co-Op), a Florida not-
for-profit corporation which was formed by the residents of the community for
the purpose of purchasing Griffwood.  The registrant's Advisor is not affiliated
with the purchaser of the community.

In connection with the sale, $188,000 of sales proceeds were retained by the Co-
Op.  These proceeds will be remitted to the Trust as additional shares of the
Co-Op are sold.  The proceeds are non-interest bearing and are due no later than
April 2002.

The Trust has adopted the cost recovery method to account for the sale.
Accordingly, an accounting gain on sale of $110,200 has been deferred pending
the receipt of additional sales proceeds from the Co-Op.  The transaction is
summarized as follows:

Escondido, California


We have audited the accompanying combined historical summary of gross income and
direct operating expenses (historical summary) of Apache East Estates and Denali
Park Estates Manufactured Home Communities (the Communities), both of which are
under common ownership and management, for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This historical summary is the responsibility of the Communities' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the historical summary based on
our audit.

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

The accompanying combined historical summary was prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Windsor Park
Properties 3, Windsor Park Properties 4, Windsor Park Properties 5, Windsor Park
Properties 7, and Windsor Real Estate Investment Trust 8) as described in Note 1
to the combined historical summary, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Communities' combined revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, such historical summary presents fairly, in all material
respects, the combined gross income and direct operating expenses described in
Note 1 to the combined historical summary of gross income and direct operating
expenses of Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates Manufactured Home
Communities for the year ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTE TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME
AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying Combined Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct
     Operating Expenses (the historical summary) includes the accounts of Apache
     East Estates and Denali Park Estates Manufactured Home Communities (the
     Communities), both of which are under common ownership and management.  The
     historical summary has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
     inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Windsor Park Properties 3,
     Windsor Park Properties 4, Windsor Park Properties 5, Windsor Park
     Properties 7, and Windsor Real Estate Investment Trust 8).  Net operating
     income is computed as gross income from mobile home operations, less direct
     operating expenses from mobile home operations, excluding items not
     comparable to the proposed future operations of the Communities including
     depreciation, amortization, interest and nonproperty administrative
     expenses.  Consequently, net operating income as presented is not intended
     to be a complete presentation of the Communities' revenues and expenses.

                    --------------------------------------
                   Notes To Proforma Statement Of Operations
                     For The Year Ended December 31, 1996
                                  (unaudited)

Note 1.   Basis Of Presentation
          ---------------------

The unaudited proforma statement of operations of Windsor Real Estate Investment
Trust 8 (the Trust) for the year ended December 31, 1996 combines the historical
results of operations of the Trust and the Apache East Estates and Denali Park
Estates manufactured home communities for the year ended December 31, 1996, with
the estimated proforma results of the Apache East Estates and Denali Park
Estates communities assuming that they were purchased on January 1, 1996.  The
proforma statement of operations also assumes that the sale of the Griffwood
community occurred on January 1, 1996.  The Apache East Estates and Denali Park
Estates communities were purchased on February 20, 1997 and the Griffwood
community was sold on April 14, 1997.

The Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates communities were purchased with
a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Griffwood community and
borrowings from a third party lender.  The unaudited proforma statement of
operations has been prepared based on the assumption that the acquisition of the
Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates communities was accounted for as an
investment using the equity method of accounting.

Note 2.   Proforma Adjustments
          --------------------

The Trust's interests in the Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates
manufactured home communities are accounted for as investments using the equity
method of accounting.  Accordingly, all historical revenue and expense
components of Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates are eliminated through
proforma adjustments and the Trust's interest in the net earnings of Apache East
Estates and Denali Park Estates is reflected as a proforma adjustment to "Equity
in earnings (losses) of joint ventures."

Other proforma adjustments are discussed below.

(a)  Rent and Utilities
     ------------------
     This adjustment reflects the elimination of Apache East Estates and Denali
     Park Estates historical rent and utilities revenues of $595,000 (due to
     equity method accounting) as well as the elimination of rent and utilities
     revenues of $317,700 relating to the Griffwood community for the year ended
     December 31, 1996.

(b)  Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Joint Ventures
     ---------------------------------------------
     This adjustment reflects the Trust's interest in the net earnings of the
     Apache East Estates and Denali Park Estates communities.  The net earnings
     of the communities include adjustments to management fees, interest expense
     and depreciation, based on facts and circumstances in existence on the date
     of acquisition.

(c)  Other Revenue
     -------------
     This adjustment reflects the elimination of Apache East Estates and Denali
     Park Estates historical other revenue of $4,000 (due to equity method
     accounting) as well as the elimination of other revenues of $4,800 relating
     to the Griffwood community for the year ended December 31, 1996.
