                     AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D

     This Amendment No. 2, which relates to the common stock, par value $.01 
per share ("Shares"), of Chateau Properties, Inc. ("Chateau") and is being 
filed by ROC Communities, Inc. ("ROC"), supplements and amends the Statement 
on Schedule 13D relating to the Shares originally filed by ROC with the 
Commission on July 29, 1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with 
the Commission on September 20, 1996 (as amended, the "Statement"). 
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to 
them in the Statement.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     ROC used funds it borrowed from First Chicago National Bank ("First 
Chicago") pursuant to a short-term loan arrangement (the "Loan") to make the 
purchases of Shares reported in Item 5 below. The Loan bears interest at an 
annual rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 150 basis points and is 
repayable upon demand by First Chicago.  ROC paid First Chicago a fee equal 
to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Loan.

     ROC expects that it will borrow additional funds from First Chicago 
pursuant to loans with terms that are substantially the same as the terms of 
the Loan to make any future acquisitions of Shares (see Item 4).

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

     As previously reported, Chateau has waived in part the provisions of a 
standstill agreement applicable to ROC, and, as a result, ROC is permitted to 
purchase up to 7% of the outstanding Shares.  On October 14, 1996, ROC began 
making open market purchases of Shares permitted by such waiver (see Item 5), 
and ROC intends to continue to purchase Shares, up to the maximum permitted 
amount of 7% of the outstanding Shares, in open market or privately 
negotiated transactions.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a)  ROC may be deemed to beneficially own a total of 565,815 Shares, 
which represent approximately 8.7% of the total Shares outstanding, although 
ROC continues to disclaim beneficial ownership of 447,115 of those Shares.  
Such percentage is based on 6,099,710 Shares actually outstanding, plus 
420,000 Shares subject to the Chateau Option which are deemed to be 
outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended.

                                    3

     (b)-(c)  The following is a schedule of the transactions in
Shares effected by ROC since September 20, 1996 (the date on
which the last amendment to this Statement was filed), all of
which were effected in the open market through the facilities of
the New York Stock Exchange:

                        Number of 
                         Shares            Price 
             Date       Purchased        Per Share
             ----       ----------       ---------
           10/14/96       6,000            $25.125

           10/14/96      16,500            $25.250

           10/15/96       2,500            $25.250

           10/15/96       2,500            $25.375

           10/15/96      91,200            $25.500


     ROC has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all such 
Shares.  However, as previously reported, ROC has agreed with Chateau to vote 
all such Shares in favor of the Merger.
