Item 5.    Other Events
- -----------------------
    
   On February 12, 1997, Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. ("the
Company"), the general partner of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. ("the
Operating Parntership") completed an offering of 2.7 million shares of Common
Stock of the Company. On March 13, 1997, the underwriter of the stock offering
exercised its over-allotment option and purchased an additional 405,000 shares
of common stock. The 3,105,000 shares (the "Offering") were issued at $28.375
per share totaling $82,937,000, net of underwriting discounts and other expenses
totaling $5,136,000. The Company contributed the net proceeds from the Offering
to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 3.1 million limited partnership
units. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds from the contribution to
repay $72.1 million in borrowing under its line of credit and $9.0 million of
mortgage debt and to fund certain other costs incurred in connection with the
acquisitions discussed below.
        
    
   On February 24,1997 the Operating Partnership acquired two luxury, high-rise
properties for approximately $113 million, primarily through the issuance of
equity in the form of 1,149,623 limited partnership units valued at $28.4125
per unit and the assumption of $79 million of debt. The two properties, Crystal
Plaza and Crystal Towers, comprise 1,452 apartment units and are located in
Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia. The two properties were acquired from two
partnerships in which Robert H. Smith, was a general and limited partner and
Robert P. Kogod, was a limited partner. Messrs. Smith and Kogod are Co-Chairmen
and Co-CEOs of the Company. These acquisitions consolidate the ownership by the
Company of all of the Smith-developed multifamily communities in Crystal City
and increased by 64.4% the number of apartment units that the Company owns in
Crystal City, Virginia.
     
    
   On March 3, 1997 The Operating Partnership also acquired The Kenmore, a 376-
unit property in northwest Washington, D.C, for approximately $16.3 million
consisting of 510,700 limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership
valued at $14.5 million, the assumption of debt of $1.2 million and $.6 million
in related acquisition costs. The Operating Partnership also completed the
acquisition for approximately $9.5 million of 17 acres of land for the
development of an estimated 630-unit apartment community in Springfield,
Virginia.

                   CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY L.P.
                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
    
                                        
          Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership")
was organized in Delaware in 1993. The Operating Partnership had no operations
prior to the completion of the business combination which occurred on June 30,
1994. Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company"), a Maryland
Corporation, was formed in June 1993 with the intent of qualifying as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. In connection with the business combination, the Company, on June 30,
1994, raised equity through an initial public offering and a private placement,
and issued debt in a series of concurrent private financing transactions. The
proceeds were used to acquire the 1.0% sole general partnership and a 41.7%
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership is the successor entity to CES Group (the "Predecessor").
Simultaneous with the initial public offering and private placement, the
entities that owned the properties and the related service businesses included
in the CES Group transferred the properties and related service businesses to
the Operating Partnership (or corporations in which the Operating Partnership
owns substantially all of the equity) and received in exchange, directly or
indirectly, units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership. Assets
and liabilities related to interests contributed by the Predecessor Partners
have been recorded at their predecessor cost. The Company, through the Operating
Partnership and its subsidiaries, is engaged in the ownership, operation,
management, leasing, acquisition and development of real estate properties,
primarily residential multifamily properties.       

    
          On February 12, 1997, the Company completed a follow-on equity
offering of approximately $83 million, net of underwriting discounts and other
expenses totaling $5.1, through the issuance of 3.1 million shares of Common
Stock of the Company ("the Offering"), including the Underwriters' option for an
additional 405,000 which was exercised on March 13, 1997. Net proceeds of the
Offering were contributed by the Company to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for 3.1 million limited partnership units. The Operating Partnership
used the resulting net proceeds for repayment of a portion of the outstanding
indebtedness under certain of its lines of credit, certain mortgage debt and
acquisition costs. On February 24, 1997 the Operating Partnership acquired two
luxury, high-rise properties in Crystal City, Virginia, primarily through the
issuance of equity in the form of Operating Partnership Units and assumption of
debt.    
    
          . Crystal Plaza. On February 24, 1997 the Operating Partnership 
            --------------
acquired Crystal Plaza, a 540-unit luxury high-rise property located in Crystal
City, Virginia for a total cost of approximately $43.8 million, consisting of
Operating Partnership Units with a value of $9.4 million, the assumption of
$33.0 million of debt, other acquisition costs and a fair value adjustment to
debt. The property is currently subject to a 5.1% net profits interest in favor
of an unaffiliated third party. In the first year after acquisition, the
Operating Partnership expects to realize an unleveraged yield on capitalized
costs of 9.15% after estimated recurring capital expenditures. Messrs. Smith and
Kogod and family had a 17.19% interest in the partnership that owned Crystal
Plaza. The average monthly revenue per apartment unit for Crystal Plaza was
$1,105 in 1995 and $1,167 in 1996 and its average occupancy (calculated
beginning on the rent commencement date) was 98.8% in 1995 and 98.7% in 1996.
Crystal Plaza was developed and managed by the CES Group, the predecessor to the
Operating Partnership with the same quality standards as the properties in the
Operating Partnership portfolio.

          . Crystal Towers. On February 24, 1997, the Operating Partnership 
            ---------------
also acquired Crystal Towers, a 912-unit luxury-rise property located in Crystal
City, Virginia for a total cost of approximately $69.3 million, including
consideration of Operating Partnership Units valued at $24.1 million, the
assumption of $46.0 million of debt, approximately $1.6 million in cash and
certain acquisition costs, reduced by a fair value adjustment to debt and the
transfer of cash reserves. In the first year after acquisition, the Operating
Partnership expects to realize an unleveraged yield on capitalized costs of
9.19% after estimated recurring capital expenditures. The average monthly
revenue per apartment unit for Crystal Towers was $1,002 in 1995 and $1,047 in
1996 and its average occupancy was 97.7% in 1995 and 97.6% in 1996. Crystal
Towers was developed and managed by the CES Group, with the same quality
standards as the properties in the Operating Partnership's portfolio. Messrs.
Smith and Kogod and family had a 4.86% ownership interest in the partnership
that had a 93% ownership interest in Crystal Towers, and the cash purchase of
the remaining 7% of the property was made pursuant to purchase rights assigned
(at no cost to the Operating Partnership) from a partnership controlled by
Messrs. Smith and Kogod.

          . The Kenmore. The Operating Partnership also acquired on March 3, 
            ------------
1997, the Kenmore, a 376-unit property located on Connecticut Avenue in
northwest Washington, D.C., for a total cost of approximately $16.3 million, at
an unleveraged yield after estimated recurring capital expenditures of 9.03%.
The Kenmore was acquired for a combination of equity in the form of 510,700
Operating Partnership Units valued at $14.5 million, the assumption of debt of
$1.2 million and $.6 million of acquisition costs. The Kenmore acquisition
increases the percentage of the Operating Partnership's multifamily residential
portfolio in northwest Washington, D.C. to 16.7%.

          . Springfield, Virginia development site. ("Springfield Land") The
            ----------------------------------------                         
Operating Partnership purchased for $9.5 million approximately 17 acres of land
for the development of a 630-unit multi-phase low and mid-rise apartment
community in Springfield, Virginia. The site is strategically located adjacent
to a new Metrorail and commuter rail station and a regional shopping mall, and
offers access to the I-495 Capital Beltway and I-395, a major route into
Washington, D.C. Budgeted costs for this project are expected to be
approximately $59.1 million and construction commenced in June 1997.

        statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 of Charles

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements as of December
        31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 are presented as if
        the Offering (including the assets to be acquired) and the acquisitions
        of the properties acquired during 1996 (the "1996 Acquisitions") all had
        occurred by December 31, 1996 for the pro forma consolidated balance

        indicative of what the Operating Partnership's actual financial
        position would have been or the actual results of operations of the
        Operating Partnership would have been assuming the completion of the
        Offering (including the assets to be acquired) and had the 1996
        Acquisitions occurred by December 31, 1996 for the pro forma
        consolidated balance sheet and at the beginning of the period for the
        pro forma consolidated statement of operations, nor do the pro forma

                         (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)



1.  Basis of Presentation
    ---------------------
    
          The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31,
1996 and Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996 are based on the historical financial statements of the
Operating Partnership and its subsidiary partnerships.     
    
          The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 1996 is presented as if the Offering (including the
assets to be acquired) and the 1996 Acquisitions all had occurred as of January
1, 1996. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December
31,1996 is presented as if the Offering (including the assets to be acquired)
and the 1996 Acquisitions had occurred by December 31, 1996. The assets to be
acquired include Crystal Plaza, Crystal Towers, The Kenmore and 17 acres of land
for development located in Springfield, Virginia. The unaudited pro forma
information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and notes related thereto appearing in the Operating Partnership's
1996 Form 10-K.     
    
          Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on
assumptions considered appropriate by the Operating Partnership's management.
The pro forma financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily
indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the Offering
(including the assets to be acquired) and the 1996 Acquisitions had been
consummated at the beginning of the period presented, nor does it purport to
represent the future financial position and results of operations for future
periods. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.

3.  Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations       

    
  (A)   During 1996 the Operating Partnership acquired Van Ness South Apartments
        (on July 30, 1996), 1841 Columbia Road Apartments (on August 2, 1996),
        Charter Oak Apartments (on March 15, 1996), and Governor Spotswood
        Apartments (on March 14, 1996). The adjustments reflect the operations
        of the four acquisitions as if the purchases occurred on January 1, 1996
        for the year ended December 31, 1996. Depreciation and amortization has
        been adjusted based on the allocated purchase price of the assets
        acquired and an estimated useful life of 40 years. Interest expense has
        been adjusted based on the additional financing incurred as a result of
        the acquisitions, using a weighted average borrowing rate of 7.27% for
        the year ended December 31, 1996.


  (B)   Operating expenses have been adjusted to eliminate intercompany
        management fees related to the properties acquired.

  (C)   Depreciation and amortization has been adjusted based on the allocated
        purchase price of the assets to be acquired and an estimated useful life
        of 40 years, as if the purchases occurred on January 1, 1996 for the
        year ended December 31, 1996.

We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses of
Crystal Plaza ("the Property") for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and
1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Property's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

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

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty L.P.   Material amounts, described in Note 1 to the
statements of revenue and certain expenses, that would not be comparable to
those resulting from the proposed future operations of the Property are excluded
and the statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the
revenues and expenses of this property.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of Crystal Plaza for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
   ----------------------

   The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses relate to the
   operations of Crystal Plaza apartments (the "Property") which is owned by
   Plaza Associates Limited Partnership ("Plaza").  The Property consists of two
   apartment buildings containing 540 residential units and 9 retail units,
   located in Arlington, Virginia.  The Property is to be acquired by Charles E.
   Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership").

   The accompanying statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying
   with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission
   and thus, exclude certain expenses, such as interest expense, depreciation
   and amortization, certain professional fees and other costs not related to
   the future operations of the Property.  Management is not aware of any
   material factors relating to the Property which would cause the reported
   financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

   Significant Accounting Policies
   -------------------------------

   The accompanying statements were prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
   Rental income attributable to residential leases is recognized when due from
   tenants.  The Property requires tenants to initially execute a one-year
   lease.  At the expiration of the lease term, the lease converts to a month-
   to-month basis.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
   ---------------------------

   Smith Realty Company, an operating subsidiary of the Operating Partnership,
   provided management services to the Property. Management fees, computed based
   on a percentage of rents collected, were paid to Smith Realty Company for
   management services. Prior to June 30, 1994, these services were provided by
   Charles E. Smith Management Inc., an affiliated entity.

   Expenses of the Property also include payments to Consolidated Engineering
   Services, an operating subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, related to
   engineering, repair and maintenance services. Prior to June 30, 1994, these
   services were provided by Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc., an

   entity.

   The Property paid environmental computer service fees to an affiliate.

             Charles E. Smith Residential Realty's 1996 FFO Up 10%

       Announces Follow-on Equity Offering to Fund Pending Acquisitions


     ARLINGTON, VA - Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (NYSE: SRW), the 
largest publicly traded multifamily real estate investment trust focused on the 
greater Washington, D.C. region, announced today that Funds From Operations 
(FFO) for 1996 increased 10% over 1995 and that the Company's Board of Directors
approved a follow-on common equity offering, of at least 2.7 million shares, to 
fund two acquisitions presently under contract.

     The Board also approved the acquisition of the properties under contract, 
two luxury high-rise apartment communities, for approximately $113 million. 
These acquisitions will be purchased with a combination of Operating Partnership
Units and the assumption of debt, which will be partially repaid with the 
follow-on offering proceeds. The economic impact from the two acquisitions will 
be immediately accretive to FFO and, along with the equity offering and issuance
of Operating Partnership Units, will lower the Company's overall debt to total 
market capitalization ratio from 46% to approximately 42%. The two properties, 
Crystal Plaza and Crystal Towers, comprise 1,452 apartment units and are located
in Crystal City, Virginia. Underwriters for the offering are Goldman, Sachs & 
Co.; Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation; Prudential Securities 
Incorporated; and Legg Mason Wood Walker, Inc.

     The Company's FFO for 1996 was $23.9 million, or $2.41 per share, a 10.0% 
increase over the Company's FFO per share for 1995. For the quarter ended 
December 31, 1996, FFO was $7.1 million, or $0.70 per share, up 11.1% over the 
fourth quarter of 1995. FFO is widely considered to be the most appropriate 
measure of a real estate investment trust's operating performance.


     Ernest A. Gerardi, Jr., President of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty,
Inc., stated that "We are quite pleased with our continued solid growth in 1996,
which exceeded analysts expectations. This performance is the result of a
combination of our acquisition and development programs, together with
operational initiatives that will continue to fuel growth in the years ahead.
The implementation of these initiatives positions us well for 1997 and beyond."


     The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment
trust, or UPREIT. All property ownership and business operations take place in 
an operating partnership and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Company 
currently owns approximately 45% of the Operating Partnership and is its sole 
general partner.

   
     The Operating Partnership's total revenue from rental properties was 
$166.3 million for 1996, an increase of 14.7% over 1995. For the fourth quarter 
of 1996, revenue from rental properties increased 12.0% over the same period 
last year.


     The Operating Partnership's 1996 income from rental properties before
depreciation increased 14.2% from $79.3 million to $90.5 million. Income from
rental properties before depreciation for the fourth quarter of 1996 increased
12.7% to $24.3 million. The Property Service Businesses contributed income
before depreciation of $8.9 million in 1996 and $3.2

million in the fourth quarter of 1996.  For the twelve months ended 
December 31, 1996, the Property Service Businesses provided 8.9% of the 
Operating Partnership's total income before depreciation.

       The Operating Partnership's earnings before interest, taxes, 
depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 12.8% to $97.8 million in 
1996.  For the fourth quarter of 1996, EBITDA increased 10.7% to $27.2 million.

       The Company's net income for 1996 was $11.0 million, or $1.11 per share, 
an increase of 37.0% over 1995.  Net income for the fourth quarter was $5.0 
million, or $0.49 per share, up 40.0% over the fourth quarter of 1995.  Net 
income in all periods reflect charges for quarterly distributions paid to other 
operating partnership unitholders in excess of net income attributed to these 
unitholders, because these unitholders' partnership interests are carried at 
zero on the balance sheet.  Such charges were $4.8 million in 1996 and $0.1 
million for the fourth quarter, and it is important to note that they have no 
effect on the Company's FFO.

       The Company will hold a teleconference on Friday, January 31 at 11:00am 
EST to review the information reported in this release.  To participate, please 
call 1-800-759-6338 shortly before 11:00am and identify yourself as a

                 SMITH REIT ACQUIRES $113 MILLION OF PROPERTIES
                             VIA OP UNIT EXCHANGE

         1,452 apartment units added in strong Crystal City submarket

    ARLINGTON, VA.--Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (NYSE:SRW) 
announced today that it has acquired two luxury high-rise apartment properties, 
totaling 1,452 units in Crystal City, Virginia. These properties--Crystal Plaza 
and Crystal Towers--were acquired in exchange for equity in the form of Smith 
REIT Operating Partnership Units (OP Units), together with the assumption of 
debt. Total value of the transactions was approximately $113 million, including 
issuance of 1,149,623 Operating Partnership Units valued at $28.4125 per unit, 
assumption of $79 million in loans, and other costs. The addition of these 
properties brings the total number of apartment units in the Smith REIT 
portfolio to 16,652, an increase of more than 40% since the company's initial 
public offering in mid-1994.

    Ernest Gerardi, Jr., president of the Smith REIT, said "We are pleased to 
announce these acquisitions, which are consistent with the strategy outlined in 
our recent follow-on stock offering to use the proceeds along with the 
continuing issuance of Operating Partnership Units to grow our portfolio. These 
acquisitions are expected to be accretive to earnings in 1997."

    The OP Unit exchange approach used by the Smith REIT to acquire these 
properties is increasingly popular because it allows longer-term property owners
with low or negative tax basis, for whom a cash sale would cause a taxable gain,
to defer income taxes on the transaction. The Smith REIT's Operating Partnership
Units pay the same dividends as the Smith REIT's common stock and are redeemable
for stock on a one-to-one basis, subject to certain conditions. The property
owner obtains other advantages including regular dividends, liquidity,
investment diversification, and participation in any appreciation of Smith REIT
stock. Lastly, many property owners use the Unit exchange approach to enhance
estate planning.

    Crystal Plaza is a 540-unit, 12-story twin-tower luxury high-rise built in 
1967. It averaged 98.7% occupancy in 1996, with average revenue per unit of
$1,167, up 5.6% over 1995. Crystal Towers is a 912-unit, 12 story twin-tower
luxury high-rise also built in 1967. In 1996, it averaged 97.6% occupancy with
an average monthly revenue of $1,047 per unit, an increase of 4.5% over the
previous year. With the addition of these two properties, the Smith REIT now
owns all of the apartment properties in Crystal City originally developed and
built by the Charles E. Smith organization, a total of 3,360 units.

    Crystal City is one of the strongest apartment submarkets in the Washing
area. Strategically located adjacent to National Airport and the Pentagon, and
minutes from downtown Washington and Capitol Hill, it had an average occupancy
rate of over 97% in 1996, and no new apartment construction underway or planned.
With its large concentration in this submarket--3,708 of a total of 4,669
apartment units--the Smith REIT benefits from both marketing and operational
efficiencies.

                  SMITH REIT ADDS LUXURY HIGH-RISE APARTMENTS

                376 Unit property acquired via OP Unit exchange

     
    ARLINGTON, VA.--Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (NYSE:SRW) 
announced today that it has acquired the Kenmore Apartments, a 376 unit luxury 
high-rise property on upper Connecticut Avenue in northwest Washington, DC, in 
exchange for equity in the form of Smith REIT Operating Partnership Units (OP 
Units), together with the assumption of debt. Total value of the transaction was
approximately $15.6 million, including issuance of 510,674 Operating Partnership
Units and assumption of approximately $1.2 million in loans, and other costs.
The Kenmore increases the Smith REIT's presence in the prestigious Connecticut
Avenue corridor to 2,843 apartment units in 10 properties.

    Ernest Gerardi, Jr., president of the Smith REIT, said, "This property is an
excellent addition to our strong concentration in the high demand Connecticut 
Avenue corridor and further increases our ability to take advantage of marketing
and operational efficiencies. It also completes the commitment, involving the 
acquisition of three properties, we made to our investors in conjunction with 
our recent follow-on stock offering."

    The OP Unit exchange approach used by the Smith REIT in its three recent 
acquisitions is a special feature available only to certain REITs known as 
"UPREITs". It is particularly advantageous to longer term property owners with 
low or negative tax basis for whom a cash sale would cause a taxable gain, 
because it allows deferral of income taxes on the transaction.

    The Kenmore is a 376 unit 11-story luxury high-rise located at 5415 
Connecticut Avenue in northwest Washington, D.C.  It averaged 97% occupancy in 
1995 and 1996 and had an average monthly revenue of $665 in 1996. The addition 
of the Kenmore brings the Smith REIT's concentration in the Connecticut Avenue

company's operating efficiencies in this submarket.

    The Connecticut Avenue corridor has long been and continues to be the 
location of choice for many professionals and others working in downtown 
Washington, D.C. because of the prestige of its address, its convenient access 
to downtown by car of Metro and an excellent selection of fully-serviced 
well-maintained luxury apartment buildings. Because of this continuing strong 
demand, and limited new development in recent years, this submarket consistently
maintains occupancies of better than 96%.
