                             (Unaudited)
                                
                THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies  in
effect  as  of  December 31, 1997, as set  forth  in  the  annual
consolidated financial  statements  of  Mid-America   Apartment
Communities, Inc. ("MAAC" or the "Company"), as of such date.  In
the  opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a  fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements  have  been
included  and  all  such adjustments were of a  normal  recurring
nature.   All  significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.  The results of operations
for   the  three-month  period  ended  March  31,  1998  are  not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial
instruments and does not use them for trading purposes.  The Company
occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments as hedges in
anticipation of future debt transactions to manage well-defined
interest rate risk.

2.     Borrowing Transactions

On  March  6,  1998 the Company, through one of its subsidiaries,
issued  $142 million aggregate principal amount of 6.376% Bonds
Due  2003 (the Bonds).  The Bonds are secured by a first priority
deed  of  trust, security agreement and assignment of  rents  and
leases  in respect of the mortgaged properties.  The net proceeds
from  the  sale  of  the Bonds were applied to the  bridge  notes
payable and utilized to fund costs of the offering.

In  anticipation  of  the March 6, 1998 Bond issuance  discussed
above,  the  Company  entered into four  separate  interest  rate
contracts in 1997 with notional amounts aggregating $140 million,
the effect of which was to lock the interest rate on $140 million
of  the Bonds at an average interest rate of 6.62%.  On  March 6,
1998  the  Company realized a $1.4 million loss  on  the
interest  rate contracts.   The realized loss resulting from  the
change in the market value of these contracts are amortized  into
interest expense over the life of the related debt issuance.

3.     Capital Transactions

During  the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company issued
50,000 shares of stock and 100,000 units to certain  executive 
officers of the Company at  the  then  current market  price. 
The  Company received approximately  $3,583,000 cash and advanced
the employees approximately $632,000 secured by the stock of the 
Company.  The advances bear interest at 7.0% per annum, have  
annual payments of approximately $126,000 and have been recorded
in shareholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Additionally, the Company issued 60,000 shares of stock to certain
other officers of the Company at the then current market price. 
The Company received approximately $817,500 cash and advanced the
employees approximately $817,500.  The advances bear interest of 
7.5% and 8.25% per annum and are secured by the stock of the Company.
The 7.5% advances have annual payments of approximately $49,050 and 
have been classified as shareholders' equity in the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheet.  The 8.25% advances have no annual 
payments and have been classified as other assets in the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, the Company has agreed to pay a bonus to the executive 
officers for as long as they remain employed by the Company in an 
amount equal to the debt service on the advances from the Company.
The advances will become due and payable and the bonus will terminate
if the employees voluntarily terminate their employment with the Company.
The Company has agreed to pay a bonus to the other officers amounting
to a total of $49,050 annually for five years; these advances will
become due and payable if the employees terminate their employment
with the company.  


4.     Earnings per Share

The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", effective for
financial statements for periods ending after December 31, 1997.  
All prior period earnings per share data has been restated to conform
with the provisions of this statement.

At March 31, 1998, 18,610,912 common shares and 3,031,194 operating
partnership units were outstanding, a total of 21,642,106.  Additionally,
MAAC has outstanding options of 833,737 and 519,800 shares of common
stock at March 31, 1998 and 1997.  

5.     Subsequent Events

Property Acquisitions
- ---------------------

On May 6, 1998, the Company acquired the 200-unit Eagle  Ridge
apartment  community located in Birmingham, AL  for  $8.4  million
less $6.4 million of assumed debt.  The balance was paid in UPREIT
units and cash funded by the Company's credit line.

                             ITEM 2.

 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The  following  is  a  discussion of the  consolidated  financial
condition and results of operations of the Company for the  three
months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. This discussion should  be
read   in  conjunction  with  all  of  the  financial  statements
appearing  elsewhere in this report.  These financial  statements
include  all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary  to  reflect a fair statement of the  results  for  the
interim  periods  presented, and all such adjustments  are  of  a
normal recurring nature.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from operations ("FFO") represents net income (computed  in
accordance  with  GAAP) excluding extraordinary  items,  minority
interest  in  Operating  Partnership  income,  gain  or  loss  on
disposition  of  real estate assets, and certain non-cash  items,
primarily  depreciation and amortization,  less  preferred  stock
dividends.  The Company computes FFO in accordance with  NAREIT's
current  definition,  which eliminates amortization  of  deferred
financing  costs  and depreciation of non-real estate  assets  as
items added back to net income when computing FFO. FFO should not
be  considered as an alternative to net income or any other  GAAP
measurement   of  performance,  as  an  indicator  of   operating
performance  or  as an alternative to cash flows from  operating,
investing,  and financing activities as a measure  of  liquidity.
The  Company  believes that FFO is helpful in  understanding  the
Company's results of operations in that such calculation reflects
cash flow from operating activities and the Company's ability  to
support  interest payments and general operating expenses  before
the  impact of certain activities such as changes in other assets
and  accounts  payable.   The Company's calculation  of  FFO  may
differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other
REITs  and,  accordingly,  may not be comparable  to  such  other
REITs.  Depreciation expense includes $24,000 and $42,000 at March
31, 1998 and 1997 which relates to computer software, office
furniture and fixtures and other assets found in other industries
and which is required to be recognized, for purposes of funds from
operations computations, as expenses in the calculation of net 
income.

For  the  three  months  ended March 31, 1998, FFO  increased  by
approximately $6,610,000 or 70%, when compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to an
approximate $21,143,000 increase in revenues, which was partially
offset  by  increases  in  expenses mainly  associated  with  the
increase  in the number of apartment units owned by the  Company.
On  a  per share basis, FFO increased approximately 10% from $.68
per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $.75 per 
share for the same period in 1998.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON  OF  THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998  TO  THE  THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

The  total number of apartment units owned at March 31, 1998  was
31,307  in  118 apartment communities, compared to 20,394  in  77
communities  at  March  31,  1997.    In  addition,  through  the
November  25,  1997  merger  with  Flournoy  Development  Company
("FDC"),   the  Company acquired 32 communities containing  8,641
apartment  units including 950 apartment units under development.
The FDC Merger was accounted for using the purchase method.  
Accordingly, the operating results for these 32 communities are
included in the Company's financial statements for periods
subsequent to November 25, 1997.  Average  monthly rental per 
apartment unit increased to  $572  at March  31,  1998 from $532 
at March 31, 1997.  Overall  occupancy at March 31, 1998 and 1997
was 94.6% and 94.3%, respectively.  For the properties acquired 
through the FDC merger, average monthly rental per apartment unit 
was $613 and average occupancy was 92.9% at March 31, 1998.

Total  revenues for 1998 increased by approximately  $21,143,000,
due  primarily  to  (i) approximately  $5,158,000  from  the  12
Communities acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately $13,603,000 from
the  30  completed Communities acquired through the  FDC  Merger,
(iii) approximately $363,000 from the 2 Communities acquired in 
1998, (iv) approximately $1,431,000 from the Communities owned
throughout both periods, (v) approximately $206,000 from  Lincoln
on  the  Green  phase  II in Memphis, Tennessee  which  completed
development   in  1998  and  (vi) approximately  $382,000   from
management and development income, net.

Property  operating expenses for 1998 increased by  approximately
$7,449,000,  due  primarily to (i) approximately $1,865,000  from
the   12   Communities  acquired  in  1997,  (ii)   approximately
$4,805,000 from the 30 completed Communities acquired through the
FDC   merger,  (iii)   approximately  $140,000   from   the   2
Communities acquired in 1998, (iv) approximately $525,000  from
the   Communities   owned  throughout  both  periods,   and   (v)
approximately  $114,000 from Lincoln on the  Green  phase  II  in
Memphis,  Tennessee which completed development in  1998.  Utility
costs  decreased from 4.9% of revenue to 4.4% of revenue for  the
three months ended  March 31, 1998 compared to the same period a
year earlier, due primarily to over 13,000 units now submetered for
water usage.

General and  administrative expense increased by approximately
$1,200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared 
to March 31, 1997.  Of the increase, approximately $443,000 was 
attributable to overhead resulting from the  FDC Merger and 
$180,000 from additional incentive accruals for property level 
personnel.  Approximately $195,000 is due to the timing of 
certain airplane and landscape expenses which occured earlier in 1998 
than in 1997.  Other increases include $85,000 of additional 
accounting expense, and other increases in employee benefits
and training due to the increased size of the business.

Depreciation  and amortization expense increased by approximately
$5,253,000 primarily due to (i) approximately $1,122,000 from the
12  Communities  acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately  $3,141,000
from  the  30  completed  Communities acquired  through  the  FDC
Merger,  (iii)   approximately $85,000 from the 2  Communities
acquired  in 1998, (iv) approximately $771,000 from additional
capital  expenditures  on   Communities  owned  throughout   both
periods,  and  (v) approximately $134,000 from  Lincoln  on  the
Green  phase  II.  Amortization of deferred financing  costs  and
unamortized costs in excess of fair value of net assets  acquired
for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1998  were  approximately
$546,000 and approximately $364,000, respectively.

Interest  expense increased approximately $4,478,000  during  the
three  months  ended  March 31, 1998 due primarily  to  apartment
acquisitions and new financing transactions related  to  the  FDC
merger. The Company reduced its average borrowing cost to 7.2% at
March 31, 1998 as compared to 7.9% on March 31, 1997. The average
maturity  on the Company's debt was 11.3 and 10.0 years  at  March
31,  1998  and  1997, respectively.    In the three months  ended
March 31, 1998 the Company recorded a loss of approximately 
$371,000 on  early  extinguishment of debt, net of minority
interest, primarily  from the repayment of certain debt in 
connection  with the FDC Merger.

As  a result of the foregoing, income before minority interest in
operating partnership income for the three months ended March 31,
1998  increased approximately $2,763,000 over the same  period  a
year earlier.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided  by  operating  activities  increased  from
approximately  $7,936,000 for the three months  ended  March  31,
1997  to  approximately $14,924,000 for the  three  months  ended
March  31, 1998. The increase in net cash flow was primarily  due
to  an  increase in depreciation and amortization less an 
extraordinary  loss recorded due to the early extinguishment of
certain debt.

Net   cash   used   in   investing  activities   decreased   from
approximately $37,972,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997
to approximately $37,087,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 392 apartment
units  in 1998 for approximately $18,714,000 as compared  to  the
acquisition  of  1,114 apartment units in 1997 for  approximately
$31,706,000. Capital improvements to existing properties  totaled
approximately  $6,685,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
compared to approximately $3,770,000 for the same period in 1997.
Of  the $6,685,000 capital improvements approximately $1,330,000
was  for  recurring  capital expenditures, including  carpet and
appliances,  approximately $1,015,000 was for  revenue  enhancing
projects,  approximately $4,250,000 was for  acquisition  capital
with  the remaining balance for corporate and other miscellaneous
expenditures. Recurring capital expenditures for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 averaged six cents per share, compared to 
35 cents per share anticipated for the full year 1998 and compared
to 1997's full year of 47 cents per share.  Construction  in
progress  for  new  apartment units increased from  approximately
$2,496,000  for  the  three  months  ended  March 31, 1997   to
approximately $11,688,000 for the comparable period in 1998,  due
primarily  to developments in process including $861,000 for the 
254-unit Reserve at Dexter Lake in Memphis, TN, $1,586,000 for 
the 288-unit Mandarin in Jacksonville, FL, $1,562,000 for the 
154-unit phase II addition for Whisperwood Spa in Columbus, GA,
$2,354,000 for the 192-unit phase II addition for a community in
Huntsville, AL and $2,683,000 for the 316-unit Terraces at 
Fieldstone in Conyers, GA.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from 
approximately $29,177,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1997  to  approximately $19,773,000 for the  three  months  ended
March  31,  1998.   On  March  6, 1998  the  Partnership   issued
$142,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.376% Bonds Due  2003
(the  Bonds).  The net proceeds from the sale of the  Bonds  were
applied to the bridge notes payable and utilized to fund costs of
the offering.  Additionally, the Company refinanced approximately
$29,100,000 of various rate notes payable with a new $36,200,000
seven  year amortizing note  payable  at  7.0%.  Additionally, 
during the three months ended 1998,  approximately $20,573,000 
was  provided by borrowings under the  Credit  Line.  The primary 
use of cash was approximately $175,654,000 for the 
repayment of notes payable and approximately $13,443,000 for 
dividends and distributions.

At  March  31,  1998,  the Company had approximately  $65,798,000
outstanding on the Credit Line.  At March 31, 1998,  the  Company
had  approximately  $93,136,000 (including the  Credit  Line)  of
floating rate debt at an average interest rate of 6.5%; all other
debt was fixed rate term debt at an average interest rate of 7.3%.
The  weighted average interest rate and weighted average maturity
at  March  31, 1998 for the approximately $666,106,000  of  notes
payable were 7.2% and 11.3 years, respectively. In March 1998, the
Company  increased its credit limit under the  Credit  Line  from
$110,000,000  to $200,000,000.  The Company expects  to  use  the
Credit  Line for future acquisitions, development, and to provide
letters  of  credit as credit enhancements for tax-exempt  bonds.
The  Credit  Line  is secured and is subject  to  borrowing  base
calculations that effectively reduce the maximum amount that  may
be borrowed under the Credit Line to approximately $130,812,000 as
of the date of this report.

The Company believes that cash provided by operations is adequate
and  anticipates that it will continue to be adequate in both the
short  and  long-term  to meet operating requirements  (including
recurring capital expenditures at the Communities) and payment of
distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements
under the Code.

1998 capital expenditures at existing owned properties (including
upgrades to the three properties purchased this year) are currently
planned as follows: 

Recurring capital at stabilized properties           $  8,410,000
Revenue enhancing projects at stabilized properties     9,773,000
Capital improvements to pre-stabilized properties
  (includes $10,827,000 at former FDC properties)      16,472,000 
                                                     ------------
Total for existing owned properties                  $ 34,655,000  
                                                     ============

The Company anticipates investing a total of $118 million during
1998 in the development of new apartment units.  The Company 
expects to meet its long term liquidity requirements, such as 
scheduled mortgage debt maturities, property acquisitions, 
expansions and  non-recurring capital expenditures, through 
long and medium-term collateralized and  uncollateralized fixed
rate borrowings, issuance of debt or additional equity securities
in the Company and the Credit Line.

INSURANCE

In  the opinion of management, property and casualty insurance is
in  place  which provides adequate coverage to provide  financial
protection  against normal insurable risks such that it  believes
that any loss experienced would not have a significant impact  on
the  Company's  liquidity,  financial  position,  or  results  of
operations.

INFLATION

Substantially  all  of  the resident leases  at  the  Communities
allow,  at  the  time  of renewal, for adjustments  in  the  rent
payable thereunder, and thus may enable the Company to seek  rent
increases. The substantial majority of these leases are  for  one
year  or  less.  The short-term nature of these leases  generally
serves  to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse  effects
of inflation.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition
and   Results  of  Operations  contains  certain  forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of  the  Securities
Act  of  1933,  as  amended, and Section 21E  of  the  Securities
Exchange  Act  of  1934, as amended, which  are  intended  to  be
covered  by  the  safe harbors created thereby. These  statements
include  the  plans  and  objectives  of  management  for  future
operations,  including plans and objectives relating  to  capital
expenditures   and   rehabilitation  costs   on   the   apartment
communities.  Although the Company believes that the  assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any  of
the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can  be
no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this
report  on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. In light  of  the
significant   uncertainties  inherent  in   the   forward-looking
statements  included  herein, the inclusion of  such  information
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or  any
other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be
achieved.
