                  Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross
Income and Direct Operating Expenses (Historical Summary) of the
Acquisition Property (Eagle Ridge Apartments), as described in
Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 1997.  This Historical
Summary is the responsibility of the Acquisition Property's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
Historical Summary for the Acquisition Property 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 statement is free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary for the
Acquisition Property.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
Historical Summary for the Acquisition Property.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summary for the Acquisition Property
was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Acquisition Property's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the gross income and direct
operating expenses described in Note 1 to the Historical Summary
for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)  Accounting Policies

     Description

     The accompanying financial statement includes the operations
     of Eagle Ridge Apartments (the Acquisition Property) owned
     by parties unaffiliated with Mid-America Apartment
     Communities, Inc. (the Company) and Mid-America Apartments,
     L.P. (the Operating Partnership).  The Acquisition Property,
     a multi-family residential property located in Birmingham,
     Alabama was acquired by the Operating Partnership on May 8,
     1998 and contains 200 apartment units.

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying financial statement is not representative
     of the actual operations for the period presented.  Certain
     expenses have been excluded because Mid-America Apartments,
     L.P. (the Operating Partnership) does not anticipate that
     they will be incurred in future operations of the property.
     Expenses excluded consist of depreciation and amortization,
     management fees and other costs not directly related to the
     future operations of the Acquisition Property.  Interest
     Expense has been included in the Historical Summary to the
     extent that a note payable is assumed in connection with the
     Operating Partnership's acquisition of the Acquisition
     Property.  Operating expenses include payroll, utilities,
     advertising, and other general and administrative costs.
     Management is not aware of any material factors relating to
     this Acquisition Property that would cause this financial
     statement not to be indicative of future operating results
     as related to gross income and direct operating expenses.

     Income Recognition

     Revenues from rental property are recognized when due from
     tenants.  Leases are generally for one year or less.
