To the Trustees and Participants of
Walden Residential Properties, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Dallas, Texas

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for benefits of Walden Residential Properties Inc. 401(k) Plan
(formerly WDN Management Company 401(k) Plan) as of September 30,
1997 and 1996, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 the audits 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.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the
Walden Residential Properties Inc. 401(k) Plan (formerly WDN
Management Company 401(k) Plan) at September 30, 1997 and 1996, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules listed in the Table of Contents are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements, but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental information by fund in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
the purpose of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available
for benefits of the individual funds.  The supplemental schedules
and supplemental information by fund are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules and supplemental
information by fund have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

         (FORMERLY WDN MANAGEMENT COMPANY 401 (k) PLAN)
                                
                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
                                
                                                              

1.     DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following description of the Walden Residential
     Properties, Inc. 401(k) Plan (formerly WDN Management Company
     401(k) Plan) (the "Plan") provides only general information. 
     Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
     complete description of the Plan's provisions.
     
          General Plan Description
          ------------------------

          The Plan was formed on October 1, 1995 and is a defined
     contribution plan covering substantially all employees of WDN
     Management Company ("WDN") and Walden Residential Properties,
     Inc. ("Walden") who have one year of service and are age 18 or
     older.  WDN acted as the Plan Administrator and controlled and
     managed the operation and administration of the Plan through
     December 31, 1996, at which time WDN was merged with Walden
     and Walden became the Plan administrator.  In connection with
     the merger, the Plan name was changed to Walden Residential
     Properties, Inc. 401(k) Plan.  For the year ended September
     30, 1996, Administrators Plan Services, Inc. sponsored the
     plan and two executive officers of WDN and Walden served as
     the trustee of the Plan.  Effective October 1, 1996, the Plan
     sponsor and administrator became Walden and Delaware Charter
     Guarantee & Trust Company became the trustee.  The Plan is
     subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
     
          Contributions
          -------------

          Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax
     annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. The Company makes
     a discretionary matching contribution (the "Matching
     Contribution").  For the Plan year ended September 30, 1996,
     the matching contribution represented 100% up to 6% and 50% up
     to 6% of eligible compensation for the periods from October 1,
     1995 through March 31, 1996 and from April 1, 1996 through
     September 30, 1996, respectively.  For the Plan year ended
     September 30, 1997, the matching contribution represented 50%
     up to 6% of eligible compensation.
     
          Participant Accounts
          --------------------

          Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
     contributions and withdrawals, as applicable, and allocations
     of (a) the Matching Contributions and (b) Plan earnings.
     Allocations are based on participant earnings or account
     balances, as defined.  Forfeited balances of terminated
     participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future
     Matching Contributions.  The benefit to which a participant is
     entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
     participant's account.
     
     At September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Plan had a receivable of
     $216,894 and $125,656, respectively, for a Matching
     Contribution due from WDN and Walden, respectively.  At
     September 30, 1997, the Plan had a receivable of $4,199 for
     participant contributions.  The amounts were received
     subsequent to September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively and
     were allocated to participant accounts based upon the
     investment options elected by each participant.
     
          Vesting
          -------

          Participants are immediately vested in their contributions
     plus actual earnings thereon.  Vesting in the Matching
     Contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings
     thereon is based on years of credited service.  Vesting occurs
     in accordance with the following table:
     
                 Years of Service          % Vested
                 ----------------          --------
                 less than 3 years              0%
                 3 years                       20%
                 4 years                       40%
                 5 years                       60%
                 6 years                       80%
                 after 7 years                100%
          
          Investment Options
          ------------------

          Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee
     contributions in 1% increments in any of eight investment
     options.  The Matching Contributions are contributed into the
     investment options elected for employee contributions, except
     for the Walden Stock Fund.
     
          Mainstay Money Market Fund -  Invests in short-term cash

          Mainstay Capital Appreciation Fund - Invests in a
          portfolio of equity securities with a focus on long-term

          Mainstay Government Fund -  Invests in government
          securities with the objective of a high level of current

          ("Walden Stock Fund") - Funds are invested in the common
          stock of Walden.
          
          Participants may change or transfer their investments
          options daily.
          
          Loans to Participants
          ---------------------

          Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to 50% of
     their account balance, with a minimum of $1,000 up to a
     maximum of $50,000.  Loan transactions are treated as a
     transfer between the investment fund and the loan fund.  Loan
     terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to 25 years for the
     purchase of a primary residence.  The loans are secured by the
     balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a
     rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined
     quarterly by the Plan administrator.  Principal and interest
     is paid ratably through biweekly payroll deductions.
     
          Payment of Benefits
          -------------------

          On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive
     either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the
     participant's vested interest in his or her account, or annual
     installments beginning the first day of the month coincident
     with the attainment of the normal retirement age, as defined. 
     Amounts payable to such participants at September 30, 1996
     were $2,582.  No amounts were payable at September 30, 1997.
     
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          Valuation of Investments
          ------------------------

          The investments in the Walden Stock Fund are stated at fair
     value based on closing sales prices reported on recognized
     securities exchanges on the last business day of the Plan
     year.  The mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices
     which represent the net asset values of shares held by the
     Plan at year-end.  
     
     The loans to participants are valued at cost plus accrued
     interest which approximates fair value.

          Administrative Expenses
          -----------------------

     Most of the Plan's expenses are paid by WDN or Walden.  During
     the Plan year ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, Walden and
     WDN paid $29,756 and $16,703, respectively, in administrative
     expenses on behalf of the Plan.
     
3.   INVESTMENTS EXCEEDING 5% OF NET ASSETS

     The Plan's investments which exceeded 5% of net assets
     available for benefits as of September 30, are as follows:

5.   PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the
     Plan management has the right under the Plan to discontinue
     its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan
     subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event
     of any termination of the Plan, or upon complete or partial
     discontinuance of contributions, the accounts of each
     affected participant shall become fully vested.  
     
6.   TAX STATUS

     The Plan's management believes that the Plan is currently
     designed and is being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. 
     Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included
     in the Plan's financial statements.
     
     The Plan is in the process of filing a request to obtain a
     determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
     indicating that the Plan, as designed, is in compliance with
     the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
     
7.   CHANGES IN THE PLAN 

     Effective October 1, 1997, the Plan was amended and restated
     in its entirety.  In connection with the acquisition of
     Drever Partners, Inc. and affiliates ("Drever") on October
     1, 1997, the Plan was amended to add the eligible employees
     of Drever to the Plan.  In addition, the amendment included
     certain other administrative changes including: (i) the Plan
     year end was changed to December 31, (ii) the maximum
     participant contribution was increased to 20% of eligible
     compensation, (iii) the Matching Contributions was changed
     to a quarterly funding rather than annual funding,  (iv) the
     funding of life insurance through the Plan was ceased and
     (iv) the vesting in the Matching Contribution was decreased
     from seven years to five years subsequent to September 30,
     1997.  Vesting occurs in accordance with the following
     schedule:
     
                Years of Service          % Vested
                ----------------          --------
                less than 3 years              0%
                3 years                       20%
                4 years                       40%
                5 years                       60%
                6 years                       80%
                after 7 years                100%
