              WALDEN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, INC.
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (Unaudited)
                                
1.   Interim Unaudited Financial Information

     Walden Residential Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a
self-administered and self-managed real estate company operated
as a real estate investment trust, as defined under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company owned
156 multifamily properties, containing 42,858 apartment units,
located primarily in the Southwest and Southeast regions of the
United States.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997, and Form 10-Q for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, which were filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The accompanying interim unaudited
condensed consolidated financial information has been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual
financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules
and regulations of the SEC.  Management believes that the disclosures
contained in this Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments and
eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position
of the Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998 and
the consolidated results of their operations  for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and consolidated cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, have  been  included.  The
consolidated  results  of  operations  for  the  three and six 
months  ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full year.

     As of June 30, 1998, the Company had six apartment
properties held for sale.  Management has determined that such
properties do not match the Company's long-term investment strategies. 
(See Note 8)

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (the "Statement"),
which establishes standards for accounting and reporting for
derivative instruments.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for periods
beginning after June 15, 1999; however, earlier application is
permitted.  Management is currently not planning on early adoption
of this Statement and has not had an opportunity to evaluate the
impact of the provisions of the Statement on the Company's
consolidated financial statements relating to future adoption.

2.   Acquisitions

     On February 18, 1998, the Company acquired two apartment
properties with a total of 376 units, located in Tampa, Florida
for approximately $15.9 million.  The Company funded these
acquisitions by assuming $5.7 million of variable rate, tax-exempt
debt maturing in the year 2007, assuming $5.1 million of 7.35%
fixed rate debt maturing in the year 2005, and borrowing the
remaining amount under the Company's unsecured credit facility. 
The credit enhancement on the $5.7 million variable rate debt
expires in November 1998 and is guaranteed by the Company.

3.   Transactions with Affiliates

     On June 22, 1998, the Company acquired the 1% general
partner interest in a limited partnership which owns a
504-unit apartment property in Austin, Texas.  At that time, the Company
loaned $1.5 million to the partnership which was used to
refinance the first mortgage indebtedness on the property.  The
note requires monthly payments of excess cash flow from the property and
matures on January 1, 2009.

4.   Mortgage Notes Payable

     During the first six months of 1998, the Company refinanced
$45.5 million and $12.5 million of the Company's variable rate,
tax-exempt mortgage indebtedness and extended the related
mortgage loan and credit enhancement maturity to February 15,
2028 and January 15, 2023, respectively.

     On March 25, 1998, $78.1 million of conventional fixed-rate
mortgage notes were refinanced with $110.0 million of fixed-rate
debt, of which $80.0 million of such debt bears interest at 6.62%
and matures in March 2007 and the remaining $30.0 million bears
interest at 7.22% and matures in June 2016.  Of the excess
financing proceeds, $20 million was used to repay a portion of the
Company's credit facility.

     On April 14, 1998, the Company repaid $7.2 million of
variable rate indebtedness related to one property.

5.   Stockholders' Equity and Minority Interests

     Minority Interests

     In connection with certain apartment property acquisitions,
certain partnership subsidiaries of the Company have issued
Common Operating Partnership ("OP") Units and Preferred OP Units
which are exchangeable into the Company's common stock and 9.00%
redeemable preferred stock, with detachable warrants, respectively.
The holders of the Preferred OP Units are entitled to receive
quarterly distributions of $0.5625 per unit and the holders of
the Common OP Units are entitled to receive quarterly distributions
equal to those paid on the Company's common stock.  A portion of
the Common OP Units that are exchangeable into 810,128 shares of
the Company's common stock are entitled to receive quarterly
distributions of a minimum of $369,000 in the aggregate.  All OP
Unit securities have been recorded as minority interests in the
accompanying balance sheets.  On June 15, 1998, an additional
20,621 Common OP Units were issued at the market price of the
Company's common stock on such date ($24.50) per unit to adjust
the purchase price of the October 1, 1997 acquisition of the
assets and business of Drever Partners, Inc. and its affiliates.
On June 30, 1998, the Company purchased 5,503 minority interest
securities at $24.50 (the market price of the Company's common
stock on the purchase date).  As of June 30, 1998, the Company
had 1,999,909 Preferred OP Units and 11,192,022 Common OP Units
outstanding.

     Public Offering

     On February 19, 1998, the Company issued 323,232 shares of
its common stock at $23.515 per share for net proceeds of
approximately $7.6 million.

     Restricted Stock

     In February 1997, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive
Plan to attract and retain individuals to serve as directors,
officers and employees of the Company.  Pursuant to this plan, the
Company has issued 5,206 restricted shares of common stock
("Restricted Stock") during the six months ended June 30, 1998,
for $0.01 per share to two of its executive officers and its six outside
directors.  The shares issued vest ratably over a three-year and
one-year period, respectively.  Deferred compensation on Restricted
Stock was computed based upon the market value of the shares
at the date of issuance.  This deferred compensation is being
amortized over the respective vesting periods.

     Officer Notes for Stock Purchases

     On February 17, 1998, the Company implemented a new officer
loan program allowing officers to purchase the Company's common
stock at current market prices and to exercise vested
stock options with the assistance of loans from the Company. 
Under this program, officers are eligible to purchase stock on March 1
and September 1 of each year in an aggregate amount of up
to three times the officer's annual salary.  A cash payment of 5%
to 15% of the purchase price is required by the officer, depending
upon the amount of the purchase, with the remainder loaned on
a full recourse basis to the officer.  Each loan is evidenced by
a note with a five-year term, requiring quarterly payments of
interest only at a fixed interest rate equal to the Company's then
current interest rate under its credit facility.  The loan is secured
by a pledge of the shares of common stock purchased by each officer
pursuant to such loan.

     On March 2, 1998, the Company issued loans to 25 officers
under the officer loan program in the amount of approximately $3.6
million, bearing interest at 7%.  Such loans related to the
issuance of 138,692 shares of the Company's common stock at
$24.75 per share (the closing price of the common stock on the
New York Stock Exchange for the previous trading day) and the
exercise of 26,192 common stock options at a stock option grant
price of $19.25 per share. 

     Shareholder Rights Plan

     On March 26, 1998, the Company adopted a shareholder rights
plan (the "Plan") designed to assure that all stockholders receive
fair treatment in the event of a proposed acquisition.  The key
provisions of the Plan is a mechanism that will distribute, for
each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock, one right
that becomes exercisable upon the occurrence of certain events.

     The Plan entails a dividend of one right for each
outstanding share of the Company's common stock.  Each right will
entitle the holder to buy one one-hundredth of a share of a new
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, at an exercise
price of $70.00 per share.  The rights will trade with the
Company's common stock until exercisable and will expire on
April 20, 2008.  The rights will not be exercisable until ten
days following a public announcement that a person or
group has acquired 15% or more of the Company's common stock or
until ten business days after a person or group begins a tender
offer that would result in ownership of 15% or more of the
Company's common stock, subject to certain extensions by the
Board.  On April 20, 1998, the Company issued a dividend of one
right for each share of common stock owned by stockholders of
record as of April 7, 1998.  Effective April 8, 1998, each share
of the Company's common stock has one right attached to it.

     Associate Stock Purchase Plan

     Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted an Associate
Stock Purchase Plan.  This plan allows Company employees to
purchase on a quarterly basis shares of the Company's common stock
at a 15% discount.

     Stock Repurchase Program

     On June 4, 1998, the Company adopted a Stock Repurchase
Program.  This program authorizes the Company to purchase up to
2.5 million shares of the Company's common stock.  This
is in addition to the prior stock repurchase program, announced
July 11, 1997, authorizing the Company to purchase up to 1.0 million
shares of its common stock by December 31, 1998.  The Company
repurchased 572,000 shares of its outstanding common stock in
May and June of 1998, leaving 2.6 million shares authorized for
repurchase under both programs at June 30, 1998.

     Distributions

     In March 1998 and June 1998, the Company paid distributions
of $12.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively, to stockholders
of record on February 18, 1998, and May 18, 1998, respectively.
The common stockholders were paid $0.4825 per share; the 9.16% Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stockholders were paid $0.5725 per share and
the 9.20% Senior Preferred Stockholders were paid $0.575 per share.

     The Company paid distributions of $5.4 million on the Common
OP Units (which represented $0.4825 per unit) and $1.1 million on
the Preferred OP Units (which represented $0.5625 per unit) in both
March and June.

6.   Net Income per Share of Common Stock

     Basic net income per share has been computed by dividing net
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income
per share has been computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted  average  number  of  common
shares outstanding  plus potential dilutive common share equivalents.

     The following table presents information necessary to
calculate basic and diluted net income per share for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands, except
per share amounts):

7.   Pro Forma Statements of Income

     The following unaudited condensed pro forma information for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was prepared from the
financial statements of the Company by adjusting for the
effect of the 1997 acquisition of 21,467 apartment units at a
cost of $799.2 million, the 1998 property acquisitions described in
Note 2 herein, and debt incurred in connection with these property
acquisitions as if all of these transactions had occurred on
January 1, 1997. 

     The following information is not necessarily indicative of
what the performance would have been had the Company owned these
properties for the entire period, nor does it purport to represent
future results of operations of the Company.  (In thousands,

8.   Commitments and Contingencies

     On February 27, 1998, the Company entered into a joint
venture agreement with The Grupe Company whereby The Grupe Company
will construct and the Company will later purchase, two
Sacramento, California area properties with a combined total of
616 apartment units.  The Company is committed to purchase 100% of
the properties for approximately $47 million upon the completion
of construction and the achievement of certain targeted net
operating income amounts.  This purchase is anticipated to occur
sometime in late 1999.  As of June 30, 1998, The Grupe Company
has spent approximately $8.5 million, consisting primarily of
permits and professional fees, for both properties.  

     As of June 30, 1998, the Company had executed contracts to
sell four of its apartment properties held for sale, containing an
aggregate of 1,151 units, for an aggregate sales price of $37.6
million.  The closing is anticipated to occur in August 1998.

9.   Subsequent Events

     On July 1, 1998, the Company executed a contract to purchase
South Green Apartments, a 268-unit apartment community located in
Houston, Texas.  The purchase contract in the amount of
$9.5 million is anticipated to be consummated in August 1998.

     On July 29, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to
loan $5.0 million to the Greystone Group, Inc., an unrelated
third-party, to purchase 260,082 net rentable square feet of land
in Chandler, Arizona.  The loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR
plus 1.50%, is secured by a mortgage loan on the property and a
guarantee by The Greystone Group, Inc., and is generally due
upon the earlier of completion of construction and subsequent
purchase by the Company or substitution of a third-party lender.
The Company anticipates entering into a purchase agreement
with the Greystone Group, Inc. in August 1998, whereby The
Greystone Group, Inc. will construct a 272-unit apartment
community on the land described herein.  The Company will be
committed to purchase the property for approximately $21.3 million
upon completion of construction and the achievement of certain
targeted occupancy levels, anticipated to occur sometime in late 1999.

     On July 29, 1998, the Company executed a contract to acquire
a 286-unit apartment community located in Bedford, Texas for
approximately $11.0 million.  In connection with this contract, the
Company deposited $200,000 of non-refundable earnest money.  The Company
has completed normal due diligence procedures; however, because
financing for the acquisition will not be funded until the closing date,
there is no assurance that the Company will purchase the property.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
- --------

     This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which
are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created therein. 
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 properties owned by
the Company.  The forward-looking statements included herein are based
on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.
Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect
to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult
or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the
control of the Company.  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
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.

     The Company has identified three strategic internal systems
that are vulnerable to Year 2000 computation problems.  These are
general ledger/accounts payable, on-site property accounting, and
payroll.  The Company will continue to utilize both internal and
external resources to reprogram, replace and test these systems for
the Year 2000 modifications.  The conversion to a new general
ledger/accounts payable system, which is Year 2000 compliant, is
expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 1998.  The on-site
property accounting system has been upgraded to a new release
that is Year 2000 compliant.  Payroll system options are still
being evaluated.  The Company anticipates upgrading its payroll
system during the fourth quarter of 1998 to a new release of its
current payroll software that is Year 2000 compliant.  While the
Company is actively striving to address its internal Year 2000 issues,
there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies
on which the Company's systems and processes rely will be timely
converted and will not have an adverse effect on the Company's
operations.  The Company is currently surveying its strategic
vendors of services, information and products, attempting to
identify any potential exposure in this area.  The cost of the new
general ledger/account payable system and the Year 2000 project is
estimated to be approximately $750,000, which will be funded
through cash flow from operations.

     The cost of the Year 2000 project and the estimated date of
completion of necessary modifications is based on the Company's
best estimates, which were derived from various
assumptions of future events, including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party
modification plans and other factors.  However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated.

Results of Operations     
- ---------------------

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the "Supplemental Financial and Operating Data" and all of the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997.  Such financial statements and
information included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared to reflect
the historical condensed consolidated operations of the Company
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the
condensed consolidated balance sheet data of the Company as of
June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

     The changes in revenues and expenses related to property
operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 are primarily the result of the increased number of apartment
units owned due to acquisitions of additional multifamily
properties by the Company, including 78 properties with a total of
18,118 units acquired from Drever Partners, Inc. on October 1, 1997. 
Where appropriate, comparisons are made on a dollars-per-weighted-
average-unit basis in order to adjust for changes in the number of
units owned during each period.

     The following financial and operating data (see Page 14) is
provided as supplemental information to all financial statements
included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  Such supplemental
information is unaudited except the balance sheet data as of
December 31, 1997.

(1)  Consists of property operating and maintenance and
     real estate tax expenses.

     General and administrative expenses increased $894,000 for
the second quarter of 1998, or 45.3%, from $1,972,000 for the
second quarter of 1997 to $2,866,000 for the second quarter of 1998. 
This represented a per unit decrease of $82, or 23.5%, on an
annualized basis.  General and administrative expenses increased
$2,307,000 for the first six months of 1998, or 68.0%, from
$3,394,000 for the first six months of 1997 to $5,701,000 for the
first six months of 1998.  This represents a per unit decrease of
$40, or 13.0%, on an annualized basis.  This per unit decrease is
primarily due to increased operating efficiencies.  The increases
in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to
increased properties owned which resulted in increased salary costs
and occupancy costs for additional corporate and regional office
space.

     Interest expense increased $8,130,000 for the second quarter
of 1998, or 155.0%, from $5,244,000 for the second quarter of 1997
to $13,374,000 for the second quarter of 1998.  Interest
expense increased $16,567,000 for the first six months of 1998,
or 163.7%, from $10,121,000 for the first six months of 1997 to
$26,688,000 for the first six months of 1998.  The increases were
primarily due to indebtedness incurred on properties acquired
during 1997.

     Depreciation expense increased $7,908,000 for the second
quarter of 1998, or 116.4%, from $6,793,000 for the second quarter
of 1997 to $14,701,000 for the second quarter of 1998. 
Depreciation increased $15,914,000 for the first six months of
1998, or 121.3%, from $13,121,000 for the first six months of
1997 to $29,035,000 for the first six months of 1998.  The increases were
due to depreciation on additional properties acquired and capital
improvements on existing properties.

     The $104,000 extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment in
1998 was due to prepayment penalties incurred in connection with
the Company's payoff of a $7.2 million mortgage loan in April
1998, and the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs
related to the refinancing of certain of the Company's indebtedness
during the first and second quarter of 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company's principal demands for liquidity are
distributions to its stockholders, property operating and
maintenance costs, capital improvements to its properties,
acquisitions of properties, interest on indebtedness and debt
repayments.

     During the first six months of 1998, the Company had cash
flows from operating activities of $31.6 million and proceeds
from stock offerings of $12.4 million, including $3.3 million from its
dividend reinvestment plan.  These funds, in addition to $35.7
million of net proceeds from mortgage notes and the Company's
credit facility,  were used during the period primarily to pay for $5.1
million of the total acquisition cost of two apartment properties
(containing 376 units), distributions to stockholders and unit holders
of $37.3 million, capital improvements to properties of $20.2
million, financing costs of $3.2 million, principal payments of
$2.6 million, and the purchase of 572,000 shares of the Company's
common stock for $14.0 million.  As a result, the Company had
a net decrease in cash of $3.2 million. 

     The Company has a $150 million unsecured credit facility
(the "Credit Facility"), which expires in February 1999.  The Credit
Facility has been used to finance property acquisitions,
including capital improvements, and to meet short-term liquidity
requirements.  As of June 30, 1998, the unused amount of the Credit
Facility was $65 million.  The availability of funds to the Company
under the Credit Facility is subject, however, to certain 
borrowing base and other customary covenants.

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased $8.3
million for the first six months of 1998 compared to the same
period in 1997.  Cash flow from operating activities before changes in
operating accounts increased $21.2 million, primarily due to an
increased number of units owned, which was offset by a $12.9 million
decrease in the net effect of changes in operating accounts.  The
net decrease in operating accounts resulted primarily from an
increase in the payment of real estate taxes and funding of
escrow deposits.

     As of June 30, 1998, net cash used in investing activities
was $25.3 million, compared to $67.3 million for the same period in
1997.  Of the $25.3 million, the Company spent $5.1 million
to purchase two apartment properties and $20.2 million for real
estate asset additions. 

     Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $29.7
million for the first six months of 1998 compared to the same
period in 1997.  The decrease is primarily due to the repurchase of
572,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate
price of $14.0 million in 1998 and increased distributions to
stockholders and minority interest holders.

     The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements, including capital expenditures related to maintenance
and improvements of its properties, through cash flow provided
by operations and when necessary will utilize unused portions of
its Credit Facility to meet working capital needs.  Historically,
the cash provided by operating activities has been adequate to meet both
its operating requirements and distribution payments; however,
the Company's current repositioning program will require borrowings
under the Credit Facility to fund capital improvements.  During the
first six months of 1998, the Company has spent $10.7 million for
recurring and non-recurring capital items, and $9.5 million for
repositioning and acquisition rehabilitation costs.  Recurring and
non-recurring capital expenditures and repositioning and
rehabilitation on acquisition properties are
anticipated to be approximately $8.0 million and $16.1 million,
respectively, for the remainder of 1998.

     The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity
requirements, such as refinancing mortgage indebtedness and
property acquisitions, including capital improvements on property
acquisitions through long-term borrowings, both secured and
unsecured, and the issuance of debt or equity securities.

     As of June 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding
indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of $746.3 million,
consisting of fixed rate debt of $397.7 million and variable rate debt of
$348.6 million.  The weighted average interest rate and weighted
average years to maturity on the Company's outstanding indebtedness
at June 30, 1998 were approximately 7.3% and 7.5 years, respectively.

Funds from Operations
- ---------------------

   Management of the Company generally considers funds from
operations ("FFO") an appropriate measure of the performance of
an equity real estate investment trust.  FFO is defined as
net income (determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation of real
estate assets, and income allocated to minority interests.  The
Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear
understanding of its operating results, FFO should be examined in
conjunction with net income as presented herein.  FFO does
not represent cash generated from operating, investing and financing
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to
fund cash needs and cash distributions.  FFO should not be considered
as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) as an indication of the
Company's performance or as an alternative to cash flow
(determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles) as a measure of liquidity.

     The Company calculates FFO in a manner consistent with that
recommended by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts; however, the Company's FFO is not necessarily
comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs. 
FFO for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
are as follows (unaudited):

(1)  Distributions on convertible preferred stock are added back
     in computing funds from operations since the conversion to
     common shares has been assumed.

(2)  Excludes distributions on the preferred operating partnership
     units, which are not added back in computing funds from
     operations ($1,125 per quarter for 1998).

Inflation
- ---------

     The Company leases apartments under lease terms generally
ranging from six to 12 months.  Management believes that such
short-term lease contracts lessen the impact of inflation on the cost
of property operations, as well as allows for the adjustment of
rental rates to market levels as leases expire.
