                       ------------------------------
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 as of December 31, 1998
and 1997 and September 30, 1997 and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, the three
month period ended December 31, 1997 and the year ended September 30, 1997.
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 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.

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 at December 31, 1998 and 1997 and September
30, 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1998, the three month period ended December 31, 1997 and
the year ended September 30, 1997 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 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.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following description of the Walden Residential Properties, Inc. 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.  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).

     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.  As a result of the Plan's
     restatement, effective December 31, 1997, the Plan year was changed to a
     calendar year.

     Contributions

     Prior to October 1, 1997, participants could contribute up to 15% of
     pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan.  Effective October 1,
     1997, the maximum participant contribution was increased to 20% of
     eligible compensation.  The Company makes a discretionary matching
     contribution (the "Matching Contribution").  For the Plan year ended
     December 31, 1998, the three month period ended December 31, 1997 and
     the year ended September 30, 1997, the matching contribution represented
     50% of participant's contributions up to 6% of eligible compensation.
     Effective October 1, 1997, the Matching Contributions was changed to a
     quarterly funding rather than annual funding.

     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.

     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.  Prior to October 1, 1997, vesting occurred in accordance with
     the following table:

     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.
     The following are descriptions of the investment options, as
     described in the related fund prospectus.

     Mainstay Money Market Fund -  Invests in short-term dollar-denominated
     securities maturing  in 397 days (13 months) or less which provides as
     high a level of current income as is considered consistent with the
     preservation of capital and liquidity.

     Mainstay Capital Appreciation Fund - Invests in a portfolio of equity
     securities with a focus on long-term growth of capital.  Dividend income,
     if any, is an incidental consideration.

     Mainstay Convertible Fund -  Invests in a portfolio of convertible and
     equity securities with a focus on capital appreciation together with
     current income.

     Mainstay Value Fund -  Invests in equity securities geared to maximize
     long-term total return from a combination of capital growth and income.

     Mainstay High Yield Corporate Bond Fund -  Invests in a diversified
     portfolio of high yield debt securities with a focus on maximum income
     with capital appreciation as a  secondary objective.

     Mainstay Total Return Fund -  Invests in a portfolio of equity and debt
     securities with the objective of realizing current income consistent
     with reasonable opportunity for future growth of capital and income.

     Mainstay Government Fund -  Invests in primarily government securities
     with the objective of a high level of current income, consistent with
     safety of the principal.

     Walden Residential Properties, Inc. Common Stock Fund ("Walden Stock Fund")
      - Funds are invested in the common stock of Walden.

     Participants may change or transfer their investments options daily.

     Effective January 1, 1998, Mainstay Convertible Fund was no longer an
     option for participants.  In addition, participants may direct employee
     contributions in the following two new investment options.

     Janus Fund - Invests primarily in common stocks selected for their growth
     potential. Although the Fund can invest in companies of any size, it
     generally invests in larger, more established companies.

     Janus Worldwide Fund - Invests primarily in common stocks for companies
     of any size throughout the world.  The Fund normally invests in issuers
     from at least five different countries, including the United States.
     The fund may at times invest in fewer than five countries
     or even a single country.

     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 December 31, 1998
     was $13,212.  No amounts were payable at December 31, 1997 or 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 period. The mutual funds are valued at quoted
     market prices which represent the net asset values of shares held by the
     Plan at period-end.

     The loans to participants are valued at cost plus accrued interest which
     approximates fair value.

     Administrative Expenses

     The Plan's expenses are generally paid by Walden.  During the Plan year
     ended December 31, 1998, the three month period ended December 31, 1997
     and the year ended September 30, 1997, Walden paid $59,109, $3,948 and
     $29,756, respectively, in administrative expenses  on behalf of the Plan.
