                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Trustees of
Gables Residential Trust:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the Gables Residential Trust 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits for the year ended  December 31, 1995, and for the period from
inception  (January 25, 1994) to December 31, 1994.  These financial  statements
and the  schedules  referred  to  below  are the  responsibility  of the  Plan's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and schedules 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,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets  available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995, and for the period from inception
(January 25, 1994) to December 31, 1994, in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  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 Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have
been  subjected  to the auditing  procedures  applied in the audits of the basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION:
- --------------------

The  following  description  of the Gables  Residential  Trust  401(k) Plan (the
"Plan") is  provided  for  general  information  purposes  only.  More  complete
information regarding the Plan's provisions may be found in the Plan document.

General
- -------

The Plan is a  defined  contribution  retirement  plan  which  became  effective
January  25,  1994,  and  was  established  by  Gables  Residential  Trust  (the
"Company")  under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code
(the  "Code"),  which  includes a  qualified  cash or  deferred  arrangement  as
described in Section 401(k) of the Code,  for the benefit of eligible  employees
of the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

All  employees  of the Company are  eligible to  participate  in the Plan on the
first entry date  (January 1 or July 1) following the date on which the employee
has attained the age of 21 and has completed one year of service,  as defined in
the Plan document. Employees who on January 24, 1994, were employees of Trammell
Crow Company  (TCC) or an affiliate of TCC and became an employee of the Company
or an affiliate of the Company on January 25,  1994,  were  eligible to rollover
their accounts from the TCC qualified plan to the Plan and retain their years of
service credits.

Plan Administration
- -------------------

Under a trust agreement  dated January 26, 1995, and effective  January 1, 1995,
Merrill Lynch (the  "Trustee")  was appointed  trustee for the plan replacing T.
Rowe Price Trust Company (the "Trustee" for the period ended December 31, 1994).

Contributions
- -------------

Eligible  employees  were able to  contribute an amount up to 15% and 4% in 1995
and 1994,  respectively,  of their compensation as defined by the Plan document,
subject to certain  limitations  under the Code. The Company provided a matching
contribution equal to 50% and 75% in 1995 and 1994,  respectively,  on the first
4% of each participant's contribution.  The total maximum allowable contribution
to the Plan under the Code from employee sources was $9,240 in 1995 and 1994.

Vesting
- -------

Participants  are fully  vested  in their  contributions  and the  earnings
thereon.  Employees who were  employed by TCC,  Avalon  Properties,  Inc. or any
affiliate of either such company and were hired by the Company prior to January
1, 1995,  will be vested  after two years of service.  Subsequent  to January 1,
1995, all new employees are subject to a three-year  vesting  schedule for their
employer  matching  contributions.  Forfeitures for 1995 and 1994 totaled $6,957
and $1,215, respectively. The 1994 forfeiture amount was used to reduce 1994 and
1995 employer  contributions.  The 1995 forfeiture amount will be used to offset
1996 employer contributions.

Benefits
- --------

Upon  termination of service due to death,  total and permanent  disability,  or
retirement,  a participant  may elect to receive an amount equal to the value of
the  participant's  vested  interest  in his  or her  account  and  any  related
earnings. The form of distribution is either a lump-sum payment, a rollover into
another qualified plan, or a combination of the two.

Participant Accounts
- --------------------

Individual  accounts  are  maintained  for each of the  Plan's  participants  to
reflect  the   participant's   contributions   and  related  employer   matching
contributions as well as the participant's share of the Plan's income. Income is
allocated ratably based on each participant's account balance.
<PAGE>

Investment Options
- ------------------

Participants were able to direct their  contributions and any related earnings
into five  investment  options in 1995,  and seven  investment  options in 1994.
Participants may change their investment  elections at any time. Under the terms
of the Plan, employer matching  contributions are invested in the same funds and
at the same  percentages  as those  chosen  by the  participant  for  their  own
contributions. Due to the change in trustees in January 1995, all new investment
options were provided in 1995. A brief  description of each investment option is
provided below for both 1995 and 1994:
