                                  PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

     AMLI Residential Properties Trust ("AMLI" or the "Company") is a self-
administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a "REIT")
engaged in the development, acquisition and management of upscale,
institutional quality multifamily apartment communities in seven major
metropolitan markets in the Southeast, Southwest and Midwest regions of the
United States.  Founded in 1980, AMLI became a publicly traded company
through an initial public offering ("Initial Offering") in February, 1994.

     As part of its core strategy, AMLI differentiates itself through an
internal growth strategy focused on branding its product and services, an
external growth strategy balanced between both development and acquisition,
geographic diversification in three regions and seven core cities, and
accessing capital from both the public markets and from co-investment
relationships with institutional partners.  Since its initial public
offering, the Company has formed strategic alliances with five
institutional investors in 13 separate institutional joint ventures
representing a total anticipated investment of approximately $300 million.
At December 31, 1996, properties owned by four of these joint ventures were
under development; completion costs for these properties totalled
approximately $44 million.

     As of December 31, 1996, AMLI owned or had co-investment interests in
45 multifamily apartment communities (the "Communities") comprised of
16,229 apartment homes.  Thirty-five of these communities, totalling 13,501
apartment homes, were stabilized as of December 31, 1996.  An additional 10
locations were under development or in lease-up at that date (the
"Development Communities").  When completed, these Development Communities
will total 2,728 apartment homes.  In addition, the Company owns land for
the future development of six additional communities totalling
approximately 2,418 apartment homes.

     AMLI is the sole general partner of, and controls a majority of the
limited partnership interests in, Amli Residential Properties, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") through which it
owns its interests in the Communities.  As of December 31, 1996, the
Company owned 84% of the outstanding partnership interests ("OP Units") in
the Operating Partnership.  OP Units are convertible into Common Shares on
a one-for-one basis.  The Company conducts all its business through the
Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

     The Company's headquarters offices are located at 125 S. Wacker Drive,
Suite 3100, Chicago, Illinois 60606, and its telephone number is (312) 443-
1477.  In addition, AMLI has regional offices in both Dallas and Atlanta.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

     The Company seeks to increase cash flow by intensively managing the
Communities, selectively developing and acquiring additional high-quality
multifamily communities and advising and co-investing with institutional
partners.  In pursuit of these strategies, the Company benefits from the
following competitive advantages:

     DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION EXPERTISE.  AMLI has extensive experience
in both the acquisition and development of upscale multifamily communities.

AMLI focuses on institutional quality multifamily communities having high-
quality construction, amenities, location and market position.  The Company
believes that over time these communities will realize returns exceeding
national averages for multifamily properties due to higher expected annual
growth in cash flows, reduced on-going maintenance costs and capital
expenditures, and higher relative levels of residual values.  The Company
applies a long-term ownership perspective to the development process,
utilizing high-quality building materials and designs communities which




satisfy the current needs of residents and anticipate their future needs. 
AMLI acquires assets at times when capitalization rates are attractive and
enhanced performance from the target communities is possible through
application of the Company's management expertise.

     INSTITUTIONAL CO-INVESTMENTS.  AMLI actively acquires and develops
multifamily communities in co-investment joint ventures with institutional
investment partners such as insurance companies, endowments, foundations,
and public and private pension funds.  The Company believes that co-
investment partnerships create an opportunity to leverage the Company's
acquisition, development and management expertise and generate higher
returns on its invested equity capital.  Since its initial public offering,
and through December 31, 1996, AMLI has formed 13 such co-investment joint
ventures, several of which involve new development, representing a total
anticipated project cost of approximately $300 million.  The Company's
invested capital in these 13 joint ventures is expected to total
approximately $40.6 million.  In connection with its co-investment
business, the Company has established strategic alliances with Allstate
Insurance Company, Erie Insurance Group, The New York Common Retirement
Fund, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and The Rockefeller
Foundation.

     AMLI <registered trademark> BRAND.  All of the Communities are
operated by the Company under the AMLI <registered trademark> brand name.
AMLI believes promoting its brand name creates an awareness in the
marketplace of quality rental living and extraordinary customer service for
both current and prospective residents.  To maximize the effectiveness of
the AMLI <registered trademark> brand name, the Company has a wide range of
programs and practices to maintain uniformly high quality service and
consistent apartment quality at all of the Communities.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     Since the Initial Offering, the Company has expanded its portfolio of
Communities through the acquisition, development and selective expansion of
its apartment communities.

DEVELOPMENT

     At the time of the Initial Offering, the Company and its predecessors
had not begun the development of a new multifamily community for five
years.  Since that time, the development pipeline has grown extensively. 
Approximately 50% of the 3,686 apartment homes developed or under
development by the Company have been built with a co-investment partner and
the other 50% have been developed or are under development solely for the
Company.  As used herein, the "Company Development Communities" means
Communities under development by the Company for its own account and the
"Co-Investment Communities" refers to Communities under development on
behalf of the Company's co-investment joint ventures.

     The tables set forth below, summarize the following information
related to the Company Development Communities and the Co-Investment
Development Communities:  (i) the name and location of the community; (ii)
the number of apartment homes to be constructed at each community; (iii)
the percentage completion of the community as of December 31, 1996 and the
projected completion date of each community; (iv) the anticipated
development cost of each community and the amount thereof expended as of
December 31, 1996; and (v) with respect to each Co-Investment Development
Community, the Company's percentage ownership interest therein and the name
of the joint venture partner.  The Company Development Communities and Co-
Investment Development Communities exclude AMLI at Sope Creek Crossing IV,
a 232 apartment home community, which was completed as of December 31,
1995, AMLI at AutumnChase II, a 224 apartment home community, which was
completed in June 1996 and AMLI at Pleasant Hill, a 502 apartment home
community, which was completed in August 1996.

     The Company believes that the operating prospects for the Communities
under development remain favorable based on current economic and other
conditions existing in the areas in which the Company's development
activities are focused.  As with any development project, there are
uncertainties and risks associated with development.  While the Company has
prepared development budgets and has estimated completion and stabilization
target dates for each of the Development Communities based on what it
believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual
costs will not exceed current budgets or that the Company will not
experience construction delays due to the inability of building materials,
weather conditions or other events beyond the Company's control. 
Similarly, adverse market conditions at the time that the Development
Communities become available for leasing could affect the rental rates that
may be charged and the period necessary to achieve stabilization at the
Development Communities, which could have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition of the affected Development Communities.

CO-INVESTMENT VENTURES

     In November 1995, the Company, through a co-investment joint venture,
began construction of the 446 apartment home community AMLI at Barrett
Lakes on 54 acres of land located in Atlanta, Georgia.  Of the total
estimated development costs of $27.8 million, the co-venturer has provided
$16.7 million of construction and permanent financing for this development,
and the remaining costs are being funded from the Company's and the co-
investor's equity contributions.

     In December 1995, the Company began construction of AMLI at River
Park, a 222 apartment home community in Atlanta, Georgia.  In June 1996,
this community was contributed to a co-investment joint venture.  Of the
$15.4 million estimated development costs, the co-venturer provided $9.1
million in the form of a loan and the remaining costs are being funded from
equity contributions from the Company and its co-investment partner.

     In September 1996, AMLI closed on two separate joint ventures with The
New York Common Retirement Fund ("NYCRF") for the development of two multi-
family residential communities.  Through these ventures, the Company is
currently developing a 272 apartment home community in metropolitan
Chicago, Illinois and a 384 apartment home community in Ft. Worth, Texas. 
Construction of each of these Development Communities had been commenced
earlier in the year by AMLI.  Construction of AMLI at Aurora Crossing, the
Development Community located in metropolitan Chicago, is projected to be
completed in August of 1997, with stabilization expected in the first
quarter of 1998.  The development budget for this Development Community is
approximately $24.5 million.  Construction of AMLI at Fossil Creek, the
Development Community located in Ft. Worth, is expected to be completed
during the first quarter of 1998, with stabilization expected in early
1999.  The development budget for this Development Community is
approximately $23.7 million.  The Company owns a 25% interest in the joint
ventures that own these Development Communities and The New York Common
Retirement Fund owns a 75% interest.

ACQUISITIONS

     In March 1996, the Company, through a co-investment joint venture with
Erie Insurance Group, acquired AMLI at Chevy Chase (formerly known as The
Lincoln Club Apartments), a 592 unit luxury apartment community located in
Buffalo Grove, Illinois, for a purchase price of approximately $45 million.

Approximately $30 million of the purchase price was financed through 6.67%
per annum, seven year mortgage debt.  The AMLI at Chevy Chase Community was
constructed in 1988 and contains 480,688 square feet in 19 two-story and 17
three-story buildings.  This Community is set on 43.2 acres of land and has
a clubhouse, two heated swimming pools, four tennis courts and a state-of-
the-art fitness center.  The Company owns a 33% interest and Erie Insurance
Group owns a 67% interest in the joint venture that owns this Community.





     In April 1996, AMLI further expanded its presence in metropolitan
Chicago through the acquisition of AMLI at Willowbrook (formerly Stewart's
Glen Apartments) through a joint venture with Allstate Insurance Company
for approximately $36 million.  Approximately $24.5 million of the purchase
price was financed through 7.79% per annum, seven year mortgage debt.  AMLI
at Willowbrook is a 488 unit luxury garden apartment community located in
Willowbrook, Illinois.  This Community was constructed in three phases,
with Phase I having been completed in 1985 and Phases II and III in 1987. 
AMLI at Willowbrook contains 418,384 square feet in 59 two-story buildings.

This Community is set on 36.5 acres of land and has two clubhouses, two
start-of-the-art fitness centers, an aerobics room, two swimming pools, a
tennis court, a volleyball court and laundry facilities in each building. 
The Company owns a 40% interest in the joint venture which owns this
Community and Allstate Insurance Company owns a 60% interest.

     On February 28, 1997, AMLI, through a co-investment venture with the
State Teachers Retirement Board of Ohio ("OTR"), acquired a 600 apartment
home community in Wheaton, Illinois for approximately $48.8 million.  The
seller provided a ten-year $24.5 million loan with interest at 7.33%.  AMLI
owns a 10% interest and OTR owns a 90% interest in AMLI at Danada, L.L.C.,
the co-investment company that acquired this community.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

     During 1996, the Company continued to improve its balance sheet,
capital structure and financing flexibility.  In the first quarter, AMLI
directly issued to four institutions and Amli Realty Co. ("ARC") 1,200,000
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest for
$20 per share, or $24 million.  The proceeds of the offering, less $82,500
of transaction costs, were used to reduce the Company's debt and to fund
development and working capital requirements.  The preferred shares are
entitled to a preference upon liquidation of the Company and cumulative
quarterly dividends equal to the greater of $0.43 per share or the current
quarterly per share dividend on Common Shares.  In March of 1996, ARC
converted the 100,000 preferred shares acquired by it into Common Shares.

     During the fourth quarter, the Company completed a public offering of
2,976,900 common shares priced at $21.75 per share.  The total shares
issued included the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option. 
Proceeds totalled approximately $61 million (net of 5.75% in commissions
and expenses) and were used to repay approximately $46 million of floating
rate debt, to prepay a $4.8 million fixed rate mortgage loan, and to
provide approximately $10 million of working capital for future development
and acquisition activities.  Upon completion of the offering, the Company's
floating rate debt consisted of $7.5 million outstanding on its $97.5
million lines of credit with Wachovia Bank, First National Bank of Chicago
("First Chicago") and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, and $40.75 million in
tax-exempt bonds.

     During the second quarter, three long-term fixed-rate loans were
closed and two medium-term loans were simultaneously repaid.  The Company
closed two seven year fixed rate loans with CIGNA Investments, Inc.
("CIGNA") in the aggregate principal amount of $42 million that carry an
average interest rate of 7.31% per annum.  In April, AMLI obtained a ten
year loan with the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") in an
aggregate principal amount of approximately $44 million.  This loan carries
a fixed-rate of interest of 7.79% per annum.  In connection with these
fixed rate financings, two medium term loans with an aggregate outstanding
balance of approximately $65 million were prepaid.  As a result of these
transactions, as of December 31, 1996, the weighted average maturity of the
Company's outstanding indebtedness is approximately 5.5 years, the weighted
average interest rate is 6.99% and four previously mortgaged wholly-owned
Communities are unencumbered at December 31, 1996.





     During June 1996, AMLI renegotiated its line of credit with Wachovia
Bank (the "Wachovia Line").  The line is used for general working capital
needs and to fund construction of development properties.  The line was
increased in size from $50 million to $60 million and the interest rate on
the facility was reduced to LIBOR plus 1.65% for borrowings secured by
communities under development and to LIBOR plus 1.35% for borrowings
secured by stabilized communities.  As of December 31, 1996, a total of
$7.5 million was outstanding under this facility.

     During 1996, the Company transferred a bank line of credit to First
Chicago from another financial institution and subsequently expanded it
from $27.5 million to $29.5 million.  At this time, First Chicago is in the
process of amending the line of credit to expand the line by approximately
$11.5 to $41 million.  The interest rate on this amended line of credit
will be the same as the interest rate on the Wachovia Bank line of credit.

UICI INVESTMENT

     On November 6, 1996, UICI, a NASDAQ National Market traded holding
company with interests in insurance, financial services and technology and
total assets of approximately $1.2 billion, acquired, through a stock for
stock exchange, all the outstanding capital stock of ARC, a predecessor of
the Company and the Company's largest shareholder.  Separately, on November
4, 1996, UICI, through one of its affiliates, acquired 500,000 Common
Shares from an existing shareholder of the Company.  As a result of these
transactions, UICI beneficially owns approximately 14.5% of the Company. 
The Chairman of UICI and its largest shareholder, Ronald L. Jensen, has had
an association with members of AMLI's senior management for over 20 years,
was one of ARC's original founders, and served on its Board of Directors
from 1980 through 1982.

     ARC has informed the Company that it agreed to effect the exchange
with UICI in order to provide liquidity to its shareholders, approximately
60% of whom are not Trustees, officers or employees of the Company, and to
once again involve Mr. Jensen in the ownership and strategic direction of
ARC.

     At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Company held on October
28, 1996, the Company exempted UICI and its affiliates from the ownership
limitations in the Company's Declaration of Trust.  As a result of this
action, UICI and Gregory T. Mutz, the Chairman of the Company's Board of
Trustees, may collectively own up to 34.9% of the outstanding shares of
beneficial interest of the Company and UICI and Mr. Mutz may individually
own 29.9% and 24.9%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of beneficial
interest of the Company, subject to the group restrictions.  Further, UICI,
as an affiliate of ARC, is exempt from the "business combinations" and 
"control share acquisition" restrictions of the Maryland General
Corporation Law.


THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

     The Company carries on its business through the Operating Partnership
and its affiliates, Amli Management Company ("AMC"), Amli Residential
Construction, Inc. ("Amrescon") and Amli Institutional Advisors, Inc.
("AIA") (collectively the "Service Companies").  The Company is the sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership, through which it owns the Properties, interests in co-
investment properties and interests in the Service Companies.  At December
31, 1996, the Company owned an 84% partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership, 10% was held by ARC and 6% was held by certain other third
party investors.  The Company's interest in the Operating Partnership
entitles it to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and
losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company's
percentage ownership (apart from tax allocations of profits and losses to




take into account pre-contribution property appreciation).  In connection
with each offering of the Company's Common Shares by the Company, the net
proceeds from the issuance of any such common shares of the Company are
contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a corresponding
number of OP Units.  The Company holds one unit in the Operating
Partnership for each common share that it has issued.  The OP Units issued
to Amli and certain Original Investors are convertible into common shares
on a one-for-one basis.

     As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has
the exclusive power under the agreement of limited partnership of the
Operating Partnership to manage and conduct the business of the Operating
Partnership.  The Board of Trustees of the Company manages the affairs of
the Company by directing the affairs of the Operating Partnership.  The
Operating Partnership will terminate in the year 2093 unless terminated
earlier in connection with, among other things, a merger or a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership or upon a
vote of the partners.

THE SERVICE COMPANIES

     The management, institutional advisory and construction management
businesses of the Company are conducted through AMC, AIA and Amrescon,
respectively, because, among other things, the third-party income from
their respective businesses might jeopardize the Company's REIT status
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code if such operations were carried
on directly by the Operating Partnership.  The Operating Partnership holds
100% of the nonvoting preferred stock of each of the Service Companies and
also holds certain subordinated notes of AMC and AIA.  The nonvoting
preferred stock is entitled to dividends equal to 95% of all distributions
of the Service Companies.  ARC holds 95% of the voting common stock of each
of the Service Companies which, in each case, is generally entitled to
dividends equal to 4.75% of all distributions.  The remaining 5% of the
voting common stock of each of the Service Companies, entitled to .25% of
all distributions, is owned by the Operating Partnership.  The charter of
each of the Service Companies requires the quarterly distribution as
dividends of the "net operating cash flow" (as defined in each such
charter) of each such Service Company, if there are funds legally available
for dividends.  Such provision of the charter of each of the Service
Companies may not be changed without the consent of the holders of the
preferred stock.  Accordingly, the Operating Partnership is entitled to
receive substantially all of the available net cash flow from each of the
Service Companies through ownership of the preferred stock thereof and the
subordinated notes, and thereby enjoys substantially all of the economic
benefit of the businesses carried on by such companies.

     According to the charter of each of the Service Companies, a majority
of the members of the board of directors of the respective Service Company
must be individuals who are not officers, directors or employees of AMLI,
and all contracts for services between a Service Company and AMLI must be
approved by a majority of the unaffiliated directors of the relevant
Service Company.  Ownership of 95% of the voting common stock will enable
ARC to control the election of the board of directors (including the
unaffiliated directors) of the Service Companies.  The holders of a
majority of the nonvoting preferred stock of each Service Company are
entitled to an approval right with respect to certain fundamental corporate
actions, including the issuance of any additional shares of preferred stock
or other senior securities, or a sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of the assets of, or the merger, consolidation or
dissolution of, the respective Service Company.  In addition, the Company
has a right of first refusal (which may be assigned to a third party with
the consent of ARC, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to
acquire on its own behalf or on behalf of any controlled affiliate, the
common stock of each of the Service Companies, subject to the consent of
third-party clients and to applicable law.  Such right of first refusal may
only be exercised to the extent that the ownership of such common stock or
assets would not disqualify the Company as a REIT.






THE BUSINESS OF AMC

     AMC, a Delaware corporation, provides management and leasing services
to each of the communities presently owned by the Company.  In addition,
AMC provides such services to the co-investment communities.  AMC is
expected to manage any additional multifamily communities acquired or
developed by the Operating Partnership, as well as any additional co-
investment communities acquired through separate account relationships of
AIA, subject to the consent of the co-investment partners.  Management and
leasing services are provided to the Communities and the co-investment
properties pursuant to the terms of a management contract which has an
initial term of three years and which AMC has agreed not to terminate so
long as the Operating Partnership is not in material breach of such
contract.  Residential property management and leasing services provided by
AMC are performed at market rates.

THE BUSINESS OF AIA

     AIA, an Illinois corporation, renders investment advice to
institutional capital sources, primarily pension plans, endowments,
foundations and insurance companies.  AIA intends to continue to develop
its institutional investment advisory business and will continue to manage
and administer existing advisory relationships with institutional
investors.  The Company actively pursues co-investments through
relationships administered by AIA.  In this way, the Company seeks to
diversify the sources of capital for investments in properties.  In
addition to generating advisory fee income for AIA, these separate account
relationships have the potential to generate fee income for (1) AMC in
cases where AMC is engaged to manage the properties acquired by the co-
investment ventures and (2) Amrescon, in cases where Amrescon is engaged as
general contractor with respect to co-investment development ventures.

THE BUSINESS OF AMRESCON

     Amrescon, a Delaware corporation, provides general contracting,
construction management and landscaping services to the Company and its
managed ventures.  Amrescon is based in Atlanta, Georgia, has a regional
office in Dallas, Texas, and is engaged exclusively in the design,
development, construction and landscaping of upscale multifamily properties
on behalf of the Company.  A division of Amrescon, Amli Landscape Co.
performs all landscape installation and maintenance services for the
Communities located in Atlanta.

LEASES

     AMC uses a standard Company lease modified at each Community to the
extent necessary to comply with state and local law or custom.  The term of
a lease varies with local market conditions, however, six-month and one-
year leases are most common.  Generally, the leases provide that unless the
parties agree in writing to a renewal, the tenancy will convert at the end
of the lease term to a month-to-month tenancy, subject to the terms and
conditions of the lease, unless either party gives the other at least 30
days prior notice of termination.  All leases are terminable by the
Operating Partnership for nonpayment of rent, violation of property rules
and regulations or other specified defaults.

LEASING

     Employees of AMC are responsible for leasing activities at the
Communities.  Leasing consultants meet with prospective residents and show
models and vacant units.  The leasing consultants maintain contact with
existing residents to determine the residents' level of satisfaction with
their community.  All leasing consultants participate in a comprehensive
formal training program administered by AMC.  AMC, as it deems necessary,
may employ the services of, and pay customary fees to, unaffiliated real
estate brokers, apartment locator services and existing tenants for
locating prospective tenants.





COMPETITION

     All of the Communities are located in developed areas that include
other upscale apartment communities.  The number of competitive upscale
apartment communities in a particular area could have a material effect on
AMC's ability to lease apartment units and on the rent charged at the
Communities or at any newly developed or acquired communities.  The Company
may be competing with others that have greater resources than the Company
and whose officers and directors have more experience than the Company's
officers and Trustees.  In addition, other forms of multifamily residential
communities, and single-family housing, provide housing alternatives to
potential residents of the communities.

INSURANCE

     The Company believes that each of the Communities is covered by
adequate fire, flood and property insurance provided by reputable companies
and with commercially reasonable deductibles and limits.  The Company
maintains comprehensive liability, all-risk property insurance coverage
with respect to the Communities and with policy specifications, limits
deductibles customarily carried for similar communities.  The Company has
obtained title insurance insuring fee title to the Communities in an
aggregate amount which the Company believes to be adequate.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     Many jurisdictions have adopted laws and regulations relating to
environmental controls and the development of real estate.  Such laws and
regulations could affect the Communities and any additional communities
acquired or developed by the Company in the future and/or operate to reduce
the number and attractiveness of investment opportunities available to the
Company.  The effect upon the Company of the application of such laws and
regulations cannot be predicted.  Such laws and regulations have not had a
material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations to date.  The Company is not aware of any environmental
condition on any of the Communities, or the communities planned to be
developed by the Company which is likely to have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

EMPLOYEES

     The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Service Companies
employ a total of approximately 450 persons.  AMC employs substantially all
of the professional employees that are currently engaged in the residential
property management and leasing business on behalf of the Company.

GROWTH STRATEGIES

     The Company seeks to increase cash flow by intensively managing the
Communities, selectively developing and acquiring additional high-quality
multifamily communities, and advising and co-investing with institutional
partners.  The Company believes that, over time, a portfolio consisting of
high-quality properties, which the Company believes is typical of its
portfolio, will realize returns exceeding national averages for multifamily
properties due to expected higher annual growth in cash flows, reduced on-
going maintenance costs and capital expenditures, and higher relative
levels of residual market values.





GROWTH FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS

     The Company seeks to increase cash flow at the Communities through
rent increases while maintaining high occupancy rates and aggressive
management of its operating expenses.  As of December 31, 1996, the
weighted average occupancy rate of the stabilized Communities was 94%, and
the average monthly rental rate per apartment home was $686, or $0.80 per
square foot.  The Company owns multifamily communities with service,
lifestyle and physical amenities that residents value and that support
higher rental rates.  Typical services that are provided at the
Communities, which are customary for similar upscale multifamily
properties, include pet care or plant watering for out-of-town tenants; on-
site overnight delivery drop-off boxes; on-site pick-up of dry cleaning or
other items; occasional social events for residents designed to provide a
sense of community; frequent maintenance programs; and a policy of
guaranteeing attention to any maintenance or repair request form a tenant
within 48 hours.

     AMLI believes that a key element of its continued success is its
ability to create brand loyalty in the mind of the resident customer.  All
communities owned and operated by the Company use the AMLI [registered
trademark] brand name as part of the strategy to promote brand identity for
quality living, as well as to create franchise value.  The Company believes
that the AMLI [registered trademark] brand name creates an awareness in the
marketplace such that customers of the Company equate the AMLI [registered
trademark] brand with quality multifamily communities and exceptional
customer service.

     The Company believes the expertise and experience of its on-site
personnel are essential to the success of its brand strategy and cash flow
growth from the Communities.  A wide range of programs and practices are in
place to ensure that the Company's on-site personnel provide uniformly
high-quality service.  These programs and practices include the following:
(i) incentive-based compensation that rewards employees who achieve
superior results; (ii) extensive training programs focusing on marketing,
selling skills and negotiating techniques; (iii) requiring leasing agents
to have a strong knowledge of the Communities and competing properties;
(iv) periodic unit inspections designed to ensure that vacant apartments
are rent-ready and attractive to show; (v) a newsletter that creates a
sense of a team and gives special recognition to employees who have made
outstanding contributions or who have experienced a significant personal
event; (vi) manager training programs that focus on the financial analysis
applicable to apartment communities; (vii) development training for all
maintenance staff to further skills and knowledge of industry practices;
(viii) annual incentive group trips for managers, leasing personnel and
maintenance employees; and (ix) written manuals describing various policies
and procedures that are to be observed by employees.  In addition, the
Company has training facilities in Dallas and Atlanta that are used for
training programs and seminars for management, leasing and maintenance
employees.

     By establishing critical mass in each of its markets, the Company
expects to achieve economies of scale in its operations, resulting in
reduced operating and administrative expenses without reductions in
service.  In addition, the relatively low average age of the Communities
contributes to reduced operating and maintenance expenses.  At December 31,
1996, the average age of the stabilized Communities was 8.2 years.  The
Company also believes that attention to landscaping and physical appearance
contributes to reducing resident turnover and enhances the rental rates and
occupancy levels of the Communities.





     Additionally, AMLI has a dedicated team whose function is to evaluate
new or enhanced products, features or services that might be incorporated
in either the apartment homes or the Communities to produce complementary
income from property operations and maximize customer/resident satisfaction
within the Communities.  some of the products, features and services either
in existence or being considered include the construction of carports and
garages, private phone and cable systems, custom rental insurance, energy
efficient lighting programs, water submetering, bulk purchases of utilities
and card key systems for laundry facilities.

     DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

     The Company actively pursues the development of new properties.  The
Company seeks to develop multifamily properties that meet an identified
market demand, are well-located in markets the Company believes will
experience above-average growth rates and produce first-year stabilized
cash on cash returns of 100 to 200 basis points higher than capitalization
rates available on acquisitions in these markets.  The Company's management
has significant experience in the development of multifamily properties and
believes that this expertise will permit it to successfully capitalize on
new development opportunities.

     The Company has identified certain sub-markets within its seven
identified cities where strong multifamily property demand exceeds the
level of new construction.  The Company currently has development underway
in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Kansas City.  In addition, the Company owns
a land parcel in each of Chicago, Atlanta, Austin and Dallas, which in the
aggregate are comprised of 106 acres, on which it expects to develop
approximately 1,674 apartment homes.

     The following table summarizes the Company's development activities
for the period from the date of its initial public offering in February
1994 (the "Initial Offering") through December 31, 1996:

(1)   Represents the number of Communities for which development was
commenced during the applicable year.  Of the Communities developed by the
Company since the Initial Offering, eight Communities were developed by the
Company for its own account and five for co-investment joint ventures.  The
Company's ownership interest in these co-investment joint ventures ranges
from 25% to 40%.

(2)   The Company's share of the total estimated development budget is
expected to be $148.7 million.






     AMLI's development philosophy is to design communities and apartment
homes that meet the needs of both current and prospective residents.  The
Company builds to hold and manage for long-term investment and, as such,
utilizes high quality, long-lasting building products for exterior and
interior construction.  The Communities are extensively landscaped to
enhance curb appeal and to create an attractive living environment for the
residents.  The apartment homes are designed and appointed with features in
select units such as more closet space, larger kitchens with mirrored
backsplashes and upgraded appliance packages, nine foot ceilings, crown
molding, built-in work spaces, additional wiring to accommodate private
phone and cable systems, garden-style tubs and double vanities.

     ACQUISITION STRATEGIES

     The Company actively pursues the acquisition of new properties.  The
Company seeks to acquire, directly or through co-investments, multifamily
communities that are available at attractive prices, capable of enhanced
performance through application of the Company's management expertise and
that are in the Company's target markets.  The Company follows a strategy
of acquiring (directly or through co-investments) institutional quality
apartment communities, which typically have high-quality construction,
amenities, location and market position, and are therefore attractive
investments for institutional investors, such as insurance companies,
endowments, foundations and pension funds.

     The following table summarizes the Company's acquisition activities
for the period from the date of the Initial Offering through December 31,
1996:

(1)   Of these acquisitions, five Communities were acquired by the Company
directly and eight through co-investment joint ventures.  The Company's
ownership interest in these co-investment joint ventures ranges from 15% to
40%.

(2)   The Company's share of the total acquisition costs was $104.5
million.

     The Company currently focuses on acquiring properties in selected
markets in the Southwest, Southeast and Midwest regions of the united
States.  The Company's acquisition teams consist of experienced finance,
development and asset management professionals working together to identify
opportunities, evaluate property information, negotiate and successfully
execute favorable transactions for the Company.  The Company's acquisition
process is driven by thorough market research.  Successful acquisitions are
based upon a knowledge and careful analysis of employment, population and
income trends, quality of infrastructure, retail and commercial services,
transportation and utility systems, schools and property tax policies.  The
Company's acquisition teams review and monitor economic data and economic
development information and maintain close contact with real estate owners,
developers, brokers, lenders, insurance companies, government agencies and
other institutions to identify potential properties for acquisition by the
Company.






INSTITUTIONAL CO-INVESTMENTS

     AMLI actively acquires and develops multifamily communities in co-
investment joint ventures with institutional investment partners such as
insurance companies, endowments, foundations, and public and private
pension funds.  The Company believes that these co-investment partnerships
create an opportunity to leverage the Company's acquisition, development
and management experience and generate higher returns on its invested
capital.

     AMLI differentiates itself from other multifamily REITs through its
co-investment business and its established relationships with a number of
institutional partners.  By co-investing, AMLI is able to (i) generate
higher returns on its equity investment (as compared to wholly-owned
communities) through the receipt of supplemental acquisition, development,
construction and other fee income; (ii) build market share and thereby
benefit from economies of scale; (iii) expand the AMLI {registered
trademark] brand identity; and (iv) diversify its sources of capital for
its acquisition and development activities.  In addition to the incremental
fee income, AMLI receives its pro rata share of the real estate income
generated by the on-going operation of each community owned through a co-
investment joint venture.  All of the Co-Investment Communities are managed
by the Company and operated under the AMLI [registered trademark] brand
name.

     While each co-investment is structured individually, in a typical
venture the Company (i) acts as the general partner or managing member of
the venture; (ii) handles the administration of the venture; (iii) manages
the day-to-day operations of the community held by the venture; (iv) in the
case of a venture with a property under development, oversees construction
and development; and (v) recommended the sale or refinancing of the
property.  All of AMLI's co-investments are made on a pari passu basis with
its co-investment partners and any disputes over sale or refinancing
decisions are generally resolved through the exercise of a buy-sell
provision.  As of December 31, 1996, the Company had established co-
investment relationships with Allstate Insurance Company, Erie Insurance
Group, The New York Common Retirement Fund, Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company and The Rockefeller Foundation.

     Since the Initial Offering, the Company has entered into 13 co-
investment relationships for the acquisition or development of multifamily
apartment communities.  The table below summarizes the co-investment
activities of the Company since the Initial Offering:

investment communities under development are completed.


     The Company has received indications of interest and is pursuing other
commitments for the acquisition or development of additional co-investment
communities.  In addition, the Company is continually working to expand the
base of its institutional joint venture partners.






HISTORY OF THE AMLI RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY BUSINESS

     The Company was formed in February 1994 to continue and expand the
multifamily property business previously conducted by ARC.  ARC was founded
in 1980 by Gregory T. Mutz and John E. Allen, the Chairman and Vice-
Chairman of the Company, respectively.  Ronald L. Jensen, Chairman of UICI,
served on ARC's Board of Directors from 1980 to 1982.  From the date of its
inception through the date of the Offering, ARC focused on owning,
managing, leasing, acquiring and developing upscale residential apartment
communities in the Southwest, Southeast and Midwest areas of the United
States.  During the period from 1982 to 1989, ARC was actively engaged in
both the development and acquisition of multifamily communities.  From 1989
through the date of the Offering, ARC exclusively pursued acquisition
opportunities due to ARC's belief that this strategy provided a more
favorable return relative to the risk taken than did the development of new
properties during this period.  From the date of the Initial Offering to
the present, AMLI has pursued a strategy of selective acquisitions and
developments in its primary markets.

     Prior to 1994 all communities currently wholly-owned were originally acquired as co-investments between ARC
and the Original Investors in various Property Partnerships.  The table below sets forth ARC's and the Company's

    (1)  The Company paid dividends with respect to these quarters in the quarter immediately following the
quarter for which they are paid.



</TABLE>





     Dividends are declared and paid in the second month following the end
of the calendar quarter in which the related cash flow from operations is
generated.  On February 28, 1997, the last reported sale price of the
common shares on the NYSE was $23.75 per share.  On the same date, the
Company had 14,812,035 common shares outstanding held by 227 shareholders
of record.

     The Company's current dividend payment level equals an annual rate of
$1.72 per common share.  The Company anticipates that it will continue to
make regular quarterly dividend payments.  Approximately 33% of dividends
paid during 1996 represented a return of capital, and the Company estimates
that approximately 20% of the total dividends to be paid in 1997 will be
treated as a return of capital.

     Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the
Board of Trustees and will depend on the actual cash available for
distribution and funds from operations of the Company, its financial
condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under
the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of
Trustees deems relevant.  The annual dividend payments for calendar year
1996 necessary for the Company to maintain its status as a REIT was
approximately $.72 per share.

<FN>
    (A)  The information presented is for the ten and one-half month
period ended December 31, 1994 based on shares and units outstanding during
the period.

    (B)  Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations to be
         an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. 
Funds from operations is defined as net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (losses) from
debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.
Funds from operations does not represent cash flows from operations as
defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is not
indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not
to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as
a measurement of the results of the Company's operations or the Company's
cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.

         As of December 31, 1994, the Company adopted NAREIT's new
definition of funds from operations, which definition does not provide for
adding back depreciation on non-property related personal property or the
amortization of deferred financing costs to net income.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, 
         except per share data and rental rates per unit)

     The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated
financial statements of AMLI Residential Properties Trust (the "Company")
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the year ended December 31, 1996
and 1995.  This information should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

     On January 30, 1996, the Company issued 1,200,000 convertible
preferred shares for $20 per share, or $24,000, directly to four
institutional investors and Amli Realty Co. ("ARC") in a registered
offering.  During the fourth quarter, the Company completed a public
offering (the "Second Offering") of 2,976,900 common shares.  The net
proceeds of the issuance of the preferred shares and the public offering
were used to reduce the Company's debt and fund development costs.  As of
December 31, 1996, the Company owned an 84% general partnership interest in
the Operating Partnership, which holds the assets of the Company.  The
limited partners hold Operating Partnership units ("OP Units") that are
convertible into shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to
certain limitations.  At December 31, 1996, the Company owned 15,912,035 OP
Units and the limited partners owned 2,950,097 OP Units.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     During 1996, growth in property revenues and property operating
expenses resulted both from increases at communities owned as of January 1,
1995 and from the newly constructed additional phases to existing
communities.

     During the same period, the Company has invested in five co-investment
partnerships, which own the 236-unit AMLI at Windbrooke in Buffalo Grove,
Illinois, the 242-unit AMLI at Willeo Creek in Roswell, Georgia, the 316-
unit AMLI at Greenwood Forest in Houston, Texas, the 592-unit AMLI at Chevy
Chase in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and the 488-unit AMLI at Willowbrook in
Willowbrook, Illinois.

     For the year ended December 31, 1996, net income attributable to
common shares was $13,504 or $1.11 per share, on total revenues of $78,271.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, net income was $13,719, or $1.18 per
share, on total revenues of $73,877.  In 1996, net income includes an
extraordinary loss of $1,118 on early extinguishment of debt and a
nonrecurring gain resulting from interest rate cap contracts of $584.

     On a "same community" basis, weighted average occupancy of the
apartment homes decreased slightly to 94.1% for the year ended December 31,
1996 from 96% in the prior year.  Weighted average collected rental rates
increased by 4.5% to $650 from $623 per unit per month for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Including Co-Investment
Communities, weighted average occupancy of the apartment homes decreased to
94.2% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 95.6% in the prior year,
and weighted average collected rental rates increased by 4.2% to $653 from
$627 per unit per month for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

     Income before nonrecurring items, minority interest, and extraordinary
items increased to $19,365 for the year ended December 31, 1996 from
$15,508 for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The increase was primarily
attributable to a $1,010 decrease in interest expense and a $4,394 increase
in total revenues, reduced by a $1,302 increase in property operating
expenses.  For the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, net income was
$15,250 and $13,719, respectively.

     Total property revenues increased by $2,994, or 4.2%.  On a same
community basis, total property revenues increased by $2,477, or 3.6%.





     The $1,409 increase in other revenue includes a $535 increase in share
of income from co-investment ventures, a $612 increase in development fees
and a $284 increase in asset management fees.

     Property operating expenses increased by $1,302, or 3.1%.  On a same
community basis, property operating expenses increased by $1,088, or 3.7%.

     Interest expense, net of the amounts capitalized, decreased to $11,916
from $12,926, or 7.8%.

     General and administrative expenses increased to $2,353 for the year
ended December 31, 1996 from $1,932 for the year ended December 31, 1995. 
The increase is primarily attributable to increased compensation and
compensation-related costs.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

     Income before income taxes, nonrecurring gains, minority interest and
extraordinary item increased to $15,508 for the year ended December 31,
1995 from $12,500 for the year ended December 31, 1994.  For the year ended
December 31, 1995 net income increased to $13,719 from $8,710 for the year
ended December 31, 1994.  This increase in net income was primarily
attributable to a $8,662 increase in total revenues, a $1,498 gain on the
sale of a residential property recognized in 1995 and a $2,007 loss on
early extinguishment of debt recognized in 1994, reduced by a $3,998
increase in property operating expenses, a $680 expense relating to the
AMLI <registered trademark> brand name in 1995 and a $960 gain resulting
from interest rate cap contracts recognized in 1994.

     Rental revenues increased by $8,218, or 13.4%.  The increase in rental
revenues for the year  ended December 31, 1995 attributable to properties
acquired after January 1, 1994 (net of property sold) was $5,355 and
accounted for 65.2% of the increase.  Rental revenues from properties owned
at January 1, 1994 increased by $2,863, or 5.5%, and accounted for 34.8% of
the increase.

     Property operating expenses increased by $3,998, or 15.2%.  The
increase in property operating expenses for the year ended December 31,
1995 from properties acquired after January 1, 1994 (net of property sold)
accounted for $2,468, or 61.7% of the increase.  Property operating
expenses from properties owned at January 1, 1994 increased $1,530, or
6.7%, and accounted for 38.3% of the increase.

     Interest expense, net of the amounts capitalized, for the year ended
December 31, 1995, increased to $12,926 from $11,557 for the prior year, or
11.8%.  The increase was primarily due to increased borrowings to fund
acquisition and development activities, reduced in part, as a result of the
decline in floating interest rates in 1995 after rising in 1994.

     General and administrative expenses increased to $1,932 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 from $1,616 for the year ended December 31, 1994,
or 19.6%.  The increase was attributable to recurring costs incurred in
1995 for the first time, including costs relating to the Company's Annual
Report to shareholders and the annual shareholders' meeting, and increases
in professional fees.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had $10,291 in cash and cash
equivalents and $82,000 in availability under its two primary bank lines of
credit, the Wachovia Line, a $60,000 line of credit, and the First Chicago
Line, a $29,500 line of credit which the company anticipates will increase
by $11,747 to $41,247 during the first quarter of 1997.





     At December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $7,500
on the Wachovia Line which is secured by mortgages on two wholly-owned
communities in Georgia.  The rate on the total amount outstanding has been
fixed at 6.32% until February 15, 1997.  The remaining credit availability
of $52,500 is anticipated to be used to fund future working capital needs
and acquisition and development activities.

     At December 31, 1996, the entire First Chicago Line of $29,500 and the
expected increased availability of $11,747 is anticipated to be used to
fund the construction of AMLI at AutumnChase III, acquisition and other
development activities and future working capital needs.

     On April 29, 1996, the Company closed on a $43,907 ten-year, 7.79%
loan provided by FNMA.  This loan is secured by mortgages on two properties
in Dallas, Texas.  The loan proceeds, net of a .75% financing fee and
original issue discount of $673, were used to retire the Company's then
existing balance on its line of credit with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.
("Lehman") and to reduce the balance on the First Chicago Line.

     On June 11, 1996, the Company closed with CIGNA on two seven-year
loans aggregating $42,000 with an average interest rate of 7.31% per annum.

Concurrently, the Company repaid the then existing balance on the Company's
$54,835 whole loan with Lehman, which beginning in August 1997 would have
carried interest at a fixed rate of 8.35%.  As a result of the refinancings
completed by the Company in April and June as described above, the Company
improved its balance sheet, financing structure and capability as follows:

 .    the Company increased the weighted average annual interest rate by
0.4% to 6.9% through August 1, 1997 and decreased the weighted average
annual interest rate by 0.2% during the four years thereafter;

 .    the Company increased the weighted average term of its outstanding
indebtedness to 5.3 years;

 .    the Company increased the percentage of debt that is fixed-rate debt
to 66% from 54%;

 .    the Company wrote off expenses previously deferred in conjunction
with the repaid loans, thereby decreasing its deferred expenses and
amortization, particularly for the period through August 1, 1997;

 .    the Company increased the number of unencumbered wholly-owned
communities from one to five;

 .    the Company incurred net extraordinary or otherwise nonrecurring
charges of $781, which is primarily attributable to the non-cash write-off
of deferred expenses relating to the Lehman loans.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had a $19,975 outstanding balance on
its $20,100 loan provided by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association. 
This loan is secured by AMLI at Regents Center in Overland Park, Kansas. 
The remaining commitment of $6,300 was funded in November 1996 when the
construction of the additional 124-unit Phase III was completed.

     Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended
December 31, 1996 increased to $31,934 from $28,334 for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in
property net operating income and a decrease in interest expense offset by
an increase in escrow deposits resulting from the 1996 financings.

     Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December
31, 1996 increased to $66,864 from $2,551.  The increase consisted
primarily of expenditures for the acquisition of land parcels and
development costs, contributions to co-investment partnerships and working
capital advances to the Service Companies, and 1995 being net of cash
proceeds from the sale of a residential property in California.





     Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 1996 were $42,942.  Net cash used in financing activities for
the year ended December 31, 1995 were $26,964.  In 1996, cash flows
reflected the $23,918 proceeds from issuance of preferred shares and the
$61,169 proceeds from the Second Offering, reduced by net repayments of
loans.

     Funds from operations is defined as net income (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

     Funds from operations is widely accepted in measuring the performance
of equity REITs.  An understanding of the Company's funds from operations
will enhance the reader's comprehension of the Company's results of
operations and cash flows as presented in the financial statements and data
included elsewhere herein.  Funds from operations should not be considered
an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement as a measure of
the results of the Company's operations, the Company's cash flows or
liquidity.

     Funds from operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
are summarized as follows:

                                         1996         1995

     The Company expects to pay quarterly dividends from cash available for
distribution.  Until distributed, funds available for distribution will be
invested in short-term investment grade securities or used to temporarily
reduce outstanding balances on the Company's revolving lines of credit. 

     The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements by
using its working capital and  any portion of net cash flow from operations
not distributed currently.  The Company is of the opinion that its future
net cash flows will be adequate to meet operating requirements in both the
short and the long term and provide for payment of dividends by the Company
in accordance with REIT requirements.  In order to qualify as a REIT, the
Company is required to distribute dividends to its shareholders equal to
95% of its REIT taxable income.  The Company's REIT taxable income for the
year 1996 is $9,224 which would require the Company to distribute
approximately $8,763.  For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company
has distributed $26,638, or $1.72 per share to its shareholders, of which
approximately 33% represents a return of capital.





     The Company expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements
such as scheduled debt maturities, repayment of loans for construction,
development, and acquisition activities through the issuance of long-term
secured and unsecured debt and additional equity securities of the Company
(or OP Units).  On July 20, 1995, the Company's shelf registration became
effective. The registration covers up to an aggregate of $200,000 of
preferred shares, common shares and security warrants which the Company may
issue from time to time.  During 1996, the Company issued preferred shares,
common shares and OP Units that total approximately $91,617, leaving a
balance of $108,383 that the Company may issue in the future.

     On January 30, 1996, the Company issued 1,200,000 Series A cumulative
convertible preferred shares of beneficial interest for $20 per share, or
$24,000, directly to four institutional investors and ARC in a registered
offering, without the use of a placement agent or underwriter.  The
proceeds of the offering, less $82 of transaction costs, were used to
reduce the Company's debt, fund development costs and for working capital
requirements.  ARC elected to convert its 100,000 preferred shares to
100,000 common shares on February 29, 1996.

COMPANY INDEBTEDNESS

     The Company's debt as of December 31, 1996, substantially all of which
is secured by first mortgages on 19 of the wholly-owned communities, is

DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

     AMLI at Gleneagles II, a 264 apartment home development located in
Dallas, Texas is substantially complete and currently in lease-up.  The
approximate development costs of this community (including land cost) are
$13,500.  The Company has also commenced development activities on
additional sites in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Topeka and Overland Park,
Kansas.  Furthermore, the Company has started planning and pre-development
activities on four additional sites in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago and Dallas.

The costs of these development activities are expected to be funded from
existing credit availability and/or in partnership with institutional
investors.

     In February 1996, the Company acquired two land parcels in Atlanta,
Georgia and Aurora, Illinois for a total price of $11,023.  The Atlanta
parcel was acquired for cash and a note that was paid off in May 1996.  The
consideration for the Aurora land parcel was satisfied in part by the
issuance of 26,182 OP Units, with the remaining purchase price paid in
cash.  A 272 apartment home community is under development on the Aurora
site in a co-investment partnership with an institutional investor.  The
Company has begun development of a 400 apartment home community on the
Atlanta site and expects to commence development of a second 400 apartment
home community in one or more additional phases on adjacent land either for
its own account or in partnership with an institutional investor.

     At December 31, 1996, the construction of AMLI at Pleasant Hill, a
502-unit apartment home community developed through a co-investment
partnership, was complete.  Total development costs of approximately
$26,600 were funded first from the venturers' capital contributions and
thereafter are being funded from the $15,500 fixed rate construction and
permanent loan provided by the co-venturer.

     During the fourth quarter of 1996, AMLI at Barrett Lakes, a 446-unit
apartment community in Atlanta, Georgia, being developed through a co-
investment partnership, began rental operations.  Of the total estimated
development costs of $27,800, the co-venturer has provided $16,680 of
construction and permanent financing for this development, and the
remaining costs are being funded from the Company's and the co-investor's
equity contributions.

     In December 1995, the Company began construction of AMLI at River
Park, a 222 apartment home community in Atlanta, Georgia.  In June 1996,
this community was contributed to a co-investment joint venture.  Of the
$15,400 estimated development costs, the co-venturer provided $9,100 in the
form of a loan and the remaining costs are being funded from equity
contributions from the Company and its co-investment partner.

     On February 27, 1996, the Company committed to make a $12,955
construction loan to a third party to fund the development of a 156
apartment home community in Overland Park, Kansas.  This community was
approximately 66% complete at December 31, 1996 and is anticipated to be
completed in May 1997.  The construction and development of this community
is accounted for as an acquisition, development and construction loan.

     At September 30, 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture with a
large public pension fund and formed Acquiport/Aurora Crossing, L.P. 
Concurrent with the formation of the partnership, AMLI contributed the 18
acre Aurora land parcel and all the improvements in place for a 272
apartment home development.  The total development cost of approximately
$24,500 will be funded by equity contributions of which $7,400 was funded
on September 30, 1996.  The Company owns a 25% general partnership interest
in this joint venture and received $5,545 as reimbursement of costs
incurred by the Company prior to contributing the land to the joint
venture.





     On September 30, 1996, the Company, as general partner, and for a 25%
partnership interest, entered into a co-investment partnership with a large
public pension plan and formed Acquiport/Fossil Creek, L.P.  Upon formation
of the Partnership, the Company contributed its 19 acre land parcel in
Forth Worth, Texas.  The development of a 384 apartment home community on
this site is currently in progress.  The total development costs of
approximately $23,700 will be funded from capital contributions from the
partners.  At September 30, 1996, total costs incurred of $2,670 were
funded.  The Company received $1,998 as reimbursement of costs incurred by
the Company prior to contributing the land to the partnership.

     On October 9, 1996, the Company acquired 28.6 acres of land located in
Aurora, Illinois.  The $5,014 purchase price of this parcel was paid
partially in cash ($3,429 of which has been paid by the Company and $485 of
which is payable when construction is completed) and through the issuance
of 53,140 OP Units.  The Company intends to develop a 464 apartment home
community on this site in partnership with an institutional investor. 
Total development costs are projected to be approximately $45,000 and
construction is contemplated to commence in the Spring of 1997.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     Capital expenditures are those made for assets having a useful life in
excess of one year and include replacements (including carpeting and
appliances) and betterments, such as unit upgrades, enclosed parking
facilities and similar items.

     In conjunction with acquisitions of existing properties, it is the
Company's policy to provide in its acquisition budgets adequate funds to
complete any deferred maintenance items and to otherwise make the
properties acquired competitive with comparable newly-constructed
properties.  In some cases, the Company will provide in its acquisition
budget additional funds to upgrade or otherwise improve new acquisitions.

     During 1996 and 1995, a total of $4,933 and $4,554 was spent on
building repairs and maintenance (including contract services),
respectively, and $1,736 and $1,811 was spent on landscaping and grounds
maintenance, respectively, as follows:

                                                 1996           1995

   *   The current policy provides that most capitalizable additions will
have a life of 15 years, except for the items of personal property which
have estimated lives of 5 years.  Included in an acquisition budget may be
some costs which would otherwise be expensed, such as exterior painting;
such items are being depreciated over 15 years.

INFLATION

     Virtually all apartment leases at the Communities and Co-Investment
Communities are for six or twelve months' duration.  This enables the
Company to pass along inflationary increases in its operating expenses on a
timely basis.  Because the Company's property operating expenses (exclusive
of depreciation and amortization) are approximately 42.5% of rental and
other revenue, increased inflation typically results in comparable
increases in income before interest and general and administrative
expenses, so long as rental market conditions allow increases in rental
rates while maintaining stable occupancy.

     An increase in general price levels may immediately precede, or
accompany, an increase in interest rates.  The Company's exposure to rising
interest rates is mitigated by the existing debt level of approximately 31%
of the Company's current market capitalization (35% including the Company's
share of co-investment partnerships' debt) and by utilizing intermediate
term fixed rate debt (76% of total debt).  As a result, for the foreseeable
future, increases in interest expense resulting from increasing inflation
are anticipated to be less than future increases in income before interest
and general and administrative expenses.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES 
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

     Certain statements set forth herein or incorporated by reference
herein from the Company's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, contain forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, statements relating to the timing and anticipated capital
expenditures of the Company's development programs.  Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are based on reasonable assumptions, the actual results may differ
materially from that set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Certain
factors that might cause such differences include general economic
conditions, local real estate conditions, construction delays due to the
unavailability of construction materials, weather conditions or other
delays beyond the control of the Company.  Consequently, such forward-
looking statements should be regarded solely as reflections of the
Company's current operating and development plans and estimates.  These
plans and estimates are subject to revision from time to time as additional
information becomes available, and actual results may differ from those
indicated in the referenced statements.

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
AMLI Residential Properties Trust:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMLI
Residential Properties Trust (the "Company") as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996.  In connection with our audits of the consolidated
financial statements, we have also audited the related financial statement
schedule.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the management of the Company.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

                     AMLI RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TRUST

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     ORGANIZATION 

     AMLI Residential Properties Trust (the "Company"), a self-administered
and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"), was formed on
February 15, 1994 to continue and expand the multifamily property business
previously conducted by Amli Realty Co. ("ARC") and its affiliates.  The
Company is the successor to the operations of Amli Residential Properties
Group ("ARPG" or the "Predecessor").  The Company is the sole general
partner of AMLI Residential Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership")
in which it holds an 84% interest.  All the properties (the "Properties")
and property interests are owned and operated through the Operating
Partnership.  The Company and its affiliates develop, acquire, lease,
manage and hold for investment upscale residential apartment communities.

     The Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its
initial public offering ("Initial Offering") on February 15, 1994.  The
Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust for Federal income tax
purposes.

     During 1995, the Company created a brand name utilizing the AMLI
<registered trademark> name.  The process required changing property
signage (which includes the AMLI <registered trademark> name), stationery
and marketing materials to include products that will identify the
Company's residential communities.  The Company completed the
implementation of this brand name strategy in the fall of 1995, and
incurred a total cost of $680.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     For the periods after the Initial Offering, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
the Operating Partnership.  For the periods before the Initial Offering,
the accompanying combined financial statements reflect the combined
accounts of ARPG.

     ARPG consisted of various limited partnerships ("Original Investors")
sponsored by ARC which previously owned 20 residential properties, general
partner interests in three additional limited partnerships sponsored by ARC
("GP Properties"), and certain property management, landscaping, investment
advisory and asset management subsidiaries and divisions of ARC which were
contributed to the Company.  The accounts are presented on a combined basis
because of the common ownership interest and management.  The Company
raised capital through the Initial Offering and structured the business
combination so that the partners and owners of each of the Original
Investors in ARPG received cash, limited partnership interests ("OP Units")
in the Operating Partnership, common shares of the Company, or a
combination thereof.  The OP Units are convertible into shares of the
Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain limitations (see note
7).

               Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


     AMLI Management Company ("AMC"), AMLI Institutional Advisors, Inc.
("AIA"), AMLI Residential Construction, Inc. ("Amrescon") and AMLI
Landscape Co., a division of Amrescon, (the "Service Companies") provide
services to the Company's wholly-owned properties as well as to properties
owned by or joint ventured with third parties.  AMLI's investments in the
Service Companies are accounted for using the equity method.

     The GP Properties (AMLI at Prairie Court in Oak Park, Illinois and
AMLI at Towne Creek in Gainesville, Georgia) are accounted for using the
equity method.  These interests are not material to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

     The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements use
the historical basis of accounting.  All significant inter-entity balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The Company's management has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from these estimates.


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     REAL ESTATE ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

     Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; replacements
having an estimated useful life of at least one year and betterments are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. 
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over useful lives of the
properties (buildings and related land improvements -- 40 years; furniture,
fixtures and equipment -- 5 - 15 years).  Substantially all real estate
assets are pledged to secure debt (see note 5).

     In conjunction with acquisitions of existing properties, it is the
Company's policy to provide in its acquisition budgets adequate funds to
complete any deferred maintenance items and to otherwise make the
properties acquired competitive with comparable newly-constructed
properties.  In some cases the Company will provide in its acquisition
budget additional funds to upgrade or otherwise improve new acquisitions.

     On August 11, 1995, the Company closed the sale of the 421-unit Club
Laguna apartments located in Orange County, California.  The sale price of
$29,908 was paid in cash, and the net proceeds of the sale were used in
part to pay down the Lehman Line of Credit ($16,720 of which was secured by
this property).  The rental apartments in the accompanying balance sheet at
December 31, 1995 have been reduced by $28,084 of cost and related
accumulated depreciation reflecting the sale of Club Laguna.

     Losses in carrying values of investment assets are provided by
management when the losses become apparent and the investment asset is
considered impaired in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") .  Management
evaluates its investment properties at least quarterly to assess whether
any impairment indications are present, comparing current net operating

income as a percentage of cost to income capitalization rates.  If any
investment asset is considered impaired, a loss is provided to reduce the
carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.  No such losses
have been required or provided in the accompanying financial statements.

     PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT

     During 1996 the Company acquired six additional sites located in Fort
Worth and Dallas, Texas, Atlanta, Georgia and Aurora, Illinois for a total
cost of $22,330.  Physical construction of new communities will commence or
continue at these sites in 1997.  During 1996, the Company contributed one
land parcel each at cost to three co-investment partnerships, namely AMLI
at River Exchange, L.P., Acquiport/Aurora Crossing, L.P. and
Acquiport/Fossil Creek, L.P. (see note 3).

     During 1995 the Company acquired five land parcels located in Fort
Worth, Texas, Atlanta, Georgia and Eastern Kansas for a total cost of
$7,502.  One of the land parcels in Atlanta, which was purchased for
$1,965, was conveyed at cost to Barrett Lakes Limited Liability Company in
November 1995.

     The table below shows all land parcels that are currently under
development or will be under development in 1997.

          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

               Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


     INTEREST AND REAL ESTATE TAX CAPITALIZATION

     Interest and real estate taxes incurred during the construction period
are capitalized and depreciated over the lives of the constructed assets. 
During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 total interest
capitalized was $3,242, $1,638 and $498, respectively.  Net of amounts
capitalized, total interest incurred during the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 aggregated $11,916, $12,926 and $11,557, respectively.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Rental revenues -- the Company leases its residential properties under
operating leases with terms generally of six or twelve months.  Rental
income is recognized when earned; this method approximates recognition
using the straight-line method over the related lease term.  At December
31, 1996 apartment leases in effect provide for annual rentals aggregating
approximately $75,132.

     Prior to the Initial Offering, certain fees for property management,
landscape services and asset management were eliminated in the combination.

     FAIR VALUES

     The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments
presented in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been
determined by management based on pertinent information available as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, using appropriate methodologies.  These
estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could
ultimately realize.

     The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of its cash
equivalents, interest-bearing notes receivable from the Service Companies,
operating payables, debt and interest rate limitation contracts.  The
carrying amounts of the Company's cash equivalents and operating payables
are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-
term nature of these instruments.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
investments purchased  with an original maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

     DEFERRED EXPENSES

     Deferred costs consist primarily of financing costs which are
amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related
debt.  During the construction period, amortization of deferred costs
relating to properties under development are capitalized and depreciated
over the lives of the constructed assets.  During the years ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, capitalized amortization of deferred costs was
$63, $214 and $10, respectively.  Deferred expenses at December 31, 1996
and 1995 include $114 and $1,341, respectively, in unamortized cost of
interest rate cap contracts which limit the Company's exposure to
increasing rates through various dates in 1997 and 1998.  Amounts paid for
purchased interest rate cap agreements are amortized over the terms of the
related cap contracts.

          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

               Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


     In December 1995, the Company initiated a program of buying and
rolling Treasury Locks as a means of limiting its exposure to rising
interest rates in anticipation of funding a new $43,907 loan through FNMA. 
Through May 6, 1996 (the date on which the FNMA certificates were sold),
the Company received net cash of $1,424 from the above described
activities.  These net proceeds are included as a reduction of deferred
costs and are being amortized over the ten-year term of the FNMA loan.  The
FNMA certificates were sold at a discount of $673; this discount was netted
against the liability and is being amortized over the ten-year loan term. 
At December 31, 1996, the unamortized balance of the net proceeds of these
Treasury Lock activities is $1,339.

     On June 11, 1996, the Company replaced the Lehman Whole Loan with new
fixed rate loans.  Concurrently, the Company sold the $54,835 interest rate
cap contract which pertained to the Lehman Whole Loan.  The sale was
completed on June 13, 1996 and the Company received net proceeds of $1,310.

The unamortized deferred costs related to the LIBOR cap were written off
and a nonrecurring net gain of $584 was recognized.

     On August 9, 1994, the Company completed refinancing $74,793 of its
debt under two new loans from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., referred to as
the $54,835 Lehman Whole Loan and the $56,348 Lehman Line of Credit. 
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the interest rate cap
contracts be "marked to market" and that the Company record a gain on the
excess of value over unamortized cost as of the date of refinancing. 
Because a portion of one interest rate cap contract had become redundant
and another was now associated with the Lehman Line of Credit, the Company
elected to sell these interest cap contracts while keeping in place
interest rate caps on substantially all of its floating rate debt.  The
Company realized a total gain (including the gain recognized at the August
9, 1994 refinancing from marking the interest rate cap contract to market)
of $960 resulting from the above-mentioned LIBOR interest rate cap contract
activities.

     INTEREST RATE LIMITATION CONTRACTS

     The Company uses interest rate caps and swaps to limit its exposure to
increases in interest rates on its floating rate debt.  The Company does
not use them for trading purposes.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company was a party to various interest rate
cap agreements which entitle the Company to receive from counterparties on
a monthly basis the amounts, if any, by which the Company's interest
payments on certain floating rate debt exceed capped amounts.

     The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance
by the counterparties to its interest rate caps.  The Company does not
obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments
subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties. 
The Company anticipates, however, that the counterparties will be able to
fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

     The following summarizes payments received pursuant to interest rate
limitation and swap contracts and the estimated remaining value of such
contracts at December 31, 1996.

     In general, these loans provide for monthly payments of principal and
interest based on a 25 or 27 year amortization schedule and a balloon
payment at maturity.  Loans against newly-completed properties provide for
payments of interest only for an initial period, with principal
amortization commencing generally within two years of completion of
construction and initial lease-up.

     At December 31, 1995, the Company, as general partner, owned co-
investment partnership interests in Foundation; Foundation II; Champions;
Windbrooke; Willeo Creek; Pleasant Hill; and Barrett Lakes; and a nominal
interest in the GP Properties.  These co-investment partnerships are
accounted for using the equity method.  Investments in partnerships at
December 31, 1995 and the Company's 1995 share of income or loss from each
(excluding the GP Properties from which the Company received distributions
and recorded income of $2) are summarized as follows:

Company as a joint venture partner, and the accounts of this partnership are now accounted for using the equity
method as described above.

     INVESTMENTS IN SERVICE COMPANIES

     In connection with the reorganization (June 1994 in the case of
Amrescon), the Company obtained 5% of the voting common stock and 100% of
the nonvoting preferred stock in the Service Companies, which provide
property management, construction, landscaping, investment advisory and
asset management services to the Company and to certain other parties.  The
nonvoting preferred stock entitles the Company to approximately 95% of all
cash distributions from the Service Companies.  For the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company received dividends of $0, $40
and $100, respectively, from the management company.

     Summarized combined financial information of the various Service
Companies at and for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the
period from February 15, 1994 through December 31, 1994 follows:

        (1) Net of construction and landscaping costs.

     Interest expense of the Service Companies includes interest on the 13%
$3,500 notes payable by AMC and AIA to the Company.  The Company's share of
income (loss) from the Service Companies in 1996, 1995 and 1994 was ($238),
$3 and $100, respectively, after elimination of intercompany profit on
construction activities.  This interest income is combined with the
Company's share of income (loss) from Service Companies in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Additional interest expense ($416,
$133 and $9 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively) was paid to the Company
by the Service Companies as interest on working capital advances.


4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     General and administrative expenses as included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations include allocations of costs to the
Company from ARC and its affiliates.  Such allocations are not in excess of
ARC's cost of providing services to the Company, including personnel,
occupancy and other corporate overhead.  Following the Initial Offering,

                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


the majority of these costs are borne directly by the Company. 
Approximately $335, $335 and $512 was allocated to the Company and the
Service Companies from ARC's Service Bureau Division in the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and in the period from February 15 through
December 31, 1994, respectively, to reimburse ARC for the Company's
allocated share of costs incurred on its behalf.  The management of the
Company is of the opinion that the costs allocated from ARC's Service
Bureau Division reasonably approximate or are less than the costs the
Company would incur by contracting for such services with an unaffiliated
entity.  The Company and the Service Companies have agreed to pay for a
share of ARC's total occupancy cost.  The Company's total occupancy cost
was approximately $310, $150 and $131 for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 and the period from February 15 through December 31, 1994,
respectively, including $255, $122 and $107 allocable to the Service
Companies.

     During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company accrued or paid to its
affiliates fees and other costs and expenses as follows:

     During 1994, Amrescon purchased a total of 38 lumber futures contracts
in order to protect against increases in the cost of lumber to be used in
constructing new apartments.  At December 31, 1995, Amrescon had reduced
its position to 6 contracts following acquisition of the lumber for several
of its construction projects.  The remaining contracts were sold in
February 1996.  Cumulative losses on these contracts totalled $68, which
amount is treated as an additional cost of properties developed in 1995. 
Amrescon may resume using lumber futures in the future to protect against
increases in the cost of lumber as additional properties are developed.

     During 1996, Amrescon paid $165 for the assets of Regents Management
Corporation, whereupon a principal of that corporation became an employee
of Amrescon and an executive officer of the Company.  The assets acquired
consist of furniture and equipment and the contracts for the construction
of AMLI at Regents Center III and AMLI at Crown Colony II.  An additional
amount, not to exceed $30, will be paid in 1997 in conjunction with this
transaction.


5.  DEBT

     BOND FINANCING

     AMLI at Spring Creek, an 1,180-unit apartment community in Atlanta,
Georgia secures a total of $40,750 of tax-exempt bonds.  The terms of the
bonds require that a portion of the apartment homes be leased to
individuals who qualify based on income levels specified by the U.S.
Government.  The bonds bear interest at a variable rate; however, $31,250
of the total $40,750 has an interest rate cap contract in place against
increases in a tax-exempt index rate ("TENR") above 3% through February 15,
1997.  The variable rate is adjusted weekly based upon the remarketing rate
for these bonds (3.35% at February 26, 1997; 3.50% average for the year
ended December 31, 1996).  The credit enhancement for the bonds was
provided by a $41,297 five-year letter of credit from Wachovia Bank which
expires on October 15, 1999.

     MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

     At December 31, 1996, the Company owes a total of $153,013 pursuant to
eleven fixed rate mortgage notes payable to eight financial institutions. 
Each loan is secured by a first mortgage on the respective residential
apartment community and is non-recourse to the partners, except for a
$1,500 portion of one of the mortgage notes payable and $19,975 of another
of the mortgage notes payable.  The loans bear interest at fixed rates
between 7% and 9.9%, with maturities extending through May 1, 2006.

     On April 29, 1996, the Company closed on a $43,907 ten-year, 7.79%
loan provided by FNMA.  The loan is secured by mortgages on three
properties in Dallas, Texas.  On June 11, 1996, two seven-year loans
provided by CIGNA in the aggregate amount of $42,000 at an average interest
rate of 7.31% were funded.  The net proceeds of these loans were used
primarily to repay the Lehman Whole Loan and the Lehman Line of Credit. 
The Company incurred an extraordinary charge of $1,365 which consists of
the related unamortized deferred costs on these repaid loans plus
prepayment penalties.

     OTHER NOTES PAYABLE

     Other notes payable are comprised of three floating rate loans due to
financial institutions aggregating $7,500 and $750 in another note payable.

These loans bear interest at rates of 135 to 185 basis points over LIBOR
(7.06% at December 31, 1996).  The total amount outstanding is the subject
of an interest rate swap fixing the interest rate at 6.32% through February
15, 1997.

     On June 16, 1996, the Wachovia Line of credit was modified to increase
the commitment amount to $60,000 and to lower the interest rate to LIBOR
plus 1.35% (LIBOR plus 1.65% on construction loans until stabilized
operations are achieved).

     In April 1996, First Chicago purchased the $27,000 revolving credit
and loan facility with Citicorp Real Estate Inc.  The loan was modified to
increase the commitment amount to $29,500 and to reduce the interest rate
to LIBOR plus 1.65%.  The Company is negotiating an agreement with First
Chicago to increase the line of credit to $41,247 and reduce the interest
rate to LIBOR plus 1.35%.

     Of the aggregate $98,250 of other notes payable, $7,500 is outstanding
on the $60,000 Wachovia Line of credit; the entire $29,500 First Chicago
facility is available and $6,835 in letters of credit are outstanding on an
$8,000 line of credit from Harris.  The total $83,165 (net of $6,835
letters of credit) of unused credit is available to fund future
development, acquisition and working capital needs.  The line of credit
agreements provide for customary borrower covenants, including among other
things, minimum debt service coverage ratios and maximum loan to value
ratios.

               Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying value and fair value of
the Company's long-term debt are not considered to be significantly
different.  The Company considers the interest rates on its long-term debt
as market rates, based on interest rates, payment terms and maturities
available to the Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, for these types
of loans.  Current estimates of fair value may differ from the amount
presented herein.

6.  INCOME TAXES

     The Company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  A REIT will generally not be
subject to Federal income taxation on that portion of its income that
qualifies as REIT taxable income to the extent that it distributes at least
95 percent of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with
certain other requirements.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for
Federal income taxes for the Company.  Approximately 33% of dividends paid
during 1996 represented a return of capital.

     ARPG's combined financial statements include the accounts of the
Service Companies, which had been wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARC.  The
accounts of these entities were included in the consolidated Federal income
tax return of ARC and its consolidated subsidiaries during the years from
inception through February 15, 1994.  Income taxes were allocated to the
Service Companies on a stand-alone basis since 1988.

     The Service Companies' combined income (loss) before income taxes
includes $168 for the one and one-half months ended February 14, 1994
subject to corporate income tax.

7.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Upon the closing of the Company's Initial Offering on February 15,
1994, a total of 11,530,370 of the Company's common shares were issued and
outstanding.  At that time, the Company owned a like number of OP Units,
which represented approximately 81% of the total 14,426,710 OP Units
outstanding at that time.

     During 1995, a total of 151,289 OP Units were converted to shares. 
During 1996, a total of 17,776 OP Units were converted to shares and
222,822 new OP Units were issued to third parties upon their contribution
of three parcels of land to the Operating Partnership.  These land parcels
are currently being developed into new communities in Atlanta, Georgia and
Aurora, Illinois.

     Pursuant to the authority vested to the Board of Trustees in the
Declaration of Trust dated January 31, 1994, the Trustees classified and
designated 1,500,000 unissued shares of beneficial interest of the Company
as Series A cumulative convertible preferred shares of beneficial interest.

On January 30, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 1,200,000 newly
issued Series A convertible preferred shares, $.01 par value, for $24,000
in a registered offering.  The price per share of $20 was the price of the
Company's common shares on January 15, 1996.  The Company sold the
preferred shares directly to four institutional investors and ARC without
the use of a placement agent or underwriter.  The proceeds from the sale of
these preferred shares, less $82 of transaction costs, were used to reduce
the Company's debt, fund development costs and for general corporate
purposes.

               Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


     The preferred shares will pay a dividend equal to $1.72 per share on
an annual basis or the dividend amount paid on common shares, whichever is
higher.  The Company's Board of Trustees has authorized the payment of
dividends at this annual rate for the period from January 30, 1996 to
February 20, 1996, the dividend payment date.  The preferred shares are
perpetual and generally have no voting rights except in certain limited
circumstances.  The preferred shares may be converted on a share-for-share
basis into common shares at any time at a conversion price that shall be
adjusted from time to time.  After January 30, 2001, the Company may redeem
the preferred shares at its option for cash or common shares.  The Company
may redeem the preferred shares for common shares only when the price of
the common shares equals or exceeds the conversion price for 20 of the 30
days preceding the date of redemption notice.  The preferred shares and the
common shares into which the preferred shares may be converted have been
registered under the Company's existing shelf registration.

     On February 29, 1996, ARC elected to convert its 100,000 Series A
convertible preferred shares into common shares.

     During 1996, a total of 35,700 new common shares were issued pursuant
to the Company's Executive Share Purchase Plan (see note 8).  On November
27, 1996, the Company closed a 2,750,000 secondary offering of its common
shares.  The offering was priced at $21.75 per share.  On December 30,
1996, 226,900 additional common shares were issued pursuant to the
Underwriters' over-allotment option.  Net of approximately 5.75% in
commissions and selling expenses, proceeds of the 2,976,900 common share
offering totalled approximately $61,000.  The net proceeds were used to pay
down $46,035 of floating rate debt, to prepay a $4,774 first mortgage note
payable, and to provide approximately $10,000 of working capital to fund
future acquisition and development activities.

     As a result of these transactions, there are at December 31, 1996, a
total of 14,812,035 common shares and 1,100,000 preferred shares issued and
outstanding.  At December 31, 1996, the Company owns 15,912,035 OP Units,
which is approximately 84% of the total 18,862,132 OP Units outstanding.

8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     LEASES OF OFFICE SPACE

     The Company shares office space with its service company subsidiaries
and with ARC at its Chicago headquarters.  Amrescon and AMC share space at
regional corporate offices in Atlanta and Dallas.  The Company is party to
these leases, which have terms expiring through the year 2001 and which
provide for minimum rent and additional rent based on increases in
operating expenses.

     The Company's share of lease payments for noncancellable office leases
(including amounts allocated to the Service Companies) was $310, $150, and
$122 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The 1996 expense includes the
entire $154 rent for the Atlanta and Dallas offices and rent in Chicago
based on actual space occupied at a rate not in excess of the current
market rate.  The Company's estimated share of future minimum rent payments
under the operating leases are as follows:

     RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

     During 1985, ARPG established the Amli Realty Co. Retirement Savings
Plan (the "Retirement Plan"), a qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code.  The provisions of the Retirement Plan obligate the
Company to contribute up to 50% of the amounts contributed to the
Retirement Plan by its employees (such contribution not to exceed $0.50 per
employee per year).  Employees vest in Company contributions as follows:


      Less than three years' service . . . . . . . . . .    0%
      Three or more years' service . . . . . . . . . . .  100%
                                                          === 

     As of January 1, 1995, the Retirement Plan was amended to provide for
an additional contribution by Participating Employers, as defined, equal to
a percentage (3% for 1996 and 1995) of each eligible employee's
compensation.  An employee is eligible who has completed one year of
service by and is an employee as of either June 30 or December 31 of the
year for which the contribution is made.  Those additional contributions
together with the Company's annual 50% matching contribution are to be
invested (semi-annually each February and August) in open market purchases
of the Company's common stock.  Such contributions, by and on behalf of
affiliates of the Company, were $228, $230 and $45 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

     BONUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

     A bonus incentive compensation plan has been established for executive
and key officers.  This program awards both a cash and a common share or OP
Unit bonus to executive officers and certain key officers covered under the
plan based on the achievement of specified targets and goals for the
Company and the individual officer.  The primary targets are the desired
annual funds from operations ("FFO") per share and how the Company performs
relative to its competitors.  The amount of cash bonus and number of common
shares or OP Units will be based on a formula determined for each officer
up to 50% of base compensation.

     PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

     In 1995, the Company established a Performance Incentive Plan whereby
executive and key officers and employees may receive OP Units (or cash,
under certain circumstances) if a target growth in FFO is achieved for a
period of five years starting from the year the rights under this incentive
plan are granted.  If the target growth in FFO is achieved, OP Units
actually issued under this Plan will include both the original award plus
additional units based on assumed re-investment of dividends from the date
of the award to the date of issuance.  Expense is recognized for financial
reporting purposes over the five year determination period for each year's
award based upon the estimated value at December 31, 1996 of the OP Units
to be issued.  At December 31, 1996, there are 21,082 OP Units that may be
issued in conjunction with the January 1995 award and 14,416 OP Units that
may be issued in conjunction with the January 1996 award.  An additional
16,600 OP Units were issued in February 1997.  In 1996 and 1995, a total of
$181 and $76, respectively, was charged to expense by the Company and the
Service Companies pursuant to this incentive plan.

          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

               Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                 (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


     OPTION PLAN

     The Company has adopted the AMLI Residential Properties Trust Option
Plan (the "Option Plan") to provide incentives to attract and retain
Trustees, officers and key employees and service providers.  The Option
Plan provides for the grants of options to purchase a specified number of
common shares or OP Units ("Options").  Under the Option Plan, the total
number of common shares available for grant and available to be issued upon
exchange of OP Units issued under the Option Plan equals 1,000,000.  Upon
certain extraordinary events, the Executive Compensation Committee may make
such adjustments in the aggregate number of common shares or OP Units
reserved for issuance, the number of common shares or OP Units covered by
outstanding awards and the exercise prices specified therein as they
determine to be appropriate.

     At December 31, 1996, there were 382,710 additional shares available
for grant under the Option Plan.  The per share weighted average fair value
of options granted during 1996 and 1995 was $1.52 and $1.96, respectively,
on the date of grant using the Black Scholes Option-pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:  1996 - expected dividend yield
7.5%, risk-free interest rate of 5.6%, expected life of five years and
expected volatility rate of 17.3%; 1995 - expected dividend yield 7.5%,
risk-free interest rate of 7.5%, expected life of 6.8 years and expected
volatility rate of 17.3%.  The options granted in 1996 and 1995 have a
contractual term of ten years.

     On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation".  Pursuant to its provisions, the Company may
either record additional compensation expense each year based on the fair
value of the options granted in that year, or, as the Company has elected
under APB No. 25, record no such additional compensation costs in its
consolidated financial statements and disclose the pro forma effects as if
SFAS No. 123 had been applied.  Disclosure of pro forma effects are
required only for options granted in 1996 and 1995.  Therefore, the full
impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No.
123 is not included because compensation cost is reflected over the vesting
period of five years and compensation cost for options granted prior to
January 1, 1995 is not considered.  Had the Company determined compensation
cost, based upon the fair value at the grant date for these options under
SFAS 123, the effects on the Company's net income and net income per share
would not have been material.

     The Trustees who are not members of management hold 15,190 vested
options.  No other outstanding options vested prior to February 15, 1997. 
Through December 31, 1996, no options have been exercised nor have any
expired.

     Stock option activity for employees during the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995 is as follows:

     At December 31, 1996, the range of exercise prices was $18.00-$20.50
and the weighted-average remaining contractual life of the outstanding
options was eight years.

     On February 3, 1997, the Board of Trustees awarded an additional
137,000 options to acquire shares at an exercise price of $23.50 per share.

     EXECUTIVE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

     At their 1996 Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved the
AMLI Residential Properties Trust Executive Share Purchase Plan (the
"Purchase Plan").  Participants in the Purchase Plan currently include all
nine Trustees (who may in any one year acquire newly-issued shares having a
value as of the acquisition date of up to $100) and eighteen members of
management (who may in any one year acquire newly-issued shares having a
value as of the acquisition date of up to 50% of their annual base
compensation).

     The shares may be acquired at 85% of their then current value, and the
participants may elect to receive financing for up to 80% of their
acquisition cost.  The 15% discount is taxable income to the participants
and expense for the Company's financial reporting purposes in the year in
which the shares are issued.

     During 1996, fourteen Trustees and employees acquired a total of
35,700 shares pursuant to the Purchase Plan.  Related shareholder loans
bear interest at 7.66% and are fully amortizing over a ten year term.  Of
the $487 in loans made in 1996 pursuant to the Purchase Plan, the Company's
share of the outstanding balance of such loans at December 31, 1996 is $433
and is included in the accompanying balance sheet as a reduction of
shareholders' equity.  Total expense recorded in 1996 for the 15% discount,
including the Service Companies' share, was $117.

     SHAREHOLDER LOANS TO OFFICERS/TRUSTEES

     At their February meeting, the Board of Trustees approved $2,500 in
recourse loans to the four Officers/Trustees to enable them to acquire on
the open market 105,000 of the Company's common shares of beneficial
interest.  These loans will bear interest at 6.23% and have a term of nine
years from February 28, 1997.

     LEGAL ACTIONS

     The Company is a party to several legal actions which arose in the
normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, there will be no
adverse consequences from these actions which would be material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations.


9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On January 8, 1997, the Company acquired approximately 20.2 acres of
land located in Gainesville, Georgia for $960.  The Company anticipates
commencing the development of this land later in 1997.

     On February 14, 1997, the Company acquired approximately 18 acres of
land located in Dallas, Texas for $1,750.  The development of this land is
expected to commence in 1997.

     On February 28, 1997, AMLI, through a co-investment venture with the
State Teacher's Retirement Board of Ohio ("OTR"), acquired a 600 apartment
home community in Wheaton, Illinois for approximately $48,800.  The seller
provided a ten-year $24,500 loan with interest at 7.33%.  AMLI owns a 10%
interest and OTR owns a 90% interest in AMLI at Danada, L.L.C., the co-
investment venture that acquired this community.

     WHEREAS, pursuant SECTION 14.1(b)(4), the General Partner has the
power, without the consent of the Limited Partners, to amend the

following the words "Each Limited Partner" in the last sentence of
such SECTION 11.7(a) and (ii) by adding the phrase," with respect to
Units owned by such Limited Partner as of February 15, 1994,"
immediately following the words "to be bound" in the last sentence of
such SECTION 11.7(a).

     2.   CONTINUING EFFECTIVENESS.  As herein amended, the
Partnership Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is
hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

     3.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Amendment shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Delaware.

     4.   DEFINED TERMS.  Capitalized terms used and not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned such terms in the
Partnership Agreement.



     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, the General Partner of the
Partnership, has executed this Amendment to the Partnership Agreement
as of the date first above written.

Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The projections contained in the table above
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements.  Risks associated with the Company's development,
construction and lease-up activities, which could impact the forward-looking statements made include:  development
opportunities may be abandoned;  construction costs of a community may exceed original estimates, possibly making
the community uneconomical; construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt
service and construction costs; estimates of the costs of improvements to bring an acquired property up to the
standards established for the market position intended for that property may prove inaccurate.
