Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Home Properties of New York, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain
expenses, as defined in Note 1, of The Colonies Apartments for the year
ended December 31, 1997.  The statement of revenues and certain expenses is
the responsibility of The Colonies Apartments' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues and
certain expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and
certain expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the statement of revenues and certain expenses.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement
of revenues and certain expenses.  We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared
for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 1, and is not
intended to be a complete presentation of The Colonies Apartments' revenues
and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses referred to
above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain
expenses, as defined in Note 1, of The Colonies Apartments for the year
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1.   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses includes the
operations (see "Basis of Presentation" below) of The Colonies Apartments,
a residential property owned and managed by parties not related to Home
Properties of New York, Inc. (the "Company").

On March 17, 1998, the Company, through its subsidiary Home Properties of
New York, L.P., entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the real
estate of The Colonies Apartments, 672 apartment units located in one
community. The property is located in a suburban market of Chicago,
Illinois.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statement is not representative of the actual
operations of the The Colonies Apartments for the period shown. As required
by the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14,
certain expenses have been excluded which may not be comparable to the
proposed future operations of The Colonies Apartments.  Expenses excluded
relate to property management fees, interest expense, depreciation and
amortization expense and other expenses not directly related to the future
operations of The Colonies Apartments.  The Company is not aware of any
material factors relating to The Colonies Apartments that would cause the
reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future
operating results.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
residents.  Leases are generally for terms of one year.

Interim Unaudited Financial Statement

The accompanying interim unaudited statement of revenues and certain
expenses for the period from January 1 through March 31, 1998 has been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission described above.  The results of operations of such
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
