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 Racquet Club East for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The statement of revenues and certain expenses is the responsibility of Racquet
Club East's 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 Racquet Club East's 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 Racquet Club East 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 Racquet Club East, a
residential property owned and managed by parties not related to Home
Properties of New York, Inc. (the "Company").
On May 26, 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
Racquet Club East, 467 apartment units located in one community. The property
is located in a suburban market of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statement is not representative of the actual
operations of the Racquet Club East 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 Racquet Club East.  Expenses excluded relate to property
management fees, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and
other expenses not directly related to the future operations of Racquet Club
East.  The Company is not aware of any material factors relating to Racquet
Club East 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.
