Item 5. Other Events

        Contract signed on Windsor Apartments
        -------------------------------------

     On August 27, 2001, Windsor Partners Limited  Partnership,  an entity owned
     by Krupp Realty Limited Partnership - VII (the "Partnership"), entered into
     a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell its interest in Windsor Apartments, a
     300-unit  multi-family  apartment  community located in Garland,  Texas, to
     Alexon  Ventures  LLC (the  "Buyer"),  as amended by a Master  Amendment to
     Purchase and Sale  Agreements  dated September 28, 2001, as further amended
     by a Second Master  Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreements dated October
     5, 2001 for approximately  $12,316,000,  less the repayment of the existing
     mortgage  and closing  costs.  The Buyer is not an  affiliate of either the
     Partnership or its general partners.

     On October 22, 2001, the  inspection  period related to the sale of Windsor
     expired  and the  general  partners  now believe it is more likely than not
     that  the  sale  of the  property  will  occur.  Although  there  can be no
     assurance,  the sale is expected to be consummated on or about November 15,
     2001.

     Windsor is the last  remaining  property owned by the  Partnership  and, in
     accordance with the partnership agreement, upon the occurrence of the sale,
     the Partnership will be dissolved and its assets subsequently distributed.

     If the sale occurs, the Partnership expects to make one or more liquidating
     distributions  totaling not less than $280 per investor limited partnership
     unit.
