   1. Significant Accounting Policies

      Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in
      financial  statements  prepared in  accordance  with  generally accepted
      accounting principles have been  condensed or omitted in this  report on
      Form 10-Q  pursuant to the Rules  and Regulations of  the Securities and
      Exchange Commission.  In  the opinion of the  General Partners of  Krupp
      Realty Limited Partnership-VII and Subsidiaries (the "Partnership"), the
      disclosures  contained  in  this   report  are  adequate  to  make   the
      information  presented  not  misleading.    See  Notes  to  Consolidated
      Financial Statements included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
      10-K for the  year ended  December 31, 1995  for additional  information
      relevant to significant accounting policies followed by the Partnership.


      In  the  opinion  of  the  General  Partners  of  the  Partnership,  the
      accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial  statements  reflect all
      adjustments (consisting of only  normal recurring accruals) necessary to
      present fairly  the Partnership's consolidated financial  position as of
      March  31, 1996  and its results  of operations  and cash  flows for the
      three  months  ended March  31,  1996 and  1995.   Certain  prior period
      balances  have   been  reclassified  to  conform   with  current  period
      consolidated financial statement presentation.

      The results  of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
      not necessarily indicative of the results which may be  expected for the
      full  year.    See Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of Financial
      Condition and Results of Operations included in this report.

      A  summary of  changes in  partners' equity  (deficit) for  the three

   3. Related Party Transactions

      Commencing with the date of acquisition of the Partnership's properties,
      the Partnership entered into  agreements under which property management
      fees are  paid to an affiliate  of the General Partners  for services as
      management agent.   Such agreements provide for  management fees payable
      monthly  at  a rate  of  4%  of  the  gross  receipts,  net  of  leasing
      commissions, from  the commercial properties under management  and 5% of
      gross  receipts  from  residential  properties under  management.    The
      Partnership  also  reimburses affiliates  of  the  General Partners  for
      certain  expenses  incurred  in connection  with  the  operation of  the

   Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Partnership's ability  to generate cash adequate  to meet its needs  is
   dependent  primarily upon  the  successful  operations of  its real  estate
   investments.    Such  ability  would  also   be  impacted  by  the   future
   availability of bank borrowings and  the future refinancing and sale of the
   Partnership's  remaining  real  estate  investments.    These  sources   of
   liquidity will  be used by the Partnership for payment  of expenses related
   to  real  estate   operations,  capital  expenditures,  debt  service   and
   expenses.   Cash Flow,  if any,  as calculated under Section  8.2(a) of the
   Partnership  Agreement, will  then be  available  for distribution  to  the
   Partners.    In  1994,  the  General  Partners  determined  that  there was
   sufficient  cash  flow  to  reinstate  semi-annual  distributions.    These
   distributions commenced  in August  1994 at a  rate of $5.00  per Unit  and
   increased in February 1995 to an annual rate of $20.00 per Unit.

   The Partnership's properties (Courtyards Village, Nora Corners and  Windsor
   Apartments) have generated  increased liquidity due to increased  occupancy
   and higher rental  rates in 1996, as compared  to 1995.  Furthermore,   the
   Partnership has  increased availability  of funds due  to reduced  mortgage
   payments resulting from the 1994 refinancings  of mortgage notes payable at
   Nora Corners and Windsor Apartments.

   In  1996, Courtyards,  Nora  Corners  and Windsor  have  scheduled  capital
   improvement    expenditures   totaling  $312,000,  $86,000  and   $340,000,
   respectively.    The  General  Partners  believe  these  improvements  will
   improve the  appearance  of the  properties  and  allow the  properties  to
   remain competitive in their respective  real estate markets.

   Cash Flow

   Shown below, as required by the  Partnership Agreement, is the  calculation
   of Cash Flow of the  Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
   The  General Partners  provide certain  of  the  information below  to meet
   requirements of the Partnership Agreement and  because they believe that it
   is an appropriate supplemental measure  of operating performance.  However,
   Cash Flow  should not be considered  by the reader as  a substitute to  net
   income, as  an indicator of the  Partnership's operating  performance or to
   cash flows as a measure of liquidity. 



                                                        Rounded  to   $1,000

                                                               
               Net income for tax purposes                        $  30,000

               Items not requiring or (requiring) the use of
                operating funds:
                  Tax basis depreciation and amortization           337,000
                  Principal payments on mortgage notes payable      (44,000)
                  Expenditures for capital improvements             (19,000)
                  Working capital reserves                         (153,000)

               Cash Flow                                          $ 151,000


   Operations

   Cash  Flow for  the first  three months  of  1996,  net of  working capital
   reserves,  has increased  when compared  to  the  same period  in 1995  due
   primarily to decreased capital improvements and  increased net income.  The
   Partnership experienced  a 30% increase  in net income  as the increase  in
   total  revenue  more than  offset  the increase  in  total expenses.    The
   increase in  rental  revenue is  attributable  to  rises in  occupancy  and
   rental rates at  Courtyards and Windsor  in the  first quarter  of 1996  as
   compared to  the same  period in  1995.   Interest income increased  due to
   additional  investments  in  commercial  paper yielding  a  higher  rate of
   return.

   Total expenses for the  three months ended March 31, 1996 when compared  to
   the  same  period  in  1995  have  remained    relatively  stable with  the
   exception  of operating expense.   Operating  expense increased between the
   two  periods due primarily to a  rise in utility expense in the first three
   months of 1996  as compared to  the first  three months of 1995.   Although
   rates remained the same in 1996,  higher utility consumption at  Courtyards
   is  attributable to  the severe  weather  experienced  in the  Chicago area
   during the first quarter of 1996.

   General

   In accordance with Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
   the  Impairment  of Long-Lived  Assets  and  for  Long-Lived  Assets to  Be
   Disposed Of", which is effective for  fiscal years beginning after December
   15,  1995,  the Partnership  has  implemented  policies and  practices  for
   assessing impairment of its real estate assets.

   The  investments  in  properties  are  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated
   depreciation unless  the General  Partners believe there  is a  significant
   impairment  in value, in which  case a provision to  write down investments
   in properties to fair value will be charged  against income.  At this time,
   the General Partners do not believe that any assets of the Partnership  are
   significantly impaired.
