		QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
			OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND XI


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited financial statements 
for the period ended March 31, 1997.  The following is Management's 
discussion and analysis of the Partnership's financial condition and 
results of its operations.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, total revenues 
increased 5.9% from $440,002 to $466,098 and total expenses decreased 3.5% 
from $279,756 to $269,978.  As a result, net income increased to $196,120
for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, from $160,246 for the same 
period in 1996.  Occupancy levels for the Partnership's four mini-storage 
averaged 84% for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared
to 85.4% for the same period in 1996. Rental revenue increased as a result
of higher unit rental rates.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing 
efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage 
facilities.  Operating expenses decreased approximately $9,300 (4%) 
primarily as a result of lower real estate tax and salaries and wage expenses.
General and Administrative expenses remained constant.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing
improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated 
from operations.  The Partnership's financial resources appear to be adequate
to meet its needs.

We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth 
therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial 
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
