Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Partnership's annual 1995 audited
consolidated financial statements within Form 10-K

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present a fair statement of financial position as of September 30, 1996
and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the statement of partners'
capital for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Results of
operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

The following events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year
1995,  which require disclosure in this interim report per
regulations S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

The Partnership had signed a contract, dated September 26, 1996,
to sell River Hill Apartments.  On November 8, 1996, the
prospective buyer executed its right to terminate the purchase
agreement during the due diligence period.  The General Partners
are currently evaluating the Partnership's alternatives with
respect to selling the property.











Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash
equivalents of $2,697,209, which were invested in unaffiliated
money market funds, an increase of $260,853 from the balance at
December 31, 1995.  The increase is attributable to cash provided
by operating activities exceeding cash used for distributions,
mortgage principal payments, and additions to real estate.  The
Partnership expects sufficient cash to be generated from
operations to meet its current operating expenses and debt
service requirements.

The Partnership had signed a contract, dated September 26, 1996,
to sell River Hill Apartments.  On November 8, 1996, the
prospective buyer executed its right to terminate the purchase
agreement during the due diligence period.  The General Partners
are currently evaluating the Partnership's alternatives with
respect to selling the property.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased from $168,831 at
December 31, 1995 to $500,997 at September 30, 1996 primarily as
a result of accruals for real estate taxes for all four
properties.

During the third quarter, asphalt work at Pelican Landing was
completed, and exterior painting work at the property was
postponed until early 1997.  Interior repairs at Village at the
Foothills II, Pelican Landing and Shadowood Village were
performed as needed in response to occupancy changes and normal
tenant turnover.

The General Partners declared a cash distribution of $3.75 per
Unit for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 which will be paid
to investors on or about November 15, 1996.  The General Partners
will monitor the level of cash distributions on a quarterly
basis.

Results of Operations
Partnership operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, resulted in net income of $235,908 and
$738,774, respectively, compared with $3,071,360 and $3,492,870,
respectively, for the same periods in 1995.  Net income decreased
from the 1995 period to the 1996 period primarily as a result of
a $2,854,884 gain recognized on the sale of Cypress Lakes and
Trails at Meadowlakes in July 1995.  Excluding the gain, the
Partnership generated income from operations of $216,476 and
$637,986, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  The decrease is also due to a decline in
rental income, partially offset by reductions in property
operating expense, depreciation expense, interest expense, and
general and administrative expenses resulting from the sale of
the properties.  Net cash provided by operating activities was
$1,979,263 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a
decrease from $2,167,232 for the same period in 1995.  The
decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of Trails at
Meadowlakes and Cypress Lakes in July 1995.

Rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $1,185,400 and $3,557,572, respectively, compared with
$1,334,083 and $5,181,081, respectively, for the corresponding
periods in 1995.  The decrease reflects the sale of Trails at
Meadowlakes and Cypress Lakes, and was partially offset by
increases in rental income at three of the four remaining
properties primarily as a result of increased rental rates.

Property operating expenses for the three and nine months ending
September 30, 1996 decreased to $624,697 and $1,877,876,
respectively, from $807,612 and $2,992,013, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 1995 primarily due to the sale of Trails
at Meadowlakes and Cypress Lakes.  Depreciation for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 was lower compared to the
same period in 1995 also due to the July 1995 sale of Trails at
Meadowlakes and Cypress Lakes.  Interest expense was eliminated
due to the repayment of the mortgage secured by Trails at
Meadowlakes at the time the property was sold.  General and
Administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 declined to $58,543 and $134,923,
respectively, from $61,771 and $158,644, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 1995 primarily due to decreases in legal
fees and appraisal fees, partially offset by higher Partnership
administrative expenses.  During the first nine months of 1996
and 1995, average occupancy levels at each of the properties were
as follows:
                             
          Property                        1996        1995
          Pelican Landing                  97%         97%
          River Hill Apartments            96%         96%
          Shadowood Village                95%         95%
