ITEM 5.  Other Events
                                                   
       On August 27, 1997, Equity Residential Properties Trust, a Maryland real
estate investment trust (EQR"), and Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc., a
Maryland corporation ("EWR"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of August 27, 1997 pursuant to which EWR will merge with and into EQR (the
"Merger"). EWR and its subsidiaries own and operate 55 multifamily properties
containing 15,932 units in the Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona metropolitan areas
and Southern California. Pursuant to the Merger, the shares of common stock of
EWR issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will be converted
into 0.50 of a common share of beneficial interest of EQR. EQR is filing the
information contained herein in order to provide investors with additional
information relating to the Merger. The Merger is subject to approval of the
shareholders of EQR and EWR and, therefore, completion of the Merger is
conditioned upon such approval and certain other closing conditions. Upon
completion of the Merger, Mr. Stephen O. Evans, the Chairman of the Board of
EWR, will become a trustee of EQR.

       In connection with the Merger, EQR is hereby filing additional
information contained in EWR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June
30, 1997 regarding the business and properties of EWR to be acquired in the
Merger as follows:

General

       Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc. was formed in August 1994 as a self-
managed and self-administered real estate investment trust to continue and
expand the multifamily apartment operations of Evans Withycombe. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" shall include EWR, its
predecessor, Evans Withycombe, Inc., and its affiliates, predecessors and
partners (collectively, "Evans Withycombe"), Evans Withycombe Residential, L.P.,
Evans Withycombe Finance Partnership, L.P., Evans Withycombe Finance, Inc. and
Evans Withycombe Management, Inc. The Company is regionally focused in Arizona
and Southern California.

       The Company's portfolio consists of stabilized communities and
communities under construction and in lease-up:

 .    Stabilized Communities. At December 31, 1996, the Company owned and managed
     49 stabilized apartment communities (a property is considered stabilized
     when it reaches 93 percent occupancy) located in metro Phoenix, Arizona;
     metro Tucson, Arizona; and Riverside/San Bernardino, California. The
     stabilized portfolio increased 2,852 units or 25.8 percent from 11,053
     units at December 31, 1995 to 13,905 units at December 31, 1996.

 .    Communities Under Construction And In Lease-Up. At December 31, 1996, the
     Company owned five apartment communities under construction and in lease-up
     with a total of 1,078 apartments. Three of these communities were new
     developments and two were expansions of existing communities owned by the
     Company.

Company Formation

       The Company was incorporated on May 24, 1994 to develop, acquire, own and
manage upscale multifamily apartment communities.  On August 17, 1994, the
Company completed an initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and
engaged in various formation transactions designed to transfer ownership of the
communities and other assets of the predecessor company to Evans Withycombe
Residential, L. P. (the "Operating Partnership") or Evans Withycombe Finance
Partnership, L.P. (the "Financing Partnership").  The Company is the sole
general partner of and owned a 79.7 percent  interest in the Operating
Partnership at December 31, 1996.  The Operating Partnership owns 99 percent of
the Financing Partnership.  The remaining one percent interest in the Financing
Partnership is owned by Evans Withycombe Finance, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.  The Company also holds a noncontrolling interest in
Evans Withycombe Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").

       The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") for Federal income tax purposes.  A corporate REIT is a legal entity
which holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to
shareholders, is permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal income
taxes at the corporate level.  The Company was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Maryland in May 1994.  The Company's principal executive offices
are located at 6991 East Camelback Road, Suite A-200, Scottsdale, Arizona  85251
and its telephone number is (602) 840-1040.  To maintain the Company's
qualifications as a REIT while realizing income from its fee management and
related service business, the Company's management operations are conducted
through the Management Company pursuant to the terms of a management agreement.

Competition

       The Communities are located in areas that include other apartment
communities and that may include new apartment communities that are under
construction.  The number of competitive communities in a particular area could
have an effect on the Company's ability to lease apartments at the Communities
or at any newly developed or acquired properties and on the rents charged by the
Company.  In addition, other forms of housing, such as single family homes,
townhomes and condominiums provide alternatives to potential residents of high
quality apartment complexes like the Communities.

Environmental Matters

       Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be
required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum
product releases at such property, and may be held liable to a governmental
entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-
up costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination.

       The Company believes that the Communities are in compliance in all
material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products.  The
Company has not been notified by any governmental authority, and is not
otherwise aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to
hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of
its present properties.

Employees

       As of January 15, 1997, the Company, primarily through the Management
Company, employed 583 persons.  The Management Company and/or the Operating
Partnership employ substantially all of the professional employees that are
currently engaged in the residential property management, development,
acquisition and construction businesses of the Company.  The Company believes
that its relations with its employees are good.

Regulation

       Apartment communities are subject to various laws, ordinances and
regulations, including laws, ordinances and regulations related to fair housing,
Americans with disabilities and building safety.  The Company believes that each
Community has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business and
that each Community is in material compliance with present laws, ordinances and
regulations.

Seasonality

       The fall and winter months in the Company's Arizona markets generally
experience somewhat higher seasonal occupancies.

occupancy in the third quarter of 1998. The Company currently anticipates that
it will develop three additional communities in the Phoenix area (with
approximately an aggregate of 635 units) and the second phase of the Retreat
(with an additional 240 units) over the course of the next two years. The
Company currently estimates that such developments, if completed, would reach
stabilized occupancy during the latter part of 1998 through the end of 1999.
There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in obtaining any
necessary governmental approvals or any financing required to develop the
remaining sites or the completion of phase II of the Retreat, or that the
Company will decide to develop any particular project.

       The forward-looking information set forth in the table and paragraph
above is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that are inherently
subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond the Company's control. The actual development cost,
completion date and stabilization date of any project will be dependent upon a
variety of factors beyond the control of the Company including, for example,
labor and other personnel costs, material costs, weather conditions, government
fees and leasing rates.

ITEM 7.   Financial Statements, Pro forma Financial Information and Exhibits

           (a) Financial Statements of Business to be Acquired
     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF EVANS WITHYCOMBE RESIDENTIAL, INC.
      
                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc.

       We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evans
Withycombe Residential, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule. These
financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

       We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

       In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
the Company at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion the related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects the information set forth therein.

                      EVANS WITHYCOMBE RESIDENTIAL, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               December 31, 1996
   (Amounts in thousands, except for number of shares or units and per share
                                   amounts)


1.     Organization and Formation of the Company

       Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc. (the "Company") is one of the largest
developers and managers of upscale apartment communities in Arizona and is
expanding its operation into selected sub-markets in Southern California. The
Company owns and manages 49 stabilized multifamily apartment communities
containing 13,905 units, of which 44 stabilized multifamily apartment
communities are located in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, containing a total of
12,005 units and five stabilized multifamily apartment communities are located
in the Riverside/San Bernardino, California market containing a total of 1,900
units. The Company considers an apartment community stabilized when it reaches
93 percent physical occupancy. The Company is also in the process of developing
or expanding five multifamily apartment communities comprising 1,078 units in
its Arizona markets. The Company is fully integrated with expertise in
development, acquisitions, construction and management of apartment communities.
The Company had approximately 580 employees at December 31, 1996.

       The Company was incorporated on May 24, 1994 to develop, acquire, own and
manage upscale multifamily apartment communities. On August 17, 1994, the
Company completed an initial public offering and engaged in various formation
transactions designed to transfer ownership of the communities and other assets
of the predecessor company to Evans Withycombe Residential, L. P. (the
"Operating Partnership") or Evans Withycombe Finance Partnership, L.P. (the
"Financing Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of and owned a
79.7 percent, 77.02 percent and 79.50 percent interest in the Operating
Partnership at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company also
holds a noncontrolling interest in Evans Withycombe Management, Inc. (the
"Management Company").

       In the second quarter of 1996, the Company completed the Second Offering.
The net proceeds from the Second Offering were used to repay a portion of the
Revolving Credit Facility.

       The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") for Federal income tax purposes. A corporate REIT is a legal entity
which holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to
stockholders, is permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal income
taxes at the corporate level.

2.     Basis of Presentation

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Evans Withycombe
Residential, Inc. include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the
Operating Partnership, the Financing Partnership and the Management Company from
the date of the Offering, August 17, 1994. The accompanying financial statements
of Evans Withycombe Residential Group (the "Predecessor") prior to August 17,
1994, include the accounts of various partnerships sponsored by Evans
Withycombe. The Predecessor was a combination of affiliated entities that had
ownership in multifamily communities in the Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona area; it
was not a separate legal entity. The Predecessor accounts are presented on a
combined basis because all of the communities were managed by Evans Withycombe
which had a significant ownership interest in each of the communities and
because these communities were the subject of business combination in connection
with the formation of the Company.

       All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

       Certain amounts in the 1995 balance sheet and statement of stockholders'
equity have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

3.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

                                      14

 
Real Estate Assets and Depreciation

       The Company records its real estate assets in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", which
was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in March 1995 and the
Company adopted in 1996. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets such as
real estate assets, be reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of
the estimated future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges)
from an asset to be held and used is less than the book value of the asset, an
impairment loss must be recognized in the amount of the difference between book
value and fair value as opposed to the difference between book value and net
realizable value under the previous accounting standard. For long-term assets
like apartment communities, the determination of whether there is an impairment
loss is dependent primarily on the Company's estimates on occupancy, rent and
expense increases, which involves numerous assumptions and judgments as to
future events over a period of many years. At December 31, 1996 the Company does
not hold any assets that meet the impairment criteria of SFAS No. 121.

       Costs related directly to the acquisition and improvement of real estate
are capitalized. Interest costs incurred during construction of a new property
are capitalized until completion of construction on a building-by-building
basis. Interest capitalized was $2,714, $5,048 and $2,724, for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

       Ordinary repairs, maintenance and costs incurred in connection with
resident turnover such as unit cleaning, painting, and carpet cleaning are
expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a
straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of depreciable property,
which ranges from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to
eight years for furnishings and equipment.

       The Company reports developments and lease-up properties as construction-
in-progress until construction on the apartment community has been completed and
the apartment community has reached stabilized occupancy.

       The Company also reports land relating to construction-in-progress as
land on its balance sheet. Land associated with construction-in-progress was
$16,542 and $16,414 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

       Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due
from residents. Leases are for periods of up to one year, with rental payments
due monthly.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

       Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and cash equivalent
investments with original maturities of three months or less, primarily
consisting of demand deposits in banks.

Restricted Cash

       Restricted cash includes restricted deposits for sinking fund accounts
related to tax exempt bonds, property taxes and escrow accounts.

Deferred Costs

       Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are deferred. These costs
are amortized on the effective interest method over the terms of the related
debt agreements.

Income Taxes

       The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT and accordingly,
no federal or state income taxes have been provided in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates


       The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Earnings Per Share

       Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period ended December 31, 1994,
respectively, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Historical
earnings per share data for the periods ended prior to the Offering on August
17, 1994 are not relevant since the financial information prior to such date is
comprised of combined operations of partnerships and corporations.

4.     Other

       Prior to the Initial Public Offering, Evans Withycombe, Inc. had in place
an Executive Incentive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Executive Plan").
Pursuant to the Executive Plan, certain executives of Evans Withycombe, Inc.
(the "Participants") were granted unfunded, unsecured rights to receive cash
payments based on the distributions from certain partnerships in which Evans
Withycombe owned an interest. The awards would have vested over a six-year
period from the date of grant. In connection with the Initial Public Offering,
all rights of Participants under the Executive Plan were canceled, and the
participants received (a) an aggregate of approximately $2,600 in cash which was
funded by Evans Withycombe, Inc. prior to the Initial Public Offering and (b)
the right to receive an aggregate of 98,500 shares of restricted stock from the
Company one year following the Offering if they remain as employees of the
Company during such period. One third of the shares will vest on each of the
second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Offering based on an offering
price per share of $20 (See Stock Incentive Plan footnote). The $2,600 cash
payment, which represents an estimate of the executives' vested share of the
gain, was expensed by Evans Withycombe, Inc. during the third quarter of 1994
prior to the Initial Public Offering.

       In connection with the repayment of existing indebtedness at the time of
the offering, prepayment penalties and lender participation (additional
interest) totaling $2,600 were paid.

The $225 million Revolving Credit Facility provides funding for working capital,
construction activities and acquisitions.

The Company has three direct pay letters of credit of $17,500, $22,800 and
$24,400 which serve as a credit enhancement for the tax exempt bonds.  The
letters of credit are secured by a first mortgage on four apartment
communities.

On January 9, 1997, the Company extinguished the debt on three mortgages with
unpaid principal balances of approximately $18,700 with proceeds from the
Revolving Credit Facility.  As a result, the Company incurred a loss from the
early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1,200.  The Company prepaid the
$6,225 mortgage note on January 31, 1997 with proceeds from the Revolving
Credit Facility which resulted in an additional loss from the early
extinguishment of debt of approximately $300.  The loss from early
extinguishment of debt was recorded by the Company in the first quarter 1997.

6.  Distributions

On December 31, 1996, the Company paid a distribution of $.40 per share ($7,311)
to shareholders and $.40 per unit ($1,906) to unitholders of record as of
December 24, 1996. Approximately 36 percent and 30 percent of the dividends and
distributions paid during 1996 and 1995 represented return of capital to the
shareholders and unitholders.

7.  Management and Development Fees

The Company performs management services for certain unaffiliated communities.
Management fees received from managed communities were $1,157, $1,268, and
$1,668 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Included in 1996 third party management fees is a non recurring $500 fee
received in exchange for terminating the management contract on nine apartment
communities containing 1,298 apartment units in the second quarter of 1996.

Prior to the Offering, in conjunction with development of projects, the
communities paid development fees to affiliates of $4,554 for the period ended
August 16, 1994.

8.  Retirement Plan

The Company has a defined contribution wealth accumulation plan and trust (the
"Plan") covering all employees who have elected to participate in the Plan.
Each participant may make pretax contributions to the Plan up to the maximum
allowed by the IRS. The Company makes a matching contribution of 25 percent of
the participant's contribution up to 1 percent of a participant's salary,
which totaled $113, $53, and $91 for 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $360,
$300, and $288, respectively.
 
10.  Stock Incentive Plan

Stock Option Plan

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required
by Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for
its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The
fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions
for 1995 and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.5% and 6.5%;
dividend yields of 7.5% and 7.4%; volatility factors of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of 0.18 and 0.18; and a weighted-average
expected life of the option of 5 years. Because Statement 123 is applicable
only to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, its pro forma effect
will not be fully reflected until 1997.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable.  In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock
options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.  The Company's pro
forma information follows (amounts in thousands except for earnings per share
information):




                                                          1996          1995

          Pro forma primary earnings per share           $  0.84       $  1.01


Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1996 ranged from
$18.25 to $22.25.  The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those
options is 7.6 years.

12.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management
using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
Judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial
instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accruals are
carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair values as of December
31, 1996 and 1995. The Company's debt has an estimated aggregate fair value of
approximately $437,800 at December 31, 1996 compared to the carrying value of
$436,172. At December 31, 1995, the Company's debt had an estimated fair value
of approximately $298,800 compared to the carrying value of $297,456. Fair
values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on interest
rates currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms
and remaining maturities.

                                  (Unaudited)


1. Organization and Formation of the Company


Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc. (the "Company") is one of the largest
developers and managers of upscale apartment communities in Arizona and is
expanding its operations into selected sub-markets in Southern California.  The
Company owns and manages 52 stabilized multifamily apartment communities
containing 14,723 units, of which 45 stabilized multifamily apartment
communities are located in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, containing a total of
12,325 units and seven stabilized multifamily apartment communities are located
in the Southern California market containing a total of 2,398 units.  The
Company is also in the process of developing or expanding three multifamily
apartment communities comprising 720 units in its Phoenix market.  The Company
is fully integrated with expertise in development, acquisitions, construction
and management of apartment communities.  The Company had approximately 600
employees at June 30, 1997.

The Company was incorporated on May 24, 1994 to develop, acquire, own and manage
upscale multifamily apartment communities.  On August 17, 1994, the Company
completed an Initial Public Offering and engaged in various formation
transactions designed to transfer ownership of the communities and other assets
of the predecessor company to Evans Withycombe Residential, L. P. (the
"Operating Partnership") or Evans Withycombe Finance Partnership, L.P. (the
"Financing Partnership").  The Company is the sole general partner of and owned
a 81.46 percent and 77.08 percent interest in the Operating Partnership at June
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company also holds a noncontrolling
interest in Evans Withycombe Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").

In the second quarter of 1996, the Company completed the Second Public Offering.
The net proceeds of $40,891 from the sale of 2,088,889 shares of common stock
from the Second Public Offering were used to repay a portion of the $150 million
unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (Revolving Credit Facility).

In the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the Third Public Offering.
The net proceeds of $35,415 from the sale of 1,800,000 shares of common stock
from the Third  Public Offering were used to repay a portion of the Revolving
Credit Facility.

The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for
Federal income tax purposes.   A corporate REIT is a legal entity which holds
real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is
permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal income taxes at the
corporate level.


2. Basis of Presentation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Evans Withycombe
Residential, Inc. include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the
Operating Partnership, the Financing Partnership and the Management Company.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been presented
by the Company's management in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of
operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1997.

                                      36

 
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's December 31, 1996 audited consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes in the Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc. Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A.


3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Real Estate Assets and Depreciation

The Company records its real estate assets in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".  SFAS No. 121
requires that long-lived assets such as real estate assets, be reviewed whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may
not be recoverable.  If the sum of the estimated future net cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) from an asset to be held and used is
less than the book value of the asset, an impairment loss must be recognized in
the amount of the difference between book value and fair value as opposed to the
difference between book value and net realizable value under the previous
accounting standard.  For long-term assets like apartment communities, the
determination of whether there is an impairment loss is dependent primarily on
the Company's estimates on occupancy, rent and expense increases, which involves
numerous assumptions and judgments as to future events over a period of many
years. At June 30, 1997 the Company does not hold any assets that meet the
impairment criteria of SFAS No. 121.


Costs related directly to the acquisition and improvement of real estate are
capitalized. Interest costs incurred during construction of a new property are
capitalized until completion of construction on a building-by-building basis.
Interest capitalized was $493 and $970 and $744 and $1,464, for the three and
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


Ordinary repairs, maintenance and costs incurred in connection with resident
turnover such as unit cleaning, painting, and carpet cleaning are expensed as
incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line
basis over the expected useful lives of depreciable property, which ranges from
10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to eight years for
furnishings and equipment.


The Company reports developments and lease-up properties as construction-in-
progress until construction on the apartment community has been completed and
the apartment community has reached stabilized occupancy.


The Company also reports land relating to construction-in-progress as land on
its balance sheet.  Land associated with construction-in-progress was $10,802
and $12,060 at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.


Revenue Recognition

Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
residents. Leases are for periods of up to one year, with rental payments due
monthly.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and cash equivalent investments with
original maturities of three months or less, primarily consisting of demand
deposits in banks.


Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes restricted deposits held by third party intermediaries
for the purpose of completing an IRS Section 1031 tax free exchange, sinking
fund accounts related to tax exempt bonds, property taxes and escrow accounts.

                                       37

 
Deferred Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are deferred. These costs are
amortized on the effective interest method over the terms of the related debt
agreements.


Income Taxes

The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT and accordingly, no
federal or state income taxes have been provided in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.


Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income for the three and
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period.


In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.  At
that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to
compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods presented.  Under
the new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the dilutive
effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact of SFAS No. 128 is not
expected to be material.

On June 13, 1997, the Company amended its existing $225 million Revolving Credit
Facility with a bank group to decrease the commitment amount from $225 million
to $150 million and decrease the interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.50 percent to
LIBOR plus 1.15 percent.

The $150 million Revolving Credit Facility provides funding for working capital,
construction activities and acquisitions.

The Company has three direct pay letters of credit of $17,500, $22,800 and
$24,400 which serve as a credit enhancement for the tax exempt bonds.  The
letters of credit are secured by a first mortgage on four apartment communities.

8.  Stock Incentive Plan

Stock Option Plan

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," requires use of option valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing employee stock options.  Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Proforma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS No. 123 and is provided by the Company in its annual report.

Initially 1,830,000  shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for
issuance under the plan.  Information with respect to stock options granted
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 is as follows:
