Item 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure.

On December 11, 2003, NHP Management Company, a Delaware corporation ("NHP"),
entered into a Redemption and Contribution Agreement (the "Agreement") with
Winthrop Financial Associates, A Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited
partnership ("Winthrop"), which was the previous general partner of Riverside
Park Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") with a 3% interest.
Pursuant to the Agreement, on April 30, 2004, NHP acquired the general
partnership interest in the Partnership through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
AIMCO/Riverside Park Associates GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
in exchange for an allocated price of $1,000.

NHP is the associate general partner of Winthrop. The Agreement also
contemplates the transfer of the associate general partnership interest in
Winthrop from NHP to Winthrop. Prior to the transfer of the general partnership
interest in the Partnership, this associate general partner interest allowed NHP
to act on behalf of Winthrop, in its capacity as the general partner of the
Partnership.
