                                       PART I
Item 1.  BUSINESS

(a) GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OBJECTIVES

ConAm Realty Investors 5 L.P., formerly known as Hutton/ConAm Realty Investors
5, (the "Partnership") is a California limited partnership formed on June 28,
1984.  ConAm Property Services IV, Ltd. ("CPS IV"), a California limited
partnership, and RI 5 Real Estate Services, Inc. ("RI 5"), a Delaware
corporation, were the original co-general partners of the Partnership.  On
January 27, 1998, CPS IV acquired RI 5's co-general partner interest in the
Partnership, effective July 1, 1997, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement between
CPS IV and RI 5 dated August 29, 1997.  As a result, CPS IV now serves as the
sole general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership.  In
conjunction with this transaction, the name of the Partnership was changed from
Hutton/ConAm Realty Investors 5 to ConAm Realty Investors 5 L.P.

The Partnership was organized to engage in the business of acquiring, operating
and holding for investment multifamily residential properties.  The Partnership
originally invested in one residential apartment property and two joint
ventures, each of which owned a specified property.  As described below, one
property was sold in December 1996.  Funds held as a working capital reserve are
invested in bank certificates of deposit, unaffiliated money market funds or
other highly liquid short-term investments where there is appropriate safety of
principal in accordance with the Partnership's investment objectives and
policies.

The Partnership's principal investment objectives with respect to its interests
in real property are:

(1)  capital appreciation;

(2)  distribution of net cash from operations attributable to rental income; and

(3)  preservation and protection of capital.

Distribution of net cash from operations is the Partnership's objective during
its operational phase, while preservation and appreciation of capital are the
Partnership's long-term objectives.  The attainment of the Partnership's
investment objectives will depend on many factors, including future economic
conditions in the United States as a whole and, in particular, in the localities
in which the Partnership's properties are located, especially with regard to
achievement of capital appreciation.

From time to time the Partnership expects to sell its real property interests
taking into consideration such factors as the amount of appreciation in value,
if any, to be realized and the possible risks of continued ownership.  In
consideration of these factors and improving market conditions, the General
Partner intends to sell the remaining two properties over the next few years.
Proceeds from the sale, financing or refinancing of properties will not be
reinvested and may be distributed to the Limited Partners and General Partner
(sometimes referred to together herein as the "Partners"), so that the
Partnership will, in effect, be self-liquidating.  If deemed necessary, the
Partnership may retain a portion of the proceeds from any sale, financing or
refinancing as capital reserves.  As partial payment for properties sold, the
Partnership may receive purchase money obligations secured by mortgages or deeds
of trust.  In such cases, the amount of such obligations will not be included in
Net Proceeds From Sale or Refinancing (distributable to the Partners) until and
only to the extent the obligations are realized in cash, sold or otherwise
liquidated.

Originally, the Partnership utilized the net proceeds of its public offering to
acquire three residential apartment complexes (collectively, the "Properties")
either directly or through investments in joint ventures, as follows: (1)
Lakeview Village at Ponte Vedra Lakes, a 240-unit apartment complex, located in
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida; (2) The Hamptons at Quail Hollow, a 232-unit
apartment complex, located in Charlotte, North Carolina and (3) Canterbury
Park Apartments, a 96-unit apartment complex, located in Raleigh, North
Carolina. On December 10, 1996, Canterbury Park was sold to an unaffiliated
buyer for $6,387,300.  The General Partner intends to sell the remaining two
properties over the next few years.

The Partnership considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment,
real estate investment.

COMPETITION

The Partnership's real property investments are subject to competition from
similar types of properties in the vicinities in which they are located and such
competition has increased since the Partnership's investment in the Properties
due principally to the addition of newly constructed apartment complexes
offering increased residential and recreational amenities.  The Properties have
also been subject to competition from condominiums and single-family properties
especially during periods of low mortgage interest rates.  The Partnership
competes with other real estate owners and developers in the rental and leasing
of its Properties by offering competitive rental rates and, if necessary,
leasing incentives.  Such competition may affect the occupancy levels and
revenues of the Properties.  The occupancy levels at Lakeview Village in Ponte
Vedra Beach, Florida reflect some seasonality, which is typical in these
markets.  In some cases, the Partnership may compete with other properties owned
by partnerships affiliated with the General Partner of the Partnership.

For a discussion of current market conditions in the areas where the
Partnership's Properties are located, reference is made to the Partnership's
Annual Report to Unitholders for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997, which
is filed as an exhibit under Item 14.

EMPLOYEES

The Partnership has no employees.  Services are provided by CPS IV, ConAm
Management Corporation ("ConAm Management"), an affiliate of CPS IV, as well as
Service Data Corporation and First Data Investor Services Group, both
unaffiliated companies.  The Partnership has entered into management agreements
pursuant to which ConAm Management provides management services with respect to
the Properties.  First Data Investor Services Group had been retained by the
Partnership to provide all accounting and investor communication functions,
while Service Data Corporation provides transfer agent services.  Effective
December 1, 1997, the accounting functions of the Partnership have been
transferred to the firm of Brock, Tibbitts, & Snell, an unaffiliated company
located in San Diego, California.  See Item 13, "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions", for a further description of the service and management
agreements between the Partnership and affiliated entities.
