Certain matters discussed under the captions "Description of Business," 
"Description of Properties," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-KSB may constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of Section 21E of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such involve known and 
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual 
results, performance or achievements of Windsor Park Properties 4, a California 
Limited Partnership to be materially different from any future results, 
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking 
statements.

Item 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
         -----------------------

Windsor Park Properties 4, a California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"),
was formed in June 1986 pursuant to the provisions of the California Uniform
Limited Partnership Act. The general partners of the Partnership are The Windsor
Corporation, a California corporation ("The Windsor Corporation"), and John A.
Coseo, Jr. In September of 1997, Chateau Communities, Inc. ("Chateau"), a
publicly-held real estate investment trust, purchased all of the outstanding
capital stock of The Windsor Corporation in exchange for 101,239 common shares
of Chateau stock and $750,000 in cash. Following the purchase of The Windsor
Corporation shares, the existing directors of The Windsor Corporation resigned,
Chateau then appointed a new Board of Directors and elected Steven G. Waite (a
Vice President of Chateau) as President to the Windsor Corporation.

Expiration Of Term Of Partnership
---------------------------------

In accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership, the term 
of the Partnership expired on December 31, 1997 and, unless the term of the 
Partnership is extended, the general partners are obligated to take actions to 
liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 
1997, the general partners began to develop a plan to liquidate the Partnership.
The first phase of such plan of liquidation involved the Partnership's marketing
of its Sunrise Village property, a wholly-owned property, and Harmony Ranch
property, a partially-owned property, for sale. As a result, the Partnership
sold the Sunrise Village Property for approximately $1.7 million to a third
party in May 1998. The second phase of such plan of liquidation involved the
sale by the Partnership of its remaining assets not sold to third parties to
N'Tandem Trust, an externally-advised California business trust in which
Chateau, as of March 31, 1999, held 17% of the outstanding common stock
("N'Tandem"). Accordingly, the Partnership and N'Tandem have proposed a
transaction whereby the Partnership would sell its single remaining wholly-owned
property and its six partially-owned properties to N'Tandem. The consummation of
the proposed transaction with N'Tandem is subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including the approval of a majority of the Partnership's limited
partners. If the proposed transaction with N'Tandem is consummated, the
Partnership will be liquidated and dissolved and liquidating distributions will
be made to limited partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership's
Agreement of Limited Partnership.

The general partners anticipate that all of the Partnership's properties and
ownership interests in properties will be sold on or before June 30, 1999.

The Partnership owns interests in the following manufactured home communities at
December 31, 1998:

In April, 1998, the General Partners completed the sale of the Sunrise Village
property to an unaffiliated third party for approximately $1.7 million in which
the proceeds were used to payoff the Partnership's outstanding mortgage debt.

The Apache East and Denali Park Estates properties are owned by Windsor Park 345
("Windsor Park 345"), a California Limited Partnership.  The Partnership is a
25% limited partner in Windsor Park 345. The Windsor Corporation, a General
Partner of the Partnership, is the general partner of Windsor Park 345, and of
Windsor Park Properties 3, a California Limited Partnership ("Windsor 3"),
Windsor Park Properties 5, a California Limited Partnership ("Windsor 5"),
Windsor Park Properties 7, a California Limited Partnership ("Windsor 7"), which
together own the remainder of the limited partner interests in Windsor Park 345.

The Rancho Margate and Winter Haven Properties are owned by Windsor Park 456
("Windsor Park 456"), a California Limited Partnership.  The Partnership is a
33% limited partner in Windsor Park 456. The Windsor Corporation, a General
Partner of the Partnership, is the general partner of Windsor Park 456, and of
Windsor Park Properties 5, a California Limited Partnership ("Windsor 5") and
Windsor Park Properties 6, a California Limited Partnership ("Windsor 6"), which
partnerships own the remaining 67% limited partner interest in Windsor Park 456.

The Partnership owns (i) a 60 percent undivided interest in Big Country Estates
as a tenant in common with Windsor 3, which owns a 40 percent undivided interest
in the Property and the Partnership (ii) owns a 75 percent undivided interest in
Harmony Ranch, as a tenant in common with Windsor 3, which owns the remaining 25
percent.  Each of the Partnership's ownership interests in the Big Country
Estates and Harmony Ranch properties are subject to joint venture agreements
relating to such properties between the Partnership and Windsor 3.

No further property financings or investment property acquisitions are planned
by the General Partners.

The overall occupancy of the seven communities owned by the Partnership at
December 31, 1998 was approximately 95%.  The General Partners continue to
maintain the properties in good condition and promote them to improve occupancy.

Business of Issuer
------------------

The Partnership is currently in the business of managing, and eventually selling
the existing manufactured home communities.  Competitors of the Partnership
include other public and private limited partnerships, individuals,
corporations, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities.
Competition for such properties varies with changes in the supply or demand for
similar or competing properties in a given area, changes in interest rates and
the availability of mortgage funds, and changes in tax, real estate,
environmental, and zoning laws.

Partnership profitability depends in part on maximizing occupancy and rental
rates in its manufactured home communities. Rents and occupancy rates are
affected by both changes in general economic conditions and changes in local
conditions such as levels of employment, supply of other comparable units or
competitive housing alternatives, zoning laws, and the availability and cost of
energy and transportation.

All of the Partnership's properties are located in or near large urban areas.
Accordingly, they compete for rentals not only with other manufactured home
communities but with apartments and any other form of low-cost housing that
might exist.

The Partnership's profitability also depends on the minimization of both
property and partnership administration expenses.  Expenses are affected by
changes in general economic trends and changes in local conditions such as
prevailing wages, utility rates, insurance costs, and real estate taxation
practices.

The Partnership has no employees.  Partnership administrative services are
provided by The Windsor Corporation, which is reimbursed for costs incurred on
behalf of the Partnership.  Chateau Communities, Inc. employs all of the
properties' on-site personnel and is reimbursed by the Partnership for all such
costs.

Item 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
         -------------------------

The Partnership owned interests in seven properties at December 31, 1998.  The
Partnership operates its properties as manufactured home communities, renting
space to manufactured home tenants on a month-to-month basis.  The properties
compete for rentals with other mobile home parks and apartments in their local
markets.  All properties are encumbered except Big Country Estates and Sunset
Vista.  It is the General Partners' opinion that the properties are in good
condition and are adequately insured.

Item 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         ------------------------------------

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Partnership's primary sources of cash during the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1997 were from the operations of its properties, joint venture
distributions and proceeds from the sale of Sunrise Village.  The primary uses
of cash during the same period were for investments in joint ventures, cash
distributions to partners and payoff of the Partnership's Mortgage Note.

At December 31, 1998, the Partnership's total mortgage debt, including its
proportionate share of joint venture debt, was $3,375,000, consisting of
$900,000 of fixed rate debt and $2,475,000 of variable rate debt.  The average
rate of interest on the fixed and variable rate debt was 8.9% at December 31,
1998. The Partnership and the affiliated entities are jointly and severally 
liable for the full amounts of the loans obtained jointly.

Expiration Of Term Of Partnership
---------------------------------

In accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership, the term 
of the Partnership expired on December 31, 1997 and, unless the term of the 
Partnership is extended, the General Partners are obligated to take actions to 
liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 
1997, the General Partners began to develop a plan to liquidate the 
Partnership. The first phase of such plan of liquidation involved the 
Partnership's marketing of its Sunrise Village property, a wholly-owned 
property, and Harmony Ranch property, a partially-owned property, for sale. As a
result, the Partnership sold the Sunrise Village Property to a third party in 
May 1998. The second phase of such plan of liquidation involved the sale by the 
Partnership of its remaining assets not sold to third parties to N'Tandem. 
Accordingly, the Partnership and N'Tandem have proposed a transaction whereby 
the Partnership would sell its single remaining wholly-owned property and its 
six partially-owned properties to N'Tandem. The consummation of the proposed 
transaction with N'Tandem is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, 
including the approval of a majority of the Partnership's limited partners.

The General Partners anticipate that all of the Partnership's properties and
ownership interests in properties will be sold on or before June 30, 1999.

Results of Operations
---------------------

The Partnership realized net income before extraordinary item of $209,500 for
the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $38,900 for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The increase in net income is primarily due to the gain of
$115,000 on the sale of Sunrise Village and the decrease in operating expenses,
interest expense and depreciation expense as a result of the Sunrise Village
sale in April 1998 and an increase in equity in earnings of the joint venture
properties, offset by a decrease in rent and other revenues due to the Sunrise
Village sale.

Rent and utilities revenues decreased from $1,169,500 in 1997 to $815,500 in
1998.  The overall decrease is attributable to the sale of Sunrise Village in
April of 1998.

Equity in earnings of joint ventures represents the Partnership's share of the
net income of the Big Country, Harmony Ranch, Rancho Margate, Winter Haven,
Apache East and Denali Park manufactured home communities.  Equity in earnings
of joint ventures increased from $104,900 in 1997 to $110,900 in 1998, due
mainly to the increased occupancy of Apache East and Denali Park.  The overall
occupancy of the Partnership's ownership interest properties increased from 93%
at December 31, 1997 to 94% at December 31, 1998.

Interest income decreased from $29,200 in 1997 to $24,600 due to lower average
cash balances maintained by the Partnership.

Property operating costs decreased from $809,100 in 1997 to $471,200 in 1998.
The decrease is attributable mainly to the sale of Sunrise Village.

Interest expense decreased from $172,300 in 1997 to $126,000 in 1998.  Proceeds
from the sale of Sunrise Village were used to payoff the loan held by the
Partnership.  Interest expense in 1998 includes the remaining loan origination
fee expensed at the time of sale.

                                       8
<PAGE>

Depreciation expense decreased from $239,100 in 1997 to $185,900 in 1998 due to 
the sale of Sunrise Village.

General and administrative expenses decreased slightly from $100,100 in 1997 to 
$90,900 in 1998.

Inflation 
---------

All of the leases or terms of tenants' occupancies at the properties allow for 
at least annual rental adjustments. In addition, all of the lease are 
month-to-month and enable the Partnership to seek market rentals upon reletting 
the sites. Such leases generally minimize the risk to the Partnership of any 
adverse effect of inflation.

Year 2000 Compliance
--------------------

The general partners have assessed the impact of the year 2000 issue on its
reporting systems and operations. The year 2000 issue exists because many
computer systems and applications abbreviate dates by eliminating the first two
digits of the year, assuming that these two digits are always "19". As a result,
date-sensitive computer programs may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. Unless corrected, the potential exists for
computer system failures or incorrect processing of financial and operational
information, which could disrupt operations.

Substantially all of the computer systems and applications and operating systems
in use by the Windsor Corporation and the properties have been, or are in the
process of being upgraded and modified. The Partnership is of the opinion that,
in connection with those upgrades and modifications, it has addressed applicable
year 2000 issues as they might affect the computer systems and applications
located in the Partnership's offices and properties. The Partnership anticipates
that implementation of solutions to any year 2000 issue which it may discover
will require the expenditure of sums which the Partnership does not expect to be
material.

The Partnership is exposed to the risk that one or more of its vendors or
service providers may experience year 2000 problems which impact the ability of
such vendor or service provider to provide goods and services.  Due to the
availability of alternative suppliers, this is not considered as significant a
risk with respect to the suppliers of goods.  The disruption of certain
services, however, such as utilities, could, depending upon the extent of the
disruption, have a material adverse impact on the Partnership's operations.  To
date, the Partnership is not aware of any vendor or service provider year 2000
issue that management believes would have a material adverse impact on the
Partnership's operations.  The Partnership, however, has no means of ensuring
that its vendors or service providers will be year 2000 ready.  The inability of
vendors or service providers to complete the year 2000 resolution process in a
timely fashion could have an adverse impact on the Partnership and the effect of
non-compliance by vendors or service providers is not determinable at this time.
Residents who pay rent to the Partnership do not pose year 2000 problems for the
Partnership given the type and nature of the Partnership's properties and
residents.

Widespread disruptions in the national or international economy, including
disruptions affecting the financial markets, resulting from year 2000 issues, or
in certain industries, such as commercial or investment banks, could also have
an adverse impact on the Partnership.  The likelihood and effect of such
disruptions is not determinable at this time.

The Partnership expects to have all systems appropriately modified before any
significant processing malfunctions could occur and does not expect the year
2000 issue will materially impact the financial condition or operations of the
Partnership.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of Windsor Park Properties 4,
(a California Limited Partnership)



In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Windsor Park Properties 4, a California
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") at December 31, 1998, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.


As discussed in Note 1, the Partnership's term has expired. Accordingly, it is
the intention of the general partner to sell all of the Partnership's
properties. Following the consummation of such sales, the Partnership will be
liquidated and dissolved, and liquidating distributions will be made to the
Partners in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

                           WINDSOR PARK PROPERTIES 4
                      (A California Limited Partnership)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

NOTE 1.  THE PARTNERSHIP AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         --------------------------------------------------------------

The Partnership
---------------

Windsor Park Properties 4, a California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"),
was formed in June 1986 for the purpose of acquiring and holding existing
manufactured home communities for investment.  The general partners of the
Partnership are The Windsor Corporation ("TWC"), a California corporation, and
John A. Coseo, Jr. In September 1997, Chateau Communities, Inc., ("Chateau") a
publicly held real estate investment trust, purchased 100 percent of the shares
of The Windsor Corporation.  The Partnership was funded through a public
offering of 200,000 limited partnership units at $100 per unit, which commenced
in September 1986 and terminated in September 1987.

In accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership, the term
of the Partnership expired on December 31, 1997 and, unless the term of the
Partnership is extended, the general partners are obligated to take actions to
liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. Accordingly, in the first quarter of
1997, the general partners began to develop a plan to liquidate the Partnership.
The first phase of such plan of liquidation involved the Partnership's marketing
of its Sunrise Village property, a wholly-owned property, and Harmony Ranch
property, a partially-owned property, for sale. As a result, the Partnership
sold the Sunrise Village Property for approximately $1.7 million to a third
party in May 1998. The second phase of such plan of liquidation involved the
sale by the Partnership of its remaining assets not sold to third parties to
N'Tandem Trust, an externally-advised California business trust in which
Chateau, as of March 31, 1999, held 17% of the outstanding common stock
("N'Tandem"). Accordingly, the Partnership and N'Tandem have proposed a
transaction whereby the Partnership would sell it single remaining wholly-owned
property and its six partially-owned properties to N'Tandem. The consummation of
the proposed transaction with N'Tandem is subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including the approval of a majority of the Partnership's limited
partners. If the proposed transaction with N'Tandem is consummated, the
Partnership will be liquidated and dissolved and liquidating distributions will
be made to limited partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership's
Agreement of the Limited Partnership.

Property Held For Sale
----------------------

During 1998 and 1997, property held was recorded at the lower of cost or net
realizable value and depreciated over various estimated useful lives (buildings
and improvements - 5 to 20 years; fixtures and equipment - 3 to 5 years) using
the straight-line method. The Partnership has continued to operate its property
held for sale in the normal course of business and, accordingly, has continued
to record depreciation expense. When assets were sold or otherwise disposed of,
the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and
any gain or loss is included in net income. Repairs and maintenance were charged
to operations as incurred.

Investments in Joint Ventures and Limited Partnerships Held For Sale
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The investments in joint ventures are accounted for utilizing the equity method
of accounting as the properties are subject to joint control requiring approval
or mutual agreement of the investors. The investment in limited partnerships is
also accounted for utilizing the equity method as the limited partners have
significant rights.

Income Taxes
------------

Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, partnerships are generally not subject to income taxes.  The tax
effect of any income or loss accrues to the individual partners.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Limited Partnership Unit
-------------------------------------------------------

Basic and diluted earnings per limited partnership unit are calculated based on
the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the
year and the net income allocated, which is the same as income available, to the
limited partners.  Basic and diluted earnings per limited partnership unit are
the same, as the Partnership has no dilutive securities.  The weighted average
number of limited partnership units outstanding during the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997 was 195,429 and 196,334, respectively.

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
Statements of Cash Flows
------------------------

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates
----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
-------------------

Rental income is recognized when earned and due from residents.  The leases
entered into by residents for the rental of a site are generally for terms not
longer than one year and renewable upon the consent of both parties or, in some
instances, as provided by statute.

NOTE 2.  PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
         ---------------------

In accordance with the partnership agreement, the maximum liability of the
limited partners is the amount of their capital contributions.  The number of
limited partnership units outstanding at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was 195,266
and 195,576, respectively, which represented capital contributions of
$19,526,600 and $19,557,600, respectively. During the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1997, the Partnership repurchased 310 units and 1,519 units,
respectively for $13,800 and $37,600 respectively from the limited partners. The
general partners owned 1,030 units at both December 31, 1998 and 1997.

The general partners are entitled to receive from the Partnership various fees
and compensation which are summarized as follows:

Operational Stage
-----------------

The profits, losses and cash distributions of the Partnership during the
operational stage are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the
general partners.

The Partnership reimburses TWC for certain direct expenses, and employee,
executive and administrative time incurred on the Partnership's behalf.  The
Partnership was charged $29,600 and $74,700 for such costs during the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  These costs are included in
property operating and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
statements of operations.  As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership owed TWC
$20,600.

Liquidation Stage
-----------------

The general partners receive 1% of cash distributions from the sale or financing
of Partnership properties.  This participation increases to 15% after the
limited partners have received their original invested capital plus a 9%
cumulative, non-compounded, annual return.

The general partners generally receive 1% of profits and losses from the sale of
Partnership properties.  However, if applicable, profits on sale will first be
allocated 100% to the general partners to the extent of their negative capital
account.

                                       17

The general partners received cash distributions of $4,500 for each of the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.
