                Notes to Financial Statements

1. The Partnership

Dean   Witter  Realty  Income  Partnership  I,   L.P.   (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under  the
laws  of  the  State of Delaware in 1983.  The Partnership's
fiscal year ends on October 31.

The  Partnership's  records are maintained  on  the  accrual
basis   of  accounting  for  financial  reporting  and   tax
purposes.

Net  income per Unit of limited partnership interest amounts
are  calculated  by  dividing net income  allocated  to  the
Limited   Partners,  in  accordance  with  the   Partnership
Agreement,   by  the  weighted  average  number   of   Units
outstanding.

In  the  opinion  of management, the accompanying  financial
statements,  which  have  not  been  audited,  include   all
adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring  accruals,
necessary  to  present fairly the results  for  the  interim
periods.

These  financial  statements should be read  in  conjunction
with  the  annual  financial statements  and  notes  thereto
included  in  the Partnership's annual report on  Form  10-K
filed  with the Securities and Exchange Commission  for  the
year  ended  October 31, 1999. Operating results of  interim
periods  may not be indicative of the operating results  for
the entire year.

2. Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  provided
property  management  services  for  the  North  Lake  Plaza
property  until  January 1, 2000. The Partnership  paid  the
affiliate  management  fees  of  approximately  $8,000   and
$21,000  for the six months ended April 30, 2000  and  1999,
respectively.   These  amounts  are  included  in   property
operating expenses.

Another  affiliate of the Managing General Partner  performs
administrative   functions,   processes   certain   investor
transactions   and   prepares  tax   information   for   the
Partnership.  For the six months ended April  30,  2000  and
1999,  the  Partnership incurred approximately  $30,000  and
$51,000, respectively, for these services. These amounts are
included in general and administrative expenses.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During  the  three- and six-month periods  ended  April  30,
2000,   the  North  Lake  Plaza  shopping  center  generated
positive  cash  flow from operations, and it is  anticipated
that  the property will continue to do so during the  period
the Partnership continues to own it.

The  North  Lake Plaza property is located in  the  city  of
Altmonte  Springs, FL.  Due to changes in the city's  zoning
code, the property has become "non-conforming".  Although it
can still be occupied and used, the Managing General Partner
believes  that the "non-conforming" status of  the  property
has  made  it difficult to sell the property as  a  shopping
center  at  a price that reflects its full value. Therefore,
the Partnership has entered into an agreement with the city,
whereby  the  city will offer the North Lake Plaza  property
and  an  adjacent property owned by the city for sale  as  a
part  of  a  redevelopment plan, which  would  allow  higher
density  development  than  currently  exists.   Under   the
agreement,  the city has the sole authority  to  market  the
North Lake Plaza property for sale, but the Partnership will
not  be  required to sell North Lake Plaza if  the  offering
price is not acceptable to it.

The  Managing  General Partner, with the  assistance  of  an
outside  real  estate appraiser, has determined  the  market
value  which  reflects North Lake Plaza's highest  and  best
use. The Managing General Partner will use this valuation to
determine an acceptance price in conjunction with the city's
sale  process.   The Managing General Partner believes  that
the  minimum  acceptance  price will  be  greater  than  the
property's  carrying  value.   However,  there  can  be   no
assurance that an acceptable price will be realized and  the
property sold through the above-described plan.

The retail market in Altamonte Springs is improving.  During
the  second quarter of 2000, property occupancy remained  at
approximately   88%.   The  lease  for   Home   Depot   (for
approximately 50% of the property's space) is  scheduled  to
expire  in  2003.  The Burlington Coat Factory,  which  sub-
leased all the space leased to Home Depot, vacated the space
in  October  1999; however, both Home Depot  and  Burlington
remain obligated, and continue to pay rent, under the lease.
This  vacancy  is adversely impacting the sales  of  smaller
tenants at the property.  However, the

<PAGE>
Managing General Partner believes that this vacancy will not
adversely affect its ability to sell the property as part of
a redevelopment plan.

The  lease of Marshalls Inc. (for approximately 21%  of  the
space) is scheduled to expire in 2002.

The  Partnership  did not pay any cash distributions  during
the  six-month  period  ended April  30,  2000.   Generally,
future   cash  distributions  will  be  paid  from  proceeds
received from the sale of the North Lake Plaza property  and
cash reserves.

During  the six months ended April 30, 2000, the Partnership
added  the   cash  generated by  North  Lake  Plaza  to  the
Partnership's cash reserves.

The Partnership believes that its cash reserves are adequate
for  its  needs  during the remainder  of  fiscal  2000  and
thereafter.

Except  as  discussed above and in the financial statements,
the  Managing General Partner is not aware of any trends  or
events,  commitments  or  uncertainties  that  may  have   a
material impact on liquidity.

Operations

There  were no individually significant factors which caused
changes  in  the  Partnership's operating  results  for  the
three-  and  six-month  periods  ended  April  30,  2000  as
compared to 1999.

Inflation

Inflation  has  been  consistently low  during  the  periods
presented in the financial statements and, as a result,  has
not  had  a  significant  effect on the  operations  of  the
Partnership or its properties.
