Readers of this  Quarterly  Report  should  refer  to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1996, which are
included  in  the  Partnership's  1996   Annual  Report,  as  certain  footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
financial statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1)  Organization and Basis of Accounting

The Registrant, Inland Land Appreciation  Fund II, L.P. (the "Partnership"), is
a limited partnership formed on June 28, 1989, pursuant to the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act, to  invest  in undeveloped land on an all-cash
basis and realize appreciation of such  land  upon resale. On October 25, 1989,
the Partnership commenced an Offering of 30,000 (subject to increase to 60,000)
Limited Partnership Units pursuant to  a  Registration under the Securities Act
of 1933.  The  Amended  and  Restated  Agreement  of  Limited  Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement") provides for Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation
to be the General Partner. On  October 24, 1991, the Partnership terminated its
Offering of Units, with total  sales  of  50,476.17  Units, at $1,000 per Unit,
resulting in $50,476,170 in gross  offering proceeds, not including the General
Partner's capital contribution of $500. All  of the holders of these Units have
been admitted to the  Partnership.  As  of  June  30, 1997, the Partnership has
repurchased a total of 301.65 Units  for $297,939 from various Limited Partners
through the Unit Repurchase Program.  Under this program, Limited Partners may,
under certain circumstances, have their  Units  repurchased for an amount equal
to their Invested Capital.

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 periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners' capital accounts.

The Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a
maturity of three months or  less  to  be  cash  equivalents and are carried at
cost, which approximates market.

Investments purchased with a maturity of three months or more are considered to
be  investments  in  marketable  securities  and  are  carried  at  cost, which
approximates market.

                                  (continued)

                                 June 30, 1997
                                  (unaudited)


The Partnership adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first quarter of 1996.  SFAS
121 requires that the Partnership record  an impairment loss on its property to
be held for investment whenever  its  carrying  value cannot be fully recovered
through estimated undiscounted  future  cash  flows  from  their operations and
sale.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  to  be  recognized  would be the
difference between the property's  carrying  value and the property's estimated
fair value.    The  adoption  of  SFAS  121  did  not  have  any  effect on the
Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.   

For  vacant  land  parcels   and   parcels  with  insignificant  buildings  and
improvements,  the  Partnership  uses  the  area  method  of  allocation, which
approximates the relative sales method of  allocation, whereby a per acre price
is used as the standard allocation  method  for  land purchases and sales.  The
total cost of the parcel is divided by the total number of acres to arrive at a
per acre  price.    For  parcels  with  significant  buildings and improvements
(Parcel 24, described in  Note  3),  the  Partnership records the buildings and
improvements  at  a  cost  based  upon  the  appraised  value  at  the  date of
acquisition.  Building and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line
method of  depreciation  over  a  useful  life  of  thirty  years.   Repair and
maintenance expenses  are  charged  to  operations  as  incurred.   Significant
improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

The Partnership is required to  pay  a  withholding tax to the Internal Revenue
Service with  respect  to  a  Partner's  allocable  share  of the Partnership's
taxable net income, if the  Partner  is  a foreign person. The Partnership will
first pay the withholding tax  from  the  distributions to any foreign partner,
and to the extent that the tax exceeds the amount of distributions withheld, or
if there have been no distributions  to  withhold, the excess will be accounted
for as a distribution to the foreign partner. Withholding tax payments are made
every April, June, September and December.

No provision for Federal income taxes  has  been made as the liability for such
taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership.

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  contain  all the
adjustments necessary, which  are  of  a  normal  recurring  nature, to present
fairly  the  financial  position  and  results  of  operations  for  the period
presented herein.  Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the year.

(2)  Transactions with Affiliates

The General  Partner  and  its  Affiliates  are  entitled  to reimbursement for
salaries and expenses of employees  of  the  General Partner and its Affiliates
relating to the administration of the  Partnership.  Such costs are included in
professional services and general and administrative expenses to Affiliates, of
which $358 and $4,307 were unpaid  as  of  June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.

The General Partner is entitled to  receive Asset Management Fees equal to one-
quarter of 1% of  the  original  cost  to  the  Partnership of undeveloped land
annually, limited to a cumulative total over  the life of the Partnership of 2%
of the land's original  cost  to  the  Partnership.    Such fees of $45,754 and
$46,380 have been incurred for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and are included  in  land  operating  expenses to Affiliates, of
which $22,853 was unpaid as of June 30, 1997.

An Affiliate of the General  Partner  performed sales marketing and advertising
services for the Partnership and  was  reimbursed  (as set forth under terms of
the Partnership Agreement) for direct costs.  Such costs of $67,336 and $26,377
have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to Affiliates for the
six months ended June 30, 1997  and  1996, respectively, all of which have been
paid.

An Affiliate of  the  General  Partner  performed  property upgrades, rezoning,
annexation and other activities  to  prepare the Partnership's land investments
for sale and  was  reimbursed  (as  set  forth  under  terms of the Partnership
Agreement)  for salaries and direct  costs.   The Affiliate did not recognize a
profit on any project.  Such  costs  of  $11,750 have been incurred for the six
months ended June 30, 1997  and  are  included in investment properties, all of
which have been paid.

(4) Farm Rental Income

The Partnership has determined that all leases relating to the farm parcels are
operating leases.  Accordingly, rental income is reported when earned.

As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership  had  farm leases of generally one year in
duration, for approximately 3,045 acres of the approximately 3,571 acres owned.


(5) Subsequent Events

On July 7, 1997,  the  Partnership  paid  a  distribution  of $4,000,000 to the
Limited Partners.  This  distribution  was  from  net sales proceeds previously
held on sales from Parcels 23 and 25.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
         Results of Operations

Certain statements in this  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and  elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q constitute of "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.   These forward-
looking statements involve  known  and  unknown  risks, uncertainties and other
factors which  may  cause  the  Partnership's  actual  results,  performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied  by  these forward-looking statements.  These
factors include,  among  other  things,  federal,  state  or local regulations;
adverse changes in general economic  or local conditions; inability of borrower
to meet financial  obligations;  uninsured  losses;  and potential conflicts of
interest between the  Partnership  and  its  Affiliates,  including the General
Partner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On October 25, 1989, the  Partnership  commenced an Offering of 30,000 (subject
to increase to 60,000)  Limited  Partnership  Units  pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-11 under the  Securities  Act of 1933. On October 24, 1991,
the Partnership terminated its Offering of Units, with total sales of 50,476.17
Units, at $1,000 per Unit, resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds,
not including the General Partner's  capital  contribution  of $500. All of the
holders of these  Units  have  been  admitted  to  the Partnership. The Limited
Partners of  the  Partnership  will  share  in  their  portion  of  benefits of
ownership of  the  Partnership's  real  property  investments  according to the
number of Units held.

The Partnership used $41,314,301 of gross  offering proceeds to purchase, on an
all-cash basis, twenty-seven  parcels  of  undeveloped  land and two buildings.
These investments include the payment  of  the purchase price, acquisition fees
and acquisition costs of such properties.   Three of the parcels were purchased
during 1990, sixteen during 1991, four during 1992 and four during 1993.  As of
June 30, 1997,  the  Partnership  has  had  multiple sales transactions through
which it has disposed  of  approximately  909  acres of the approximately 4,480
acres originally owned.   As  of  June  30, 1997, cumulative distributions have
totaled $2,837,083 to the Limited Partners  and $93,034 to the General Partner.
Of the $2,837,083 distributed to the Limited Partners, $2,116,083 was net sales
proceeds (which represents a  return  of  Invested  Capital,  as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) and $721,000 was from  operations.  As of June 30, 1997,
the Partnership has used $7,257,621 of working capital reserve for rezoning and
other activities.  Such  amounts  have  been  capitalized  and  are included in
investment properties.

The Partnership's capital needs and resources will vary depending upon a number
of factors, including the extent to which the Partnership conducts rezoning and
other  activities  relating  to  utility  access,  the  installation  of roads,
subdivision and/or annexation of land to a municipality, changes in real estate
taxes affecting the Partnership's land, and the amount of revenue received from
leasing.  As of June  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  owns,  in whole or in part,
twenty-four of its twenty-seven original  parcels  and one office building, the
majority of which are  leased  to  local  tenants and are generating sufficient
cash flow from leases to cover property taxes and insurance.


                                     -13-



At June 30, 1997, the Partnership had cash, cash equivalents and investments in
marketable  securities  of  $5,892,334,  of  which  approximately  $293,400  is
reserved for the repurchase of Units  through the Unit Repurchase Program.  The
remaining $5,598,934 is available to  be  used for the Partnership expenses and
liabilities, cash distributions to  partners  and other activities with respect
to some or all of its land  parcels.   The Partnership has increased its parcel
sales effort in anticipation of rising land values.

On July 7, 1997,  the  Partnership  paid  a  distribution  of $4,000,000 to the
Limited Partners resulting  in  cumulative  distributions  of $6,837,083.  This
distribution was from net sales proceeds  previously held on sales from Parcels
23 and 25.

The Partnership plans to enhance the  value of its land through pre-development
activities such as rezoning, annexation  and land planning. The Partnership has
already been successful in, or  is  in the process of, pre-development activity
on a majority of the Partnership's  land  investments. Parcel 1, annexed to the
Village of Huntley and  zoned  for  residential and commercial development, has
improvements in  planning  stage  and  sites  are  being  marketed to potential
buyers. Parcel 7, the Olde  Mill  Ponds  on Boone Creek subdivision, has sixty-
five of the total 130 single-family  lots under contract with a homebuilder, of
which twenty  have  already  closed  (see  Note  3  of  the  Notes to Financial
Statements for further discussion of  Parcel  7).   Parcel 18, zoned for multi-
and single-family use, is being  marketed  to potential homebuilders. Parcel 15
has been zoned with development  and  sales  marketing underway. Parcel 23, the
Ponds at Mill Race Creek  Subdivision,  has  234 of the total 243 single-family
lots under contract with homebuilders,  of  which  119 have already closed (see
Note 3 of the Notes  to  Financial  Statements for further discussion on Parcel
23).

Results of Operations

Income from the sale of investment properties and cost of investment properties
sold recorded for the six months ended June  30, 1997 is the result of the sale
of twenty lots in the Olde Mill Ponds on Boone Creek subdivision (Parcel 7) and
the sale of additional lots at the Ponds of Mill Race Creek subdivision (Parcel
23).  Income from  the  sale  of  investment  properties and cost of investment
properties sold recorded for the six  months  ended June 30, 1996 is the result
of lot sales at the Ponds  at  Mill  Race Creek subdivision (Parcel 23) and the
sale of approximately 5 1/2 acres of Parcel 22.

As of  June  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  owned  twenty-four  parcels  of land
consisting of  approximately  3,571  acres  and  one  office  building.  Of the
approximately 3,571 acres  owned,  3,045  acres  are  tillable, leased to local
farmers and generate sufficient  cash  flow  to cover property taxes, insurance
and other miscellaneous expenses.   The  increase  in rental income for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared  to the six months ended June 30, 1996,
is due to annual  increases  in  lease  amounts  from  tenants.  Land operating
expenses to non-affiliates decreased for  the  three  and six months ended June
30, 1997, as compared to the three  and  six months ended June 30, 1996, due to
decreases in assessments fees, real estate  taxes and insurance.  This decrease
was partially offset  by  an  increase  in  repair  and maintenance expenses on
incidental rental buildings located on the Partnership's investment properties.




                                     -14-



Interest income decreased for the three and  six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to  the  three  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  due  to the
Partnership using its working capital  reserve to fund pre-development activity
on the Partnership's investment properties.  This decrease was partially offset
by an increase in interest rates.

Professional services to  Affiliates  increased  for  the  three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared  to  the  three  and six months ended June 30,
1996, due to  an  increase  in  legal  and  accounting  services related to the
increase in sales activity  within  the  Partnership.  Professional services to
non-affiliates increased for the three and  six  months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to the three and six months  ended  June 30, 1996, due primarily to an
increase in outside legal services.

General and administrative expenses to  Affiliates  decreased for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997, as  compared  to the three and six months ended
June 30,  1996,  due  primarily  to  a  decrease  in  data processing expenses.
General and administrative  expenses  to  non-affiliates  decreased for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared  to the six months ended June 30, 1996,
due primarily to  an  decrease  in  the  Illinois  Replacement  Tax paid by the
Partnership in 1997.    This  decrease  was  partially  offset  by increases in
postage and printing expenses.

Marketing expenses to Affiliates increased  for  the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, due
to  an  increase  in  expenses   relating  to  marketing  and  advertising  the
Partnership's land investments for sale.   Marketing expenses to non-affiliates
increased for the three and six months  ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, due to an increase in advertising and
travel  expenses  relating  to  marketing  the  land  portfolio  to prospective
purchasers.
