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

Inland Real Estate Growth Fund II, L.P. (the "Partnership"), was formed in June
1987, pursuant to  the  Delaware  Revised  Uniform  Limited Partnership Act, to
invest in improved residential,  retail,  industrial and other income producing
properties.  On September 21,  1987,  the  Partnership commenced an Offering of
25,000 Limited  Partnership  Units  (the  "Units")  pursuant  to a Registration
Statement on Form S-11  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933.  The Partnership
terminated the Offering on September 21, 1989.   A total of 4,038.25 Units were
sold to the public  at  $1,000  per  Unit,  yielding gross offering proceeds of
$4,038,250, not including the General  Partner's  contribution of $500.  All of
the holders of these Units were  admitted  to the Partnership.  As of September
30, 1996, the Partnership has  repurchased  a  total of 34 Units ($33,993) from
various Limited Partners.    At  March  31,  1997,  included  in  cash and cash
equivalents, is approximately $13,400 restricted for use by the Unit Repurchase
Program.  The Limited Partners  of  the  Partnership  share in their portion of
benefits of ownership of  the  Partnership's real property investment according
to the number of Units held.   Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is the
General Partner.

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.

Deferred loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
loan.  Deferred leasing fees  are  amortized  on a straight-line basis over the
term of the related lease.

Installment contracts  receivable  origination  fees  received  are deferred as

                    INLAND REAL ESTATE GROWTH FUND II, L.P.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (continued)

                                March 31, 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.   

The Partnership uses the  straight-line  method  of  depreciation with a useful
life of thirty years for  buildings  and  improvements.  Maintenance and repair
expenses are charged to operations  as  incurred.  Significant improvements are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Rental income is recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the term of the
lease.  The excess of rental  income  earned  over  the cash rent due under the
provisions of the lease agreement is recorded as accrued rent receivable.

The Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

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.  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, of which $6,564 and $1,159
remained unpaid at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

In connection with the sales at  Wellington Place, the Partnership has recorded
$135,000 of sales commissions  payable  to  Affiliates  of the General Partner.
Such commissions will  be  deferred  until  the  Limited Partners have received
their Original Capital plus a return as specified in the Partnership Agreement.

An Affiliate of the General Partner  is entitled to receive Property Management
Fees for management and leasing services.  Management fees of $556 and $505 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997  and 1996, have been incurred and paid to
an Affiliate and are included  in the Partnership's property operating expenses
to Affiliates.

(3) Installment Contracts Receivable

During 1991, the Partnership sold all  of the eighteen buildings comprising the
Wellington  Place  apartment  complex  to  unaffiliated  third  parties.    The
Partnership  had  recorded  wrap  around  installment  contracts  receivable of
$3,988,999 as a result of these  sales,  with interest rates ranging from 10.5%
to 10.9% due  over  seven  to  ten  years.    The  gain  of  $616,858 was to be
recognized as cash  was  received  over  the  life  of  the related installment
contracts.

The Partnership  has  received  complete  prepayments  on  all  of the eighteen
installment  contracts  receivable  amounting  to  $3,609,589,  which  included
prepayment penalties of  $10,830,  less  credit  to  the  borrowers for prepaid
interest.   In  conjunction  with  five  of  the  prepayments,  the Partnership
provided a single borrower with five second mortgages, in the amount of $16,000
each, which require interest-only payments at the  rate of 10% per annum with a
final balloon  payment  due  June  30,  1998,  collateralized  by  five  of the
buildings previously sold.

                                  (continued)

                                March 31, 1997
                                  (unaudited)



(4) Accrued Rents Receivable

The health club lease contains provisions providing for stepped rent increases.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that rental income be recorded
for the period of  occupancy  using  the  effective  monthly rent, which is the
average monthly rent for the entire period  of occupancy during the term of the
lease.  The accompanying financial  statements  include $1,141 in 1996 and 1997
of rental income for the period  of  occupancy for which stepped rent increases
apply and $80,515 and $79,374  in  related  accounts receivable as of March 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996,  respectively.    Those  amounts are expected to be
collected over the terms of the  related  leases as scheduled rent payments are
made.

(5) Mortgage Payable

The General Partner  obtained  an  extension  until  February  1, 1999 from the
current first  mortgage  holder  on  the  mortgage  loan  collateralized by the
Scandinavian Health Club property.  Monthly principal and interest payments are
based on an interest  rate  of  8.25%  adjusted  annually,  based on a ten year
amortization period.

(6) Subsequent Events

During April 1997, the Partnership paid  a distribution of $9,270, of which $73
was distributed to  the  General  Partner  and  $9,197  was  distributed to the
Limited  Partners.    The  Limited  Partners  distribution  included  $2,000 of
repayment proceeds and $7,197 of operating cash flow.

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 September 21, 1987, the Partnership  commenced an Offering of 25,000 Limited
Partnership Units pursuant to a  Registration  Statement on Form S-11 under the
Securities Act of 1933.  The  Offering  terminated on September 21, 1989 with a
total of 4,038.25 Units being sold  to  the public at $1,000 per Unit resulting
in $4,038,250 in gross offering  proceeds,  not including the General Partner's
contribution, of which $3,077,513 was invested in two properties.  In addition,
proceeds were used to repay advances from the General Partner, pay offering and
organization costs and make distributions to the Limited Partners.  As of March
31, 1997, the  Partnership  has  repurchased  34  Units  ($33,993) from various
Limited Partners through the Unit Repurchase Program.

At March 31, 1997, the Partnership  had  cash and cash equivalents of $110,258,
which includes approximately  $13,400  restricted  for  the repurchase of Units
through the Unit Repurchase Program.   The Partnership intends to use available
cash for working capital requirements and cash distributions.

The Partnership is generating sufficient  cash flow to cover operating expenses
and debt service.  To the  extent  that  these sources are insufficient to meet
the Partnership's needs, the Partnership  may  rely on advances from Affiliates
of the General Partner, other  short-term  financing  or may sell the remaining
property.

The General Partner has agreed  to  make,  if necessary, a Supplemental Capital
Contribution.  The  Supplemental  Capital  Contribution  shall  be in an amount
which will enable the  Partnership  to  pay  a  liquidating distribution to the
Limited Partners equal to their  Adjusted Invested Capital plus a noncompounded
Minimum Return of 2% per annum  on their Invested Capital.  After consideration
of the Supplemental Capital Contribution,  the Partnership believes that it has
sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 1991, the Partnership had sold all of the eighteen buildings
comprising the Wellington  Place  Apartment  complex.    The remaining property
owned by the  Partnership,  a  health  club,  is  leased  until October 2001 to
Scandinavian Health Spa Inc., a  wholly  owned subsidiary of Bally's Health and
Tennis Corporation on a  "triple-net"  basis,  which  means that in addition to
paying base rent, the tenant is  also responsible for the payment of insurance,
real estate taxes and maintenance.   The General Partner does not anticipate an
early termination of this lease.

The net loss for the three months ended  March  31, 1997 and 1996 is due to the
payment of the entire audit bill in the first quarter of the year.

The increase in general and administrative expenses to Affiliates for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, as  compared  to  the three months ended March 31,
1996, is due to an increase in data processing.

The decrease in mortgage interest expense  for the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996,  is due to a
decrease in the  adjustable  rate  mortgage  on  the  health club property from
9.625% to 8.25% in May 1996.
