Item 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Development

Windsor Park Properties 6, a California Limited Partnership (the Partnership),
was formed in June 1988 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 1997, Chateau Communities, Inc. (Chateau), a publicly
held real estate investment trust, purchased all of the outstanding capital
stock of The Windsor Corporation for 101,239 common shares of Chateau, and
$750,000 in cash. Following the purchase of The Windsor Corporation Chateau
appointed a new Board of Directors and elected Steven G. Waite as the President
of The Windsor Corporation. The Partnership term is set to expire in December
1999; however, the Partnership may either be dissolved or liquidated earlier or
extended under certain circumstances. The Partnership may be extended at the
recommendation of the General Partners with approval of a majority of Limited
Partners.

The Partnership was organized to acquire and hold existing manufactured home
communities for investment. Its principal investment objectives are to provide
to its Limited Partners: (i) distributions of cash from operations, (ii)
preservation, protection and eventual return of the Limited Partners'
investment, and (iii) realization of appreciation in the value of the properties
acquired.

The Partnership was funded through a public offering of 300,000 limited
partnership units (Units). A total of 299,325 Units were sold with gross
proceeds aggregating $29,932,500. The offering commenced in September 1988 and
terminated in March 1990. The net proceeds from the offering were originally
expended for the acquisition of undivided interests in nine fully-developed
manufactured home communities located in Arizona, Nevada, Montana, Indiana,
Florida, and Kansas. The Partnership paid all cash for these properties.

The Partnership owns interests in the following manufactured home communities at
December 31, 1997:

</TABLE>

The above described ownership interests, where the partnership owns less than
100% of a property, consist of ownership interests in joint ventures or limited
partnerships that own one or more manufactured home communities.

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

The overall occupancy of the Partnership's seven communities was approximately
95% at December 31, 1997. 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, holding for
investment, 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 owns interests in seven properties. The Partnership operates the
properties as manufactured home communities, renting space to manufactured home
tenants on a month-to-month basis. The properties compete for rentals with other
manufactured home communities and apartments in their local markets. All of the
properties are encumbered. It is the General Partners' opinion that the
properties are in good condition and are adequately insured.

Item 5.  MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

A public market for the Partnership's units does not exist and is not likely to
develop. As of December 31, 1997, there were approximately 3,700 persons holding
an aggregate of 293,287 Units.

Cash distributions paid to limited partners since December 31, 1995 are as
follows:

</TABLE>

(1)      Amounts exclude General Partner participation.

(2)      Computed based on $29,932,500 original investment.

Cash distributions paid to the General Partners since December 31, 1995 were
$12,100. The General Partners expect that the Partnership will make cash
distributions on a semi-annual basis in the future.


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. Certain
statements in this discussion constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
the partnership or industry to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's primary sources of cash during the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 were from the operations of its investment properties, cash
distributions from joint ventures and proceeds from a mortgage note payable. The
primary uses of cash during the same period were for investments in joint
ventures, debt service and cash distributions to partners.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

At December 31, 1997, the Partnership's total mortgage debt, including its
proportionate share of joint venture debt, was $7,699,400, consisting entirely
of variable rate debt. The average rate of interest on the variable rate debt
was 9.1% at December 31, 1997.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, net profits from the sale of Partnership
properties should be allocated first to each partner with a negative capital
account balance in an amount equal to the amount of the negative capital account
of each partner. Subsequent to the issuance of the 1995 financial statements,
the general partners determined that the financial statements did not properly
reflect the income allocation provisions of the Partnership Agreement.
Accordingly, partners' equity at December 31, 1994, has been restated from the
amounts previously reported to properly allocate net profits from the sale of
Partnership properties among the partners in accordance with the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement.

The future sources of cash for the Partnership will be provided from property
operations, cash reserves, and ultimately from the sale of property. The future
uses of cash will be for Partnership administration, capital expenditures, cash
distributions to partners and debt service. The General Partners believe that
the future sources of cash are sufficient to meet the working capital
requirements of the Partnership for the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

Net income for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $138,400 and
$187,600, respectively. Net income per limited partnership unit was $0.47 in
1997 and $0.63 in 1996.

Rent and utilities revenues increased from $571,200 in 1996 to $630,800 in 1997.
The overall occupancy of the Partnership's two wholly owned properties increased
from 95% at December 31, 1996 to 100% at December 31, 1997. In addition, rent
increases of $10 and $8 per month were implemented at Circle K in May 1997 and
at Chisholm Creek in June 1997, respectively.

Equity in earnings of joint ventures represents the Partnership's share of the
net income of the Carefree Village, Town and Country Estates, Garden Walk,
Rancho Margate and Winter Haven manufactured home communities. Equity in
earnings of joint ventures decreased from $250,700 in 1996, to $208,500 in 1997.
The decrease is attributable to the losses incurred at Carefree Village. The
overall occupancy of the Partnership's five joint venture properties was 93% at
December 31, 1997 comparable to 93% at December 31, 1996. Recent rent increases
include $9 and $10 at Winterhaven in 1997 and 1996 respectively, and $12 and $13
at Rancho Margate respectively.

Property operating costs increased from $276,600 in 1996 to $329,200 in 1997 due
to increased costs at Chisholm Creek.

Interest expense remained relatively flat at December 1997 from the same period
in 1996.

General and administrative expenses decreased from $120,600 in 1996 to $107,100
in 1997.

New Accounting Standards

In 1997, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This
accounting standard specifies new computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share to be applied retroactively. Among other
things, SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share on the face of the income statement. The adoption of SFAS 128 had no
effect on the per unit results reported.

<PAGE>   8

Year 2000 Compliance

The Partnership is currently engaged in a review with its software vendors to
ensure all systems are modified for year 2000 compliance. Since all systems are
owned and maintained by third party vendors, the Partnership believes that the
additional cost for compliance will not be material to future results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Partnership.

                            WINDSOR PARK PROPERTIES 6
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

The Partnership

Windsor Park Properties 6, A California Limited Partnership (the Partnership),
was formed in June 1988 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 300,000 limited
partnership units at $100 per unit which commenced in September 1988 and
terminated in March 1990. The Partnership term is set to expire in December
1999; however, the Partnership may either be dissolved earlier or extended under
certain circumstances. The Partnership may be extended at the recommendation of
the General Partners with approval of a majority of the Limited Partners.

The following is a summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies:

Property Held for Investment

Property held for investment is 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. When assets are 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 are charged to
operations as incurred.

In 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets
to be Disposed of." SFAS 121 requires that longlived assets be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying value may not be recoverable. The adoption of SFAS 121 had no effect on
reported results in 1996.

For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, permanent impairment conditions
did not exist at the Partnership's property.

Investments in Joint Ventures and Limited Partnerships

The investments in joint ventures are accounted for utilizing the equity method
as the properties are subject to joint control requiring approval or mutual
agreement of the investees. The investment in Limited Partnerships is also
accounted for utilizing the equity method as the Limited Partners have
significant rights.


                                       16
<PAGE>   17



Financing Costs

Financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the note
utilizing a method which approximates the effective interest method.

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 Dilutive Earnings per Limited Partnership Unit

Basic and dilutive earnings per limited partnership unit is 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 dilutive 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, 1997 and 1996 was 294,382 and 296,583, respectively.

In 1997, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share." This accounting standard specifies new
computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share to
be applied retroactively. Among other things, SFAS 128 requires presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement. The
adoption of SFAS 128 had no effect on the per unit results previously reported.

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, 1997 and 1996 was 293,287
and 295,791, respectively, which represented capital contributions of
$29,328,700 and $29,579,100, respectively. During the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, the Partnership repurchased 2,474 units and 1,328 units,
respectively, for $48,400 and $20,400, respectively. The General Partners owned
10 units at both December 31, 1997 and 1996.

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 $77,500 and $90,300 for such costs during the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These costs are included in
property operating and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
statements of operations. As of December 31, 1997, the partnership owed TWC
$9,000.

Liquidation Stage

The General Partners receive 1% of profits, losses and 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 be first
allocated 100% to the General Partners to the extent of their negative capital
account.

During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the General Partners received
cash distributions of $6,000 and $6,100, respectively.

NOTE 7.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of the financial instruments. The mortgage note payable bears interest
at a variable rate indexed to LIBOR; therefore, the General Partners believe the
carrying value of the note approximates fair value.

NOTE 9.  CONTINGENCIES

The Partnership, as an owner of real estate, is subject to various
environmental laws. Compliance by the Partnership with existing laws has not
had a material effect on the results of operations, financial condition or
cash flows of the Partnership, nor does management believe it will have a
material impact in the future.

NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Chateau and/or its predecessor have been providing property management services
to the Partnership since 1992. For this service, Chateau is paid a property
management fee, which is based on a percentage of actual gross receipts of the
properties. The total management fees paid to Chateau were $32,300 and $29,200
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition
certain direct expenses are paid by Chateau on behalf of the Partnership and
then reimbursed by the Partnership. These amounts were $88,600 and $79,300 for
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Item 9.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS, AND CONTROL PERSONS;
         COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

The general partners of the Partnership are The Windsor Corporation, and John A.
Coseo, Jr.

compensation from the Partnership in these capacities and are only required to
spend such time on the Partnership's affairs as is deemed necessary. Substantial
amounts of these officers' time is spent on matters unrelated to the
Partnership.
