         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           
1.                                                 The Partnership

Dean   Witter  Realty  Growth  Properties,  L.P.   (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in  1985
under  the laws of the State of Delaware.  The Managing
General  Partner  of  the Partnership  is  Dean  Witter
Realty Growth Properties Inc., which is wholly-owned by
Dean Witter Realty Inc. ("Realty").

The  financial statements include the accounts  of  the
Partnership, and in 1996, Braker Associates and Bayport
Ltd.'s investment in the Bayport Plaza Hyatt hotel on a
consolidated  basis.   The Partnership's  interests  in
Bayport  Ltd.'s investment in the Bayport Plaza  office
building  and,  in  1996, Peninsula/DW  Associates  are
accounted for on the equity method.

At  September  30,  1997,  the Partnership's  remaining
property  investment  consisted of  a  45.79%  indirect
interest in the Bayport Plaza office building through a
joint  venture (the "Joint Venture").  On  October  20,
1997, the office building was sold (see Note 2).

Pursuant   to  the  Partnership  Agreement,  the   sale
effectuated  the  dissolution of the  Partnership  and,
accordingly,  the  Partnership is  in  the  process  of
winding  up  its affairs.  The Partnership  is  in  the
process of determining the expenses of liquidation  and
reserves,  if any, required to wind up its affairs  and
terminate.    Once  such  expenses  and  reserves   are
determined, the Partnership will distribute its cash in
excess of the required amounts to Limited Partners.

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

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

      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           
In   the   opinion  of  management,  the   accompanying
financial  statements,  which have  not  been  audited,
include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
results for the interim period.  Except for the gain on
real estate sold in 1996, such adjustments consist only
of normal recurring accruals.

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  December  31,
1996.  Operating results of interim periods may not  be
indicative  of  the operating results  for  the  entire
year.

The  Financial Accounting Standards Board has  recently
issued  several  accounting pronouncements.   Statement
No. 128, "Earnings per Share" establishes standards for
computing  and  presenting  earnings  per  share,   and
statement  No.  129  "Disclosure of  Information  about
Capital Structure" establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure.  These
two  standards  will be effective for the Partnership's
1997 year-end financial statements.  Statement No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes  standards
for  reporting and display of comprehensive income  and
its  components.  Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments  of  an  enterprise and  Related  Information"
establishes standards for the way that public  business
enterprises report information about operating segments
in  annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating
segments   in  interim  financial  reports  issued   to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures  about  products and  services,  geographic
areas,  and  major customers.  These two standards  are
effective   for   the  Partnership's   1998   financial
statements.


                           
                           
      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Management  of  the Partnership does not  believe  that
these  new  standards  will  have  any  effect  on  the
Partnership's computation or presentation of net income
or net income per unit of limited partnership interest,
or  its  disclosures  of capital  structure,  or  other
disclosures.

2. Bayport Plaza Office Building

The  excess  of distributions and losses over  cost  of
investments  in  partnership  is  attributable  to  the
Partnership's  investment in the Bayport  Plaza  office
building.   During the nine months ended September  30,
1997,  the  office building had revenues of $4,161,131,
operating  expenses of $3,720,923  and  net  income  of
$440,208.   Under  the  terms  of  the  Joint   Venture
agreement, all of the property's income and  cash  flow
from  operations  in 1997 and 1996  were  allocated  to
another partner.

Pursuant  to  an  agreement dated as of  September  23,
1997, as amended, the Joint Venture agreed to sell  the
office  building  to Aetna Life Insurance  Company  for
$45,700,000.  The  Partnership owns a  45.79%  indirect
general partnership interest in the Joint Venture, as a
result  of  its  99%  general partnership  interest  in
Bayport,  Ltd., which owns a 46.25% general partnership
interest in the Joint Venture.

The closing of the sale took place on October 20, 1997.
The  purchase  price was received in cash  at  closing.
Approximately  $20,000,000 of the sales  proceeds  were
used  to  repay the existing mortgage loan  encumbering
the  property, including accrued interest  thereon  and
prepayment  premium.  The remaining cash proceeds,  net
of  closing  costs,  were allocated to  the  Partnerhip
(approximately  $7,104,000)  and  to  an   unaffiliated
partner  (approximately $17,172,000)  pursuant  to  the
provisions of the Joint Venture agreement.

      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

3. Related Party Transactions

Prior  to 1995, the Partnership borrowed funds from  an
affiliate  of Realty.  These borrowings were repaid  in
the  second  and  third  quarters  of  1996.   Interest
expense, calculated at the prime rate, was $224,461 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Realty  performs  administrative  functions,  processes
investor transactions and prepares tax information  for
the  Partnership.  For the nine months ended  September
30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership incurred expenses of
$57,145 and $134,070, respectively, for these services.
These    amounts   are   included   in   general    and
administrative expenses.
     
4. Litigation

Various   public  partnerships  sponsored   by   Realty
(including  the  Partnership and its  Managing  General
Partner) are defendants in a
number  of  class action lawsuits pending in state  and
federal  courts.  The complaints allege  a  variety  of
claims,  including  breach of  fiduciary  duty,  fraud,
misrepresentation   and  related   claims,   and   seek
compensatory  and  other damages and equitable  relief.
The defendants intend to vigorously defend the actions.
It is impossible to predict the effect, if any, the out
come  of  these actions might have on the Partnership's
financial statements.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership raised $78,594,000 in a public offering
which  was terminated in 1986.  The Partnership has  no
plans to raise additional capital.

The Partnership used the proceeds from the offering  to
make leveraged investments in five properties.  One  of
the  properties was lost through foreclosure  in  1992;
all of the remaining properties were sold prior to 1997
except  the  Bayport Plaza office building,  which  was
sold  on  October  20,  1997.   (See  Note  2  to   the
consolidated  financial statements).   The  Partnership
received  approximately $7,104,000,  its share  of  the
net cash proceeds from the sale.

Prior   to  the  sale  of  the  office  building,   the
Partnership  realized  no  cash  flow  from  the  Joint
Venture, as available cash flow was distributed 100% to
another  partner, in accordance with the provisions  of
the Joint Venture agreement,

The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership
shall terminate upon the sale of the Partnership's last
investment, and that dissolution shall be effective  on
the  day on which the event arises giving rise  to  the
dissolution.   Accordingly, the Partnership  dissolved,
pursuant  to  the  terms of its Partnership  Agreement,
effective October 20, 1997.  The Partnership intends to
proceed to wind up its affairs, and upon conclusion  of
liquidation,  terminate  its  existence  by  filing   a
certificate  of  cancellation  in  the  office  of  the
Delaware Secretary of State.

The  Partnership  is in the process of determining  the
expenses  of liquidation and reserves, if any, required
to  wind  up  its  affairs and  terminate.   Once  such
expenses and reserves are determined, the
                           
                           
                           
      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

Partnership will distribute its cash in excess  of  the
required  amounts to Limited Partners.  The amount  and
timing of the distribution is uncertain.

All  of  the  net proceeds received by the  Partnership
from  the sales of the Partnership's investments, other
than   the  proceeds  from  the  Bayport  Plaza  office
building,   have  been  distributed  to   the   Limiter
Partners.

Total cash distributed to the Limited Partners over the
life  of  the Partnership will be less than the capital
contributed by the Limited Partners.

Except  as  discussed  herein and in  the  consolidated
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

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for
the  three- and nine-month periods ended September  30,
1997 compared to 1996 are primarily attributable to the
following:

The  sale of the Bayport Plaza Hyatt Hotel in the third
quarter  of 1996 and of the Partnership's joint venture
interest  in  the Peninsula Office Park in  the  fourth
quarter  of  1996  resulted in the elimination  of  all
operating  revenues  and  expenses,  interest  expense,
depreciation, equity in losses of partnerships, and the
decrease in amortization in 1997.  The Partnership  was
not  entitled  to  an  allocation of  income  from  the
Bayport Plaza office building in 1997 and 1996.

General  and administrative expenses decreased in  1997
compared  to  1996  as  a result of  the  reduction  of
operating activities of the Partnership.
                           
                           
                           
                           
      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

The  Bayport Plaza office building was 100%  leased  at
September 30, 1997.  The property was sold October  20,
1997.   (See  Note  2  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements).

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.
