(1)        Accounting Policies

           Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
           in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
           accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in
           this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and Regulations
           of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of
           the General Partners of Krupp Associates 1980-1 and Subsidiary
           (the "Partnership"), the disclosures contained in this report
           are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
           See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
           Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
           December 31, 1996 for additional information relevant to
           significant accounting policies followed by the Partnership.

           In the opinion of the General Partners of the Partnership, the
           accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect
           all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
           necessary to present fairly the Partnership's consolidated
           financial position as of March 31, 1997 and its results of
           operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
           1997 and 1996.

           The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
           1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
           expected for the full year.  See Management's Discussion and
           Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
           included in this report.

</TABLE>

(3)        Related Party Transactions

           Commencing with the date of acquisition of the Partnership's
           property, the Partnership entered into an agreement under which
           property management fees are paid to an affiliate of the General
           Partners for services as management agent.  Such agreement
           provides for management fees payable monthly at a rate of 5% of
           the gross receipts from the property under management.  These
           manaagement agreements were sold to BRI OP Limited Partnership,
           a publicly traded real estate investment trust and an affiliate
           of the General Partners, on February 28, 1997.   The Partnership
           also reimburses affiliates of the General Partners for certain
           expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the
           Partnership and its property including accounting, computer,
           insurance, travel, legal and payroll costs relating to the
           preparation and mailing of reports and other communications to
           the Limited Partners.  From 1991 through 1996, the General
           Partners arranged with the management agent for the annual
           waivers of management fees and expense reimbursements. As a
           result of the sale of the management agreements, effective
           January 1, 1997, monthly payment of management fees were
           reinstituted.  The management agreement was sold to BRI OP
           Limited Partnership, a publicly traded real estate investment
           trust and an affiliate of the General Partners, on February 28,
           1997.  The General Partners will continue to negotiate for the
           waiver of expense reimbursements. Property management fees paid
           to an affiliate of the General Partners were $13,504 and $0 for
           the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

           Interest accrued on borrowings to the General Partners or their
           affiliates was $29,077 and $29,671 for the three months ended
           March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

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

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those
concerning Management's expectations regarding the future financial
performance and future events.  These forward-looking statements involve
significant risk and uncertainties, including those described herein. 
Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such
forward-looking statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is
dependent primarily upon the operating performance of Riverside Apartments
("Riverside").  Such ability is also dependent upon the future sale of the
asset.  These sources of liquidity could be used by the Partnership for
payment of expenses related to real estate operations, debt service and
expenses.  Cash Flow and Capital Transaction Proceeds, if any, as
calculated under Section 8.2(a) and 8.3(a) of the Partnership Agreement,
would then be available for distribution to the Partners.  The Partnership
has discontinued distributions due to insufficient operating cash flow.  

The Partnership has experienced cash flow deficiencies for several years
and currently has very limited liquidity.  Expenditures are being monitored
closely and capital improvements are made when necessary.  To date, the
General Partners have been able to arrange financing, through borrowings
from an affiliate of the General Partners, to cover a substantial portion
of these cash flow deficiencies.  Also, one of the General Partners, The
Krupp Company Limited Partnership ("The Krupp Company"), contributed an
additional $100,000 to the Partnership during 1991.  In January 1993, The
Krupp Company loaned an additional $135,000 to the Partnership in the form
of a demand note to payoff a demand note from an unaffiliated bank.  In
addition, the affiliate lender has been willing to defer interest payments
on the borrowings since late 1990.  Furthermore, the General Partners,
through annual negotiations from 1991 through 1996, have arranged for the
waiver of property management fees and expense reimbursements payable to
the management agent, also an affiliate of the General Partners.  Effective
January 1, 1997,  monthly payment of management fees were reinstituted as a
result of the sale of the property management contract to an affiliate of
the General Partners.  The General Partners will continue to negotiate for
the waiver of expense reimbursements.

The General Partners anticipate operating deficits to continue and cannot
guarantee that they will be able to take actions that will cover any future
deficits.  If the property is unable to generate funds sufficient to cover
these deficits, the Partnership could default on its mortgage payments and
become subject to foreclosure proceedings.  However, as of March 31, 1997,
the Partnership is current on its mortgage payments.   

The General Partners continue to actively pursue the sale of Riverside
Apartments.  In the event the property is sold, the Partnership will be
liquidated.  It is anticipated that all sale proceeds will be used to
satisfy Partnership obligations and no funds will be available to investors
for distribution.

Cash Flow (Deficit)

Shown below, as required by the Partnership Agreement, is the calculation
of Cash Flow Deficit of the Partnership for the three months ended March
31, 1997.  The General Partners provide the information below to meet
requirements of the Partnership Agreement and because they believe that it
is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance.  However,
Cash Flow (Deficit) should not be considered by the reader as a substitute
to net income (loss), as an indicator of the Partnership's operating
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Operations

In comparing the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in
1996, the decrease in Cash Flow, is attributable to a decrease in net
income, as revenue decreased and expenses increased.  Rental revenue
decreased due a decline Riverside's average commercial occupancy from being
fully occupied at 100% during the first quarter of 1996, to an average
occupancy of 85% during the first quarter of 1997.

Total expenses increased slightly for the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996, with increases
in management fees and maintenance expense partially offset by decreases in
operating and general and administrative expenses.  Effective January 1,
1997, monthly payment of management fees were reinstituted as a result of
the sale of the property management contract to an affiliate of the General
Partners.  Maintenance expense increased due to contracted cleaning
services which were previously provided by salaried employees.  Thus, the
increase in maintenance expense is directly offset by a decrease in
operating expense.  General and administrative expense decreased due to
lower audit expenditures.
