(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 June 30, 1997, its
results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and its
cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996.  Certain prior year balances
have been reclassified to conform with current
year consolidated financial statement
presentation.

The results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 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.

(2) Summary of Changes in Partners' Deficit

A summary of changes in Partners' deficit for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 is as

(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.  This management agreement
was sold to BRI OP Limited Partnership, a
subsidiary of Berkshire Realty Company Inc., 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 computer, insurance,
travel, legal and payroll costs, and with the
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 agreement,
monthly payments of management fees were
reinstituted in 1997.  Property management
fees paid to an affiliate of the General
Partners were $13,262 and $26,767 for the
three and six months ended  June 30, 1997,
respectively, and $0 for both the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996.

Interest accrued on borrowings from the
General Partners or their affiliates was
$30,247 and $59,324 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997,respectively, and
$29,400 and $59,071 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 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.  Monthly payments of management fees
were reinstituted in 1997 as a result of the
sale of the property management contract to an
affiliate of the General Partners.

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 June
30, 1997, the Partnership is current on its
mortgage payments.   

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of
1997, on July 10, 1997, the General Partners
entered into a purchase and sale agreement for
the sale of Riverside to an unaffiliated
buyer, for the selling price of $3,750,000. 
It is is expected that the sale will be
consummated during the third quarter of 1997. 
It is anticipated that all sale proceeds will
be used to satisfy Partnership obligations and
no funds will be available to investors for
distribution.  In the event the property is
sold, the Partnership will be liquidated.

Cash Flow (Deficit)

Shown below, as required by the Partnership
Agreement, is the calculation of Cash Flow
(Deficit) of the Partnership for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.  The General
Partners provide the information below to meet
requirements of the Partnership Agreement. 
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 three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, the decrease in cash
flow is attributable to an increase in net
loss, as revenue decreased and expenses
increased.
  
Rental revenue decreased for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
due to a decline in the average occupancy of
Riverside's commercial space from being fully
occupied at 100% during both the first and
second quarters of 1996, to an average
occupancy of 85% and 88% during the first and
second quarters of 1997, respectively.

Total expenses increased for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
same period in 1996, with increases in
maintenance expense, management fees and
general and administrative expenses. 
Maintenance expense increased due to an
increase in cleaning services.  Monthly
payments of management fees were reinstituted
in 1997 as a result of the sale of the
property management contract to an affiliate
of the General Partners.
