ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.


This Current Report on Form 8-K of Bay Apartment Communities, Inc. (the
"Company") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-looking statements contained
herein are statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to, the demand for apartment homes, the effects of economic conditions,
the impact of competition and competitive pricing, changes in construction
costs, the results of financing efforts, potential acquisitions under agreement,
the effects of the Company's accounting policies and other risks detailed in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission").

AMENDMENT OF CREDIT FACILITY

On November 21, 1997, the Company amended its $200 million unsecured
acquisition and construction line of credit (the "Unsecured Credit Facility")
from Union Bank of Switzerland and other participating banks, which was
originally received in May 1996, amended in August 1996, and subsequently
amended and restated on July 2, 1997. Under the terms of the Second Amended and
Restated Revolving Loan Agreement, the maximum revolving credit amount was
increased to $350 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility bears interest at the
London Interbank Offered Rate (based on a maturity selected by the Company) plus
0.90% per annum and matures in May 2000.

PROPERTY ACQUISITION

GOVERNOR'S SQUARE. On December 11, 1997, the Company acquired a 302
apartment home community located in Sacramento, California from GSW Associates,
Ltd. & GSE Associates, Ltd. The purchase price for this community was
approximately $24.8 million, which included $14.4 million of assumed
indebtedness. The amount of the purchase price payable to the seller at closing,
approximately $10.3 million, was funded by drawing on the Company's Unsecured
Credit Facility. Neither the Company, any subsidiary of the Company nor any
director or officer of the Company was affiliated with or had a material
relationship with the seller of this community. This community was previously
described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated October 31, 1997,
under the section "Proposed Acquisitions," and the financial statements required
under Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X were filed therewith.

Following this acquisition, the Company's portfolio consists of 49
communities containing 13,124 apartment homes (including apartment homes
delivered at Toscana, a partially developed community) and six land sites on
which it is building, or plans to commence building in the future, six
communities, which will contain an aggregate of approximately 1,698 apartment
homes (including the remaining apartment homes under construction at Toscana).

PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS


The following are proposed acquisition communities. The Company anticipates
that these proposed acquisitions will be funded by drawing on the Company's
Unsecured Credit Facility and working capital. Because the purchase of each of
the proposed acquisition communities is still pending, there can be no assurance
that the Company will consummate the acquisition of any or all of the proposed
acquisition communities or, if acquired, that they will be purchased on the
terms currently contemplated. Neither the Company, any subsidiary of the Company
nor any director or officer of the Company is affiliated with or has a material
relationship with the seller of the proposed acquisition communities described
below.

Park Acquisition Communities will be acquired from The Travelers Insurance
Company. The aggregate purchase price of $102.7 million for the Mission Bay,
Westwood Club and Pacifica Club Acquisition Communities, each of which the
Company intends to acquire in December 1997, will be subject to an increase in
the amount of $2.3 million in the event the Company does not consummate the

The pro forma financial statements of Bay Apartment Communities, Inc. (the
