This statement relates to the Depositary Receipts of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership (the “Partnership”). The address of the Partnership’s principal executive office is 39 Brighton Avenue, Allston, Massachusetts 02134.

This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of the Harold Brown 1999 Revocable Trust (the “1999 Trust”), a grantor trust established by Harold Brown, a controlling stockholder and member of the board of directors as well as Treasurer of NewReal, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership.  The 1999 Trust’s business address is c/o New England Realty Associates LP, 39 Brighton Avenue, Allston, MA 02134.  The beneficiaries of the 1999 Trust are certain family and charitable trusts of Mr. Brown. During his lifetime, Mr. Brown is entitled to receive the income from the 1999 Trust and has the right to reacquire the Depositary Receipts at any time. Accordingly, Mr. Brown may be deemed to beneficially own the Depositary Receipts held by the 1999 Trust. Mr. Brown and Sally E. Michael, as trustees of the 1999 Trust (the "Trustees"), share voting and investment power over the Depositary Receipts held by the 1999 Trust, subject to the provisions of the 1999 Trust, and thus may each be deemed to beneficially own the Depositary Receipts held by the 1999 Trust. Ms. Michael has no pecuniary interest in the Depositary Receipts held by the 1999 Trust and disclaims beneficial ownership of such Depositary Receipts pursuant to Rule 13d-4.

During the past five years, neither Mr. Brown nor Ms. Michael has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors).  During the past five years, neither Mr. Brown nor Ms. Michael has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding, was or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.  Mr. Brown and Ms. Michael are United States citizens.

On October 15, 2009, the 1999 Trust effected an equity exchange with the NERA 1994 Irrevocable Trust (the “1994 Trust”), a separate grantor trust established by Mr. Brown, pursuant to which the 1994 Trust transferred 220,000 Depositary Receipts to the 1999 Trust in exchange ownership interests of the 1999 Trust in 13 properties consisting of an aggregate of 260,888 square feet of retail, office and residential space with a fair market value of approximately $11,581,744.

The 1999 Trust was established by Mr. Brown as a family and estate planning entity for the benefit of himself and certain family and charitable trusts.  The acquisition of Depositary Receipts by the 1999 Trust has been in accordance with the terms and conditions of the provisions of the 1999 Trust and in furtherance of the family and estate planning objective for which it was formed.

(a)  The aggregate number and percentage of class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by the 1999 Trust may be found in rows 11 and 13 of the Cover Page, which hereby is incorporated by reference.
