(1-888-882-0115 - HME Call in #)

(David)
Good morning. Thank you for participating in our first quarter earnings
conference call. We are broadcasting this call live over the Internet. You can
view supporting, synchronized slides via our Web site at www.homeproperties.com.
The complete webcast will be available for playback through our web site within
about 90 minutes following its conclusion.
This is our first conference call on a Friday. In conversations with Jon Litt,
he indicated how crowded the calendar was for conference calls on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Thursdays. He suggested that with a Monday or Friday
presentation, we would be up against much less competition, which would make it
easier for our audience to join us. So, this will be our plan going forward.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jon.

SLIDE 2: : This slide contains the following caption: "Conference Call
Participants" followed by photographs of Norman Leenhouts, Chairman and Co-CEO,
Ed Pettinella, Executive Vice President and Director and David Gardner, Sr. Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer. Below the photographs is written "Home
Properties Central Office (716) 546-4900.

(David continued)

Here with me this morning are Norman Leenhouts, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive
Officer, and Ed Pettinella, Executive Vice President.


SLIDE 3: This slide contains the following: "Forward Looking Statements:
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Although the Company
believes expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be
achieved . . ."

(David continued)

Before we begin, I would like to remind you that some of our discussion this
morning will involve forward-looking statements. Please refer to the safe-harbor
language included in our press release, which describes certain risk factors
that may impact our future results. Also, please be aware that this call is
being recorded and members of the press may be participating. I will assume that
all of you have already seen our earnings press release, which was issued early
this morning. We have also made available several pages of supplemental
schedules. If you didn't receive this information and would like to get on our
fax list, give us a call. The press release and supplemental schedules are also
available today on our web site.


SLIDE 4: This slide contains the following title: "FFO Per Share". The slide
also contains a graph listing Q1 2000 and Q1 2001 from left to right along the
x-axis. Along the left side of the y-axis are the points $0.00, $0.25, $0.50 and
$0.75. There is a bar above the point on the x-axis marked Q1 2000 with the
figure $0.68 printed above the bar and there is a bar above the point on the
x-axis marked Q1 2001 with the figures (-12.0%) and $0.60 printed above the bar.

(David continued)

Our first quarter results were in line with the lowered estimates that we
released in January. Certainly, they were a disappointment for all of us,
greatly affected by the negative impact from utilities concentrated in the first
quarter. We generated 6% growth in total Funds From Operations, with FFO per
share down 12%, at 60 cents on a diluted basis

SLIDE 5: This slide contains the following title: "Core Property Performance*".
The * is noted at the bottom of the slide: "Reflects 33,657 apartment units
owned throughout 2000 and 2001." The following table is also on the slide:

                                Q1 2000         1Q 2001
Rental Rates                                    + 6.2%
Rental Revenues                                 + 6.7%
Other Income                                    +15.0%
Total Income                                    + 7.0%
Operating Expenses                              +15.1%
Net Operating Income                            + 0.5%

Occupancy Percentage            93.8%           94.3%


(David continued)

During the quarter, we achieved 6.7% growth in core property rental revenues,
consisting of a combination of rental rate increases, which averaged 6.2%, plus
occupancy gains of 0.5%.

We are most pleased with the 6.2% growth experienced in rental rates, which
represents a new record, beating our previous high by almost one-half percent.
Just to review, since this is a new year, our definition of "core" communities
has been updated to include the 10,127 net acquisitions that were completed in
1999. A total of 33,657 units are now included in our core communities, which
represents over 85% of our owned portfolio.
"Other income" at our core communities increased by 15% this quarter, reflecting
our ongoing successful efforts to increase ancillary income. Most of these
additional revenues represented a broad mix of fees and charges, including
laundry, cable, and net profits from corporate apartments. These great results
on the revenue side would usually have given us reason to celebrate. However,
expenses at our core properties increased by a substantial 15.1% this quarter --
another record that we would have preferred not to have broken.

SLIDE 6: This slide contains the following title: "Core Property Operating
Expenses", followed by the following table:

                                        Quarter Over Quarter Increase
                                                $               %
                                                -               -

Total Expenses                                  $4,611          + 15.1%

(David)
This slide focuses on the expense categories which were troublesome during the
first quarter. A more detailed comparison of all expense items for core
communities is included in the supplemental schedules. As shown here, the major
areas of increase occurred in gas, personnel, insurance and snow removal. Gas
costs at our core communities were up 62% for the quarter. Extraordinary
increases in national gas prices have been well documented in previous
conference calls and press releases. These results were actually slightly better
than we had budgeted. Contributing to a tough comparison is the fact that we
experienced above-average temperatures in most of our markets last year during
the first quarter, compared to lower temperatures in 2001. Personnel costs were
budgeted to increase 4.2% at our core communities. The reason our costs
increased 6.8% relate to two factors. One was the heavy snowfall this winter in
many regions, which contributed to overtime for maintenance personnel. Also, our
revenue results were so strong, we ended up paying out more in site-level
bonuses than we initially projected. 75% of site-level bonuses are calculated
based on revenues, with 25% determined after considering expense targets.
Insurance, even though it is up 124%, came in as expected, consistent with our
recent premium increase this past November that was discussed on this call last
quarter. Finally, greater than average snowfalls in many regions, compared to
just the opposite last year, resulted in significant increases in snow removal
costs.

SLIDE 7: This slide contains the following title: "Same Property NOI Growth".
This slide also contains a graph listing the years 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995,
1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 1Q 2001 and 2001 HME Est. from left to right along
the x-axis. Along the left side of the y-axis are the points 0.0%, 1.0%, 2.0%,
3.0%, 4.0%, 5.0%, 6.0%, 7.0%, 8.0%, 9.0% and 10.0%. There are bars above each
point on the x-axis with the following figures marked: 1991 - 4.4%, 1992 - 1.8%,
1993 - 2.7%, 1994 - 2.2%, 1995 - 5.0%, 1996 - 5.9%, 1997 - 8.4%, 1998 - 6.9%,
1999 - 9.0%, 2000 - 7.6%, 1Q 2001 - 0.5%, 2001 HME Est. - 7.8%.

(David continued)
For the quarter, net operating income growth was barely ahead of last year at
plus 0.5%. We expect to see dramatic improvement for the balance of the year,
such that we estimate NOI growth for the full year to be about 7.8%, more
consistent with previous years.
As we have explained many times before, some of our same-property NOI growth
reflects a return on incremental investments in our communities above and beyond
normal capital replacements. After charging ourselves a 10% cost of capital on
these additional expenditures, the adjusted NOI growth that will add to the
bottom line during 2001 is estimated to be about 4%.
The reason for our optimism in NOI growth for the balance of the year is
twofold. First, about 55% of the entire year's budget for natural gas falls in
the first quarter. Results for the balance of the year will not be hit nearly as
hard. We have also been successful in fixing a significant amount of our
exposure. Our new goal of being 90% hedged with fixed price contracts is now
within reach.
Secondly, we have substantial evidence that our residents will accept rent
increases that reflect higher utility costs. We have been passing this cost on
in the form of higher rents since last fall, and have not seen any fallout
affecting occupancy.

(David)
During the last five years, and back almost ten years if there was room on this
graph, you would see relatively stable natural gas prices. Historically, as we
enter each heating season, rates experience some upward pressure but start
settling back down around January.
The 1999/2000 heating season did not follow this same pattern. Rates continued
to climb during the summer months instead of leveling off. This unusual pattern
made it more difficult to execute our hedging policies. So, we were caught by
surprise. This will not happen again. Our new policy removes this item of
uncertainty from our results in the future.
We are now taking advantage of lower natural gas prices, in the range of $5.00
to $5.50 per decatherm, to negotiate fixed price contracts. At this point in
time, we are already 67% covered with fixed contracts for next winter, with a
plan to reach the 90% goal by the end of June.
We are also diversifying our risk by staggering contract term expirations, with
half lasting twelve months through the 2002 heating season, and the balance
extending beyond the first quarter of 2003.

(David)

All of the property results discussed so far have pertained to the 33,657
apartment units owned since the beginning of 2000. We continue to have positive
news concerning the 5,560 units in communities recently acquired. Our winter
expenses affected all of our communities, including the recent acquisitions
completed during 2000 and 2001. Nevertheless, these communities generated net
operating income during the first quarter which approximated a 9.6% yield on our
total investments of over $325 million. This is down slightly from our typical
double-digit initial returns, but still in line with announced expectations. We
see tremendous future upside in these communities beyond the initial returns.

SLIDE 10: This slide has the following title: "Market Breakdown" with the

The supplemental schedules show the breakdown of owned communities by market
area. Property-by-property comparisons are also included and grouped by region.
Every community has its own unique story. However, each of our markets is
supporting positive growth in rental rates.
Every region was affected by utility price increases, producing numerous
property level negative NOI growth rates for the quarter. Occupancy levels
throughout our portfolio remain quite healthy, averaging 95.3%. On a
same-property comparison, I am happy to say that we currently are about even on
occupancies compared to a year ago. This is true even though we are aggressively
increasing rents to recover the increase in utility costs. Recently, there has
been some concern about the auto industry and the Detroit market, which we
touched upon last quarter on this call. Chrysler and two auto parts
manufacturers have specifically announced potential layoffs affecting the
Detroit market. As a reminder, only 2% of our Detroit resident base is employed
by these companies. While a softening in the overall market is certainly not
good news, we feel pretty well protected with properties in the Class B
apartment sector with rent, including utilities, averaging only $710 per month.
In the Detroit region, we are currently running only slightly behind in
occupancies today compared to a year ago - at a healthy 95.6% versus 96.5% last
year.

(David continued)

"Other Corporate Income" of $310,000 during the first quarter reflects net
results from management and development activities. Detailed information on the
breakdown of this income is included in the supplemental packets and summarized
on this slide for webcast listeners.
I want to first make one clarification. Last quarter on this call, I reported
that we were electing taxable REIT subsidiary status, or TRS, for our existing
management companies. I also suggested that this corporate other income line
item would report gross income, with corresponding expense allocations reported
in each separate category on our income statement. We have chosen to keep these
subsidiaries organized as non-consolidating entities - such that we will
continue to allocate expenses and report the net results here. We believe the
financial disclosure is more useful if we can continue to segregate these
activities in one line item separate from the results from our core business of
owning and operating apartment communities. As a reminder, at the end of 2000,
we were successful in closing the sale of the affordable housing development
business to the key personnel who ran that division.
Looking at some of the individual line items, management fee revenues increased
7%. As we have sold our development business, there was no development fee
revenue this year, compared to almost $1.8 million a year ago. At the same time,
general and administrative costs allocated to this activity were reduced by $1.2
million. With that, I'll turn it over to Ed to discuss our Capital Markets
activities.


SLIDE 12: This slide has the title "Conservative Capital Structure". The slide
also contains a pie chart. On the left above the pie chart there is a box within
which is state: "Equity, 59%, followed by Common Stock (48%), Convertible
Preferred (16%) and Operating Partnership Interests (36%)". On the right above
the pie chart is a box within which is stated: "Debt, 41%, followed by Fixed
(97%) and Floating (3%)". The pie chart is divided into five pieces: the largest
part is labeled "Fixed Rate Debt", followed by (in order of size) "Common
Stock", "Operating Partnership Interests", "Convertible Preferred" and "Floating
Rate Debt". Below the pie chart is the caption: "$2.1 Billion Total Market
Capitalization". On the lower left of the slide is the caption: "*$28.50 per
share at 3/31/01".

(Ed)

Thank you, David. With a stock price of $28.50 per share at the end of the
quarter, leverage was 41% on our total market capitalization of $2.1 billion.
Nearly all of our debt was at fixed interest rates, with weighted average
maturities of about eleven years and an average interest rate of 7.4%. $18.5
million of floating rate debt was outstanding on our $100 million unsecured
revolving credit facility. Our interest coverage ratio was 2.7 times for the
quarter; and our fixed charge ratio, which includes preferred dividends,
averaged 2.1 times coverage.
These coverage ratios are each .4 times lower than what we experienced for the
fourth quarter. Just like most other financial indicators reported, these ratios
were negatively affected by extraordinarily high operating costs in the first
quarter. We estimate that these ratios will rebound in future quarters to
similar levels reported at year end - 3.1 times interest coverage and 2.5 times
fixed charge coverage.


SLIDE 13: This slide has the title "Net Asset Valuation (000's)" and is followed
by the table set forth below:

                                        9.0%    9.75%
                                        Cap     Cap
                                      -------- ---------

Real Estate Value                       $2,235  $2,063
Other Assets/Liab.                        (782)   (782)
                                      -------- --------

Net Asset Value                         $1,453  $1,281

NAV Per Share                           $32.77  $28.90

(Ed continued)

We have had very little equity activity during the first quarter, as we were net
purchasers of shares after taking into account the stock repurchase program. We
do not intend to issue additional net equity in the near future, since we think
the underlying value of our stock exceeds recent trading prices by a healthy
margin.
Today, we estimate the net asset value of Home Properties to be about $32.75 per
share, using a nominal cap rate of 9%. However, the market seems to be assigning
a value to our company based on a cap rate north of 9.75%. Given these market
conditions, we have developed several strategic initiatives which I discussed
last quarter on this call. I will now update you on our success.

SLIDE 14: This slide is titled: "Capital Markets Initiatives" . The slide has
the following bullet points:

* Continued Share Repurchases
* Increase Leverage Target to 45%
* Modify Dividend Reinvestment Return

(Ed continued)

Our plan is to opportunistically take advantage of the continued disconnect we
see between Wall Street and Main Street valuations. We began this year with a
Board authorization to buy back 1.3 million shares of our stock. We were very
active in the market, working around our many restrictions and blackout periods
to repurchase about 1.1 million shares for $30.1 million representing an average
price of $27.28 per share.
As the remaining authorization is just a little over 200,000 shares, we plan on
asking our Board next week to increase the authorization by an additional one
million shares, which is about 5% of our common shares currently outstanding.

SLIDE 15: This slide is titled: "Leverage Target" and contains the following
bullet points:

* Increase to 45%
* Provides Sufficient Funds for:
    * share repurchases
             OR
    * property acquisitions

(Ed continued)

Last quarter, I discussed taking advantage of locking in long-term interest
rates on some additional mortgage borrowings. With rates down, we see a widening
spread between the effective cost of equity capital versus debt capital. The use
of these proceeds could provide funds to repurchase shares or purchase
additional properties. Through April of the current year, approximately $16
million was raised through refinancing transactions. In addition, we were able
to reduce the weighted average interest rate on the loans by almost 120 basis
points. Our leverage has increased from 40% at year end to 41% at the end of the
first quarter. By replacing higher rate loans with all in rates of about 7%, we
can work towards increasing leverage without having a significant impact on
interest coverage ratios.
At this point, we cannot commit to a precise combination of sources and uses of
capital for the balance of 2001, as we expect to remain opportunistic. However,
we do have a lot of flexibility to take advantage of opportunities going
forward.

SLIDE 16: This slide is titled: "DRIP - Optional Cash Purchases". The slide has
a graph which has the following points on the x-axis: 1Q 2001 Monthly Average
and April 2001 Actual. The y-axis is marked "In Millions" and has the points $0,
$1, $2, $3, $4, and $5 going from bottom to top. The bars on the x-axis have the
following figures marked on top:

1Q 2001 Monthly Average 4.022
April 2001 Actual 0.43

(Ed continued)

Last quarter, I reviewed the changes we were contemplating making to our
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan to avoid further dilution from
issuing new shares at or below our underlying net asset value. Over the past
several years, when our stock price was closer to our estimate of NAV, the DRIP
has generated approximately $220 million of equity. While we have put these
proceeds to good use towards acquiring and repositioning properties, we now
believe that we should also be utilizing available capital resources to
repurchase shares. As we continue our focus on building shareholder value, it
currently does not make sense to offer our shares for sale at a discount at the
same time that we are attempting to buy back shares in the open market, which is
the reason we changed our DRIP program.
Those changes which were effective in the month of April were very successful.
The level of optional cash purchases have been reduced by about 90% from a
little over $4 million per month to $400,000 during April. We are pleased with
this success and are anxious to see how the reduced discount will affect the
level of quarterly dividend reinvestment in May.
Now, I will turn the discussion over to our Chairman.

SLIDE 17: This slide and the following title: "Achievements - First Quarter
2001" and contains the following bullet points:

* Acquisition yields averaging 9.6%
* Conservative balance sheet
* Net buyer of HME stock
* Successful "road show" trips
* Record rental rate growth of 6.2%

(Norman)

Thank you, Ed. Good morning, everyone!
I will start by reviewing a list of our accomplishments during the quarter. The
$328 million of investment made in acquisitions over the past year and a quarter
performed up to our expectations, with unleveraged yields averaging 9.6% during
the first three months of 2001, despite the effects from increased utility
costs. With interest rates down, this is a terrific result. During the quarter,
we were successful in repurchasing over $14 million of our shares in excess of
stock issued under the DRIP. The changes to the DRIP have had the positive
impact of dramatically reducing the optional cash portion of the plan. We have a
conservative balance sheet that can support the funding of additional share
repurchases and/or acquisitions with leverage of 41% and over $81 million
available on our line of credit. During the first quarter, we participated in
three "road show" trips to introduce Ed, having over thirty individual meetings
with analysts and institutional investors. Ed, David and myself will be
attending NAREIT in San Francisco in June. If we have not been able to hook up
with you before, please let David know, and we can schedule an appointment. Of
greatest importance, during the first quarter, we achieved a record breaking
6.2% growth in rental rates. For this, the on-site and property management staff
deserve congratulations. They have been able to pass on the incremental cost of
natural gas, plus a normal increase in rent. This bodes well for the future. We
do not wish to revise guidance. However, if we continue to be successful with
rate increases, as we expect, and the economic downturn is not too severe, we
have the potential to achieve double digit FFO per share growth in 2002. Next
year, we will have the benefit of higher rent with potentially no increase in
the cost of gas based on forward contracts soon to be in place.


SLIDE 18: This slide has the following title: "Property Sales" and has the
following bullet points:
* $110 million of properties with contract or letters of intent
* Properties located in five markets * Focus on 1031 exchanges
* Sale proceeds to be applied to acquisitions with higher growth prospects
  and/or share repurchases

(Norman continued)

As Ed discussed last quarter on this call, we have identified properties for
sale located in Upstate New York and in other areas spread over several regions.
These properties are either in slower growth markets, or less efficient to
operate due to their remote locations and/or small size. We are very excited
about the phenomenal interest buyers have shown in these properties, even though
we consider the properties to be "less desirable." All of the potential sales so
far have been negotiated without using brokers. I believe the quick response we
received was, at least, partly due to the reputation that we have in the
industry for quality management and high quality maintenance.
We currently have 14 properties located in five markets, either under contract
or a letter of intent, for total consideration in excess of $100 million. These
transactions are still subject to due diligence and certain contingencies. Many
of these potential sales must be matched with suitable acquisitions using 1031
exchanges to defer taxable gains for our shareholders and, in several
situations, to protect UPREIT investors. We have already targeted several
acquisitions for this purpose, so we do not expect the need for exchange
properties to delay closing by more than a month or so.
The proceeds from sale will be used to acquire properties with higher growth
potential and/or repurchase additional shares. The transactions provide the
opportunity to improve shareholder value by recycling proceeds from the sale of
property that is expected to produce an unleveraged IRR of from 9% to 10% with
our shares or property that will produce an unleveraged IRR of at least 12%. I
am personally thrilled by these potential transactions. Their completion will
validate the overall strategy that we pursue, as the sale of even our less
desirable properties are being made at prices in excess of historical cost
before depreciation. In other words, long-term cash flow from these properties
will exceed their reported FFO. This is important to note as we are unique as we
focus on upgrading and repositioning the 70% of properties in this country that
are over 20 years of age, while our REIT peers mostly focus on the 30% of
properties that are younger.
Our success will further demonstrate my belief that our strategy produces the
highest long-term risk adjusted return in the real estate industry. I have
started to refer to Home Properties as a "National Treasure," due to our
successful efforts in preserving this country's housing stock, while producing
favorable financial returns for our investors at the same time!
