ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT

What is the purpose of this Information Statement?

This Information Statement is being furnished to you pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Partnership Agreement to notify you of an action taken by the Advisory Committee and ratified, confirmed, approved and adopted by the Consenting Limited Partners holding a majority of our issued and outstanding Limited Partnership Units. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in calling and holding a special meeting of all Limited Partners, and in order to effect the action as promptly as possible for the purposes described herein, the Partnership chose to rely on the approval of Consenting Limited Partners, holding a majority of our outstanding Limited Partnership Units. We are making this Information Statement available to you on or about [INSERT DATE], 2026. The Partnership is not soliciting your proxy or consent and you are not being asked to take any action in connection with this Information Statement.

If you hold Depositary Receipts through the Depositary Agent, this Information Statement is being made available or forwarded to you by the Depositary Agent.

Description of the Partnership Securities

The authorized capital of the Partnership is represented by three classes of partnership units. There are two categories of limited partnership interests, the Class A Units and Class B Units, and one category of general partnership interests (the “General Partnership Units”). The Class A Units have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Each Class A Unit is exchangeable for 30 publicly traded Depositary Receipts, which are currently listed on the NYSE American and are registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Class B Units were issued to the original general partners of the Partnership. The General Partnership Units are held by the current general partner of the Partnership, NewReal, Inc. [(the “General Partner”). Since Jameson Brown and Ronald Brown are the controlling stockholders holding 37.5% and 25.0% ownership, respectively, of the General Partner, as well as the executive officers and directors of the General Partner, they may be deemed to beneficially own all of the General Partnership Units held of record by the General Partner.

The Class A Units represent an 80% ownership interest, the Class B Units represent a 19% ownership interest, and the General Partnership Units represent a 1% ownership interest.

Distributions: Any cash available for distribution is distributed 80% to the holders of Class A Units, 19% to the holders of Class B Units and 1% to the holders of General Partnership Units.

Voting Rights: Except as otherwise required by law and except as provided by the terms of any other class or series of stock, holders of General Partnership Units have the exclusive power to vote on all matters presented to the Company’s partners.

Conversion Rights: Each Class A Unit is exchangeable, through Computershare Trust Company (“Computershare” or the “Depositary”) (formerly Equiserve LP), the Partnership’s Depositary Agent, for 30 Depositary Receipts. The Depository Receipts are listed and publicly traded on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol “NEN.”

Who is entitled to notice?

Each holder of record of outstanding Limited Partnership Units as of the Record Date, other than the Consenting Limited Partners, is entitled to notice of the Action taken.

The Limited Partnership Units consist of the issued and outstanding Class A Units, Class B Units and the Depositary Receipts in respect of Class A Units. If you hold Depositary Receipts, this Information Statement is being made available to you or forwarded to you by the Depositary Agent.

What actions were approved by the Consenting Limited Partners and what constitutes the majority of the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Units?

The Consenting Limited Partners, holding approximately 51% of our issued and outstanding Limited Partnership Units approved the election of Mr. Griffin to the Advisory Committee. See “Advisory Committee Election and Approval.”

As of the Record Date, there were approximately 92,477 Class A Units (approximately 91,146 of which were represented by 2,734,375 Depositary Receipts), and 21,963 Class B Units, constituting a total of approximately 114,440 Limited Partnership Units issued and outstanding. The Consenting Limited Partners collectively held approximately 37,256 Class A Units and 21,963 Class B Units, respectively, representing approximately 52% of our outstanding Limited Partnership Units.

If holders of a majority of the Limited Partnership Units voting thereon as a single class do not so approve the election of the replacement member, that replacement shall cease to serve and the remaining member or members may repeat the entire process until no designee is so rejected. If, for any reason, however, there is no member of the Advisory Committee then in office, the General Partner shall designate a new Advisory Committee, and within sixty days after such designation, shall submit the names and brief biographies to the Limited Partners for their approval. Any such designee of the General Partner not receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Limited Partnership Units, voting thereon as a single class, within sixty days after the date of notice thereof from the General Partner, shall be deemed rejected, and those new members who are approved (or the General Partner, if no replacement is so approved) shall then designate further replacements, subject to the approval of the Limited Partners, until the replacement shall finally be approved by a majority of the holders of Limited Partnership Units voting thereon as a single class.

NOTICE OF ELECTION OF A NEW ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER AND LIMITED PARTNER APPROVAL

August 18, 2026

To the Limited Partners of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership:

Notice is hereby given that the remaining members of the Advisory Committee of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership (the “Partnership,” “we,” or “our”), have elected Michael Griffin as a successor member of the Advisory Committee to fill a currently existing vacancy in the Advisory Committee.

Under Section 14.11 of the Partnership’s Second Amended and Restated Contract of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), such election is subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the Limited Partnership Units, voting together as a single class, within 60 days after the date of this notice. Section 14.11 requires that this notice be accompanied by a brief biography of the new member (set forth below) and a reply card by which the Limited Partners may approve or reject the election.

MATTER SUBMITTED FOR YOUR APPROVAL

Election Approval: To approve the election of Michael Griffin as a successor member of the Advisory Committee. Upon approval, the Advisory Committee will be composed of Messrs. Michael Griffin, Robert J. Nahigian, and David Ross.

Biography of the New Member

Michael Griffin, age 37, is a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Eleven West Partners, a real estate investment firm that acquires and operates properties across multiple asset classes with a focus on long-term value creation. Prior to founding Eleven West, Mr. Griffin was a member of the acquisitions teams at The Davis Companies and Westbrook Partners, where he helped deploy more than $300 million of equity into value-add investments nationwide and contributed to raising an $877 million private equity fund. Earlier in his career, he was a growth equity investor at Bain Capital. He is also the Co-Founder of the Corey C. Griffin Foundation, which has raised over $50 million to support children’s healthcare and education initiatives across the Boston area. Mr. Griffin earned his MBA from Harvard Business School and graduated cum laude from Middlebury College. Mr. Griffin is a Limited Partner of the Partnership and is not a General Partner or an affiliate.

The continuing members of the Advisory Committee are Messrs. Robert J. Nahigian and David Ross.

Who May Act

Holders of record of the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Units — the Class A Units, the Class B Units, and the Depositary Receipts in respect of Class A Units — as of the close of business on July 27, 2026 (the “Record Date”), voting together as a single class, are required to approve the Advisory Board’s election. As of the Record Date, there were 114,440 Limited Partnership Units outstanding, consisting of 92,477 Class A Units, 91,146 of which were held through the depositary receipt program and represented by 2,734,375 Depositary Receipts, and 1,331 held directly) and 21,963 Class B Units.

Vote Required

The approval requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Limited Partnership Units, voting together as a single class. Because the approval requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding Limited Partnership Units, a failure to return a reply card, an abstention, and a broker non-vote will each have the same effect as a vote against that approval. If the approval is not approved within the 60-day period, Mr. Griffin will cease to serve, and the remaining members of the Advisory Committee may elect another successor and repeat this process, as provided in Section 14.11 of the Partnership Agreement.

How To Respond; No Meeting

No meeting of Limited Partners will be held for purposes of this approval vote, as under Section 14.11 of the Partnership Agreement the requisite approval is obtained by written reply. Accordingly, please mark, sign, date, and return the enclosed reply card in the accompanying postage-paid envelope as soon as possible.
