Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Century  Properties  Fund XIX (the  "Registrant")  owns a 100% interest in Misty
Woods  CPF  19  Limited   Partnership,   a  Delaware  limited  partnership  (the
"Partnership").   The  Partnership  owns  Misty  Woods  Apartments,  a  228-unit
apartment complex located in Charlotte,  North Carolina ("Misty Woods").  On May
19, 2005,  the  Partnership,  and eight other  partnerships  that own  apartment
complexes  containing 1,666 units,  collectively  (the "Selling  Partnerships"),
entered into a Purchase and Sale  Contract  (the  "Purchase  Agreement")  with a
third party,  Juniper Investment Group,  Ltd., a Texas limited  partnership (the
"Purchaser") to sell the nine apartment  complexes owned by the  Partnerships to
the  Purchaser  for a total  sales  price of  $62,300,000,  of which  $6,550,000
represents the sales price for Misty Woods. Each of the Selling  Partnerships is
affiliated with AIMCO  Properties,  L.P., an affiliate of the general partner of
the Partnership ("AIMCO Properties").

The  following  is a  summary  of the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  Purchase
Agreement,  which  summary is  qualified  in its  entirety by  reference  to the
Purchase  Agreement,  a copy of which will be filed with the  Registrant's  Form
10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005.

PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price is $62,300,000,  of which approximately
$6,550,000  represents  the sales  price for Misty  Woods,  subject  to  certain
prorations and  adjustments at the closing.  The Purchaser  delivered an initial
deposit of $375,000,  of which  $100,000 is  nonrefundable.  The  Partnership is
allocated  approximately  $41,250 of the initial deposit, of which approximately
$11,000 is nonrefundable.

CLOSING.  The expected  closing date for the  transaction is August 4, 2005. The
Purchaser  has  the  right  to  extend  the  closing  for up to  thirty  days by
delivering written notice and delivering an additional  (non-refundable) payment
of  $100,000,   of  which  approximately  $11,000  would  be  allocated  to  the
Partnership.

COSTS AND FEES. With respect to Misty Woods, the Purchaser will pay sales,  use,
gross receipts or similar taxes,  recording costs, any premiums or fees required
to be paid  with  respect  to the  title  policy  and one half of the  customary
closing costs of the escrow agent.  The Partnership  will pay the transfer taxes
and one-half of the customary closing costs of the escrow agent. With respect to
the  other  eight  apartment  complexes,  the  costs  and fees to be paid by the
Purchaser and  respective  selling  partnership  vary  according to the state in
which the apartment complex is located.

REPRESENTATIONS  AND WARRANTIES.  The  Partnerships  and the Purchaser each made
limited representations and warranties to the other.

RISK OF LOSS.  The risk of loss or damage  to the nine  apartment  complexes  by
reason of any  insured or  uninsured  casualty  during the  period  through  and
including the closing date will be borne by the  Partnerships.  The Partnerships
must maintain all of their  existing  insurance  coverage on the nine  apartment
complexes in full force and effect until the closing date.

ASSIGNMENT.  With  the  exception  of an  assignment  to  an  affiliate  of  the
Purchaser,  the Purchase  Agreement is not  assignable by the Purchaser  without
first obtaining the prior written approval of the Partnerships.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If the Purchaser  defaults in its obligations to deliver
when required any required  deposits,  the purchase price or any other specified
deliveries,  then,  immediately  and without notice or cure, the Purchaser shall
forfeit such deposits to the Partnerships,  and neither party shall be obligated
to proceed  with the  purchase  and sale of the nine  apartment  complexes.  The
Partnerships expressly waive the remedies of specific performance and additional
damages for any such defaults by the Purchaser.

If the  Partnerships,  prior to the closing,  default in their  representations,
warranties,  covenants,  or obligations then the Purchaser has the option of (i)
seeking specific performance of the Partnership's obligation to deliver the deed
pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement or (ii)  terminating the Purchase  Agreement
and have returned any deposits made by the  Purchaser,  and  recovering,  as its
sole recoverable damages its documented direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses
and costs up to $25,000 per apartment.
