Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies And Pronouncements [Abstract]
Basis Of Accounting	A. Basis of Accounting The Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2015 and the statement of net assets as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from Audited Financial Statements, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Real Property Account's Audited Financial Statements included in the Real Property Account's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Real Property Account has transactions and relationships with Prudential and other affiliates. Due to these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among unrelated parties.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include valuation of investment in the Partnership.
Investment In Partnership Interest	B. Investment in Partnership Interest The investment in the Partnership is based on the Real Property Account's proportionate interest of the Partnership's fair value. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Real Property Account's interest in the General Partners' Controlling Interest was 42.2% or 1,910,381 shares and 42.0% or 1,954,048 shares, respectively. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and their fair value is based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership.
Income Recognition	C. Income Recognition Net investment income or loss, recognized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the monthly average net assets for the investment in the Partnership. Amounts are based on the Real Property Account's proportionate interest in the Partnership.
Equity of Prudential Insurance Company of America	D. Equity of The Prudential Insurance Company of America Prudential maintains a position in the Real Property Account for liquidity purposes, including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not affect contract owners' accounts or the related unit values. There were no cash transactions at the Real Property Account level for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 as all of the transactions are settled by Prudential on behalf of the Real Property Account through a redemption or an issuance of units. Therefore, no statement of cash flows is presented for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
