Property highlights

Here’s what makes Apt 3R stand out — a genuine 5-room layout with more usable space than most Fall River 1-bedrooms, owner-paid heat and hot water, and a walkable location on New Boston Road.

  • Exceptional natural light — third-floor position means windows on multiple sides; the living room and bedroom both get real daylight, not just a sliver.
  • Hardwood floors throughout — refinished and in solid shape across every room.
  • 5-room layout — living room, second living area/den, bedroom, office/small-eating-area off the kitchen, and kitchen. More rooms than the rent suggests.
  • Dedicated office or eating area — a separate small room off the kitchen that works as a home office, breakfast nook, or reading corner. Most 1-bedrooms in this price range don’t have it.
  • Quiet side-yard bedroom — windows face the side yard, not the street, so you get natural light without traffic noise.
  • Full bathroom with tub/shower — window over the tub; the bathroom is clean, functional, and properly ventilated.
  • Dark-cabinet kitchen with full appliances — refrigerator and stove included; window over the sink lets in light while you cook.
  • Shared coin-op laundry on-site — Speed Queen washers and dryers in the basement. No trips to a laundromat.
  • Owner pays heat, gas, water, sewer, and hot water — five utilities covered in the rent. You pay electricity, cable, and internet only.
  • Walking distance to Troia Café and New Boston Bakery — two beloved New Boston Road spots roughly 0.3 miles away.
  • About 5 minutes to Charlton Memorial Hospital — a short drive for nurses, residents, and hospital staff on the SouthCoast Health campus.
  • Route 24 access via Robeson St in roughly 3 minutes — straightforward highway access to Taunton, Brockton, and Boston with no highway-side noise at the apartment.
  • Classic Fall River triple-decker — wood-frame construction, high ceilings, the kind of building that’s been housing Fall River families for over a century.

Living in Fall River’s New Boston Road corridor

The New Boston Road corridor is a working residential neighborhood anchored by a small cluster of Portuguese-American businesses — a café, a bakery, a handful of family shops — that have been on this strip for decades. It’s not flashy, but it’s genuinely walkable for daily coffee and bread, and it positions you well for both the hospital (a major local employer) and the highway. Stetson Street itself is a quiet residential block, not a commercial thoroughfare.

What’s within a short walk or drive

  • Troia Café — ~0.3 miles. Café and breakfast spot literally around the corner on New Boston Rd.
  • New Boston Bakery — ~0.3 miles. Beloved Portuguese bakery directly across from Troia on New Boston Rd.
  • Charlton Memorial Hospital — ~5 minute drive. Major SouthCoast Health hospital on Highland Ave — strong commute for nurses, residents, and hospital staff.
  • Route 24 on-ramp at Robeson St — ~3 minute drive. Quick access north to Taunton, Brockton, and Boston; south to Providence.

Distances are approximate. Drive times are off-peak estimates. Walking distances measured point-to-point.

What to know before you apply

This is a 3rd-floor walk-up. There is no elevator. You will carry groceries, furniture, and laundry up three flights of stairs. If that’s a dealbreaker, this isn’t the right unit — but if you’re comfortable with it, the third-floor position is one of the reasons the apartment gets such good light and stays quiet.

Laundry is in the basement, shared with other tenants. Coin-op Speed Queen machines — not in-unit. Quarters only, no laundry card. It’s available and functional; it’s just shared.

Parking is street only. There is no off-street or assigned parking included with this unit. Stetson Street has street parking available, but like most Fall River residential streets, it fills up in the evening. A car is possible here; it just requires flexibility on parking.

No pets. No smoking. Tenancy At Will (month-to-month). This property does not allow pets or smoking anywhere on the premises. The lease is a Tenancy At Will, meaning it renews monthly — there is no fixed 12-month term. Either party can terminate with proper notice under Massachusetts law. Owner pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water. You pay electricity (National Grid), cable, and internet. Application fee is $0. Security deposit is one month’s rent ($1,390).

Questions before scheduling? Call David at 508-691-8035.

How do I apply?

After your showing at 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R, apply through our online application at fortifiedrealty.net/how-to-apply-for-an-apartment. Applications are reviewed in the order received. We look at credit, income (~3× monthly rent of $1,390), rental history, and ID. The application is $0 — Fortified Realty Group, LLC does not charge applicants any application or screening fees.

What is the application fee?

$0. Fortified Realty Group, LLC does not charge applicants any application, screening, credit check, or background check fees on 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R or any other listing. Approved applicants pay only first month's rent ($1,390) and security deposit ($1,390) at lease signing, plus the actual cost of the lock and key change.

What is the security deposit?

One month's rent — $1,390 — due at lease signing. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 186 Section 15B caps residential security deposits at one month's rent, and Fortified Realty Group, LLC complies fully: the deposit is held in a Massachusetts bank in a separate interest-bearing account, you receive a receipt and statement of condition at move-in, and the deposit is returned within 30 days of move-out per state law.

Is last month's rent required?

No. We do not collect last month's rent on 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R. Your move-in costs are: first month's rent ($1,390), security deposit ($1,390), and the actual cost of the lock and key change. That keeps your move-in capital under $3,000 — significantly below most Fall River triple-decker listings that demand first, last, security, and a broker fee on top.

Is there a broker fee?

No broker fee. Fortified Realty Group, LLC does not charge tenants a broker fee on 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R or any other listing we manage. We're a Massachusetts licensed real estate broker (David M. Ferreira, MA Broker #9519780) representing the owner, and our compensation is paid by the owner — not by the tenant. Your only move-in costs are first month's rent and security deposit.

What utilities does the tenant pay?

At 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R, the tenant pays electricity (National Grid, 1-800-322-3223), cable, and internet. You set those accounts up in your name before move-in. Average electric for a 1-bedroom Fall River apartment runs $40–80/month depending on season and AC usage. Internet options on Stetson Street include Xfinity, Verizon Fios (where available), and T-Mobile/Verizon 5G home internet.

What utilities does the owner pay?

The owner of 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water. That's unusual for a Fall River triple-decker — most comparable units pass at least some of these to the tenant. It also keeps your monthly cost-of-living predictable through Massachusetts winters, where a gas-heat bill on a comparable apartment can run $150–250/month from December through March.

How does heat work in this unit?

Gas-fired baseboard or radiator heat at 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R, paid for by the owner. You control the thermostat inside the unit. Gas baseboard is quiet, even, and the most efficient way to heat a third-floor Massachusetts apartment in winter. Because the owner pays the gas bill — not you — you can keep the unit comfortable through January and February without watching the meter.

Is there air conditioning?

Window AC. The windows at 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R are configured for window-mounted AC units in the warm months — there is no central air and no mini-split. A standard 5,000–8,000 BTU window unit handles the living room and bedroom comfortably. Window units run on the tenant's electric (National Grid), so summer electric bills are typically $20–40 higher than winter at this unit size.

What is the parking situation?

Street parking only. There is no off-street, assigned, or driveway parking with 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R. Stetson Street has on-street parking, but like most residential streets in Fall River, it fills up in the evening. If you depend on parking directly in front of the building every night, this may not be the right unit. Public transit and walkability on the New Boston Road corridor are solid.

Is laundry on-site?

Yes — shared coin-op Speed Queen machines in the basement. Quarters only, no laundry card. The machines are available and functional; they're just shared with other tenants in the building. There is no in-unit washer or dryer hookup at 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R, and we don't allow tenant-installed laundry. If in-unit laundry is non-negotiable for you, check our other active listings at fortifiedrealty.net/rent/.

Are pets allowed?

No pets are allowed at 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R. This is an owner-set policy across the building — no dogs, cats, or other animals, including emotional support animals outside of documented reasonable accommodation requests under the federal Fair Housing Act. If you're searching for a pet-friendly Fall River rental, check our other active listings at fortifiedrealty.net/rent/ for any units with a pet policy.

Is smoking allowed?

No smoking is allowed anywhere on the 76 Stetson St property — inside the unit, in common areas, in the basement, on the stairs, on the front porch, or in the yard. This includes cigarettes, cigars, vapes, and cannabis in any form. The policy is in the lease and a violation is grounds for termination. If smoking is non-negotiable, this is not the right unit.

When is the apartment available?

Available immediately. 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R is move-in ready right now. Move-in date is flexible based on application timing and lease signing — most approved applicants move in within 7–14 days of application approval. Available since May 14, 2026. Schedule a showing through Tenant Turner at app.tenantturner.com to see the unit before you apply.

What floor is the unit on? Are there stairs?

Third floor. Three flights of stairs. No elevator. 76 Stetson St is a classic Fall River triple-decker, and Apt 3R sits at the top — about 36 stairs from the front door to your unit door. Honest feedback: if you can't carry groceries, furniture, and laundry up three flights comfortably, this isn't your unit. If you can, the third-floor position is part of why this apartment gets great light and stays quiet.

What is the trash and recycling pickup?

Trash and recycling at 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R are picked up curbside on the regular City of Fall River municipal schedule (see fallriverma.org for the current day-of-week by street). Bring barrels to the curb the night before pickup and return them within 24 hours per Fall River city ordinance. Recycling is single-stream — paper, plastic, glass, and metal in the same bin.

Who manages this property?

Fortified Realty Group, LLC — a Massachusetts licensed real estate broker (David M. Ferreira, MA Broker #9519780) — manages 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R end-to-end: leasing, maintenance, rent collection, and tenant communication. Once you're a tenant, you have a 24/7 tenant portal and a real phone number (508-691-8035) to call when something needs attention. We're local, we answer the phone, and we own our work.

Is this a 12-month lease or month-to-month?

Tenancy At Will (TAW) — month-to-month. The lease at 76 Stetson St, Apt 3R renews monthly with no fixed 12-month term. Either party can terminate with proper written notice under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 186 Section 12 (typically 30 days or one rental period, whichever is longer). This gives you flexibility — especially useful if your job, school, or family situation might change in the next year.
