Property highlights
This is a working-class apartment that does what it’s supposed to do — and that’s the point. The 6-unit white vinyl building is quiet, the tenants stay long-term, and the layout is the kind of straightforward floor plan you can actually live in. Walk in the front door, the living room is straight ahead, the bathroom and a closet to the side, the two bedrooms tucked back, and a functional kitchen with a refrigerator, gas stove, and counter space along one wall.
The interior doors have all been refreshed in modern black paint instead of the brown you usually see in older Fall River triple-deckers — small detail, but it makes the place feel current rather than dated. Both bedrooms are real bedrooms (queen-size at minimum, possibly king depending on furniture), each with a window for natural light and a closet. Coin-op washer and dryer are in the basement, so you skip the laundromat trips.
- Quiet 6-unit white vinyl building: long-term tenants, not a high-turnover property
- True 2-bedroom layout: both rooms fit a queen, with closets and natural light
- On-site coin-op laundry: washer and dryer in the basement, no laundromat
- Refreshed interior trim: modern black-painted doors throughout
- $3,100 total move-in: first month’s rent ($1,550) + security deposit ($1,550). No last month required for this listing, no broker fee, no application fee
