About this rental
This is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of about 800 square feet on the second floor of a 25-unit building at 2448 South Main Street, Unit 27, in Fall River's South End, near the Tiverton, Rhode Island line. You get two real bedrooms, a kitchen, living space, and one full bath — one flight of stairs between the entry and your door.
The landlord pays water, sewer, and hot water. You pay electricity and heat through National Grid (800-322-3223), plus cable and internet. Heat is electric baseboard, so winter warmth and lights share one National Grid bill; there is no tenant gas account. Cooling is window AC. The kitchen includes a refrigerator and a stove. Coin-operated laundry is in the basement, shared among the 25 units. One off-street parking space comes with the unit. Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis.
Rent is $1,595 on a Tenant At Will (month-to-month) lease. The security deposit is $1,595 and last month's rent is $0, so move-in is $3,190. Lead paint status is listed as unknown.

Before you apply
What is the rent at 2448 South Main Street Unit 27, and what does the landlord cover?
Rent is $1,595 per month at 2448 South Main Street, Unit 27, in the South End. The landlord pays water, sewer, and hot water. You pay electricity and heat through National Grid (800-322-3223), plus cable and internet. Heat is electric baseboard on that same National Grid account, so you do not open a Liberty Utilities gas bill here. There is no broker fee and no application fee.
How much is the security deposit, and what does M.G.L. c.186 §15B allow?
The security deposit is $1,595, equal to one month of rent. Under M.G.L. c.186 §15B, a Massachusetts landlord may collect first month, last month, a deposit no larger than one month's rent, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This South End unit takes first month plus that one-month deposit and lists last month's rent at $0, which stays inside the statute.
What does it cost to move into Unit 27?
Plan on $3,190 at signing: $1,595 first month plus the $1,595 security deposit. Last month's rent is $0. Fortified charges no application fee. Open a National Grid electric account before move-in — heat is electric baseboard, so winter warmth hits that bill, not a gas company. That two-check total starts this 800-square-foot two-bedroom at 2448 South Main Street.
What lease term is offered at 2448 South Main Street Unit 27?
Unit 27 rents as a Tenant At Will (TAW) tenancy — month to month, not a locked 12-month lease. Either side ends it with proper written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, which is one full rental period or 30 days, whichever is longer. Monthly rent stays $1,595. If a voucher administrator or employer needs a longer written term, raise that when you tour with Fortified Realty Group.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does Unit 27 have, and which floor is it on?
Unit 27 is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of about 800 square feet on the second floor of a 25-unit building at 2448 South Main Street. One flight of stairs sits between the entry and your door, and wash days add a trip down to the basement coin machines. The layout is two real bedrooms plus a kitchen, living area, and one full bath — not a one-bedroom stretched with a den.
Is parking included at 2448 South Main Street Unit 27?
Yes. This unit includes one off-street parking space. Confirm the exact stall during your tour of the 25-unit lot. Only one space comes with the lease; a second car uses on-street parking along South Main Street, subject to City of Fall River winter snow-emergency rules. One dedicated off-street spot matters on this South End corridor near the Tiverton line.
Are pets allowed at 2448 South Main Street Unit 27?
Yes, with a caveat: pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis at the landlord's discretion. Submit breed, weight, age, vaccination records, and rental history with the application so Fortified can take the request to the owner. That household-pet path is separate from a documented service or assistance animal, which is reviewed as a reasonable accommodation under M.G.L. c.151B and federal fair housing rules.
Is there laundry in the unit or building?
There is no in-unit washer or dryer. Coin-operated machines are in the basement of 2448 South Main Street, shared among the 25 units. Bring quarters or whatever payment the machines take, and plan the stair trip from this second-floor apartment down to the basement. You skip a laundromat drive for everyday loads, but you share the room with a full building on busy weekend evenings.
Which utilities does the tenant pay versus the landlord?
The landlord pays water, sewer, and hot water. You open electricity with National Grid, Massachusetts Electric Company, at 800-322-3223 (outages 1-800-465-1212). Heat is electric baseboard on that same National Grid account — Fall River electric is not Eversource. There is no tenant Liberty Utilities gas account on this listing. Cable and internet are on you; many South Main Street renters use Comcast Xfinity. Those bills sit on top of the $1,595 rent, especially through a Fall River winter.
How is this apartment heated and cooled?
Heat is electric baseboard, paid by the tenant through National Grid (800-322-3223). Hot water is landlord-paid, so you do not run a separate water-heating fuel bill. Cooling is window AC only; there is no central air in this 25-unit building. Budget a higher National Grid bill December through March when the baseboard runs, and another bump when the window unit runs in summer on the second floor.
What appliances come with Unit 27?
The kitchen includes a refrigerator and a stove supplied with the unit. There is no in-unit washer or dryer — wash days run on the basement coin-ops shared by the 25 households. Inspect the refrigerator and stove during your tour of this 800-square-foot second-floor apartment so you know their condition before the $3,190 move-in at 2448 South Main Street, Unit 27.
Do you accept Section 8 or other housing vouchers?
Yes. Source of income is a protected class in Massachusetts under M.G.L. c.151B, so Housing Choice Section 8 vouchers, the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), VASH, and RAFT assistance are accepted on the same terms as market-rate applicants. Bring your payment standard and voucher packet to the tour so Fortified can confirm the $1,595 rent works for your program before you apply for Unit 27.
What is the application and screening process?
After you walk Unit 27, submit a rental application that Fortified reviews for credit, income, rental history, and references under Massachusetts fair housing standards, including source-of-income protections in M.G.L. c.151B. There is no application fee and no broker fee. See the second-floor layout, off-street space, basement coin laundry, and any pet request first, then apply if the $1,595 rent and $3,190 move-in fit. Call Fortified Realty at (508) 671-7228 with screening questions.
Who manages this apartment?
Fortified Realty Group LLC, a licensed Massachusetts real estate brokerage, handles leasing, tours, rent collection, and tenant communication for Unit 27 at 2448 South Main Street. Fortified works Fall River, New Bedford, and the wider South Coast, so you deal with one local manager instead of hunting down an absentee owner.

Who do I contact for maintenance and repairs after move-in?
Once you have keys, report repairs to Fortified Realty Group at (508) 671-7228. Fortified logs the request and sends a licensed plumber, electrician, or HVAC tech for this 25-unit South Main Street building. No heat or a power outage? Call National Grid at 1-800-465-1212 for the wires, then Fortified so the ticket is documented. For leaks or other unit issues, use the Fortified line first.
What is the lead paint status of this apartment?
Lead paint status for 2448 South Main Street, Unit 27, is listed as unknown. Under M.G.L. c.111 §197 and the Massachusetts Lead Law, owners of pre-1978 housing must disclose known lead information and give the state tenant lead notification at signing. Ask Fortified at (508) 671-7228 for the current disclosure packet before you sign, especially if a child under six will live on this second floor.
What is the South End like, and how is the commute from 2448 South Main Street?
2448 South Main Street sits in Fall River's South End near the Tiverton, Rhode Island line. Kennedy Park's 57 acres lie about 1.5 miles north on South Main Street. I-195 west over the Braga Bridge reaches Providence in about 25 minutes; Route 24 north to I-93 puts Boston around an hour. Fall River Depot at 825 Davol Street on the South Coast Rail Fall River/New Bedford Line is about 3 miles north — opened March 24, 2025. SRTA buses run the South Main Street corridor.
What's nearby for food, hardware, and groceries from Unit 27?
From 2448 South Main Street, Marisqueira Azores at 1445 South Main Street covers Portuguese seafood about nine-tenths of a mile north, Schwartz Ace Hardware at 1756 South Main Street handles paint and fasteners, and Andrews Fruit & Produce at 1697 South Main Street is the produce stop about seven-tenths of a mile north.
