About this rental

This is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom second-floor apartment at 25 Saxon Street in Fall River's Oak Grove neighborhood, set on a quiet dead-end street and one of just two units in the two-family building. The layout gives you three real bedrooms plus a separate kitchen and living area, and the low-density two-family setup means fewer neighbors than a larger apartment block.

The landlord pays water and sewer, so those never land as a separate quarterly city bill. The tenant pays electricity, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet. Heat is supplied by gas space heaters, cooling is by window AC, and the kitchen comes with a refrigerator, stove, and microwave. There is no in-unit or building laundry, and the facts list no dedicated parking, so plan on street parking. No pets are allowed on this unit per the owner's policy.

Move-in is first month plus last month — $3,900 total — with a $0 security deposit and no broker fee. The unit is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) month-to-month agreement at $1,950 per month.

The neighborhood — oak grove

25 Saxon Street sits in Oak Grove, a quiet residential section of northern Fall River named for the historic Oak Grove Cemetery at 765 Prospect Street, a more than 100-acre 19th-century burial ground that anchors the neighborhood. Saxon Street itself is a private dead-end, which keeps through-traffic out. The Robeson Street corridor handles daily errands a few blocks away: New England Pizza at 345 Robeson Street is a longtime neighborhood pizza shop named to the Fall River Reporter's 2025 list of the city's top ten mom-and-pop pizza places, with Google reviewers calling out its steak subs and chourico pizza, and Sunny Hill Farm convenience store shares the same 345 Robeson Street plaza for quick grocery and SNAP-eligible runs.

Because the unit has no laundry, the nearest laundromat is Laundry World at 208 New Boston Road, which holds a 4.3-star rating across about 74 reviews and runs both coin-op and card-op machines daily. Charlton Memorial Hospital at 363 Highland Avenue, part of Brown University Health, is a short drive away. Route 24 and I-195 are minutes out, putting Providence around 25 minutes west, while the Fall River Depot commuter rail station at 825 Davol Street, on the MBTA line that opened in 2025, is roughly two miles away for the train to Boston.

Before you apply

What is the rent at 25 Saxon Street, Unit 2, and what is included?

Rent is $1,950 per month, and the landlord pays water and sewer, so neither shows up as a separate quarterly city bill. The tenant pays electricity, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet. In Fall River, electricity runs over National Grid's wires and natural gas is delivered by Liberty Utilities. There is no broker fee on this Oak Grove three-bedroom, so the rent you see is the figure you commit to each month.

Is there a security deposit, and what does Massachusetts law allow?

There is no security deposit on this unit — it is $0. Under M.G.L. c.186 §15B, a Massachusetts landlord may collect at most first month's rent, last month's rent, a security deposit no larger than one month, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This listing skips the deposit entirely and instead collects first month plus last month, which simplifies your signing paperwork and removes any deposit-refund dispute later.

What does it cost to move in here?

Move-in is $3,900 total: first month's rent of $1,950 plus last month's rent of $1,950. There is no security deposit and no broker fee on this listing. Holding the upfront cash to two payments puts it below the three- and four-month asks common on other Fall River three-bedrooms, where a deposit and a broker fee would push the figure well past $5,800 before you ever pick up the keys.

What lease term is offered on this apartment?

The unit is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) agreement, which runs month-to-month rather than on a fixed one-year lease. The tenancy renews each month until either side gives proper written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, generally one full rental period or 30 days. Rent holds at $1,950 monthly. If a longer fixed term would suit you, bring it up at your tour and the owner can weigh it.

Is there parking at 25 Saxon Street?

The facts for this unit do not list a dedicated off-street parking space, so plan on on-street parking along Saxon Street and the surrounding Oak Grove blocks. Because Saxon is a short private dead-end, through-traffic stays low, which helps with curb space. The City of Fall River does not run a citywide residential permit program on most of these streets, though posted winter snow-emergency rules apply. Confirm the current parking situation at your tour.

Are pets allowed in this unit?

No. Pets are not allowed at 25 Saxon Street, Unit 2, under the owner's policy, and that applies to the unit and the common areas of the two-family building. If you rely on a service animal or an assistance animal as a reasonable accommodation, that request is handled separately under fair housing law rather than treated as a pet, and you can raise it during the application process.

Is there laundry in the unit or building?

No. There is no in-unit laundry and no shared laundry in this two-family building. The nearest laundromat is Laundry World at 208 New Boston Road, which holds a 4.3-star rating across about 74 reviews and runs coin-op and card-op machines seven days a week, with the last wash at 5:30 p.m. Plan a laundromat run or a wash-and-fold service into your routine while living here.

Which utilities does the tenant pay versus the landlord?

The landlord pays water and sewer. The tenant pays electricity, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet. In Fall River, electricity is delivered by National Grid (800-322-3223) and natural gas by Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944). Cable and internet are arranged by the tenant with a provider such as Xfinity. Budget for the gas heat and those service accounts on top of the $1,950 rent each month, especially through the winter.

How is the apartment heated and cooled?

Heat is supplied by gas space heaters, and the gas account is in the tenant's name through Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944), Fall River's natural gas provider. Cooling is by window AC unit; there is no central air on this listing. Because heat and hot water are tenant-paid, factor your winter gas usage into the monthly budget rather than assuming a flat all-in number through the colder South Coast months.

What appliances come with the unit?

The kitchen comes with a refrigerator, a stove, and a microwave, all provided and installed. There is no dishwasher or in-unit washer and dryer included with this apartment, and the building has no laundry. The stove runs on the tenant's Liberty Utilities gas account. Check the condition of the refrigerator, stove, and microwave during your tour so nothing catches you by surprise after move-in.

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 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program, VASH, and RAFT assistance are all accepted on this unit. Voucher holders apply on the same terms and are screened on the same criteria as every other applicant. Bring your voucher paperwork to the tour so the apartment can be checked against your program's payment standard quickly.

What is the application and screening process?

After you tour the unit, you submit a rental application that Fortified reviews for credit, income, rental history, and references, with each applicant judged on consistent standards under Massachusetts fair housing law, including the source-of-income protections in M.G.L. c.151B. There is no broker fee on this listing. The quickest route is to schedule a showing first, see the unit, then apply if 25 Saxon Street fits your budget. Call (508) 671-7228 with questions.

Who manages this apartment?

Fortified Realty Group LLC manages this unit. Fortified is a licensed Massachusetts real estate brokerage and property management company working across Fall River, New Bedford, and the wider South Coast, and it handles leasing, tours, maintenance coordination, and tenant communication directly. That means you deal with a responsive professional manager instead of an absentee owner. Questions about this Oak Grove three-bedroom go straight to the Fortified office at (508) 671-7228.

Who do I contact for maintenance and repairs?

Maintenance and repair requests run through Fortified Realty Group at (508) 671-7228. Once you are a tenant, you report any issue directly to Fortified, which dispatches licensed vendors and tracks each request through to completion. For a heat, water, or electrical emergency, call that office line first so the problem is logged and routed to the correct trade quickly rather than sitting unaddressed.

What is the lead paint status of this apartment?

The lead paint status for 25 Saxon Street, Unit 2, is listed as unknown. Under M.G.L. c.111 §197 and the Massachusetts Lead Law, owners of pre-1978 housing must disclose any known lead information and provide the state tenant lead notification at signing. Request the current lead disclosure from Fortified at (508) 671-7228 before you sign, especially if a child under six will live in the unit.

What is the Oak Grove neighborhood like, and how is the commute?

Oak Grove is a quiet residential section of northern Fall River named for the historic Oak Grove Cemetery at 765 Prospect Street. Saxon Street is a private dead-end, which keeps traffic down. Charlton Memorial Hospital at 363 Highland Avenue is a short drive away. Route 24 and I-195 are minutes out, putting Providence near 25 minutes west, and the Fall River Depot commuter rail station at 825 Davol Street is roughly two miles away for the train to Boston.

What is nearby for everyday errands?

In Oak Grove, New England Pizza at 345 Robeson Street is a longtime neighborhood pizza shop, Sunny Hill Farm convenience store shares the same 345 Robeson Street plaza for quick grocery runs, and Laundry World at 208 New Boston Road is the nearest laundromat. Charlton Memorial Hospital on Highland Avenue is close by, and the Fall River Depot station on the MBTA Fall River/New Bedford commuter rail line is about two miles away.
