About this rental
This is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of roughly 925 square feet on the third floor of a three-unit building at 455 Middle Street in Fall River's Kennedy Park neighborhood. The layout gives you two real bedrooms plus a kitchen with a refrigerator and stove and a separate living room, and the top-floor location means no upstairs neighbors. At about 925 square feet, it runs larger than many two-bedrooms in the area.
The move-in structure is unusual here: there is no security deposit, and there is no broker fee. You pay first month's rent of $1,495 plus last month's rent of $1,495 to start. Heat is gas baseboard or radiator, cooling is a window AC unit, and the landlord pays water and sewer. The tenant pays electricity, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet.
Parking is on the street only — there is no off-street parking with this unit. There is no laundry in the unit or building. The lease is Tenant At Will, month-to-month. No pets are allowed.

Read the full listing disclosures →The neighborhood — Kennedy Park
Kennedy Park is one of Fall River's signature green spaces — a 57-acre historic park bounded by South Main Street, Bradford Avenue, Middle Street, and Bay Street, with walking paths, ballfields, and open lawns. Living at 455 Middle Street puts that park essentially across the street. For food, Sam's Bakery at 256 Flint Street is a Fall River institution, drawing lines for its brick-oven Lebanese meat and spinach pies, with a 4.8 rating across 186 Yelp reviews. Saint Anne's Hospital sits up the same street at 795 Middle Street.
The location is convenient for drivers. Route 24 and Interstate 195 are both minutes away, putting Providence roughly 25 minutes west by car and the Cape Cod gateway within reach to the east. The Fall River Depot commuter rail station at 825 Davol Street, on the Fall River/New Bedford line, is about two miles north for the Boston train. For laundry, Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue is the nearest option.

Before you apply
What is the rent at 455 Middle Street, Apt 3, and what's included?
Rent is $1,495 per month, and the landlord pays water and sewer, so neither lands as a separate quarterly city bill. 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). There is no broker fee, so the sticker rent is what you commit to each month.
Is there a security deposit, and what does Massachusetts law allow?
No security deposit is required on this unit. Under M.G.L. c.186 §15B, a Massachusetts landlord may collect first month's rent, last month's rent, a security deposit no greater than one month, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This listing skips the deposit entirely and collects first and last month's rent instead, which keeps a chunk of upfront cash off the table.
What is the total move-in cost?
Move-in totals $2,990: first month's rent of $1,495 plus last month's rent of $1,495. There is no security deposit and no broker fee on this listing. That two-payment structure keeps the upfront cash below the three- and four-month asks common on other Fall River two-bedrooms, where a deposit and broker fee would push the figure past $5,000.
What lease term is offered on this apartment?
The apartment is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) agreement, which runs month-to-month rather than a fixed one-year lease. The tenancy renews each month until either party gives written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, generally one full rental period or 30 days. Rent holds at $1,495 monthly. If you want a longer fixed term, raise it at your tour and the owner can talk it through.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does the unit have?
This is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of roughly 925 square feet on the third floor, one of three units in the building. The layout includes two real bedrooms plus a kitchen and living room, not a one-bedroom stretched with a bonus room. At about 925 square feet, the unit runs larger than many comparable Fall River two-bedrooms, and the top-floor spot means no upstairs neighbors.
Is there parking at 455 Middle Street?
There is no off-street parking with this unit. Parking is on the street only, along Middle Street and the surrounding Kennedy Park blocks. Fall River does not run a citywide residential permit program on most of these streets, so on-street parking is open and no permit purchase is required, though availability shifts with the time of day and posted winter snow-emergency rules.
Are pets allowed in this apartment?
No. Pets are not allowed at 455 Middle Street, Apt 3, under the owner's policy, and that covers the unit and the building's common areas. 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 three-unit building. The nearest laundromat is Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue, a short drive away and open 24 hours on weekends with large dryers. Plan for a laundromat run or a wash-and-fold service while living here, or budget for one if you would rather not travel for laundry.
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, electric service 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 those accounts on top of the $1,495 rent each month.
How is the apartment heated and cooled?
Heat is gas, delivered through baseboard or radiator units, 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. Because heat and hot water are tenant-paid here, factor your winter gas usage into the monthly budget rather than assuming a flat all-in number through the colder South Coast stretch.
What appliances come with the apartment?
The kitchen comes with a refrigerator and a stove, both provided with the unit. There is no dishwasher, microwave, or in-unit washer and dryer included, and no laundry hookups in this building. You supply your own window AC unit and any small kitchen appliances beyond the fridge and stove. Confirm the condition of the refrigerator and stove during your tour so there are no surprises 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 accepted on this unit. Voucher holders are screened on the same standards 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 does the application and screening process involve?
After touring the unit, you submit a rental application reviewed for credit, income, rental history, and references, with every applicant evaluated on the same standards under Massachusetts fair housing law, including the source-of-income protections in M.G.L. c.151B. The fastest path is to schedule a tour, see the apartment in person, then apply if 455 Middle Street fits your budget. Call (508) 671-7228 with any questions.
Who manages this apartment?
Fortified Realty Group LLC manages this unit. Fortified is a licensed Massachusetts real estate brokerage working across Fall River, New Bedford, and the South Coast, handling leasing, tours, maintenance coordination, and tenant communication directly. You deal with a responsive professional manager rather than an absentee owner. Questions about this Kennedy Park two-bedroom can go straight to the Fortified office at (508) 671-7228.
Who do I contact for maintenance and repairs?

Once you move in, 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 without delay.
What is the lead paint status of this apartment?
The lead paint status for 455 Middle Street, Apt 3, is recorded as unknown. M.G.L. c.111 §197 and the Massachusetts Lead Law require owners of pre-1978 housing to disclose any known lead information and provide the state tenant lead notification at signing. Ask Fortified at (508) 671-7228 for the current lead disclosure before you sign, especially if a child under six will live in the unit.
What is the Kennedy Park neighborhood like, and how is the commute?
Kennedy Park is anchored by the 57-acre historic park of the same name, bounded by South Main Street, Bradford Avenue, Middle Street, and Bay Street, with paths and ballfields across from 455 Middle Street. Saint Anne's Hospital at 795 Middle Street is up the same street. Route 24 and I-195 are minutes out, placing Providence near 25 minutes west, while the Fall River Depot commuter rail station at 825 Davol Street sits about two miles north.
What's nearby for everyday errands?
Close to 455 Middle Street, Sam's Bakery at 256 Flint Street is a Fall River institution for brick-oven Lebanese meat and spinach pies, carrying a 4.8 rating across 186 Yelp reviews. Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue is the nearest laundromat. Kennedy Park itself is across the street for walks and ballfields, Saint Anne's Hospital is up at 795 Middle Street, and the Fall River Depot rail station is about two miles
