About this rental
This is a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom third-floor apartment at 76 Stetson Street in Fall River's New Boston Road area, roughly 700 square feet in a well-kept six-unit building. You get a real one-bedroom layout with a refrigerator and stove included, set on the top floor of a quiet residential street.
The owner covers water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water in the $1,390 rent, so the tenant pays only electricity (through National Grid), cable, and internet. Heat is gas baseboard or radiator, cooling is by window AC, and there is coin-operated laundry in the basement. Parking is on the street — there is no off-street parking. No pets are allowed on this unit.
This is offered as a Tenant At Will (month-to-month) arrangement. Move-in is first month plus a security deposit equal to one month — $2,780 total — with no last month's rent and no broker fee.

76 Stetson Street sits just off New Boston Road in Fall River, a residential corridor with everyday spots within easy reach. New Boston Bakery at 279 New Boston Road is a longtime favorite for fresh pastries, sandwiches, and coffee in its garden solarium, holding a 4.6-star rating on Tripadvisor across more than 30 reviews. For hardware and household runs, Rocky's Ace Hardware at 1702 President Avenue is close by, where 68% of rated customers call its service superior. This unit has its own shared coin-operated laundry in the basement, so there is no laundromat trip to plan. Charlton Memorial Hospital, part of Southcoast Health, is nearby at 363 Highland Avenue.
Route 24 is minutes away, putting Providence around 25 minutes out via I-195 and Boston roughly an hour north. The new Fall River Depot commuter rail station at 825 Davol Street is about two and a half miles away, under 10 minutes by car, on the South Coast Rail line toward Boston.

Before you apply
What is the rent and what's included at 76 Stetson Street Unit 3R?
Rent is $1,390 per month. The owner pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water, all included in that figure. The tenant pays only electricity through National Grid, plus cable and internet. With heat and hot water covered, your real winter cost stays close to the sticker rent instead of climbing with a separate gas bill each cold month.
What are the move-in costs for this apartment?
Move-in is $2,780 total: first month's rent of $1,390 plus a security deposit of $1,390. There is no last month's rent required and no broker fee on this unit. There is no application fee. That keeps the up-front cost to two months rather than the three or four months some Fall River listings ask at signing.
What is the security deposit and what are the Massachusetts limits?
The security deposit is $1,390, equal to one month's rent. 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 capped at one month, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This unit charges only first month plus the one-month deposit — well inside that limit.
What is the lease term on this unit?
This apartment is offered as a Tenant At Will arrangement, which is month-to-month under Massachusetts law. There is no fixed-term lease locking you in for a year. Either party can end the tenancy with proper written notice — generally at least one full rental period, as set out in M.G.L. c.186 §12 for tenancies at will.
Is there parking at 76 Stetson Street?
Parking is on the street only — there is no off-street or assigned parking with this unit. Stetson Street and the surrounding blocks are residential, so on-street spaces are shared with neighbors. Fall River does not run a citywide residential permit program on these streets, so no parking permit purchase is required to park near the building.
Are pets allowed in this apartment?
No. Pets are not allowed on this unit per the owner's policy. This applies to dogs and cats. If you have a documented assistance animal or service animal, that is handled separately under fair housing law rather than as a pet, and you can raise it during the application process so it is reviewed correctly.
Is there laundry in the building?
Yes. There is coin-operated laundry in the basement of the building, shared among the six units. You do not need to leave the building or visit a laundromat to wash and dry clothes. There is no in-unit washer or dryer hookup with this apartment, so the basement coin-op machines are the laundry setup for tenants here.
Which utilities does the tenant pay versus the owner?
The owner pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water. The tenant is responsible only for electricity, billed through National Grid, plus cable and internet if you want them. National Grid delivers electric service in Fall River; you set up your own account at move-in. There is no separate gas account for the tenant since gas is owner-paid.
How is the apartment heated and cooled?
Heat is gas, delivered through baseboard or radiator, and the gas and heat are paid by the owner. Cooling is by window air conditioner. The unit does not have central air, so you would use a window AC during the summer months. Because heat is owner-paid, you control comfort in winter without watching a separate heating bill climb.
What appliances come with the unit?
The kitchen comes with a refrigerator and a stove, both provided by the owner. There is no dishwasher, microwave, or in-unit washer and dryer included with this apartment. Laundry is handled by the shared coin-operated machines in the basement. You would supply your own window air conditioner and any small kitchen appliances you want beyond the fridge and stove.
Are Section 8 and other housing vouchers accepted?
Yes. Source of income is a protected class in Massachusetts under M.G.L. c.151B, so Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, MRVP, VASH, and RAFT assistance are welcome and reviewed like any other qualified application. Bring your voucher details during the application process so the rent and unit can be confirmed against your program's requirements before you sign.
What does the application and screening process look like?
Fortified Realty Group screens applicants on standard criteria: income, rental history, and a credit check. There is no application fee on this unit. You apply after touring the apartment, and we review the file and confirm move-in figures before any lease or tenancy paperwork is signed. Questions about the process can go to (508) 671-7228.
Who manages this apartment?
This unit is managed by Fortified Realty Group LLC, a Massachusetts property management and brokerage firm serving Fall River, New Bedford, and the South Coast. You deal directly with Fortified for tours, applications, lease signing, and maintenance — not a rotating cast of off-site agents. Reach the office at (508) 671-7228 with any questions about the unit.
Who do I contact for maintenance and repairs?
Maintenance and repair requests go through Fortified Realty Group, the property manager for this building. Once you are a tenant, you report issues directly to Fortified and we coordinate the repair. For any maintenance questions before or during your tenancy, call the Fortified office at (508) 671-7228 and we will route it to the right person.
What is the lead paint status of this apartment?
The lead paint status of this unit is currently unknown. The building dates to the early 1900s, so under M.G.L. c.111 §197 and the Massachusetts lead law you will receive the state Tenant Lead Law Notification and any available property records at lease signing. If a child under six will live in the unit, ask Fortified about inspection and the de-leading rules that apply.
What is the neighborhood like and how is the commute?
76 Stetson Street is just off New Boston Road in Fall River, near everyday spots like New Boston Bakery at 279 New Boston Road and Troia Cafe across the street. Charlton Memorial Hospital is close by at 363 Highland Avenue. The building is about five minutes from Route 24 and minutes from I-195, putting Providence around 25 minutes west and New Bedford about 20 minutes east.
