About this rental

This is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom third-floor apartment at 76 Stetson Street, Unit 3F, in Fall River's New Boston Road area — roughly 700 square feet in a six-unit building. The layout gives you a separate bedroom, a full bathroom, a living area, and a kitchen equipped with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. You reach the unit by stairs; there is no elevator in this 1900-era walk-up building.

Rent is $1,595 per month with water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water paid by the landlord. You set up electricity through National Grid and arrange your own cable and internet. Heat runs on gas baseboard or radiator; summer cooling is by window air conditioner, which you supply. Coin-operated washers and dryers are in the basement, shared among all six units — no in-unit laundry on the third floor. Parking is on the street only; there is no off-street or assigned space. No pets are allowed on this unit.

The lease is Tenant At Will (month-to-month). Move-in is $3,190 total — first month's rent of $1,595 plus a $1,595 security deposit, with no last month's rent, no broker fee, and no application fee through Fortified Realty Group.

The neighborhood — New Boston Road

76 Stetson Street sits on a residential block in Fall River's New Boston Road corridor, steps from the Stetson Street intersection where neighborhood storefronts line up along New Boston Road. New Boston Bakery at 279 New Boston Road holds a 4.7-star Google rating across 300-plus reviews, with regulars pointing to scratch-made pastries, homemade soups, and gourmet sandwiches served from its four-season sunroom. Troia Cafe at 278 New Boston Road — directly across New Boston Road — draws neighborhood praise for specialty lattes, hand-poured coffee, and evening cocktails. CVS Pharmacy at 4171 North Main Street, a few minutes north, runs a drive-thru for prescriptions and everyday drugstore needs.

Charlton Memorial Hospital at 363 Highland Avenue is a short drive south for medical care. Route 24 and Interstate 195 are minutes away, putting Providence roughly 25 minutes west and New Bedford about 20 minutes east. The MBTA Fall River Depot at 825 Davol Street — South Coast Rail's Fall River/New Bedford Line to Boston South Station, opened March 2025 — sits about 1.5 miles south of this address.

Before you apply

What is the monthly rent at 76 Stetson Street Unit 3F, and what does it include?

Rent is $1,595 per month on this third-floor one-bedroom at 76 Stetson Street in Fall River's New Boston Road area. The landlord pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water, so those stay off your monthly bills. You set up electricity through National Grid, Massachusetts Electric Company, at (800) 322-3223, plus cable and internet on your own. That structure keeps winter budgeting predictable on a South Coast one-bedroom.

What is the security deposit, and what does Massachusetts law allow a landlord to collect?

The security deposit is $1,595, equal to one month's rent. Massachusetts caps move-in charges under M.G.L. c.186 §15B at 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 collects first month plus the deposit only — no last month's rent — which sits inside that statutory ceiling with room to spare on a Fall River apartment.

What is the total move-in cost for this apartment?

Move-in totals $3,190: first month's rent of $1,595 plus a $1,595 security deposit. There is no last month's rent on this unit and no broker fee. Fortified Realty Group does not charge an application fee. Holding upfront costs to two equal payments rather than three or four months is a real advantage on a $1,595 New Boston Road one-bedroom in Fall River, MA 02720.

What lease term is offered at 76 Stetson Street Unit 3F?

This apartment runs as a Tenant At Will agreement — month-to-month under Massachusetts law rather than a fixed 12-month term. Either party can end the tenancy with proper written notice, generally one full rental period under M.G.L. c.186 §12. Month-to-month fits renters who want flexibility without locking into a year on a third-floor Stetson Street walk-up in Fall River.

Is there off-street parking at 76 Stetson Street?

No. Parking is on the street only — there is no driveway space, garage, or assigned off-street spot with Unit 3F. Stetson Street and adjoining residential blocks share curb parking with neighbors. Fall River does not operate a citywide residential permit program on these streets, so you do not purchase a city parking permit to park near 76 Stetson Street in the New Boston Road area.

Are pets allowed in this apartment?

No. Pets are not allowed at 76 Stetson Street Unit 3F under the owner's policy, and that covers dogs and cats in the unit and common areas. If you rely on a documented service animal or assistance animal as a reasonable accommodation, raise it during the Fortified application process so it is reviewed under fair housing law and M.G.L. c.151B rather than treated as a household pet.

Where is laundry located in this building?

Coin-operated washers and dryers are in the basement of 76 Stetson Street, shared among the six units in the building. You do not need to drive to an outside laundromat for everyday loads, though there is no in-unit hookup on the third floor. Bring quarters or whatever payment the basement machines accept — plan on stair trips to the basement rather than in-hallway laundry access from Unit 3F.

Which utilities does the tenant pay versus the landlord?

The landlord pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water for Unit 3F. The tenant opens an electric account with National Grid, Fall River's electric utility, at (800) 322-3223; report outages to 1-800-465-1212. Cable and internet are tenant-arranged through a provider such as Comcast Xfinity. Because gas heat and hot water are included in rent, you will not set up a separate gas account for this apartment.

How is the apartment heated and cooled?

Heat is gas-fired baseboard or radiator, and both the gas and the heat bill are covered by the landlord. Summer cooling is by window air conditioner — there is no central air system in this six-unit building at 76 Stetson Street. You supply and install your own window unit for hot months on the third floor. Owner-paid heat keeps your January budget aligned with the $1,595 rent figure rather than a separate winter gas bill.

What appliances are included with Unit 3F?

The kitchen includes a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher provided with the unit. There is no in-unit washer or dryer — laundry is handled downstairs in the basement coin-op room shared by all six tenants at 76 Stetson Street. Bring your own window air conditioner for summer cooling. Confirm appliance condition during your tour of this 700-square-foot one-bedroom before you sign any paperwork.

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, MRVP, VASH, and RAFT assistance are welcome on equal terms with market-rate applicants. Bring voucher paperwork to your tour so payment standards can be checked against the $1,595 rent before you apply for 76 Stetson Street Unit 3F in Fall River.

What does the application and screening process involve?

Fortified Realty Group screens for income, rental history, and credit. There is no application fee on this listing. Apply after touring the third-floor unit so you can confirm the stairs, basement coin laundry, and street-only parking work for your situation. Questions about income requirements or voucher paperwork go to (508) 671-7228 before you submit an application for Unit 3F.

Who manages 76 Stetson Street Unit 3F?

Fortified Realty Group LLC manages this six-unit building on Stetson Street in Fall River, handling tours, applications, lease paperwork, and maintenance coordination directly. You work with a licensed Massachusetts property manager on the South Coast rather than chasing an absentee owner. Call (508) 671-7228 with leasing questions about this New Boston Road one-bedroom before or after you apply.

How do I report a maintenance issue after I move in?

Report repairs to Fortified Realty Group at (508) 671-7228. Once you are a tenant at 76 Stetson Street, maintenance requests go through Fortified, which dispatches the appropriate vendor and tracks each job to completion. For a heat, water, or electrical emergency in the building, call that office line first so the issue is logged and routed to the right trade without delay on your third-floor unit.

What is the lead paint status of this apartment?

Lead paint status for Unit 3F is recorded as unknown. The building dates to 1900, so at lease signing you receive the Massachusetts Tenant Lead Law Notification required under M.G.L. c.111 §197. Ask Fortified at (508) 671-7228 for available property records before you sign, especially if a child under six will live in this third-floor apartment at 76 Stetson Street.

How close is 76 Stetson Street to the Fall River train station and major highways?

The Fall River Depot MBTA station at 825 Davol Street sits about 1.5 miles south — roughly a six-minute drive via North Main Street on the Fall River/New Bedford Line to Boston's South Station, opened March 2025. Route 24 is minutes west, and Interstate 195 connects to Providence in about 25 minutes and New Bedford to the east along the South Coast corridor from New Boston Road.

What's nearby for everyday errands around New Boston Road?

Steps from 76 Stetson Street, New Boston Bakery at 279 New Boston Road handles breakfast and gourmet sandwiches, Troia Cafe at 278 New Boston Road serves specialty coffee and cocktails, and CVS Pharmacy at 4171 North Main Street covers prescriptions with a drive-thru. Charlton Memorial Hospital at 363 Highland Avenue is close by, and Fall River Depot commuter rail on the MBTA Fall River/New Bedford Line is about 1.5 miles south.

Is Unit 3F on the ground floor, and are there stairs?

No — Unit 3F is a third-floor walk-up in a six-unit building with no elevator at 76 Stetson Street. You climb two flights of stairs from the street entrance to reach the apartment. The trade-off is daily stair work in exchange for a 700-square-foot one-bedroom with landlord-paid gas heat on a quiet Stetson Street block just off New Boston Road in Fall River.
