From city living to a cottage hugging the Atlantic Coast, the region has something for everyone. There are homes suitable to every economic strata. There are a number of really significant landmark structures in the Fall River Area. Late 19th and early 20th century schools, banks, churches and stores are scattered about, and the collection of granite textile mills is unsurpassed. But it is in the neighborhoods that Fall River has its greatest strength.
Fall River is a series of neighborhoods joined as a city.
Each neighborhood has its own flavor, and each offers a unique style of housing. Restored homes built for the wealthy of centuries gone by make up the Historic Highlands District. Apartments, townhouses, waterfront condominiums, single family homes and multi-family dwellings are scattered throughout the city and along the waterfront. The city is dotted with spacious, well-kept parks that add special character to the neighborhoods they serve. Suburban living at its best is available in Somerset, Swansea, Westport, Freetown and Assonet.
