Historic and affordable living by the water in Highlands-Fall River
Historic roots are evident in Highlands-Fall River, a residential corner just north of Fall River, Massachusetts. “Victorian-style homes are typical here, many with their original details,” says local Realtor Lindsey Bshara-Leviss, who has over 28 years of real estate experience in the area. Highlands-Fall River is a neighborhood that boasts all the conveniences of city living, including walkability to amenities, without the hubbub of the city. “Highlands-Fall River is still one of the last affordable areas south of Boston, especially for properties above the hills with water views and historic value,” Bshara-Leviss says.
