Early 20th century multi- and single-family housing
"Niagara's central to the city," Laliberte says. "It's a mix of multi- and single-family homes with more multi- than single-family." Most of Niagara's housing was built in the early 20th century. These multi- and single-family houses often use traditional architecture and have units on at least three stories. Recent sales prices for single-family homes range from around $200,000 to $500,000, while multi-family properties start at around $400,000 and can sell for as much as $850,000. Most properties in Niagara don't have much yard space, as the homes tend to take home most of the lots, and some streets in Niagara do not have sidewalks.

The Great Feast of the Holy Ghost of New England
Fall River has a rich Portuguese heritage, and a big part of this culture is the city's Portuguese feasts, which are frequently held by local churches. "We're proud of the Portuguese culture," Laliberte says. "Between all the churches, you can probably find a Portuguese feast almost every weekend." The city's largest feast is the five-day Great Feast of the Holy Ghost of New England, an annual celebration of the Azores' culture. Held 2 miles west in Kennedy Park each August, this festival includes a parade, live music and a distribution of food blessed by the bishop.Getting around Fall River and to Providence and Boston
