Once a manufacturing Mecca, Fall River is a mix of industrial, recreational and commercial interests and has in recent years become a bedroom community thanks to a rise in business and affordable housing prices. History is mixed with the present throughout Fall River, as demonstrated by the houses of worship reflecting ethnicities of the immigrants who built the city, making for a melting pot of past, present and future. Fall River's diverse selection of real estate, from waterfront condominiums, to Victorian-style mansions in the city's Highlands district, to two- and three-family homes perfect for entrepreneurs.
