New Bedford, MA Apartments for Rent

New Bedford earned its nickname "The City That Lit the World" during its whaling heyday, and today this South Coast port continues to lead the nation's fishing industry by value. The city's maritime story lives on at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, while historic mill buildings and the County Street district now house modern apartment communities. If you're searching for apartments for rent in New Bedford, you'll discover one-bedroom options averaging around $1,517 per month.

Life in New Bedford means waterfront parks like Fort Taber and 97-acre Buttonwood Park are part of your backyard. Downtown's preserved 19th-century buildings house local restaurants and galleries, with UMass Dartmouth's arts programs adding creative energy to the scene. Getting around is straightforward with Route 195 and Route 6 connecting you to Providence and Cape Cod. The working waterfront keeps the fishing fleet busy while new offshore wind projects bring fresh job opportunities to this evolving coastal community.
