City - New Bedford

New Bedford’s storied past as a prominent whaling port in the 19th century has earned the city the nickname “the Whaling City.” Modern-day New Bedford boasts a working waterfront that is considered to be America’s number one fishing port, supporting a bevy of commercial and recreational boats. New Bedford honors its rich history in its vibrant downtown area, which is teeming with museums, art galleries, diverse shops, restaurants, and cafes in historic buildings along cobblestone streets.

Renting an apartment or house in New Bedford means getting to enjoy a close-knit community feel, which is fostered by an array of annual events like the Taste of Southcoast, Folk Festival, Jazz Festival, Blues Festival, Working Waterfront Festival, Wine Festival, Oktoberfest, and the Summer Sound Series.
