Across the Acushnet River from New Bedford lies Fairhaven, a historical town in Bristol County that juts out into Buzzards Bay on the southeastern tip of Massachusetts. The birthplace of renowned financier Henry Huttleston Rogers, Fairhaven is full of immaculate landmarks to architecture and American history that Rogers helped build.
Fairhaven High School is a perfect example of what makes the area so alluring. Its iconic style and historic past make the highly-rated high school a major selling point of Fairhaven. There are numerous restaurants and stores that line Huttleston Ave. and Sconticut Neck Rd. Grab a thin-crust pizza from Riccardi’s, or enjoy piles of fresh seafood at Gene’s.
Fairhaven is well-suited to biking, so accessing any of the waterfront parks — like Fort Phoenix State Reservation — is a breeze. Apartments and homes here have remained more affordable than the surrounding areas. Fairhaven’s proximity to the water means there are plenty of rentals that come with a picturesque view.
