New Bedford

The City of New Bedford is seen by its residents as a wonderfully diverse and culturally rich community with a proud past, present and future.

The city prides itself on its working waterfront and historic district, as well as its expanding retail and tourist trades. While it is a city of approximately 100,000 people, New Bedford maintains a close-knit community feel. Recently named one of the top ten "Green Cities" in the country, New Bedford residents feel that its parks are breathtaking and its beaches gorgeous.
