New Bedford is one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in all of Massachusetts. Housing prices are soaring and could rise even more when the planned South Coast commuter rail line finally starts running trains back and forth to Boston.

WBUR reporters Simón Rios and Andrea Perdomo-Hernandez bring their reporting from the newsroom to Radio Boston.

This segment aired on November 2, 2023.
