A waterfront community situated off Mount Hope Bay with parks, beaches, and seasonal programs, Somerset embodies the essence of a New England seaside town with many kinds of homes for sale. Part of Bristol County, it includes the neighborhoods of Pottersville and Brayton Point. The town celebrates its annual Musictown Festival, showcasing over a week of events each year. The Somerset Cultural Council is a committee of individuals appointed with the specific task of arranging concerts, festivals, lectures, and other exhibits by local artisans.
Somerset is accessed via Interstate 195 which provides a direct route to Providence. Once one of America’s vital shipping points, Somerset has transitioned over the years into a scenic suburb. Historically linked to Fall River, the two areas are currently connected by the Veterans Memorial Bridge, which is the fourth bridge to be constructed over the Taunton River.
