Market Character

Somerset occupies one of the most strategically positioned parcels of land in Bristol County — bordered by the Taunton River to the east and Mount Hope Bay to the south, with Route 195 running through the heart of it and the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border marking its western edge.

Properties along the waterfront corridors — particularly along the bay and along the sections of the Taunton River that offer genuine dock access — are some of the most undervalued waterfront real estate in the region. Somerset posted a 23.5% median price increase year-over-year in 2026, the strongest appreciation rate in Bristol County.
