Somerset is a small, self-governing town where leafy streets, architecturally distinct homes, and an engaged civic culture create a calm, connected way of life. Minutes from the shopping and dining of Bethesda and the established neighborhoods of Chevy Chase, residents enjoy a close-knit community with professional town services and amenities coordinated by the Town of Somerset. Proximity to Montgomery County jobs and the cultural energy of Washington makes daily routines feel easy.
Walkers, cyclists, and commuters have enviable options. The Friendship Heights Metro Station puts the Red Line within a pleasant stroll, and the beloved Capital Crescent Trail offers a scenic route for exercise or a car-free link to Bethesda Row and Georgetown. The town pool, pocket parks, and year-round events foster neighborly ties that newcomers quickly appreciate.
Families are drawn to strong public schools. Somerset is served by Montgomery County Public Schools, including Somerset Elementary School, Westland Middle School, and Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. Weekend routines often include story time and study breaks at nearby libraries, farmers markets in Bethesda, and coffee runs before a stroll along Little Falls Stream Valley.
Whether you’re upsizing, right-sizing, or relocating for work, Somerset offers a rare blend of residential calm and urban access.
