Somerset offers a relaxed, close-knit pace just a short drive from the energy of San Antonio. Once a notable oil boomtown, the community today leans into its agricultural roots and wide-open spaces, with room for gardens, workshops, and weekend projects. Commuters appreciate quick connections via FM roads to I‑35 and Loop 1604, and proximity to neighboring hubs like Von Ormy. Residents benefit from services tied to both Bexar County and nearby Atascosa County, adding practical options for business, courts, and county amenities.
Families are well served by the Somerset Independent School District, which anchors community life with spirited Bulldogs athletics and programs that prepare students for college and careers. On sunny days, locals head to the trail network and river overlooks at the Medina River Natural Area, or make a quick trip to campus events and continuing education opportunities at Texas A&M University–San Antonio. Spring brings a beloved regional tradition: the Poteet Strawberry Festival in nearby Poteet, where live music, parades, and farm-fresh berries turn a weekend into a celebration.
Housing here spans tidy starter homes, acreage properties, and new builds, giving first-time buyers and move-up households alike room to grow. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands Somerset’s market, schools, and lifestyle.
