Explore Chevy Chase neighborhoods
The Town of Somerset offers a residential setting with a distinct community identity within the broader Chevy Chase, Maryland area. Mature trees, individual homes and town recreational facilities give buyers a different starting point from either Downtown Bethesda or nearby condominium communities.
Somerset’s Location and Identity
Somerset lies west of Wisconsin Avenue near Friendship Heights, with Bethesda to the north. It is an incorporated town with its own government. A Chevy Chase mailing address and a Somerset location can describe the same home, but the exact address should guide any neighborhood comparison.
Community Life
Established in 1906, Somerset maintains a town pool, tennis courts and parks and recreation resources. Town Hall and community activities are also part of local life. Check the official Town of Somerset website for current programs and facility access details.
Homes in Somerset
The home search here is best approached property by property. An older home with additions may live very differently from a newer residence, even when the advertised square footage is similar. Compare room connections, usable outdoor space, natural light, parking and the scope of any work you would want to undertake.
The block matters, too. Walk the route toward your everyday destinations and consider the setting at different times of day. Proximity on a map does not always describe the experience from the front door.
Somerset Is Different from Somerset House
The Town of Somerset is a residential municipality. Somerset House I and II and Parc Somerset are condominium buildings on Wisconsin Avenue. They share a familiar name but represent different housing choices; condo buyers can use our Chevy Chase Luxury Condo Guide.
