Characteristics
Transportation
The favored method of transportation in this part of the Providence metropolitan area is very often a car. Nearby highways, such as Gold Streetar Mothers Memorial Hwy, are easy to drive to from any home in Somerset, and it is especially convenient to park. This part of the Providence metropolitan area is not very convenient for pedestrians as running common errands is occasionally difficult without a car. This community is also not very appropriate for cycling since the terrain is not particularly flat, and there are few bike lanes.
Services
It is a rather short distance to reach primary schools from most properties for sale in Somerset. In contrast, there are only a few high schools and therefore they can be an extended trip away. In addition to public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. Concerning eating, house buyers in Somerset commonly have to turn to a vehicle to do grocery shopping in one of about 20 stores. Nevertheless, it is generally a rather short trip to the nearest pharmacy, which can supply some staple foods. There are also a few opportunities for those who care about restaurants and cafes in close proximity.
Character
The character of Somerset is exemplified by its slower-paced environment. Somerset is very good for those who prefer a quiet atmosphere, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor. Parks aren't well-situated, resulting in them being rather challenging to get to from many locations within the community. Still, there are approximately 40 public green spaces nearby for residents to visit, such as Marsh Skating Area and Buffington Park.
