Somerset Homes for Rent

Somerset, a suburban neighborhood in southern Bellevue, is situated between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, with beachside parks just a 4-mile drive away. The area is exclusively residential, featuring high-end subdivisions adjacent to the forested Coal Creek Natural Area, which offers miles of trails and waterfalls. Nearby, Cougar Mountain Regional Wildlife Park provides additional trails and scenic views, while Eastgate Park hosts the Bellevue Zip Tour and the South Bellevue Community Center. Homes in Somerset are primarily mid-70s daylight ramblers or split-level ramblers, many with views due to the neighborhood's elevation of over 1,000 feet. Some older homes have been replaced with larger, modern properties. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, with a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10. Somerset Community Association fosters neighborly connections through events and groups. Shopping and dining options are abundant, with Factoria Village and The Marketplace at Factoria nearby, offering stores like Nordstrom Rack and Target, as well as restaurants such as Mama's Kitchen and Novilhos Brazilian Steakhouse.
