Rich culture and affordability in Safe Sommerset
In 2023, the U.S. News and World Report released a list of the 10 most affordable places to live in the U.S. based on factors including quality of life, cost of living, desirability and job opportunities. Beaumont finished sixth, a fair ranking when comparing the job market to the cost of living and considering the great food and cultural opportunities. Safe Sommerset is a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood on Beaumont's west side. It was first developed in the 1960s and is still growing, likely due to Beaumont's consistent ranking on lists like the above and its ranking as #6 Best Place to Live in Texas, also in the U.S. News and World Report. "New construction is bringing a lot of attention to the neighborhoods west of downtown like Safe Sommerset," says RE/MAX agent Betty Cheek, who's sold homes in the area for over 11 years. The area is very comfortable and livable, with well-spaced single-family homes close to parks and proximity to some of Beaumont's best Tex-Mex and Cajun restaurants. It's an area enjoyed every day, but especially on holidays when the town puts a Southeast Texas spin on its festivities.
Nestled in Beaumont, Safe Sommerset offers a serene suburban atmosphere with modern amenities.
Amidst Safe Sommerset's charm, tree-lined streets provide a picturesque setting for residents.
