A blend of country and coastal living
Pottersville received its name from Clark Chace, one of the first settlers in Somerset, Massachusetts. Chace inherited pottery-making skills from his family in England, and made it his mission to continue this trade in the states. By 1815, he had set up the first pottery in the area. However, over the years, his businesses dwindled, and by 1912, the region had transformed into a residential neighborhood. Although the potteries from that time are long gone, the towns origins still remain in the neighborhoods name. Today, Pottersville is best known as a classic suburb, blending country and coastal life: The neighborhood overlooks the Taunton River and is close to various walking trails and waterfronts. "It doesn't feel as rural as some other areas around it, such as Swansea," says Christy Querceto, a Realtor and Rhode Island native. "I would say it's a bit more cookie cutter, but still very scenic and peaceful overall." For shopping and dining, residents can visit one of the many restaurants lining County Street or commute into Fall River or Swansea for more options.

Classic New England architecture
Houses in Pottersville sit closely together but tend to have a little more yard space. Many homes come with a driveway and garage and are shaded by mature white pines. Querceto says there's a mix of housing styles, but "the majority of properties in this area tend to be cute little ranch-style homes, colonial-style homes and Cape Cods." Despite the lack of sidewalks, residents still walk or bike around the neighborhood. "It's great for biking around because there's so much space, and the roads lead to other residential areas," Querceto explains. Prices start at $320,000 and go up to $700,000.

Shopping and dining in Somerset
Most shopping and dining options are located around Route 138, also known as County Street. Querceto recommends Ma Raffa's Somerset, a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant. "It's loved by everyone in the community. Their servings are huge and family-sized, so I love to stop by there and pick up takeout." Querceto says another favorite of hers is Pink Bean, a small coffee shop located in Amelia's Flower Garden. "Sometimes, I will literally make the trip from Rehoboth to pick up coffee and a pastry from there." Her favorite place for dessert is Ice Cream Barn: "It arguably has some of the best ice cream around, and this is coming from someone who is a total foodie. You get massive scoops of homemade ice cream and then eat it while overlooking pastures and a cattle farm. It's such a nice experience." Groceries and other essentials are picked up at Auclair's Market.
