Rural river town along the Wisconsin-Minnesota border
Sitting along the Wisconsin-Minnesota border is the rural town of Somerset, established in 1856. Known as the “Inner Tubing Capital of the World,” the community is bordered by the Saint Croix River to the west, and flowing through the area is the Apple River. Historically, the rivers contributed to the town’s logging industry and mills. They functioned as highways for fur traders, loggers and explorers. Today, they’re a significant source of local fun. Country living is on the table in this town, with people enjoying river access and views of farm fields. Hobby farms are popular in the area, with many residents keeping horses and llamas. You’ll also find large farms in the area, growing crops and keeping cattle.
Large lot sizes and contemporary homes dominate Somerset
Large homes on lots with plenty of acreage make up the majority of this town. Craftsman-style homes, contemporary estates, private farmhouse retreats, ranch-style homes and sprawling mansions comprise the area, and the price range reflects both the diversity and size of available homes. More modest houses—typically those with up to three bedrooms—start around $190,000 and can up to about $450,000, with lot size and construction year being the primary price influencers. Larger homes can fetch anywhere from $380,000 to $560,000.

Along the Apple River is Village Park, which has two ball fields, a large riverside picnic area and a scenic walking trail that crosses the river via a footbridge. Veteran’s Memorial Park features two playgrounds, one for children ages two to five and one for five to 12-year-olds. Residents will also enjoy the park’s pickleball, basketball and tennis courts. Gorgeous nature reserves comprise the area as well, with La Grandeur Natural Area and Parnell Prairie Preserve all being nearby. La Grandeur Natural Area features an 18-hole disc golf course, while Parnell Prairie Preserve has various trails for local hikers to explore.
The famed Apple River is the site for many an activity in town. Several camping establishments sit along the river, ranked as one of the best rivers in the country for tubing. Apple River is a 77.5-mile tributary of the Saint Croix River, and tubing is an incredibly popular local pastime. The river has a sandbar halfway down its length where locals gather for celebrations with snacks, libations and beach volleyball. In the summertime the area is filled with the sounds of summer concerts held at the riverside Somerset Amphitheater. The outdoor concert venue has a capacity of 40,000 and is the site of musical performances and festivals.
