Peaceful living in Strafford County
Somersworth, the smallest city in New Hampshire, is located by the Salmon Falls River and is part of the Tri-City region. Somersworth was a mill town before it became a suburban community in more recent years. Today, the city has a population of 12,192 people, and many residents work in neighboring Rochester and Dover and at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Those who have jobs in the city work for area big-box stores and manufacturing plants. “Somersworth is a border community to Maine,” says Michelle Mears, director of the city’s Planning & Community Development department. “It’s close to Seacoast New Hampshire, which is one of the fastest growing regions. There is also lots of commerce happening in the city; Velcro and ContiTech Thermopol are two of the larger manufacturers in Somersworth that provide access to many jobs.”
A diverse array of housing styles line the quaint streets within Somersworth.

Newer properties from the past several decades can fetch from $550,000 to over $700,000. Historic houses and multifamily properties are concentrated in the downtown area and along High Street. Some of the bigger homes from the Victorian era are found in The Hill, a historic district near downtown. Multiunit dwellings go from $350,000 to about $650,000, and townhouses are between $450,000 and $550,000.“Lots of homebuyers and young families are moving to the city,” Mears says. “Somersworth has diverse housing options; there is a large number of new single-family homes, duplexes and subdivisions developed over the last five years.”
Newer builds can be spotted in many corners of Somersworth on spacious lots with tons of space.
