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.”

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.”
