A Town That's as Pretty as a Postcard

The heart of this community lies along the Salmon Falls River, where you'll find 19th-century factories and brick buildings repurposed into boutique stores, apartments, and professional offices. The Salmon Falls River also serves as the New Hampshire/Maine boundary, so Somersworth is close to just about everything on the Seacoast.

Let Us Show You Around Town

Somersworth and its neighbor Berwick, ME grew up along the Salmon Falls River. As a result, the area boomed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when textile factories and mills supported the local economy. Today, residents still appreciate Somersworth's rich history and vibrant downtown, where many of the historic factory buildings still stand.

As longtime Portsmouth residents and local Realtors, we love showing our clients around the New Hampshire Seacoast. Call us, text us, or visit us and we'll be happy to introduce to Somersworth.
