Moving to Somerset, MA: Local Insights from Your Neighborhood Movers
Somerset is a waterfront community on the Taunton River with a mix of established neighborhoods and newer developments. Many homes along the river and in the **Somerset Village** area are classic Colonials, Capes, and ranches, often with basements, multiple staircases, and river views. Waterfront properties frequently include decks, docks, and elevated foundations that require extra care during loading due to tidal influences and salt air exposure.
Inland neighborhoods toward **Somerset Center** and areas near the **Brightman Street Bridge** offer more suburban-feeling streets with larger lots, while some older sections feature tighter layouts and narrower roads. Housing is predominantly single-family homes, with some duplexes and multi-family buildings closer to commercial corridors. Moves here often involve coordinating around river access points and occasional bridge traffic patterns.
Seasonal considerations include summer boating activity along the Taunton River and potential winter icing on riverfront roads. Our teams are skilled at navigating Somerset’s mix of waterfront challenges and residential streets, coordinating with the Somerset Department of Public Works when needed, and protecting belongings from riverfront humidity and salt air.
Long Moving & Storage has helped many Somerset families relocate within this welcoming South Coast town. We understand the difference between a tight riverfront move and a more spacious inland property — and we make every move smooth and damage-free.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Somerset, MA
How much does it cost to move in Somerset, MA?
A typical local move in Somerset (2–3 bedrooms) ranges from $1,000–$2,400 depending on home size, number of stairs, and riverfront access. Waterfront moves or properties with tight access often cost more due to extra labor and equipment. Smaller moves start around $700–$1,300. We provide a precise, no-obligation quote based on your specific Somerset address.
What should I know about moving to Somerset, MA?
Somerset offers a mix of riverfront living along the Taunton River and comfortable suburban neighborhoods. Most homes are single-family with stairs and coastal or river features. Expect occasional bridge traffic and summer boating activity. Our crews are familiar with the town’s layout and plan routes accordingly.
Do I need a moving permit in Somerset, MA?
No moving permit is typically required for standard residential local moves in Somerset. However, if your move involves blocking a public road or using oversized equipment near the river, we coordinate directly with the Somerset Department of Public Works in advance. We handle all notifications.
What is the best time of year to move in Somerset, MA?
Fall (September–November) is generally the best time — milder weather and lower demand. Late spring (April–May) is another strong option. We recommend avoiding peak summer when river boating activity increases and winter when icy conditions can affect riverfront access.
How long does a local move take in Somerset, MA?
Most local Somerset moves take 4–8 hours. A standard 2-bedroom home usually finishes in 4–6 hours. Larger riverfront homes or properties with multiple stairs may take 6–9 hours. We work efficiently while treating your belongings with care.
What size truck do I need for a move in Somerset, MA?
For most Somerset homes we recommend a 16–20 ft box truck. Smaller 10–14 ft trucks work well for compact homes. Larger 24–26 ft trucks suit bigger properties, but we often stage with multiple smaller vehicles on narrower streets or riverfront access points. We assess your inventory and neighborhood access to choose the right combination.
Do you handle moves to waterfront properties in Somerset?
Yes! We specialize in moves to Taunton River waterfront homes, including careful handling of decks, docks, and salt-sensitive items while planning around tidal and river conditions.
