Somerset places and what they mean for a seller

Here are local landmarks and nearby communities that may come up when you talk about a Somerset-area house.

Borough historic district

Uptown Somerset Historical District

Near the Borough’s center, Uptown is organized around the courthouse. The Borough describes historic architecture from the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth centuries and lists sites on East Union and East Main Streets, including the Old Jail and Sheriff’s Residence and Coffee Springs Farm.

For your sale: If the historic setting raises a question about planned work, the Borough can explain its current requirements. We can talk about an as-is sale while you consider your options.

For your sale: For a property-use or permit question in this business area, the Borough’s permit page identifies the relevant contacts. You can talk with us about the house before that question is settled.

What our sellers say

BBB A ratingRead our Google reviews
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
Sandra M.Inherited Property — Estate Sale
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
James R.Behind on Payments — Pre-Foreclosure
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
Carol T.Rental Property — Problem Tenant
