It honestly depends on the commute you are willing to make. Somerset is about a 45 min drive on backroads or shorter on the turnpike (for a charge of course). It’s amazing how much Somerset has to offer from car dealerships, to restaurants, to grocery/general merchandise options. Also Seven Springs are nearby, Johnstown is north, and hopping into the turnpike can get you to Pittsburgh easy. I love Bedford but it doesn’t have the same amenities that Somerset has and living halfway between the two makes it super inconvenient to go shopping.

I'm willing to commute a little bit for sure.

Would you say Somerset (or somewhere else) also has good local restaurants or is it just typical chains? I always cringe driving through towns where it's just TGI Friday's, Olive Garden and fast food.

They have a cool stainless steel looking diner, a nicer sit down restaurant, an authentic Mexican restaurant and some others… also there are tons of other options within a 30 min radius.
