A vibrant coastal community with artistic flair
Gulfport, often described as funky, artsy, and eclectic, offers a unique blend of small-town charm and cultural richness. The Dover House's location within this lively community provides residents with easy access to a variety of local attractions and amenities.
The Gulfport Art District, just a short walk from Dover House, is the cultural heart of the community. This vibrant area is home to numerous independent shops, art studios, and award-winning restaurants. Residents can explore the eclectic boutiques, attend art walks, or enjoy performances at the local theater.
Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the diverse dining options nearby. Stella's, a local favorite for breakfast, is known for its Southern-inspired comfort food and potent Bloody Marys.

Cycling is a viable option for local trips, with the area offering some bike-friendly routes. The community's bike storage facilities make it easy for residents to maintain and access their bicycles for short trips to nearby attractions or leisurely rides along the waterfront.
While public transit options are limited compared to more urban areas, the combination of local bus routes, easy highway access, and bikeable streets provides residents with sufficient mobility options to explore Gulfport and the surrounding Tampa Bay region.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
