Why Live in Dover

Dover, NH, is a city with a rich colonial history that has evolved into a vibrant riverfront community. Originally a major seaport and shipbuilding hub, Dover transitioned to cotton manufacturing in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, the city features beautiful old brick buildings, many converted into apartment rentals. Dover's downtown is lively, with the Children's Museum and a bustling food scene. Major employers include Wentworth-Douglass Hospital and the University of New Hampshire. The restored Cocheco Mills building is a hub for festivals and events. Waterfront development along the Cochecho Riverwalk has spurred economic growth, with locally owned storefronts and walkable streets enhancing Main Street. Popular spots include Token’s Taproom, known for its pinball collection and arcade games. Dover hosts annual events like Apple Harvest Day and summer festivals. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy Bellamy Park's disc golf course, the Bellamy River Wildlife Management Area, and Henry Law Park, which has a playground and indoor pool. Housing styles range from New England cottages to modern mansions and waterfront condos. The Dover School District is highly rated, offering a lower student-to-teacher ratio than the national average. Commuters benefit from the city's train station, with Amtrak Downeaster routes to Boston and Portland. Dover experiences higher-than-average rain and snowfall, with temperatures from 13 degrees in January to 81 degrees in July. Violent crime in Dover is below the national average, adding to its appeal for potential home buyers.
