Why Live in Dover

Dover, NJ, a small city 40 miles from New York City, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1869. Originally a mill town, Dover's growth was spurred by the Morris Canal and the Morris and Essex Railroad. Today, Dover is a vibrant Latin hub with 70% of its population being Hispanic, reflecting its diverse cultural heritage. The city features a mix of early 20th-century colonial-style homes, 1930s multi-family houses, and midcentury ranch-style homes, many with private backyards and decks. Downtown Dover is known for its century-old buildings housing Peruvian, Colombian, and Guatemalan restaurants, and the historic Dover train station offers daily NJ Transit service to New York City. Residents enjoy a variety of things to do, including hiking at Mountain Park, fishing at Hedden Park, and visiting the Dover Free Public Library, which hosts numerous community events. The Dover Little Theatre provides local entertainment with dramatic and comedy performances. Dining options are plentiful, with restaurants like Quiet Man Pub, Sabor Latino, and La Bamba Grill offering international cuisines. Shopping needs are met by local markets and larger chains like ShopRite and Weis Markets. Dover has seen a significant decline in crime over the past six years, making it safer than the national average. The city experiences a humid tropical climate with an average winter low of 19 degrees and a summer high of 85 degrees. Commuter rail and bus services provide convenient access to New York City, and major roads like Route 46 and Interstate 80 connect Dover to Newark and beyond.
