What Locals Say about Dover

Review Highlights

Dover pulses with small-city ease: family-friendly, affordable, near beaches and big-city trips. People like the quiet, friendly vibe, solid schools, parks, and quick access to shops and highways. They dislike spotty crime, few sidewalks, limited jobs, noise, and some dated, pricey apartments.

"Love it, neighborhood is friendly and full of children. Many dog walkers and I hardly ever have a owner leave poop on my lawn. I haven’t witnessed crime. I do see people walking along the streets but I think it’s due to public transit being near by overall great place "
