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.

"It is very quiet and safe. There are speed bumps along the main road throughout the neighborhood. Also very diverse. The people are friendly for the most part. I do wish we had side walks though. and i do wish there were more children to trick or treat during halloween. "

"Very violent community and is not pet friendly . No one owns a pet in the apartment complex so it would likely be an bad option for a pet owner ! "

"It’s very easy to get in and out of the neighborhood. White Oak rd can be busy closer to 13 but this far back is great. Very close to Route 1 and lots of back road to drive to clear your mind when needed. Also still close to shopping, main road and highways, and Dover AFB."

"It’s mostly a positive place for pets, but there are a few owners who struggle to keep their animals on leases and others that allow their pets to bark or be loud for long periods of time."

"I’m indifferent about Dover. I’m conflicted about how I feel about this city. The crime has increased just like most densely populated areas. There are positive aspects but they don’t outweigh the negative. "

"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 "
