Dover

Dover is a peaceful, scenic community where life moves at a comfortable, unhurried pace. With some of the lowest population density in Greater Boston, the town is known for its winding country roads, open fields, and that cozy New England village feel that’s surprisingly close to the city. With top-ranked schools, beautiful natural surroundings, and a warm, tight-knit community, Dover offers privacy and character. Residents love exploring the miles of conservation trails and places like Noanet Woodlands, and community traditions—like the annual Dover Days celebration—bring neighbors together year after year.

Dover also has a touch of local folklore: the Dover Demon, a mysterious creature reportedly spotted in the 1970s, has become a quirky part of the town’s storytelling charm. It’s the kind of fun, small-town legend that locals smile about and newcomers love hearing.
