Dover

Welcome to Dover

A Private Oasis of Comfort and Luxury in the Heart of Massachusetts
 
 
Encapsulated within Norfolk County, Massachusetts, Dover is an enticing embodiment of privacy and affluence.

Dover takes pride in its large residential zoning, with almost all properties enjoying the luxury of an acre or more. The town's emphasis on tranquility is also evident in allocating a significant portion of its annual budget for snow removal, reducing traffic on its state highways. This captivating town, sitting gracefully on the southern banks of the Charles River, is surrounded by Natick, Wellesley, Needham, Westwood, Walpole, Medfield, and Sherborn, adding to its strategic location. Home to the intriguing folklore of the "Dover Demon", this town also piques the curiosity of those who enjoy a little mystery.
