Dover
OVERVIEW
Nestled on the south shores of the Charles River is the town of Dover. With a population of only about 6,000, Dover is a quiet, tranquil community. Still only 15 miles from Boston, Dover has a more rural feel with open fields and forests throughout the town. Because of this, lots are typically larger relative to its MetroWest neighbors Needham and Wellesley. There are grand old estates and farm houses alongside newer neighborhoods, but either way homes are usually set on at least an acre of land.
