Our Take
Dover is an affordable, family‑friendly town with decent schools and low flood risk, but its walkability and public transit are poor. Commutes can be long and traffic heavy, and you’ll need a car for most errands. It’s worth a deeper look if you’re comfortable with a car‑centric lifestyle.
