A Private, Refined, and Connected Community

Dover is one of MetroWest’s most distinguished towns—a place where privacy, natural beauty, and exceptional schools define everyday living. Known for its quiet residential character and expansive properties, Dover offers a rare blend of rural charm and modern convenience just 15 miles from Boston.


The Dover Lifestyle

Dover is intentionally small and intentionally peaceful. With winding country roads, preserved open spaces, and homes set on generous lots, the town delivers the kind of tranquility many buyers seek but rarely find this close to the city.

Residents enjoy:

  • Large, private properties

  • Top-ranked Dover–Sherborn schools

  • Scenic landscapes and outdoor recreation

  • A strong sense of safety and community

This is luxury in its purest form—space, serenity, and a lifestyle defined by quality.


Close to Everything, Without Being in the Middle of It

One of the biggest misconceptions about Dover is its lack of local amenities. In reality, Dover’s location is one of its strongest assets.

The town is surrounded by five high-amenity communities, giving residents immediate access to upscale shopping, dining, commuter routes, and daily conveniences in:

  • Wellesley – boutique retail, Linden Square, restaurants, commuter rail

  • Needham – major retail, dining, and professional services

  • Medfield – vibrant town center, breweries, arts and culture

  • Westwood – University Station, Route 128 access, shopping and dining

  • Natick – Natick Mall, multiplex entertainment, national retailers

Dover offers a peaceful residential setting with the benefit of being minutes from everything. It is luxury living without compromise.
