Dover holds the distinction of being New Hampshire's oldest permanent settlement, founded in 1623, and that deep history shapes everything from its brick-lined downtown to its converted mill buildings along the Cochecho River. As the most populous city in the Seacoast region and the county seat of Strafford County, Dover punches well above its weight, offering a strong sense of place anchored by Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, the Children's Museum of New Hampshire, and the Woodman Institute Museum. The University of New Hampshire in nearby Durham adds an educational pulse to the broader community, and the Amtrak Downeaster connects Dover directly to Boston, making it a practical base for commuters. Renters will find a genuinely varied housing stock, from loft-style apartments carved out of restored 19th-century mill buildings downtown to traditional New England townhomes and mid-size apartment communities spread across quieter residential corridors.
