About Dover

Situated 23 miles south of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Dover was laid out in 1764 and is known for its historical significance in the Gettysburg campaign of the Civil War. Home to under 2,000 residents, Dover’s rather isolated location provides a blend of rural and urban life. Although Dover itself lacks a variety of shops and businesses, residents can easily access those important resources in the greater Harrisburg area just a few minutes away. Most people commute to the state’s capital for work. The Grandview Golf Course, a few miles outside of town, provides an excellent release for residents of an apartment or home rental in Dover. The Dover Area School District includes 5 elementary schools, 2 intermediate schools, and a high school, although the only campuses directly located in Dover are 2 of the elementary schools. Residents of a Dover house or apartment for rent look forward to Dover Community Park’s year-round events. Besides sports, fitness plans, and recreational areas, the park hosts a concert series during the summers that includes celebrity entertainers as well as music from local groups and students. The town also hosts an Old Fashioned Carnival as well as an annual Major League Soccer clinic.
