DOVER—
The City of Dover, New Hampshire is one of the best places to live in the country, according to Money Magazine.
Each year, the September edition of Money Magazine ranks the top 100 communities based on a number of factors, including quality of life, job opportunities, schools, safe streets, economic strength and weather.
Dover ranks number 90 on the list and is touted for its character; family friendly attractions, including the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire; and modern use of historic buildings.
“We’re obviously proud that our community is being recognized nationally for something we have long known locally – Dover is a great place to live,” said Dover City Manager J. Michael Joyal, Jr.
City of Dover Economic Development Director Daniel Barufaldi said he expects Dover to continue to score well.
“It’s a pleasure to see the outstanding quality of place and of life in Dover being nationally recognized,” Barufaldi said. “I fully expect that Dover’s future national ranking will continue to rise over time.”
Dover is one of only three New Hampshire communities to make the list this year. Hanover and Merrimack, New Hampshire also rank in the top 100 this year.
The list draws upon the most recent Census figures, which places Dover’s population at approximately 30,000.
