Waterfront Dover homes and new developments
Just southeast of downtown Dover, the Dover Point community is a residential area located between the Bellamy and Piscataqua Rivers. Prospective homebuyers can find newly built homes, including some waterfront properties with private docks, as well as condos and apartments. Many residences are a short drive from local dining options and the historic Hilton Park. “You can get really nice sunset views on the water from some of the houses,” says Lee Ann Parks, an associate broker with eXp Realty who has been a resident of the area for over 45 years. “There has been a whole lot of growth and development in the community in the past couple of years,”
The pace of life in Dover Pointe is unhurried, allowing residents to savor the simple pleasures, like a leisurely walk.
From the quiet streets lined with charming homes to the breathtaking views of the water, every aspect of Dover Pointe contributes to its tranquil and peaceful character.

Private docks and Point Place condos
Many homes in the Dover Point community were built in the 21st century. Contemporary Cape Cods, New Englander-style homes and condos are the most common options. One of the area's newer communities, Point Place, is home to apartments, condos and assisted living facilities that are close to local businesses. More modest Cape Cods and condos can cost between $200,000 and $700,000, while larger homes closer to the water often run from $700,000 to $1.4 million.
Dover Pointe's collection of Cape Cod houses embodies the classic New England style, offering a blend of coziness and practicality.

Dining along Dover Point Road
Dover Point Road is home to most of the community's retail options and is the fastest route to downtown Dover. Right in the center of the community, residents can grab some Italian cuisine at Patty B's Italian Restaurant, which Parks says is well known for making their own homemade desserts daily. Classic seafood dishes are served at Newick's Lobster House. Hannaford is nearby, as well as Tendercrop Farm, a store full of locally sourced produce.
Newick's Lobster House is a popular restaurant in Dover Pointe that serves traditional New England seafood in a sprawling, laid-back locale on the waterfront.
Patty B's Italian Restaurant in Dover Pointe, with its warm, inviting ambiance and authentic, mouthwatering Italian cuisine, consistently earns its place among the top-rated Italian restaurants in New Hampshire.

Green and blue views at Hilton Park
Hilton Park is the primary green space for those who live in the Dover Point Area. Situated where the Piscataqua River meets the Great Bay, the park offers places to relax and a playset in the same spot where Edward Hilton, the father of New Hampshire, first landed back in 1623. “You can always see a ton of family gatherings there as well as people making use of the public boat launch,” Parks says.
In Dover Pointe, the playground at Hilton Park is more than just equipment; it's a place where childhood memories are made, filled with laughter, sunshine, and the simple joy of play.
Hilton State Park in Dover Point offers visitors a tranquil escape with its scenic waterfront views, well-maintained picnic areas perfect for family gatherings, and a boat launch for exploring the waters of the Piscataqua River.

Major Dover highways and turnpikes
Dover Point Road is the community's major road for day-to-day transportation, providing access to downtown Dover and other roads like Spaulding Turnpike and U.S. Route 4. These major highways are mainly used for commutes to neighboring cities like Portsmouth or Rochester. “The area is mostly car friendly except for the Point Place development, where you can walk to the local businesses.” Portsmouth International Airport is about 7 miles away, and the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is 6 miles away.
