Why I chose Dover over bigger cities
Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. Poverty rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. With a population of 33,070, Dover is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Easy commute
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
Should I be concerned? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
