The community of Dover lies just off the Deerfoot to the east of the city downtown. The community contains Dover Glen as well, a micro-community within Dover. This residential neighbourhood is close to industrial areas but completely suburban within the boundaries. The community is defined by Deerfoot Trail, Peigan Trail, 26th Ave SE, and the CP Rail tracks to the east.
The community is made up of a diverse number of people, over 11,000 in all. The community is radically different to other neighbourhoods with one-fifth of the population coming from immigrants and many other nationalities finding a home here. The main choice for housing single-family home, while apartments make up a very large portion of those options. We also see a handful of townhomes and duplexes in the vicinity. Just fewer than half the community has their degree or certificate from university and college. The remainder have good jobs in the area, many of whom work in the downtown core.

Several households have children who’ve left home, leaving a more mature demographic here.
The Dover Community Associations works with the residents to speak for them and with them. The association listens to the community to determine their needs and desires, communicating that to the city council. The association offers several events in the neighbourhood for people to connect and build pride in where they live.
