Dover & Sherborn
Dover
Dover’s open fields and pastures, 200 miles of bridle trails, and old stone walls might make you forget you are just 15 miles southwest of downtown Boston. Replete with pastoral beauty, many of the homes in Dover are set on large, sprawling lots. You will find historic homes, colonials, and quite a bit of new construction in this community nestled along the banks of the Charles River. Luckily for Dover residents, access to shopping is easy with Needham and Wellesley just a few minutes away. The public school system, shared with neighboring Sherborn, is consistently ranked among the top in the state.
Notable attractions and community features:
- Benjamin Caryl House
- Chase Woodlands

Sherborn
Sherborn has a friendly, small-town feel while offering easy access to downtown Boston and the shopping and entertainment in nearby Metrowest towns. You’ll find many antique homes, some of which are situated in the town’s two historic districts. The public school system, shared with neighboring Dover, is consistently ranked among the top in the state. Small class sizes in the lower grades are a particular point of pride.

Homeowners are granted access to Farm Pond, a town beach perfect for swimming, sailing, kayaking, fishing, skating, or just relaxing.
