The Dovers sits just east of downtown Orlando, close enough that you can be in the city core in about six minutes — a rare combination of an established, low-key residential pocket and genuine proximity to everything. Homes here run modest in scale, with a median size around 1,474 square feet, and the neighborhood shares its name with the assigned Dover Shores Elementary. If you're comparing it against larger master-planned options like Laureate Park or Eagle Creek, The Dovers trades resort-style amenities for location and a smaller footprint.
Right now the market here is thin — just two active listings, with a median list price of $366,500 and a range from $365,000 to $368,000. Over the past year only four homes sold, at a median of $385,000, and sellers averaged 96% of asking, so there's some room to negotiate but not a fire sale. Buyers browsing Orlando homes for sale will find this a quieter, more affordable entry point than Metro West or newer east-side communities.
The Dovers is a community in Orlando, Florida.

The Dovers FAQs
Is The Dovers a good place to live?+
It's an established east-Orlando neighborhood that puts you about six minutes from downtown and 17 minutes from the airport, which is hard to match. Homes here are right-sized rather than sprawling, and it's assigned to Dover Shores Elementary and Boone High. If you want city access without the scale of communities like Eagle Creek, it fits well.
Is The Dovers expensive?+
No — it's one of the more attainable pockets close to downtown, with a median list price of $366,500 and current listings ranging from $365,000 to $368,000. That's well below the price points at newer master-planned areas across Orlando. Average price per square foot sits around $249.
What do homes cost in The Dovers?+
The median list price is $366,500, and the four homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $385,000. At roughly $249 per square foot on a typical 1,474-square-foot home, you're paying for location and convenience more than size.
How is the market in The Dovers?+
It's a small, slow-moving market — just two active listings and four sales in the last 12 months. Homes take a while to move, with a median of 97 days on market, and sellers average 96% of asking, so there's modest negotiating room. Compared to busier areas like Metro West, inventory here is genuinely limited.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no reported HOA data for the neighborhood, which suggests most homes here aren't tied to mandatory association dues — a plus over amenity-heavy communities. The median annual property tax runs about $5,078. Always confirm the specifics on any individual property before you write an offer.
