In many ways, Dover screams "heavy metal." At one time in the not so distant future, iron ore was so plentiful that it could simply be picked up off the ground. Dover also lays claim to hosting the first Metallica concert with Kirk Hammett as part of the group's lineup.

Dover is well known for its place in popular culture, and this is especially the case since it was referenced numerous times in the hit show "The Sopranos." Fortunately, getting 'whacked' by the mob isn't too high on the "Things to Fear" list in Dover. In fact, there aren't too many things on that list at all.

Moving to Dover

Those moving to Dover have a whole host of things to look forward to, and while it's one of the most densely populated cities in all of New Jersey, it definitely doesn't have that "packed city" charm that so many people despise. All of this, and you're still only about 30 miles from the Big Apple.

If you're wanting to move to Dover, you need to get started yesterday, and that's no joke. Just a few years back, the "New York Times" wrote an article about how popular Dover had become and why people should move to the area. If you're looking at places for rent, you should start a good three to five months in advance. This place is packed, and there's good reason behind it. So get on it!

In reality, any time is a good time to move to Dover. In fact, once a place opens that you like, that's the best time to move. Rain is consistent, though a little heavy, throughout the year; so that's not really a factor. Average low temperatures, though, can drop below 20 degrees during the winter. If you don't like the cold, the summer offers a cozy time to make your move.

Apartment homes usually require a rental application and pet deposit, but that's in your typical American city. We already told you: Dover is anything but that. Show up with proof of income so the landlord knows that you're not going to be a squatter. Also, understand that Dover has a crime rate consistently lower than America's, so backing yourself up with a criminal background check won't hurt much either.

Dover Neighborhoods

Southeast: Those living in the southeast neighborhood of Dover will be able to enjoy Mountain Park, which is located smack dab in the middle of it. Nature not your thing? Well luckily, the place is littered with nice bars and ethnic restaurants.

Southwest: If for some reason you're still scared by the fact that "The Sopranos" knew about this place, St. Clare's Hospital is located here for any injury issues you might come across. Oh, and you've got the Dover Little Theatre and Hedden Park nearby as well.

Town Center: This area, which is split in half by the West Union Turnpike, is home to just about everything. Come on people, it's called 'town center' for a reason. If you find housing for rent in this area, make sure to go check out Rockaway Town Square for everything your little heart could ever fancy.

Living in Dover

Once you get a place in Dover, whether from knowing someone with a nice available apartment or from countless hours of searching "studio apartment for rent in Dover" on Google, you'll be excited you did. Seriously, look at all these perks; and then realize that you need to get on finding a place here immediately.

The Land of a Thousand Parks? Okay, maybe not a thousand parks, but lots. There's Mountain Park, Freedom Park, Mount Hope County Park, Hurd Park, Germania Park -- you get the point.

Great chances to meet everyone. Sure, there are a million ways to meet people, but you should check out the Dover Flea Market. It's America's oldest continuously running flea market and Sunday street fair. Stop being a homebody and check it out!

History Comes Alive

Dover has a rich history, and they're not going to let you forget it. Head over to Fort Nonsense in nearby Morristown or just stay put and check out whatever the Dover Historical Society happens to have going on that day. You could use a little history lesson.
