From Victorian terraces and centuries-old chocolate-box cottages to sustainable, new build estates, there is a high-quality mix of housing stock to choose from across the district. For businesses looking to invest in the area, there are extensive commercial options available too.
With architecturally important and historically significant buildings, and targets set to sustainably deliver new housing, including affordable options in the coming years, this is a district that is building for the future. This includes important regeneration projects such as Dover Beacon, which will provide new employment space for creative and digital businesses from 2026.
The Kent Property Market Report (KPMR) provides invaluable insight and analysis of investment and development county-wide, including the Dover district, over the past year. You can read the 2024 edition on the KPMR website. The next update is due in November 2025.
This is a district with the space for businesses to start, build and expand with a choice of business parks, employment centres and industrial estates to choose from, including the Discovery Park in Sandwich, White Cliffs Business Park in Dover and Aylesham Business Park.
