About Dover Gardens
Most of Dover Gardens was built after the Second World War, with strong growth through the 1950s and 1960s. The streets are lined with brick and solid-construction homes on generous blocks. Many of those blocks have since been split, so original homes now sit beside new townhouses and courtyard homes. That mix gives buyers a wide range of entry points.
Location is the main draw. Brighton's beach, Jetty Road and the Seaford line stations are a short drive or bike ride west, and Westfield Marion is close by to the east. Sturt Road gives quick access across the south. Local reserves such as Branksome Terrace, McKay Street and Scarborough Terrace give the suburb plenty of green space.
- Patritti Wines cellar door on Clacton Road, a family winery operating in the suburb
- Branksome Terrace, McKay Street and Scarborough Terrace reserves
- Short trip to Brighton beach and Jetty Road
- Close to Westfield Marion for shopping, dining and the cinema
- Near Brighton Secondary School and Seacliff, Brighton and Seaview Downs primary schools
