Life in Dover
Dover sits in east Calgary between 26 Avenue SE, Peigan Trail, 36 Street SE and Deerfoot Trail. It was established in 1971, so most homes are 1970s bungalows, split-levels, semi-detached homes and townhouses, with some low-rise condos.
The Inglewood golf course borders the community to the west, and 17 Avenue SE, with its shops and restaurants, is a short drive north. Deerfoot Trail and Peigan Trail make the commute downtown quick.
Who Tends to Love It Here
Dover tends to suit first-time buyers looking for a detached or semi-detached home on a budget, investors, and buyers who want a basement suite. Check whether a suite is legal first; my basement suites guide explains how.

Dover Real Estate Market
The benchmark prices below are CREB®’s own community-level figures for Dover wherever CREB® publishes one; any home type without enough sales this month uses the East district instead, and months of supply and the sales-to-new-listings ratio are district figures. These are CREB®’s published figures, not my estimates. If you want to know what homes on a particular street have actually sold for, ask me and I’ll pull the recent sales.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dover
Have a question that isn’t here? Ask me and I’ll get back to you, usually the same day.
Where is Dover?
In east Calgary, between 26 Avenue SE, Peigan Trail, 36 Street SE and Deerfoot Trail, just east of Inglewood.
What do homes in Dover cost?
CREB®’s October 2026 benchmark prices for Dover are $451,800 for detached homes and $355,900 for semi-detached homes. I’m happy to pull recent sales for the homes you’re looking at.
Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market in Dover?
In October 2026, detached homes in the East district had 4.54 months of supply and a 40.68% sales-to-new-listings ratio (CREB®). As a rough guide, under about 3 months of supply favours sellers, 3 to 4 months is balanced, and over about 4 months starts to favour buyers. Townhomes and condos can behave differently, so ask me for the numbers on the type of home you want.
Is Dover a good place for first-time buyers?
It’s one of the more affordable places in Calgary to buy a detached or semi-detached home. Budget for updates on older homes, and see my first-time buyer programs guide for help with the down payment.

Some do. Before you buy, check whether a suite is legal and registered with the City. My basement suites guide explains how.
