Introduction
The Truette is a waterfront apartment and townhome community on River Street in Dover, New Hampshire. For someone considering a move here, the community calendar and resident groups offer a look at everyday life beyond the apartment itself.
Residents use Cobu to find gatherings, connect through interest groups, share recommendations, and exchange items through a neighbor marketplace. The September 29, 2026 snapshot records 20 community events over the preceding 90 days, including events hosted by the property team and residents. It also records 22 active interest groups and engagement by 92% of Cobu users. Together, the calendar and groups offer several ways to connect with neighbors.
Life Inside The Truette
Community life includes both organized gatherings and everyday conversations. Residents can connect through community chat, interest groups, and the neighbor marketplace. That gives new arrivals several ways to get to know the people around them, whether they prefer a group gathering or a conversation about a shared interest.
Dinner Club centers on food and neighbors, using common spaces for residents to share dishes, drinks, and conversation. The Dog Group brings residents and their dogs together for walks and other gatherings. Foodie Group and Tasting Club offer ways to connect over food and drinks, while Book Club gives readers a place to choose books and discuss them.
These groups offer different ways to participate. Someone who enjoys meeting people at a larger event can follow the community calendar. Someone who prefers a smaller group can start with an interest they already enjoy.
The Events and Social Scene
The September 29 snapshot lists Summer Celebration, The Leasing Team's Cocktail Hour, and Leasing Cocktail Hour as recent events. Summer Celebration took place on August 26 in the Building 9 community café and lobby lounge, with locally catered food, drinks, music, and a raffle. It recorded 100 RSVPs on Cobu.
The September 3 cocktail hour featured an apple cider spritz with a mocktail option and recorded 60 RSVPs. The August 6 cocktail hour featured a watermelon margarita and recorded 52 RSVPs. These RSVP figures reflect responses on the platform; they do not establish how many people attended.
The upcoming calendar is separate from those recent examples. As of September 30, Create Your Own Mule Cocktail is scheduled for October 8, Pumpkin Painting for October 19, and Costume Party Trivia for October 28, 2026. Residents can check Cobu for current event details.
The property team and residents together hosted 20 community events in the preceding 90-day period. The 4.5-event monthly average covers a separate 8-month period since launch, based on 36 events. The two figures describe different windows of community activity.

The Neighborhood Through Residents' Eyes
The community's Local Events group provides a way to find neighbors interested in exploring the area together. Other groups connect those local outings with interests such as food, dogs, and books.
The Truette's waterfront location is part of daily life here. A tour can help you understand how the grounds, shared spaces, and surrounding neighborhood fit the way you want to live. You can also review the floor plans to compare the available home types.
Is The Truette a Good Fit?
The community activity offers useful evidence for prospective residents: a calendar of property-team and resident-hosted events, groups built around shared interests, and a platform for connecting with neighbors. The September 29 snapshot shows how Cobu users engage with those opportunities.
If meeting neighbors matters to you, ask about the current event calendar and resident groups during your tour. If you prefer quieter participation, ask how residents use the chat and marketplace. Those conversations can help you decide whether the community fits your preferences.
