Plymouth

It is hard to visit the downtown area of Plymouth and not find yourself browsing the real estate listings the next day. Sure, parking is an enormous pain in the winter when you have to park over in the structure and walk to your destination, but the city keeps these sidewalks clear at all times! Downtown is one fantastic restaurant, bar, café and lounge after another and nearly every venue has outdoor seating, so this is the place to be spring through fall.

Nearly 97 percent of the population is Caucasian and it is more than obvious that itis an upscale area. You can walk downtown at 3 am and not feel as though you are in danger. The Plymouth-Canton Community School District is fantastic and it includes the only educational park in the state.

There are more than 50 recreational programs for people of all ages offered by the city as well as 12 well-manicured parks and an NHL-size ice arena. Plymouth does host a few annual events where traffic gets a little crazy, but you will likely just want to head downtown and participate anyway. Art in the Park, Ice Sculpture and the Fall Festival are a few you don’t want to miss.
