A bustling small town
Plymouth is a compact city located within the Township of Plymouth. “People tend to like it because of the charm of the city,” says Carrie Bake Principal Broker of Bake Real Estate. “People really think that Plymouth is one of the best in terms of ambiance and vibrancy of the feeling you get when you’re walking around. It's lively but not rowdy.”
While Plymouth Township has a quieter suburban feel, the city of Plymouth offers a more walkable layout packed with restaurants and shops. “When people buy in the city, it’s because they want to be within walking or biking distance of everything,” says Bake.
Downtown Plymouth is dog & bike friendly.
New families will enjoy strolling around downtown Plymouth's various shops.

Shopping, dining and fun in downtown Plymouth
While there are shops and diners up and down Main Street, most are concentrated around Plymouth’s town square. Whether they’re grabbing fresh groceries from Westborn Market or mouthwatering tacos from Barrio Cocina, “People love that they can spend the day in downtown Plymouth,” says Bake.
Kellogg Park is at the center of the town square and is surrounded by a host of shopping, dining and recreation options. Bake describes the park as a meeting place, saying, “There are a lot of concerts in the park in the summer. It’s also where the Farmer’s Market is held, and on Wednesdays, there's a show for kids in the park.”
After spending a day at the park or shopping at the stores, locals can walk over to Penn Theatre to enjoy classic indie movies, second-run films and live music. The single-screen theater has been around since 1941 and has been a community staple since its inception.

Neighborhood parks and recreation options
For playground needs, residents head to neighborhood parks like Rotary Club Playground, Kiwanis Club Park and Fairground Park. The Plymouth Arts & Recreation Complex, also called PARC, is a sprawling recreation center with an ice area, a little league field, a fencing academy, a basketball court and more. “There are also lots of clubs you can join,” says Bake. “There’s a Garden Club and a rotary group. The library and PARC also do a ton of stuff in the community.”

Plymouth-Canton Community Schools
Plymouth shares a school district with Canton called Plymouth-Canton Community Schools. The district has an A rating on Niche and offers 14 elementary, five middle and four high schools. The top options for kids in Plymouth include Bird Elementary and Pioneer Middle School, both of which have A ratings on Niche. Three of the high schools, Plymouth High, Canton High and Salem High, are located at the Plymouth-Canton Education Park and all hold A ratings on Niche. “It’s almost like a college campus,” says Bake. “When you live in the district, you’re assigned one of the three schools by lottery selection, and any younger siblings will be sent to the same school.” The campus is in Canton and is centrally located for most residents. The fourth high school, Starkweather Academy, is an alternative school located in Plymouth.
Bird Elementary School received an "A" rating in 2024 according to Niche.com.
Plymouth High School ranks above the state average in key measures of college readiness.
Kids can walk or bike to Pioneer Middle School in the mornings.

A range of housing types
The size, price, and architectural style of the homes in Plymouth depend on the area. “Along Penniman Ave, you’ll primarily find Victorian area homes built in the early 1900s,” says Bake. “The lot sizes are a little bit smaller, and there are more of the Sears Homes.”
Namesake to the park at its center, “There’s a neighborhood called Hough Park that’s got newer homes and bigger lots -- about double to triple. That’s a very sought-after area,” she says. South of the Hough Park Area, there are more ranches, split levels and modern colonials on smaller lots.
“Along Ann Arbor Trail, there are some larger, older homes,” says Bake. “Some have been replaced by newer construction, but they’re mostly those older homes.”
In the city’s northeast end, “We also have an Old Town which has got a lot of character. It has its own little downtown area, and the prices there are a little bit less than those around Kellogg Park,” she says.
Townhouses and condos are mostly concentrated around the town square, but they can also be found around Sheldon, Edward Hines and Ann Arbor Road. Single-family home prices range from $250,000 for a ranch that needs some love to $1.4 million for a new home along Arbor Trail. Townhouses and condos range from $100,000 for a one-bedroom along Sheldon to $1.3 million for a modern two-bedroom at the heart of the town square.
Plymouth is known for its numerous large, old growth trees that shade properties below.

The 275 Corridor and a short drive from essentials
Interstates 275 and 96 meet just north of the city. Also known as the 275 Corridor, the highways provide convenient commutes to Detroit and Ann Arbor. And while there’s no shortage of locally owned diners and unique shops in downtown Plymouth, residents drive just 4 miles south to Canton to shop at box stores like Target, Walmart and BJ’s.
