What owners can pay for ramblers, split-level homes and custom estates
Plymouth has lots of ramblers, split-level homes and bungalows from the mid- to late 1900s, as well as two-story traditional homes and custom estates. Prices for homes of 4,000 square feet or less can range from the lower $200,000s to nearly $1.5 million, while larger properties often run from the lower $600,000s to more than $3.5 million. Townhouses usually sell between the upper $100,000s and around $1.3 million. The city tends to be more expensive than neighboring Maple Grove, but significantly less expensive than nearby Medina. “The market in Plymouth is highly competitive ... values tend to hold stronger than those in the surrounding areas,” says Allie Guerra, a Realtor with Re/Max Results and the Kerby & Cristina Real Estate Experts Team.
There's a wide variety of home styles in Plymouth.
Ramblers are common in Plymouth's older neighborhoods.

Wayzata High School serves the city.
Plymouth's Students are zoned for four school districts
Plymouth is served by four public school districts, but many students fall under Wayzata Public Schools, which is highly rated. Wayzata High School offers more than 30 Advanced Placement classes for its nearly 4,000 students. Private options include the highly rated Providence Academy.
There are several parks and lakes to explore in Plymouth
Clifton E. French Regional Park, overseen by the Three Rivers Park District, has hiking and biking trails as well as a spot to fish, swim and paddle on Medicine Lake. Each winter, the park’s trails are used by cross-country skiers, and families are drawn to its sledding hill. Parkers Lake Park stands out for its swimming beach, sand volleyball courts and kayak launches. Its trails connect to the Luce Line State Trail, which stretches more than 60 miles. Plymouth’s smaller parks often have ball fields, sports courts, playgrounds and picnic shelters.
The Luce Line Trail runs through the southern portion of Plymouth.
Ice fishing is a popular winter activity on Medicine Lake.

State Highway 55 and other major roads make it easy to get around Plymouth.
Residents have easy commutes to downtown Minneapolis
Interstate 494 and U.S. Highway 169 cut through Plymouth, and Interstate 394 runs just south of the area, giving the car-dependent city’s drivers easy access to the rest of the Twin Cities. Downtown Minneapolis is just over 10 miles away, a commute that takes 20-45 minutes in rush hour traffic. Saint Paul is closer to 25 miles away, or a 35- to 50-minute drive.
Fire & Ice Festival and other events light up the calendar
Plymouth's residents love to celebrate, and they come together for many events each year. You can check out:
Fire & Ice Festival, a winter celebration with ice skating, sled dog rides and bonfires
Primavera, a spring festival centered around art exhibits and live performances
Music in Plymouth, an evening at Hilde Performance Center featuring the Minnesota Orchestra and a fireworks show
Plymouth Farmers Market, a weekly Wednesday market running from June through September
You can visit a popular sports bar or go shopping at a nearby mall
Sports bars, international restaurants and New York-style pizzerias are all part of Plymouth’s dining scene. You can try places like:

The Fox and Pantry, a boutique coffee shop with house-made pastries and a full bar
Sunshine Factory Bar & Grill, a longstanding sports bar with daily specials
