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 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.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
