I lived in Plymouth for over 13 years and I loved most of everything about it. It had great public schools, there were friendly people all around. There was plenty of jobs and parking spaces everywhere. On the other hand, it wasn't very diverse and there was little to no night life. The commute to stores was longer compared to the cities. In addition, most apartments and townhomes are pretty expensive. Overall, I liked Plymouth I felt safe but it wasn't as exciting and there weren't as much interesting people as the cities.

Plymouth is not the richest of areas but it is still better. We don't exclude races with our extremely high living costs. Plymouth is the city that encourages all to live healthily and live a good lifestyle with its affordable living, restaurants, and beautiful views. It's welcoming to all. The only problem is that schools aren't the greatest. This is due to the fact that the middle-class cant afford to barricade their children form the real world with hunger, poverty, and death. Plymouth offers decent schools to all who cant otherwise afford privet schools.
I really enjoy living and working in Plymouth, MN. I like that the city of Plymouth is close enough to downtown Minneapolis, but it doesn't feel like you are living in the city. I like the options of night life activities that are available to everyone. You can easily find places to eat, watch movies, exploring the outdoors and being entertained! Honestly, I would want to change a thing. I really enjoy myself living in Plymouth.
