Moving to the Plymouth Michigan Area

I am going to talk about moving to Plymouth Michigan area.  Plymouth and Plymouth Township are two different communities governed by two separate governments.  But here in Michigan we talk of Plymouth and Plymouth Township as one and the same.  Residents of either place just say they are from Plymouth.

We even have a little overflow from some people from the west even say that they are from Plymouth when in fact they live in Salem Township.  Some of Salem Township has a Plymouth mailing address and some of the kids go to Plymouth schools.  Salem Township is a fairly large community.  I would call it a semi-rural township.  Many of the homes have large lots and some even have acreage.  It is a good community to live in if you are looking for distance from your neighbors.

Plymouth has a good sized old Downtown with Kellogg Park in the center.  Salem Township does have a centralized downtown, but if you blink while driving by you will miss it.  It is probably nine or ten buildings at the very most.  I know there is a party store and I think a church.  Like I said if you blink your eyes you will have missed it.  I have driven by it hundreds of times but I can't remember much about it.

Salem doesn't have all the restaurants, bars, coffee houses, or stores like Plymouth's downtown area does.  Salem Townships homes are going to have space.  You are not going to find many subdivisions out there.  Plymouth Michigan's homes are very different.  You will find many well laid out neighborhoods in Plymouth

So if you are moving to the Plymouth area, check out Salem Township as well as Northville, Novi, and Canton Township.  You will be glad you did.  If you need more information to make your move to Michigan a success give me a call on my cell at (313) 310-9855.  I know the area well.  I lived there for 23 years.

Michigan also has some very large lake areas near the Metro Detroit area.  You may find a home near Walled Lake Oakland County
