Midtown of Plymouth

Plymouth, Michigan earns its reputation as one of metro Detroit's most charming small cities, tucked into Wayne County about 25 miles northwest of downtown Detroit and a similar distance northeast of Ann Arbor. Surrounded by Plymouth Township but operating as its own independent city, it covers just three square miles yet packs in a walkable downtown, a well-preserved historic core, and easy access to two major employment centers. The presence of the University of Michigan in nearby Ann Arbor gives the broader corridor an academic and research-driven economic energy that residents here feel too. Plymouth hosts the Plymouth Ice Spectacular every January, the largest ice carving festival in North America, drawing competitors and crowds to Kellogg Park each winter since 1982.
