The homes of Plymouth
Walkable historic downtown centered on Kellogg Park's town square, surrounded by but independent of Plymouth Township. On the record: Birthplace of the Daisy BB gun, first produced by the Plymouth Iron Windmill Company after its 1886 invention in Plymouth. Some 8,905 residents occupy about 4,170 households. Incorporated as a village in 1867 and became a city in 1932.
The housing stock
By the 2023 five-year American Community Survey, 62.4% of units are detached single-family homes and 70.3% of occupied units are owner-occupied. Some 63.2% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Also on the ground: Kellogg Park, the central downtown square that anchors the shopping and festival district.
Water at Rouge River changes what humidity does, so moisture and condensation get the longest look.
