Plymouth Township features beautiful subdivisions close to wonderful community parks, just a short drive from downtown Plymouth.

The Plymouth-Canton School District supports 13 elementary schools, five middle schools, and three unique high schools. One of the most innovative educational facilities in Michigan, the 305-acre Centennial Educational Park is a one-of—kind learning complex housing Plymouth, Canton and Salem High Schools. Courses available to students, who participate interchangeably at the three schools, range from auto mechanics through Mandarin Chinese, to extensive advanced placement courses.
