The good and bad of living in Plymouth

First post here. My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. With a population of 10,506, Plymouth is a small town. Poverty rate is 8.8%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $957/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Let me know your thoughts. Any help is appreciated. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value community vibe, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely average and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Riverside) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. walkability is completely different here. And Road conditions need improvement.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
