I am interested in the Plymouth/ Canton area. I am moving from New Baltimore and I am unsure of the areas over there. Looking for a reasonable house under 250,000. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

With Canton, you likely want to be on the west side of town. Canton towards Westland on the east isn't quite as nice. With Plymouth, if you're buying, the Township is a great deal on taxes and you're right at 14/275/96. So, getting naywher eis pretty easy. Both Plymouth & Canton are Wayne county, though, which means your taxes will be like a swift kick to the head.

If it were me, I'd go Plymouth and close to downtown Plymouth.

I would choose Plymouth, too, but I don't think you'll get much for $250K there. Canton has more options in that price range and Van Buren (the township just south of Canton) has a lot at 250K.

Great idea to live close to downtown Plymouth. Lots of nice old homes.

I'd be surprised if you could get a decent sized house in Downtown Plymouth for $250K, though. We looked there, and didn't find anything in that range. It is a GREAT little downtown, though. I absolutely fell in love with it! If you could find something in your range, I would go for it!

I've lived in Canton my whole life, and honestly I don't even know officially where Canton ends and Plymouth starts, short of Downtown Plymouth which is pretty distinctive. Barring maybe costs of houses and such, I think they're about the same. I live like a 5 minute drive from downtown Plymouth and it's not uncommon for my friends to drive down there, park somewhere, and just wander around.

The only thing I'd have to say kind of sucks about canton is traffic on Ford road, especially now that Ikea is open. I live RIGHT at the Ikea intersection and on weekends it's.. pretty painful.

North eastern canton's nice, there is quite alot of middle class homes, shopping(Ikea). you are very close to plymouth, downtown plymouth(bike ride away). good proximity of alot. Westland, downtown plymouth, 20 minute drive to Ann Arbor, 25 minute to Detroit, thirty downtown Detroit. Ikea traffic is bad, but nothing like they hyped it to be, like cars will be all over parking down residential streets and so on. no IKEA traffic comes down onto the rsidential streets.

I'm 23 years old and grew up my entire life in downtown Plymouth on Ann st. You can most def find a house in there for that price. Very nice for young couples, older couples, small families. I live in a condo in Canton now and HATE IT. It's over crowded traffic is horrible and ppl are just not as neighborly as the ones in Plymouth ( in my experience). When i decide to have kids I will absolutly move back to Plymouth.

Maybe it's just me but you couldn't pay me to live in the area. I use to. I also sold real estate there. Too congested, stuck up people and over priced.
