I grew up in Michigan but spent most of life in living south of Detroit. I have spent time in the city of Plymouth and thought it was a pretty nice city. Cute downtown area etc. but dont know much about Plymouth township.
So this why I am asking, help me satsify my curiosity.....
Friend 1 bought a small home within walking distance of downtown Plymouth (no kids, professional, likes to go out a lot).
Friend 2 bought a pretty large home in Plymouth township (3 kids, professional and wanted space and more of a home body).
Friend 3 lives in a working class neighborhood (our home town) south of Detroit (2 kids, professional and is a serious homie and thinks people shouldn't move away).
I live out of state now so this leaves me out of loop regarding pros and cons.
Friend 3 constantly makes snide comments about friend 2 and how she made a mistake buying in Plymouth township because "its not that nice." I have no idea what she is talking about. I've seen photos of our friend's house and neighborhood (havent visited yet). Looks pretty damn nice to me. Friend 3 tends to be a jealous person at times and I think she has a chip on her shoulder. She rarely says anything negative about friend 1 house in the city of Plymouth. So unless I am missing something, seems like friend 3 needs to mind her own business and stop being a B.
What would be the advantages and disadvantages between the two areas? Different schools? More crime?
