Check Out Plymouth, Canton and Northville
CANTON--COMMITTED TO QUALITY OF LIFE
CANTON is growing and changing. We are attracting new
business, we are attracting new residents, and we are developing our land and
re-developing our buildings. Despite the growth and the changes, one thing
remains constant: a commitment to a high standard of living full of
opportunities for those who are here to work, live and play.
HOUSING…Canton provides a high quality and diverse
housing market that includes multi-family living, condominiums, townhouses, and
single-family homes. The housing market is plentiful and pleasing to all tastes
from contemporary design to traditional architecture.
EDUCATION…When asked what attracted many of our residents
to the Canton community, the response in many cases relates to the quality of
the schools. Canton is served by three school districts: Plymouth-Canton
Community Schools, Van Buren School District, and Wayne-Westland Community
School District. Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, a district that is
comprised of 14 elementary, 5 middle, and 2 high schools, serves the major part
of the community. Students in the district consistently score higher than the
state average on the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) and the
national average on the Standard Aptitude Test (SAT).
ARTS AND RECREATION…Canton is rich with parks and
recreational facilities that make the community not only a quality place to
live and work, but also a quality place to play. The Summit on the Park
celebrated its first anniversary and remains the talk around Canton and the
surrounding communities. In addition to five pools, gymnasium, running track,
racquetball courts, and full-service workout areas, The Summit also offers
quality banquet and meeting facilities appropriate for conferences, business
seminars, special events and receptions. In addition, Summit on the Park houses
the Canton community's Senior Center and provides programming for our
youngsters.

POSITIVELY PLYMOUTH
The
city and township of Plymouth is a real community…like a dream come
true…of small town and community pride of yesteryear, yet its location
(just 30 minutes west of downtown Detroit and 25 minutes east of Ann Arbor)
makes it ideally accessible to some of the nation's finest offerings: business,
international trade, industry, education, health care, cultural events,
entertainment, travel and Big 10 sporting events.
SPORTS AND RECREATION…If an afternoon bike ride strikes
your fancy, take a spin around Hines Park. The Plymouth community has acres
upon acres of parkland and miles of bike trails for your outdoor amusement.
ARTS AND CULTURE…Spend an evening listening to the
Plymouth Symphony Orchestra or watching a performance of the Theatre Players.
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY…Take a quick glance around and you
will see why so many firms boast a Plymouth business address. Colonial
architecture, picturesque downtown shops and restaurants, a tree-lined square,
and a myriad of cultural activities contribute to the area'' enviable
aesthetics and a strong sense of community.
SHOPPING AND DINING…From the 19th century antique shops
in historic Old Village to our contemporary downtown, along with Ann Arbor
Road, Plymouth is a shopper's paradise.
EDUCATION…Plymouth-Canton's school system now supports 14
elementary, 5 middle, and 2 very unique high schools. Students in the district
consistently score higher than the state average on the Michigan Educational
Assessment Program (MEAP) and the national average on the Standard Aptitude
Test (SAT).
