Top 100 rank: #1 Plymouth, Minnesota!

What’s so good about Plymouth?
Heck, I live here so of course I’m going to have a few complaints here and there. But mostly, the place is great.
- Boring? Yes.
- Safe? Yes.
- Value? Yes.
- Pretty? Yes.
- Gorgeous? No.
- Rockin’? No.
- Serious? Yes.
- Crazy? YES!
Why? Well, Plymouth stretches from Highway 169 to a little past Highway 101. The vastness of this area makes for a huge difference in types of population (demographics).
For the most part, the east side reflects Armstrong High School and a lot of apartments and Section 8 town homes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
The west end is made up of single family homes that range anywhere from $200,000 to $1,000,000. Yes, that’s right…$1,000,000. The majority of kids go to Wayzata High School. But there are Section 8 town homes and condos in this neck of the woods, as well.

Here’s the story…

Plymouth’s numerous lakes are a magnet for boaters, water skiers and fishermen.
WINNER
Top 100 rank: 1
Population: 70,100
Compare Plymouth to Top 10 Best PlacesTopnotch schools, good jobs, affordable housing, low crime, an active outdoor culture - yep, they’re pretty much all here. Plymouth could have become just another Twin Cities suburb, but more than 50,000 jobs keep residents working there.Home prices are within reason: The typical three-bedroom, two-bath house goes for $350,000. The city’s main school district is ranked among the top three in the state, and for culture, Plymouth’s open-air amphitheater, the Hilde Performance Center, hosts numerous summer concerts. Residents are a quick drive from the Mall of America, the nation’s biggest mall.
And did we mention the outdoors? Plymouth boasts more than half a dozen sizable bodies of water. Of course, this being Minnesota, winter can be brutal: January’s average low temperature is about 13°F. But when the mercury plummets, the locals get busy. In February the city hosts a Fire & Ice Festival that includes mini-golf, bowling and basketball - all right on the ice.
