Plymouth

 

The namesake of Plymouth County, Plymouth is also known as “America’s Hometown.” Perched on the coast of Massachusetts, this city unwinds with true American charm complete with urban sensibilities and luxury amenities. As the oldest municipality in the United States, it has had time to fully blossom into the unbeatable city it is today. Plymouth is full of community, activity, and historic renown, and is even the largest municipality in all of Massachusetts.

 

Home to more than historic charm, Plymouth also boasts its fair share of historic homes. Architectural styles pepper the tree-lined streets, offering Cape homes and more in a variety of styles such as Colonial, Queen Anne, gracious ranch style homes, and more. Thanks to its urban locale, Plymouth is also home to state-of-the-art condominiums, apartments, and new luxury estates. Between historic charm and modern luxury, the hometown of America has it all.

 

 

Enveloped by some of the United States' earliest and most famous history, Plymouth is home to a rustic charm that perfectly mixes with its sprawling, urban sensibilities. Locals and tourists alike can visit an outdoor living history museum as easily as they can access modern luxuries such as top-end boutiques, fine dining, and more. Plymouth is home to just over 60,000 people, and the median age of a resident is 44. Residents often own their homes and enjoy the sparse, suburban feel as much as the urban vibe. Strolling along historic streets, spending time watching ocean waves wash up on the shore, or visiting the great shopping districts are all favorite ways to spend a weekend or enjoy the sunny summer days. But in the winter, Plymouth still has a lot to offer: the holidays have never looked more picturesque than in this historic New England town. Steeped in history and brimming with modern luxury, Plymouth is a sprawling urban center ideal for anyone who values natural beauty in addition to the urban atmosphere.

 

Thanks to Plymouth’s urban sensibilities, there are more than enough options when it comes to dining, shopping, and entertainment. Local favorites or opulent fine dining establishments await, while it’s easy to spend an afternoon at a shopping center or chic shop.

 

For a uniquely delicious fine dining experience, reserve a table at Salt, an establishment offering raw bar and fine cuisine. Sashimi, classic seafood, an extensive wine list, and more create this experience. Lobster Hut, on the other hand, puts its best New England foot forward with traditional Northeast fare.

 

A modern New England gastropub with fun surroundings and farm-to-table cooking can be found at The Tasty, which also offers a top-tier cocktail bar. Nestled in the historic downtown of Plymouth is Cork + Table, a small, owner-operated bistro. Over 90 wines, unbeatable American fare, and a great atmosphere meet here.

 

Between the rich history, gorgeous natural surroundings, and emphasis on arts and culture, Plymouth is full of activity. Recreation has never been easier.

 

One of the most iconic sights in American history, Plymouth Rock is a feather in the cap of historic Plymouth. Locals can visit the landing spot of the first English settlers more easily than just about anyone else in the nation. Even more historic wonder can be found at Plimoth Patuxet, which dives into the history of America’s foundation.

 

Gorgeous blue water laps up onto clean, sandy shores at Plymouth’s Long Beach. A top destination for beach goers and those who love the outdoors, locals and tourists alike adore Long Beach. Watch the Plymouth community come to life at the annual Plymouth Waterfront Festival. Duck racing, live entertainment, and artisan crafts are all available here.
