Overview
(edit)
Located 15 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis, Plymouth is the seventh largest city in the state with a population around 71,000; it is also the third largest suburb of the Twin Cities. A lively and welcoming suburb, Plymouth seems to have it all, at least according to Money Magazine as it was ranked number one among the top 100 Best Places to Live as part of the magazine's annual 2008 Best Places to Live list. Plymouth was chosen as number one because of its homes and neighbrohoods, parks, and award-winning schools; the city's main school district is ranked among the top three in the state. Also the city offers more than 50,000 jobs that keep its residents working in Plymouth. Other reasons why Money Magazine ranked it number one included affordable homes and culture. Plymouth's open-air amphitheater, the Hilde Performance Center, hosts numerous summer concerts.
Aside from the Hilde Performance Center, Plymouth has many other facilities for its residents to enjoy including an ice center, the Millennium Garden, Plymouth Creek Center and also many parks and trails, off-leash dog parks, and a disc golf course.

City Wiki
The values in Plymouth for rental housing are great right now. You will pay a little more than some other suburbs, but it's one of the best areas in the Twin Cities.
Be sure to insist on a professionally run apartment. They should have office staff who are helpful, onsite maintenance, and keep everything up to date and in working order.
French Regional Park is great! There is a HUGE playgound and miles of hiking & biking trails. Cross county skiing and sledding is offered in the winter and small boat rentals are available in the summer months to fish Medicine Lake. The park is always busy, no matter what time of year it is.
Part of the very strong Wayzata school district, one of the best in the region!
