The new Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina in downtown Plymouth is now open where the Box Bar used to be. Located at 777 West Ann Arbor Trail right across the street from Kellogg Park – we now have another great thin crust pizza, pasta, and salad option for lunch in DTP! The contemporary interior with sky high ceilings and tall windows on 2 sides really makes the place feel spacious and light. Welcome to Plymouth!
(Updated 12-17-18). We had dinner last night at the new 160 Main in downtown Northville. After admiring the work to the building over the past year, it was great to finally walk through the doors into the 2 story bar area up front. Past the bar, there’s a dining room on the first floor and another dining area up stairs. We aren’t restaurant critics but really enjoyed the menu selection, food, and service. It’s another great upscale dining option in the City of Northville!
Walking by last night and located beside the Town Square, it looks like work at 160 Main is nearly complete and opening appears set for December 6th! The exterior facade looks great and so does the interior from what we can see. We are looking forward to trying this restaurant!

Our markets of Plymouth and Northville, both City and Township, remain strong and steady. The charts are fairly self-explanatory and locals know how intense the market is around us. The City of Plymouth continues to increase in value as the downtown area flourishes with busy shops, restaurants, and events. The City of Northville has also seen significant increases in value. The Townships of both Plymouth and Northville have also shown steady price increases in addition to growing new development activity – especially in Northville Township. The lack of inventory as shown below illustrates that in an area where there is limited opportunity for new development, the price of existing homes will appreciate in a strong market.
