Plymouth Township had a surge of suburban development in the 1960’s-1970’s that resulted in creating many prominent Township neighborhoods, including Walnut Creek. This quaint neighborhood has about 80 homes built in the late 1970s that range from 2,050 sq. ft. ranches to 3,400+ sq. ft. colonials, tudors, and other styles. All homes in Walnut Creek have basements, attached garages, at least 3 bedrooms and at least 2 full baths. There are two entrances off of North Territorial – Portsmouth Crossing and Haverhill. Both streets connect at the South end of the neighborhood. The association recently replaced their entry signs with ‘Walnut Creek’ carved beautifully into stone.
In recent years, sold prices have ranged from $305,000 to a high of $419,000. The average sales price since September of 2014 is $398,600. With sizes varying dramatically and each home designed independently, it’s hard not to love Walnut Creek. This neighborhood prides itself on being a nature lover’s paradise with mature trees and rolling hills. Because of these hills, some homes feature walk-out basements. Homes sit on at least 0.3 acres each, some elevated on a hill or tucked away on a cul-de-sac.
The following homes sold in the last year in Walnut Creek:
- 13175 Wyndham Court sold for $395,000
- 12841 Portsmouth Crossing sold for $400,000

Walnut Creek is in the Plymouth-Canton school district. Children from this particular neighborhood may attend Bird Elementary and West Middle Schools, which are both on Sheldon Road. All students in Plymouth-Canton’s district will go on to PCEP (Plymouth Canton Educational Park). The Park is comprised of all three high schools for the district and a lottery decides whether your child will go to Canton, Salem or Plymouth high school. There are also many private and charter schools in the area for you to select from.

In the year 1825 the first settlers put down roots in present day Plymouth. Those original settlers bear a familiar name that was given to one of Plymouth’s main thoroughfares – Starkweather. In March of 1825 William Starkweather purchased 240 acres of land from the United States Government. The Starkweather’s home was built at 557 North Mill Street in the heart of Historic Old Village after their only surviving son, George Anson Starkweather, bought what was then called ‘North Village’ in 1831. Plymouth’s Old Village has been known by many names over the years; today it’s also fondly referred to as Lower Town.

Returned to it’s former elegance and charm, Hazelhurst was completely restored and revitalized in keeping with the home’s original style and architecture. Originally built in 1925, it has been cared for by a handful of owners over the years. All the features that could be renewed were brought back to their original luster including the rich hardwood floors and all trim and woodwork throughout. Some replacement items, such as windows, bathrooms, and kitchen, were chosen specifically in keeping with the history of the home while providing modern conveniences. The new 2 car garage was constructed with the same facade as the front of the house. Congratulations to the new owner on this, their first home in America!
The next neighborhood we’ve put our focus on is the City of Plymouth’s New England Village. Located West of Sheldon and North of N.Territorial, New England Village feeds to Bird Elementary and West Middle School – both a short walk away. Houses range in style from small and large ranches, to colonials and split-levels. They start at 925 square feet in the smaller ranch and get as large as 2,684 square feet in the larger colonial. We’ve done many sales in the neighborhood and admire the originality each home has. Filled with classically attractive homes for all family sizes. Currently, we have two homes listed in NE Village – 1628 Gloucester, a 3 bed, 2.1 bath ranch with 1,603 square feet and 1729 Old Salem, a 5 bed, 2.1 bath colonial in the innermost position of the sub. Both have flowing, original hardwood floors and agreeable layouts. Being walking distance to schools (public & private), and to Main Street Plymouth adds tremendous value and convenience to the homes. 1628 Gloucester and 1729 Old Salem with both be Open to the Public between 1-3pm. Come on by and witness the character and charm of New England Village!
