PLYMOUTH HARBOR
THE PLACE TO PURSUE PASSIONS Professional artist Scott Pike used his creative talents in everything from comic book illustration to story boarding TV commercials before he and his wife, Margi decided to move to Plymouth Harbor. It is not just the views or the airy art studio available to all residents, but the entire community that keeps them inspired with their decision to call Plymouth Harbor home. When quality of life, smart planning and freedom to pursue passions and new interests are top priorities, Plymouth Harbor is the wise choice. Call us today for a tour of our award-winning campus, luxury accommodations and amenities.
