Massachusetts's largest town by land area

Plymouth's real, substantial geographic size means daily transportation is genuinely car-dependent outside the walkable historic downtown near the waterfront.

Regional rail access via Kingston

MBTA commuter rail (the Kingston Line) serves the Plymouth area via the neighboring Kingston station rather than a stop within Plymouth's own town center -- a real, practical commuting option for residents willing to drive to the station.
