Moving to Canton? Here’s a Local’s Guide to Settling In

Welcome to Canton! Whether you’re coming from across Michigan or across the country, here are our best tips for making yourself at home:

1. Get to Know Your Neighborhood

Join your HOA, local Facebook groups, and Nextdoor for community news.

Explore nearby parks like Heritage Park or Independence Park.

2. Schools & Kid Activities

Canton is known for strong public schools—check out Plymouth-Canton Community Schools for K-12 info.

Try the Summit on the Park for swim, fitness, and family events.

3. Meet the Neighbors

Attend block parties, local events, and “Coffee with a Cop” meetups.

Shop local at Canton Farmers Market and support small businesses.

4. Essentials & Services

Find a trusted local realtor (that’s us!), vet, and healthcare provider.

Set up utilities early—DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, and Canton Township for water/sewer.

5. Explore & Enjoy

Visit area staples like IKEA, Emagine Canton, and the Village Theater.

Try out dining spots from local pizza to international cuisine—Canton has it all!
