The name comes from Plymouth Avenue SE, the north–south corridor this pocket runs along on the southeast side of Grand Rapids. It sits right on a municipal seam, where the Ottawa Hills section of Grand Rapids meets the East Grand Rapids city line near Hall Street SE — close enough that listings here market interchangeably under both cities. As a place name, "Plymouth Heights" is lightly documented: its clearest bearer is Plymouth Heights Christian Reformed Church at 1800 Plymouth Ave SE, which has carried the name in this part of town since 1951. Think of it less as a formally bounded neighborhood and more as an area label for the streets around that corridor.
