2019 Best Places to Buy a House in the Flint AreaAbout this List

Linden

• Town in Michigan
• 11 reviews

Nearby Resident: I have never lived in downtown Linden, but I do spend a lot of time there from attending school to having my first few jobs. All I can say for the little town is that I absolutely love it. It is by far the best town to walk around and go trick or treating in. But, even on a beautiful summer day it is super nice to just go walk around town and shop around, maybe even grab some ice cream on your way back home. I worked at a little grocery store in town for about a year and it was really lovely to get to know all the regulars in town, so many people there have a story to tell.

Flushing Charter Township

• Town in Michigan
• 26 reviews

Current Resident: I love the community of Flushing. It is truly a wonderful place to live. I grew up in Flushing, and I cherish the memories from my childhood--playing outside with all the neighborhood kids; family barbecues with all the neighbors and kids. And now I am blessed to own a home here. My husband and I are grateful for the opportunity to raise our family in the same community...where neighbors are friends.

Grand Blanc Charter Township

• Town in Michigan
• 91 reviews

Niche User: Grand Blanc is a nice area with great schools. The weekly farmers market downtown, the occasional fair, and other small town events are wonderful. Walking through downtown is always nice. You can enjoy the park, get ice cream from Ziggy's, or stop by the Hot Dog Stand. You rarely hear of "crime" in Grand Blanc and always see police cars patrolling the streets. The high school is a nice school with great academics. I would definitely encourage people to move here! It isn't a big city but thats what I like about it, you get the small town feel. I definitely see it improving even more in the future. They are constantly adding to the area and improving the city.

Niche User: Yes, If I had to grow up again I would choose to live in Fenton Michigan. I think Fenton has a bright future ahead of it. Teachers at Fenton area public schools just received an increase in their budgets. Also, the software was updated throughout the district.

Goodrich

• Town in Michigan
• 8 reviews

Current Resident: I'm a junior at Goodrich High School, and have lived in Goodrich for almost 6 years. As a fairly small village, Goodrich has obvious positive and negative attributes. It is easy to get to know a lot of people, whether old or young. The schools are very good, and are very friendly to new students (again due to the small size.) There is a distinct lack of fast foods, having only Subway in town, but we have a few restaurants like John's Pizzaria or Smokin Joes. A nice positive about Goodrich is you get the small town feel with the perks of a larger town, since Goodrich is next to Davison and Grand Blanc. A downside is that property in Goodrich tends to be hard to come by and expensive.

Holly

• Town in Michigan
• 28 reviews

Current Resident: There are many opportunities in Holly, especially education wise. I came from a poorer school system and Holly was able to provide me with multiple AP and online courses, extracurricular activities that took me around the United States, and access to good colleges. The town is moderately small, but has lots of space and a very scenic downtown. Over the years that I've lived here, Holly used to have a lot of empty, broken down storefronts. Now, nearly every space is filled with businesses. Holly is also located in between several other larger towns that put residents close to several other businesses including Walmart, Michael's, and several popular restaurants.

Grand Blanc

• Town in Michigan
• 51 reviews

Current Resident: I love Grand Blanc and my small city neighborhood. We have sidewalks and a growing group of businesses. I enjoy walking to my favorite ice cream shop downtown or the post office. It's such a safe place to live!

I would like to see a better developed plan for those businesses and the way the downtown is shaped by them. The leadership seems unfocused, evidenced by the way businesses are treated and which is encouraged to open here. We have too many empty buildings which need to be marketed to niche companies who can fit the varied residents of our small city.

Elba Township

• Town in Michigan

Niche User: I would definitely live here again. This is the best place to live. The public school's are really good, there is a small college campus here, a catholic school, and a private school. Whatever type of schooling you want, we've got it. There are several grocery stores and restaurants to pick from. The movie theater is great or you could go downtown to the Pix and see a live play, a concert, or a comedian.

Fenton

• Town in Michigan
• 54 reviews

Current Resident: Fenton is a quiet, nice, laid back little town. It has alot of charm and has a relaxing vibe. We are lacking good retail clothing for all ages although Green Oaks and Genesee Valley are 20-30 minutes away.
There are two nice grocery chains, Walmart and VG's. There are plenty of churches, good schools and over the last 5 years, some very nice restaurants that have opened. The cost of housing remains low in comparison with the Metro-Detroit housing market. You definitely get more for your money here. Gas prices are high however and the sewer bill of $255.00 per quarter is not pleasant. There is no shortage of beautiful lakes, if you enjoy a day at the beach, boating, fishing or swimming. The people in Fenton are overall friendly, family orientated and wholesome. Biggest complaint is we don't have a good car wash but otherwise a good place to live!

Burton

• Town in Michigan

Current Resident: Living in Burton is cool and all, especially where I live because I am very close to businesses that I actually go to. However, my experience with the school district was pretty bad, so I had to go to the school district in a neighboring city to get the quality education that I deserved.

Davison

• Town in Michigan
• 23 reviews

Current Resident: Genesee County can tend to have a bad reputation because of Flint. I would consider Davison to be the best place to live in Genesee County. Davison is a growing city with many beautiful neighborhoods and a very could public school system. I would consider Davison a family friendly place with a growing number of new restaurants being added. The only downside to Davison would be the lacking of a variety of restaurants and department stores.
