South Side Homes for Rent

South Side in Flint is known for its affordability, featuring 1940s bungalows, minimal traditional homes, and cottages, typically around 1,000 square feet on 4,000-square-foot lots. These homes often have shingle siding, small basements, or concrete slats, with off-street parking provided by driveways and single-car garages. The neighborhood is particularly appealing to first-time homebuyers, with prices ranging from $10,000 for handyman specials to $150,000 for newly remodeled homes. Brennan Park hosts the annual South Side Reunion every August, drawing hundreds for a day of food, music, and community bonding. Residents are also close to downtown Flint, where events like the Flint Night Market and Alley Fest in Buckham Alley feature vendors, artists, and live music. Sitdowners Memorial Park commemorates the historic 1936-1937 sit-down strikes, while Broome Park offers playgrounds and open fields. South Side's location provides convenient access to Interstates 75, 475, and 69, making commutes to Genessee County, metro Detroit, Lansing, or Ann Arbor straightforward. The neighborhood is just 3 miles from Bishop International Airport and 4 miles from McLaren Flint hospital. The General Motors Flint Assembly plant, a major local employer, is situated just west of South Side.
