Flint Township is a mostly residential town with access to major cities
Flint Township is a small community that borders the city of the same name. Two expressways pass through town, making it easy to drive into downtown Flint, about 5 miles away, and Detroit, about a 70-mile drive. "I think accessibility is a draw," says Kari Hartley, Realtor with Re/Max Town & Country. That being said, residents have several amenities right in town, including local restaurants, major retailers and a shopping mall. Recreation options, including parks, a golf course and Mott Lake, are a short drive away.
Flint Township varies in density throughout, with some areas brodering agriculture.
Not filled with stores as it was, Genesee Valley Center remains a Flint Township retail hub.

Subdivisions, townhouses and condos make up the Flint Township market
Grassy lawns dotted with oak and pine trees stretch to the road. “There are established, well-maintained subdivisions that are highly sought-after,” Hartley says. Most subdivisions do not have homeowners associations. Sidewalks line some of the newer communities, like Valley Oaks, which are filled with New Traditional homes. The oldest properties, like Craftsman and traditional styles, date back to the early 20th century, although most were built after 1950. Ranch styles and split levels are common, as are Colonial Revivals. Most single-family houses cost $50,000 to $400,000, depending on size and condition. There are some manufactured homes, which can range from $20,0000 to $140,000. Townhouses and condos in the area can cost $90,000 to $330,000.
Because Flint Township gets its water from the Genesee County Water Service, it was unaffected by the lead contamination in the city of Flint in 2014. According to First Street, some properties have a major risk from flooding, while others have a minor risk. Depending on where a home is located, mortgage lenders may require flood insurance.
Residential commnuities sprinkled throughout Flint Township have a variety of home types.

Carman-Ainsworth and Flushing schools serve the community
Most of the region is served by the Carman-Ainsworth Community School District. Dye Elementary School receives a C from Niche, while Carman-Ainsworth Middle School has a C-minus. At the C-plus-rated Carman-Ainsworth High School, dual enrollment courses are offered through the University of Michigan-Flint and Mott Community College. Some homes are zoned for Flushing Community Schools. Both districts have school choice programs.
Dye Elementary School offers an excellent 15 to 1 student ratio to the 700+ students attending.
Carman-Ainsworth Middle School serves nearly 700 student from across Flint.

Major interstates and the airport draw in commuters
Residents rely on cars to get around and can easily access major thoroughfares. Interstate 69 intersects with Interstate 75, which leads about 70 miles to Detroit. The closest emergency room is at McLaren Flint Hospital, less than 1 mile outside the township’s borders. Flint Bishop International Airport is nearby; it offers nonstop service to over 10 destinations. Hartley says that flying out of Flint is more convenient than larger airports, where travelers may have to fight crowds and arrive hours before their flights. “You don’t have to do any of that rigmarole,” she says. “It’s a much more calm experience.”
Residents have a variety of options for shopping and dining
Both chain and locally owned eateries are in Flint Township. “There’s a pretty good mix of restaurants,” Hartley says. “My personal favorite is Ruggero’s, but I love Italian food.” At Ruggero’s, people can dine in or bring home ready-to-bake meals. Another option is Mega Classic Diner, a 50s-style diner with an expansive dessert menu that includes pie, ice cream and milkshakes. Lupe’s serves Mexican food. Genesee Valley Center is a shopping mall with a JCPenney and Barnes & Noble. The town library is also in the mall. Residents can get their groceries from Kroger, Aldi or Sam’s Club. Walmart, Home Depot and Target are also nearby.

Parks are a short drive from most homes
Parks are as little as 1 mile outside of town limits. At Elms Park, amenities include a playground and several athletic fields like a baseball diamond and tennis court. During the winter, people can go sledding or ice skating. The park is near the Genesee Valley Golf Course, a public, 18-hole course. The Flint River runs through town, and there is a kayak launch at Mitson Boulevard. The river flows into Mott Lake, about 10 miles away. There, locals can go swimming, boating and fishing. Bluebell Beach is one of many recreation spots along the shore and has a splash pad. On colder days when the ground is frozen, visitors can go snowshoeing.
Outgoing dogs in Flint Township can enjoy running around in the massive dog park at Elms Park.
Shaded picnic tables can be found right near the beach for public use at Bluebell Beach.
