Swartz Creek is a connected community that’s expanding
Swartz Creek is a small city and semi-rural suburb, about 9 miles northwest of Flint. The population is about 5,900, according to U.S. Census estimates. The community's close-knit nature fits with its slogan, "Where Friendships Last Forever." "It's such a wholesome place to grow up. People want to be a part of that kind of community," says Christine Champlin, a Realtor and real estate advisor with Re/Max Platinum. "Swartz Creek is the kind of place where you would leave to go find your way, but go back to as soon as you start having a family."
Others are moving here for the first time. "Swartz Creek was pretty quiet before, but as bigger cities become more saturated, people are moving out here because of the land. Some of what were farmlands are becoming subdivisions," Champlin says.
Main Street in Swartz Creek connects residents to shops, dining, and community events.
Swartz Creek has some homes with large yards and porches.

Subdivisions with single-family homes and site condos are common
Though there are some early 20th century homes, ranch-style homes from the 1950s to '70s are more common. Added later, Traditionals and contemporaries include those built in the 2020s. Prices typically range from about $140,000 to $340,000.
Most of the condos are what Champlin calls site condos, a category related to building regulations. "The site condos allow builders to build a whole subdivision much quicker than with free-standing homes." Condos, like those in the Springbrook subdivisions, are about $200,000 to $320,000.
Swartz Creek’s subdivisions feature contemporary homes and a strong sense of community.

A proposed megasite altered the landscape and affected housing
Mundy Township, which has some overlap with Swartz Creek, includes the Advanced Manufacturing District of Genesee County. The 1,300-acre site is earmarked for large-scale investment, with the support of state funding, the Flint & Genesee Economic Alliance and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
The future of a proposed $55-billion megasite for the district was uncertain as of July 2025, when data-storage company Western Digital withdrew from the project. However, permanent changes already impacted the area as homes and businesses had been demolished to clear space. "I had a listing in Swartz Creek, and everyone who came to that house was looking for a new home because of the megasite," Champlin says.
