Make It Home

Northern Genesee County communities bring small-town living to life. I-75/U.S. 23 intersect with M-57 to provide easy access to their unique attractions and traits. Montrose hosts timeless events like the Montrose Blueberry Festival, Christmas in the Valley and Pumpkin Fantasyland Tours at Montrose Orchards. On the shores of Mott Lake in Genesee Township is the county park's Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad, a popular  destination state-wide that features more than 30 restored historical structures and a steam railroad.

Additional communities include: Clio, Forest Township, Mt. Morris, Otisville, Thetford Township, and Vienna Township.

Located along the Flint River and home to Atwood Stadium, the Flint Cultural Center and the Capitol Theatre, Flint is the urban center of Genesee County. The brick street in “Vehicle City” is lined by a new hotel, boutique stores, locally owned restaurants and those favorites that have anchored the city for year. Thousands of college students who attend local universities and the many employees who spend their lunchbreaks downtown add to the city’s diverse vibes.

Beyond downtown, there is Chevy Commons, the county’s first state park, along the Flint River on the site of the former “Chevy in the Hole” manufacturing site; picturesque Thread Lake; Max Brandon Park that features pathways and parking areas ADA compliant; and miles of the Flint River for walking along or kayaking on.

Our central communities include Flint Township where you can shop ‘til you drop in numerous shopping centers or play the day away at DEFY Trampoline Park, The Sandbox Virtual Reality Arcade and Spymaker Escape Rooms. Smaller towns like Flushing and Davison offer historic downtowns, and acres of trails, sports fields and a BMX track. Burton encompasses both large corporations and For-Mar Nature Preserve & Arboretum.

Central Genesee County also includes Clayton Township and Richfield Township.

With more than 50 lakes, as well as the Shiawassee River, the Fenton/Linden area is ideal for anyone who loves the lake life. Grand Blanc often fills with high-level athletes, especially when The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren, part of the PGA TOUR of Champions, comes to town. And the close proximity to both I-75 and U.S. 23 makes it easy to escape "Up North" or travel south to Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Additional Southern Genesee County communities include: Argentine Township, Atlas Township, Gaines, Goodrich, Mundy Township, and Swartz Creek.
