Welcome to Flushing

Flushing sits on the Flint River west of Flint and has one of the prettiest historic Main Streets in Genesee County. It began as a mill town, and the river is still at the center of daily life, with a riverside trail, a bandshell park and a summer festival season. Buyers who want an established community with a walkable downtown and plenty of green space often end up here. The current Flushing-area listings appear below.

Flushing Community Schools serves the city and most of the township. Small parts of the township are in the Montrose and Clio districts (Wikipedia). St. Robert Catholic School offers Pre-K through 8th grade in Flushing (Wikipedia). Confirm the district for each address.

Living There

Riverview Park is the town's gathering place. It hosts the five-day Flushing SummerFest each June, along with summer concerts and movies in the park (Wikipedia). The 1.4-mile Riverview Trail follows the Flint River to Flushing County Park, and paddlers can launch at the River Road canoe/kayak launch. The restored 1888 depot is now the Flushing Area Museum and Cultural Center. Fall brings the Harvest Festival, and December brings the downtown Candle Walk (Wikipedia).

Tips for Buyers

• City or township? Each has its own government, police department and tax rates. I'll pull the parcel's tax history for you.
• Near the river: ask about floodplain status, flood insurance and drainage for homes close to the Flint River.
• Historic homes: plan for older systems, and ask whether any exterior work requires historic-district review.
• Some township homes may have a private well or septic. Confirm utilities, and budget for tax uncapping after you buy (MCL 211.27a).

Tips for Sellers

• Highlight walkability to Main Street, Riverview Park and the trail.
• Document updates to older homes, such as electrical, plumbing and the roof, so buyers feel confident.
• If you're near the river, have any elevation certificate or flood insurance details ready.
• For a winter listing, a cozy interior and summer photos of the yard and park go a long way.
