Welcome to Hartland
Hartland is a short drive south of Fenton on US-23, just over the line in Livingston County. It's a natural place to look if you want a rural feel and room to spread out, with an easy commute in almost any direction. US-23 and M-59 meet in the township, so Flint, Ann Arbor, Howell and Oakland County are all within reach. Here's my overview of the area. The current Hartland-area listings appear below.

Schools
Hartland Consolidated Schools serves Hartland Township (Wikipedia). The township spans several ZIP codes, so a Fenton, Holly or Howell mailing address can still fall in a different district. Confirm the district for each property.
Living There
Settlers Park, next to Township Hall on Clark Road, has a 1.4-mile paved bike path and nearly seven miles of natural trails. Hartland Heritage Field on Highland Road (M-59) is home to football, lacrosse and soccer. The Historic Hartland Music Hall on Avon Street, run by the Cromaine District Library, is a local landmark (Cromaine). The township even straddles a watershed divide: the north half drains to the Shiawassee River and the south half to the Huron River (Wikipedia).
Tips for Buyers
- No city here. Hartland is all township, so you'll deal with the Hartland Township assessor and Livingston County, not Genesee. Tax bills and millages will differ from Fenton's.
- Well and septic are common on rural parcels. Order well water testing and a septic inspection.
- Lake homes: ask whether a lake is private, and what your riparian rights or association access include (EGLE inland lakes guide).
- Budget for Michigan's post-sale tax uncapping (MCL 211.27a), and file your Principal Residence Exemption.
Tips for Sellers
- Lead with the commute. Easy access to US-23 and M-59 is one of Hartland's biggest draws.
- Have your survey, well, septic and outbuilding information ready.
- Make clear which school district and ZIP code your home is in, since they don't always line up.
- For a winter listing, keep long driveways plowed and show summer photos of the yard and any land.
