When thinking of Flushing, a stable community with beautiful views of the Flint River is generally what comes to mind. The vibrant downtown area with easy access to the freeway makes this community a great place for anyone to call home. In fact, for the 8,389 residents who live here, there is no place they would rather be. The city is only 3.79 square miles so you really do get to enjoy the small-town atmosphere, while having all of the benefits of living in a metropolitan area.
Flushing is packed full of constant entertainment and community events. This quaint city offers everything from Cruise Nights to Twilight Tuesdays. As if that isn't enough, they also have concerts in the park during the summer months. In the month of December, you can participate in the Annual Candle Walk. Finding your place is certainly not a challenge with all the different activities to choose from.
Home Choices
Luxury apartments, house rentals and even rental condos are all among the many choices offered in Flushing. Perhaps you like the outdoors and would prefer to live near Riverview Park. Maybe something along Flint River would do quite nicely. Either way, gathering information about the area before you begin your search will make the process of looking for your home effortless and exciting. You may want to check out the two-bedroom apartments for rent or even some furnished apartments. The furnished options are few and far between here, but keep your eyes peeled and you may just get lucky. Whatever you are looking for, you are sure to find in this vibrant community.
Paperwork
You didn't think you could move into Flushing without a little bit of paperwork, did you? Good. When planning your move to your new home here, you will want to come prepared. Potential landlords will expect certain documents to be provided in order to secure that perfect location. These documents may include your government issued ID, proof of income, and sometimes bank statements. Having a deposit amount available is also important so that the second you see that perfect apartment, you can put down your deposit to secure your spot. Deposits usually consist of first and last month's rent. This is not always the case, however, so be prepared and stay flexible.
Take a walk in Riverview Park, entertain yourself at Flushing Valley Golf Club, or grab a bite to eat at Bueche's Food World. These are all amenities offered right here in Flushing. You cannot go wrong when choosing the right neighborhood because they each include special qualities.
