My family and I are moving to Flint, Michigan and I wanted to know what neighborhoods are safe? We were looking at a home in the Kettering U/Flushing area somewhere close to Mott park. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks in advance.

I responded in the other thread where you asked, so I will cut/paste.

The campus is safe, but the neighborhoods surrounding are not great. With the exception of Carriage Town (which is off of Flushing Rd/5th Avenue near Hurley Hospital) and the Durant (downtown), I would not even consider living north of the river.

When searching or asking people for advice, make sure you designate "Flushing Road". If you say "Flushing", people will think you are talking about the suburb, which is a suburban, middle class town with little crime.

I'd look at the neighborhood south of Miller rd. and north of the Swartz Creek golf course. It seems to be reasonably safe with nice houses. Don't look north of the river, period.
