Hi all,

Anyone have a house for rent in a safe neighborhood in Flint or within 30 miles or so, any direction?

I'm a single professional woman with excellent steady, stable employment. I have three adult, spayed, well-behaved, indoor female cats that have lived with me for 11 years. I'm looking to rent two or more bedrooms, up to $700/month plus utilities.

I'd like a stand-alone house. Floors without carpets are preferable (I just prefer hardwoods/laminates -- I do own a good carpet cleaner). I'd like a garage, but the absence of one is not a deal-breaker. I'd like some space to garden, too, if that's possible.

I'd like to move in June or July.

I wouldn't be moving at all if it weren't for my next-door neighbor and semi-responsible landlord. I'm in a duplex in the College/Cultural neighborhood, and it was perfect until the new neighbor moved in last summer (intolerable) and my landlord decided to let another fall go by without fixing the roof. So now I live next to one of the worst neighbors I've ever had...and the roof leaks.

I moved to Flint for work in recent years and am unsure of where I want to live permanently, so I'm not ready to buy. I'd like to find a place that I can rent for a few years.

I'm quiet and responsible.

You may want to look in the Durand, Vernon, Owosso or Corunna area. These are very nice little towns, and about 15-20 minutes west of flint

I'm sure there are several for rent in my neighborhood between Center Rd., Dexter, Davison Rd., and Leith Street.

If your willing to go out 30 miles, Owosso area has lots to offer in that price range. Owosso is a nice clean town, low crime and affordable. The north side of town seems to be the nicest area. (near the hospital) Owosso is outside Genesee county so taxes and car insurance is cheaper. (your not paying for Flints problems) Another nice area that is commutable to Flint is south, toward Fenton. That area is a bit more money, but there is lots of shopping/restaraunts there.

Ditto that! I grew up in the Gaines/Durand area, and it's very nice.
