Flint is an affordable, mid-sized city with a growing arts and food scene anchored by the Flint Cultural Center, local coffee shops, seasonal farmers markets, riverside trails and community events — plenty to keep evenings and days off interesting during multi-week stays.
You’re also close to major hubs like Detroit and Ann Arbor for big-city dining, sports and festivals, so you can easily mix local discoveries with occasional day trips while living in a lower-cost, up-and-coming base.
