One of Davison Michigan's biggest draws, particularly for those looking to relocate to new home developments in the Flint area, is its highly-rated public school system. Most residents agree that Davison is one of the best places in Eastern Michigan due largely to the quality education that students receive from the Davison Community Schools public school district.
Davison is a city in Genesee and a suburb of Flint, located just 11 miles away. In addition to its quality public school system, Davison is a friendly and safe suburban community with very little traffic. It is conveniently located with easy access to Lansing, about an hour to the west by car, and Detroit, about an hour to the south. Although it is a relatively small community, all possible amenities are just a short drive away, as the community is situated between Flint and Lapeer.
Parks play an important role in the city of Davison. Its parks system offers many walking and biking trails, opportunities for swimming and education, historical and cultural discovery, and many gardens, skating, and other sports facilities. Davison is also home to a year-round farmers market. It is known as the "City of Flags" after The United States Junior Chamber or "Jaycees" began selling flags to local merchants as a fundraiser in the early 1960s. The tradition of displaying flags stuck and has become an integral part of the community. Davison is also the hometown of award-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.
There are 26 active new home communities in Davison with 13 new home builders who are constructing homes for those looking to begin raising a family in one of the most desirable locations in eastern Michigan. Other popular towns in the area for new housing development include Swartz Creek, Linden, and Flushing.
