Incorporating much of the Genesee Recreation Area, the Northeast Flint/Beecher/Genesee neighborhood offers many fun outdoor activities, including beach-going, fishing, and boating. Visit Crossroads Village to see what life was like at the turn of the 20th century, and take a ride behind a steam engine on the Huckleberry Railroad. Paintball enthusiasts love CRU Paintball's indoor and outdoor fields, and the haunted house they put on in October is spooky fun. The McCree Theater celebrates the area's cultural history with plays, musicals, and professional concerts and features a folk art gallery as well. Just eight miles from downtown Flint, the apartments in this neighborhood make commuting to work easy.

For dinner, residents like to stop by Laredo's Mexican Restaurant for some char-grilled fajitas or chicken poblano, while Starlite Coney Island, open since 1966, serves up a retro diner experience complete with patty melts and country-fried steak.
