About Burton

Burton is a Genesee County city and an eastern suburb of Flint. It is mostly a residential and commercial community, with neighborhoods, schools, churches, and shopping corridors serving everyday life in the Flint area. Its regional role matters more than any single landmark: close to Flint, more suburban in layout, and part of the same Genesee County economic and commuting pattern. Burton is practical mid-Michigan suburbia rather than a destination-style small town.
