Suburban Charm Did you know that Burton was once known as Burton Township and was named after John Burton, a local farmer? It’s fitting that a town that once thrived as an agricultural community would name itself after a farmer. Today, however, the city might have named itself after a local retailer, as Burton has evolved into a strong suburban community. Despite being the second largest city in Genesee County, Burton boasts a population of only 30,308. So, whether you live next to a farmer, teacher, or restaurant owner, you’ll be sure to get to know a good portion of your new neighbors fast. Be sure not to miss the Burton Parade or any other community events that Burton has to offer. No matter which of Burton’s beautiful apartments you rent, the city and its residents will make you feel right at home. A Mall for All Sure, Burton has its roots in farming, but that doesn’t mean you have to walk around in dirty overalls all day to feel like a real resident. Good thing for you, Burton is home to the Courtland Center, a large indoor shopping mall. The mall, which opened in 1968, is home to 60 stores and services taking up 460,000 square feet of space. Planning on running at one of Burton’s parks? Pick up some sneakers at Finish Line. Women and men can pick up new duds at Stephanye’s Flair and 810 Casual respectively. If you need a mid-shopping break, see a movie at NCG Courtland Cinemas or grab a bite to eat at El Cozumel Mexican Grill. Once you’re back on your feet, why not stop by Dollar & Party? Pick up some supplies there and throw a shindig at your new apartment. Whatever you need, you can most likely find it as the Courtland Center. And if overalls really are your thing, you can buy those there as well. Birds, Biking and More Being a suburb, Burton can offer parks and recreational activities that a big city just can’t compete with. Whether you’re interested in nature, golf, ice skating, biking, or simply relaxing on a bench with a Kindle in hand, you’ll find what you’re looking for in Burton. Be sure to visit the 40-acre Kelly Lake Park and take advantage of its nature trails, asphalt bike path, lake, and nature trails.
