Flat Rock

Flat Rock is located on the Huron River in southeastern Michigan. Flat Rock is a predominately single-family community, although a number of multiple-family developments have been constructed in recent years. Ford Motor Company occupies a prominent site adjacent to I-75 on the east side of the City.

Most of the commercial development is located along Telegraph Road [US-24], which crosses diagonally through the west side of the City. Fifty percent of the land is vacant, providing the opportunity for continued residential, industrial, and commercial growth.

Telegraph Road and I-75 provide good access within the region. Also, Will Carleton Road provides access to I-275 approximately four miles to the west.

The Grand Trunk Railroad runs from northeast to southwest through the City, connecting with a large rail classification yard in the northeast part of the City.

Huron River Drive provides ready access to several large regional recreation areas.
